Improving automatic rigging for 3D humanoid characters
In the field of computer animation the process of creating an animated character is usually a long and tedious task. An animation character is usually efined by a 3D mesh (a set of triangles in the space) that gives its ...
Improving bladder cancer treatment: a new formulation containing an environmental mycobacterium
El càncer de bufeta (BC) és un dels càncers més comuns a Europa. Afortunadament, la majoria de pacients es diagnostiquen en els estadis primerencs de la malaltia, quan el tumor es troba a la mucosa. D’aquest estadi en diem ...
Improving cache Behavior in CMP architectures throug cache partitioning techniques
The evolution of microprocessor design in the last few decades has changed significantly, moving from simple inorder single core architectures to superscalar and vector architectures in order to extract the maximum available ...
Improving compression after impact response of composite laminates through ply level hybridization with thin plies and unsymmetrical designs
Despite the weight savings, composite materials are vulnerable to impact loads mainly due to the alarming reduction in the compression after impact strength (CAI). This thesis exploits the potential of laminate designs ...
Improving Creativity Training. An examination of the effects of delivery method and problem realism on creative performance in post-training ideation
Durant les darreres set dècades la creativitat ha atret un interès creixent. Investigadors científics de diversos camps acadèmics, així com gerents d'empreses, professionals de la creativitat i educadors, estan interessats ...
Improving Data Fusion in User Positioning Systems
A fault detection and correction methodology for user positioning systems based on Kalman filtering is presented in this thesis. To develop this methodology, various aspects of the design of positioning systems are taken ...
Improving data utility in differential privacy and k-anony mity
We deal with SDC from the computer science community perspective. The focus lies on two mainstream privacy models: k-anonymity and differential privacy. Once a privacy model has been selected, the goal is to enforce it ...
Improving decision tree and neural network learning for evolving data-streams
High-throughput real-time Big Data stream processing requires fast incremental algorithms that keep models consistent with most recent data. In this scenario, Hoeffding Trees are considered the state-of-the-art single ...
Improving detection capabilities of doping agents by identification of new phase I and phase II metabolites by LC-MS/MS
Metabolic studies of doping agents have been traditionally performed by using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the last years, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has ...
Improving diagnostic strategies for latent tuberculosis infection in populations at risk for developing active disease
BACKGROUND Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) management is a crucial component of tuberculosis prevention in high-risk individuals. A global approach including diagnosis and treatment completion ensures good ...
Improving ebpr stability in wwtps aiming at simultaneous carbon and nutrient removal: from modelling studies to experimental validation
L’eliminació biològica de nutrients (EBN) a les estacions depuradores d’aigües residuals (EDARs) es considera el procés més rentable y mediambientalment més respectuós per a prevenir l’eutrofització i complir amb els cada ...
Improving heterogeneous system efficiency : architecture, scheduling, and machine learning
Computer architects are beginning to embrace heterogeneous systems as an effective method to utilize increases in transistor densities for executing a diverse range of workloads under varying performance and energy ...
Improving islet-graft revascularization
El trasplante de islotes ha sido reconocido como una prometedora opción de tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 1 (DT1) tras la introducción del protocolo de Edmonton, el cual enfatiza el requerimiento de un adecuado número de ...
Improving mathematical abilities by training numerical representations in children : the relation between learning mathematics and numerical cognition
Improving mathematical abilities is important for educational systems and for society overall. We present two training regimes based on numerical representations. In Study 1, we show that a three-week computer-based ...
Improving Memory Hierarchy Performance on MapReduce Frameworks for Multi-Core Architectures
La necesidad de analizar grandes conjuntos de datos de diferentes tipos de aplicaciones ha popularizado el uso de modelos de programación simplicados como MapReduce. La popularidad actual se justifica por ser una abstracción ...
Improving molecular diagnosis in myeloid neoplasms : The role of cell-free DNA
Myeloid malignancies are clonal diseases originated in myeloid hematopoietic stem cells that are frequently initiated by somatic mutations. The detection of genetic alterations has considerably improved the diagnostic ...
