Hidden in Plain Sight: the Nat Images of Myanmar
Supernatural beings known as ‘nats’ are widely represented in Myanmar art. Until now they have been a neglected area of research, overshadowed by an academic focus on the country’s Buddhist art and architecture. The research for this thesis analyses why the nats are depicted in particular ways, how …

Punching Holes in the Cloud: Direct Communication between Serverless Functions Using NAT Traversal
… able to bypass this restriction using standard NAT traversal techniques. By using an external server, we implement TCP hole punching to establish direct TCP connections between functions. In addition, we develop a communications framework to manage NAT traversal and data flow for applications …

Investigation into performance of IPV4 and IPV6 transition mechanisms and distributed NAT-PT implementation
… techniques. In this thesis, we also improve NAT-PT performance by transforming the centralized system into a distributed system. We conduct a set of experiments to compare TCP performance of distributed NAT-PT and centralized NAT-PT. Our experimental results show that, although distributed …

Development and evaluation of a new biochip Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) multi-target for cervical cancer screening
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women and the cytological screening represents the most diffuse method of prevention. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an established essential etiological factor for this cancer. Persistence of HPV infection, particularly by those belonging to the …

Performance and economic comparison of conventional and non-conventional post-weaning calf management systems
… 2, respectively) using conventional (CONV) or natural (NAT) management. The usage of performance enhancing technology (PET) including hormone implants, monensin and tylosin was included in CONV treatments, but not NAT. Each year of the study, 240 steers were allocated into three weight brackets …

Characterization of the genetic variability of human arylalklamine-N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) and its potential effects on melatonin production and the sleep pattern
… enzyme, arylalkylamine-N-acetyl-transferase (AA-NAT). Genetic variability of the AA-NAT gene may therefore potentially influence sleep patterns in normal population and account for the widely reported inter-individual variability of melatonin production. In this project, an initial sleep pattern …

Impact of Network Address Translation on Router Performance
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method by which Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are translated from one group to another, in a manner transparent to the end users. It translates the source and destination addresses and ports in the Internet Protocol datagram. There are several benefits for …

Designing Next Generation Nucleic Acid Diagnostics Using Synthetic Biology and Artificial Intelligence
Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) is an indispensable tool for effective disease diagnosis. Analyzing pathogen and host RNA or DNA often provides otherwise unobtainable information necessary for proper patient treatment. Unfortunately, a number of technical barriers prevent the expansion of NAT technology …

Theoretical and experimental studies of heterogeneous chemical processes leading to stratospheric ozone depletion
… on crystalline ice and nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) are of fundamental interest to physical chemists, because such reactions yield "active" chlorine compounds that are readily photolyzed to yield radicals responsible for the annual destruction of polar stratospheric ozone. Using …

A Computer Model to Estimate Benefits of Data Link Mandates and Reduced Separations across North Atlantic Organized Track System
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) proposed to introduce new operational strategies across the North Atlantic (NAT) airspace. This includes Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) airspace to increase the capacity and efficiency of the North Atlantic Organized Track …

Genetic polymorphisms and organophosphate neurotoxicity amongst emerging farmers in the Western Cape
… S-transferases (GST), N-acetyltransferases (NAT) and Paraoxonase (PON1). RESULTS: Median age was 39 (30-48) and most had 9 years of education or less (65.5%). 54% of the participants were OP pesticide applicators. There was a low prevalence of the GST null genotype (GSTT-1% and GSTM-16%) and …

Encouraging technology transition through value creation, capture and delivery strategies : the case of data link in the North Atlantic airspace
… thesis studies the problem of data link in the NAT under a technology transition framework of value creation, capture, and delivery. Creating value through a new technology, such as data link, refers to designing competitive value propositions for stakeholders. Capturing value means recovering …
