Egocentric Vision Based Localization of Shopping Cart
… we analyse this challenge to localize shopping cart in stores. Three main contributions are given with this thesis. As first, we propose a new dataset for shopping cart localization which includes both RGB and depth images together with the 3-DOF data corresponding to the cart position and …

Visual Feedback Stabilisation of a Cart Inverted Pendulum A
… continue this pursuit by employing the classic Cart Inverted Pendulum; an inherently unstable, non-linear system to investigate dynamic object balancing by vision-only feedback. The Inverted Pendulum is considered to be one of the most fundamental benchmark systems in control theory; as a …

Development of Multi-Modality Imaging Cart for Barrett’s Esophagus
Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) is a key precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), but current screening and risk assessment methods are ineffective and costly. Many BE cases remain undiagnosed due to asymptomatic patients, and existing risk algorithms rely on patient data rather than biomarkers. This …

Putting The Cart Before The Horse: Understanding The Family Assessment Process In Early Intervention
<p>The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of six state-wide policies and procedures used in the family assessment process within early intervention services. This study looked at the administrative understanding of the family assessment federal regulations, state policies and …

Using the classification and regression tree (CART) model for stock selection on the S&P 700
… using a Classification and Regression Tree (CART) built during an in-sample period and then used for predicative purposes during an out-of-sample period deliberately comprising both a period of financial crisis and recovery. For these periods, various portfolios and performance measures are …

Alpha Spectroscopy in a Superheated Bubble Chamber and the Design of the PICO-500 Hydraulic Control Cart
… the design of the PICO-500 hydraulic control cart has progressed from early concepts to a sophisticated CAD model, with construction set to begin at Queen’s University. With PICO-500 poised to probe unexplored WIMP interaction parameter space, projections indicate it will achieve energy …

INFLAMMATORY AND T-CELL HOMEOSTASIS PARAMETERS IN DUAL AND TRIPLE COMBINATION ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (CART) FOR HIV INFECTION
… despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). While cART has transformed HIV into a manageable chronic condition, it remains unable to eradicate the virus or fully restore immune homeostasis. This study explores two critical aspects of HIV management: (i) the impact of early cART …

A Designed Research Study Examining The Impact Of Using A Motivational Model For Mastering The Crash Cart
… the effects of strategically designed crash cart training using Keller's motivational design model ARCS (Keller, 2010) for novice nurses. The purpose of this mixed methods design-based research study was to determine the motivational levels of novice/beginner nurses in the work environment …

Multimodal neuroimaging signatures of early cART-treated paediatric HIV - Distinguishing perinatally HIV-infected 7-year-old children from uninfected controls
… initiated combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in infancy and had their viral loads suppressed from a young age, and 55 HIV- control children. Neuroimaging features were extracted to generate 7 MRI-derived sets. For sMRI, 42 regional brain volumes (1st set), mean cortical thickness and …

The Approach-dependent, Time-dependent, Label-constrained Shortest Path Problem and Enhancements for the CART Algorithm with Application to Transportation Systems
… with the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm, and its application to the Activity Generation Module of TRANSIMS. The CART algorithm has been popularly used in various contexts by transportation engineers and planners to correlate a set of independent household demographic …

Novel immunotherapy for paediatric cancers
… T lymphocytes to specific tumour antigens. CART cells targeting CD19 (CAR19) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy against B cell malignancies in clinic. Currently used methods of CAR gene transfer to T cells based on viral vectors are complicated by the time and expense involved in the …

Evaluating individuals with extreme phenotypes of HIV-1 contributes towards better healthcare management of all HIV-1 positive individuals
… initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) (vs not immediately initiating) among those with high CD4 cell counts (>500cells/mm3) and high HIV-RNA (>100,000 copies/ml). We contributed towards the ‘what cART to start’ question; among individuals initiating boosted protease inhibitor, …

Two Methodologies: How Well Can Universities Predict Retention
… such as the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) have proven to yield significant results in a variety of research fields. As these new statistical methodologies emerge, it is always worthwhile to compare the modern approaches with the longstanding classical statistical approaches. The …

Benefits of a Tree-Based model for stock selection in a South African context
… the use of Classification and Regression Tree (CART) models for stock selection within the South African context, with the focus being on the period from when the Global Financial Crisis began in early 2007 until December 2012. By utilising four types of portfolios, a CART model is directly …

Structural and Molecular Correlates of Individual Differences in Anxiety Behavior and the Stress Response
… Cocaine-Amphetamine—Regulated-Transcript (CART). CART expression was higher in the hippocampus and medial amygdala of "Calm" individuals, and expression in the hippocampus, central amygdala, mPFC, and orbitofrontal cortex correlated with anxiety behavior. CART expression also differed in …

Prevalence, predictors and HIV disease progression in immunovirogical discordant HIV patients at 12 months of first line antiretroviral therapy in Zambia.
Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has improved mortality and morbidity among HIV-infected patients. However, a third of HIV-infected patients still present to care with advanced disease despite the rollout of cART. Some of these patients fail to appropriately reconstitute their immune system …
