Investigation of the Magnetic Properties of Non-Thiolated Au Nano-Structures Grown by Laser Ablation
… magnetism in Au NPs, and magnetism may be an intrinsic property for nano-structured gold. For this investigation, we used pulsed laser deposition to prepare nano-structured gold of different sizes and concentrations to investigate the magnetic properties. Our experiment results confirmed that …

Transmembrane Signaling in Bacillus Subtilis Chemotaxis: Determination of the Packing Organization and Structural Changes of McpB in Response to Ligand
… the hypersensitive receptor transition is an intrinsic property of receptors which is independent of ""receptor clustering"" or CheB phosphorylation."

Random close packing (RCP) of equal spheres: structure and implications for use as a model porous medium
… that drainage-imbibition hysteresis is not an intrinsic property of the individual pore. The nature and degree of randomness which characterises the Finney packing is evaluated on two levels. First, by classifying edgelengths as either short or long, seven mutually exclusive cell classes are …

Urban scene parsing via low-rank texture patches
… facades contain low-rank textures, which are an intrinsic property of the scene and invariant to viewpoint. The pipeline uses these low-rank patches to automatically rectify images and detect and segment out the patches with an energy-minimizing graph cut. The output is then further parameterized …

Function, localization and regulation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa diguanylate cyclase response regulator WspR
… Cluster formation appears to be an intrinsic property of WspR. Analysis of six single amino acid variants of WspR show that the formation of WspR-P subcellular clusters is important for potentiating the diguanylate cyclase activity of WspR, making it more active in c-di-GMP …

Seismic reflection moveout for azimuthally anisotropic media
Anisotropy can exist in the subsurface as an intrinsic property, or as an induced property, or as a combination of both. Induced anisotropy can result due to preferred orientation of grains, thin layering, and/or the presence of fractures. In this thesis, we study the reflection moveout for …

Understanding the origins of metastability in thin film growth; tantalum and the early group VB-VIB metals
… frequently measured for ss-Ta are not an intrinsic property.

A Behavior-based Approach Towards Statistics-Preserving Network Trace Anonymization
… maximization of this anonymity metric is an intrinsic property of the solution. Algorithms that guarantee a minimum anonymity-set size are presented, as well as novel techniques for behavior visualization and compression. Empirical evaluations on a range of network traffic datasets show …

Error propagation in pattern recognition systems: Impact of quality on fingerprint categorization
… categorization. Quality is defined not as an intrinsic property of the image, but rather in terms of a set of defects introduced to it. A number of fingerprint images have been examined and the important quality defects have been identified and modeled in a mathematically tractable way. The …

Programming of wicking behavior of hydrogel and paper-based microfluidic device
… and spontaneous fluid transport based on an intrinsic property of material. Recent developments have rapidly increased the analytical capacity and complexity of μPADs through structural enhancements and flow control techniques. In doing so, novel wicking material such as hydrogel is …

Unsteadiness in shock-wave/boundary layer interactions
… is not necessarily a property of the forcing, either from upstream<br/>or downstream of the shock, but simply an intrinsic property of the coupled dynamical<br/>system.

General linear cameras : theory and applications
… to the choice of parametrization, and, thus, an intrinsic property of the reflecting surface. Using GLCs to analyze the caustics of reflection extends the previous Jacobian-based approaches, which consider only a pinhole model at each infinitesimal region about each surface point. Finally, I …

Prediction of Microstructural and Conformational Evolutions through Application of Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics
… SEAQT framework defines entropy in terms of an intrinsic property associated with the energy spectrum of a modeled system, namely degeneracy. The degeneracy, or density of states, is the number of unique system configurations for a given energy level. Calculating this quantity is often …

Deconvolution of Leukemic Evolution Through Initiation, Progression and Relapse
… is acquired following treatment or is an intrinsic property of pre-existing cells. Using paired diagnosis and relapse patient samples in combined genomic and functional assays, we determine that minor ancestral clones present at diagnosis display decreased therapeutic response and are thus …

Localized Feature Selection For Unsupervised Learning
… invalid in clustering practice, where the local intrinsic property of data matters more, which implies that localized feature selection is more desirable.</p> <p> In this dissertation, we focus on cluster-wise feature selection for unsupervised learning. We first propose a Cross-Projection method …

Japanese gapping in minimalist syntax
… copying lexical items in a numeration due to its intrinsic property of reduplicating items. This operation is called AND-Copy. AND-Copy targets particular lexical items in the numeration and creates phonologically null copies, following principles of economy. Thus, under the proposed analysis the …

Thermoelectric properties of carbon nanotube films
… devices. The Seebeck coefficient is a intrinsic property of a thermoelectric material that correlates the voltage produced by a conductor and the temperature gradient applied to it. To measure the Seebeck coefficient of films, an experimental set-up was fabricated and calibrated using …

Project complexity and how to effectively measure complexity in projects: the case of a refuelling outage in a nuclear power generating plant
… complexity considers complexity as an intrinsic property of a system. Perceived complexity considers complexity as subjective, since the complexity of a system is understood through the perception of an observer and both approaches can coexist. There are vital layers of complexity such …

The neural and psychophysical bases of memorability
… thus, memorability can be conceptualized as an intrinsic property to whole entities. I then compare memorability to several phenomena shown to influence memory - bottom-up attention, top-down attention, and priming - and find that memorability effects remain independent of these phenomena …

Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Cobalt and Europium Implanted ZnO Thin Film
… materials with a wide band-gap. However, the intrinsic room temperature ferromagnetic spintronics materials are still far to be optimized. In this dissertation, the samples were prepared by using metal vacuum vapour arc (MEVVA) source ion implantation of cobalt and europium into ZnO/c-Al2O3 …
