Quantifying ubiquitin dynamics
Ubiquitin (Ub) is a small protein that is frequently attached to other proteins as a post-translational modification (PTM) to elicit a new function, cellular localization, or otherwise modulate the activity of the substrate protein. Ub addition and removal serves as a signal for proteasome …

Quantifying Dislocation Microstructures
In this work, we reconstructed and full characterized a dislocation microstructure that formed during an in situ micro-cantilever beam experiment. Based on this information, we were then able to infer how the dislocations propagated from the notch into the specimen. We propose using the so-called …

Quantifying Computer Network Security
<p>Simplifying network security data to the point that it is readily accessible and usable by a wider audience is increasingly becoming important, as networks become larger and security conditions and threats become more dynamic and complex, requiring a broader and more varied security staff …

Quantifying software architecture attributes
Software architecture holds the promise of advancing the state of the art in software engineering. The architecture is emerging as the focal point of many modem reuse/evolutionary paradigms, such as Product Line Engineering, Component Based Software Engineering, and COTS-based software development. …

Quantifying Uncertainty in Model Evaluation
As Machine Learning models have quickly evolved in the past decade, ways of measuring their potential haven’t. This proposal will pose that simple point estimate performance indicators are ill suited to describe models that exhibit inherent variability. Addressing classifier performance variability …

Quantifying Vulnerability to Critical Infrastructure
… value model was used as the logic construct for quantifying vulnerability. Subject-matter experts were queried to establish the shapes of value functions and importance (weights) in the model. Another set of subject-matter experts are queried to assess a notional clean water system with respect …

Quantifying Information Flow with Constraints
Quantifying flow of information in a program involves calculating how much information (e.g. about secret inputs) can be leaked by observing the program's public outputs. Recently this field has attracted a lot of research interest, most of which makes use of Shannon's information theory, e.g. …

Quantifying Grit in MLB Batters
This thesis investigates the quantification of grit in Major League Baseball (MLB) batters, a crucial yet underexplored area in sports analytics traditionally gauged through qualitative assessment. Utilizing 2023 game data from the top 160 most utilized MLB batters, this study develops a Grit Score …

On quantifying global nation brands
People's perception of various nations, nation brands, are quantified via world news quizzes, in which study participants match geographically vague news stories to the nations they think they occurred in, thereby potentially revealing how they positively or negatively perceive said nations. The …

Quantifying the Limits of Fingerprint Variability
Fingerprints are one of the most widely used identification features in both the biometric and forensic fields. However, the comparison and identification of fingerprints is made difficult by fingerprint variability arising from distortion. This study quantifies the limits of fingerprint …

Quantifying uncertainty in reliability block diagrams
Reliability analysis yields statistically derived technical system performance estimates. Traditional reliability analysis employs classical statistical techniques predicated upon asymptotic properties of large data sets. Not uncommonly, however, medium to small data sets constrain analysis efforts …

Quantifying crystalline exhumation in the Himalaya
In 1915, Alfred Wegener published his hypotheses of plate tectonics that revolutionised the world for geologists. Since then, many scientists have studied the evolution of continents and especially the geologic structure of orogens: the most visible consequence of tectonic processes. Although the …

Identifying and Quantifying Personnel Skills Gaps
<p>One of the issues organizations face is identifying the required skills needed for a position and then evaluating whether their personnel have these skills or if there is a “skills gap”. The skills gap is the distance between the position requirements and the skills currently possessed by the …

Quantifying microbubble streaming and its applications
The growing interest in microfluidics in the last two decades has resulted in new and exciting ways in which to drive microfluidic flows. A simple and powerful flow actuation method involves the use of acoustically excited microbubbles. For ease of manufacture and flow control, setups have largely …
