Proximity-based systems: Incorporating mobility and scalability through proximity sensing
This thesis argues that the concept of spatial proximity offers a viable and practical option for the development of context-aware systems for highly mobile and dynamic environments. Such systems would overcome the shortcomings experienced by today’s location-based and infrastructure dependent …

In search of better proximity
… for answering nearest-neighbor queries on them. Proximity search is the problem of answering more general queries that need the first, second, or further closest neighbors of a query point, possibly in spaces where a separation function is defined which may be more general than a metric. In this …

Proximity coherence for chip-multiprocessors
… possible. This thesis explores such a design – Proximity Coherence – a novel scheme in which L1 load misses are optimistically forwarded to nearby caches via new dedicated links rather than always being indirected via a directory structure.

Transforming Point Data into Proximity Graphs
… is essential. Since the early 1980’s, proximity graphs have served as one of the classical approaches to characterize neighborhood relationships; the most popular proximity graphs include Delaunay Triangulation (DT), Gabriel graphs (GG), relative neighborhood graphs (RNG), and minimum …

Control of spacecraft in proximity orbits
… missions in which satellites operate in close proximity and their relative trajectories are critically important. Both classes of missions rely on accurate dynamics models for fuel minimization and observance of strict constraints for preventing collisions and achieving mission objectives. This …

PRIVACY PRESERVATION IN LOCATION-BASED PROXIMITY SERVICES
… is the notification of friends geographically in proximity. In addition to the privacy threats related to the use of traditional LBS, there are other privacy threats specific to proximity services. Existing privacy-preserving solutions for LBS are not effective or directly applicable. For this …

Composite Minimization: Proximity Algorithms and Their Applications
… equations that are formulated in terms of the proximity operators of the dual of the prox-friendly functions. By making use of the flexibility</p> <p>provided by this characterization, we develop a block Gauss-Seidel iterative scheme</p> <p>for finding a solution to the optimization problem and …

The transverse proximity effect in quasar spectra
… alpha forest of neutral hydrogen. This so-called proximity effect has been detected with high statistical significance towards luminous quasars. If quasars radiate rather isotropically, background quasar sightlines located near foreground quasars should show a region of decreased Lyman alpha …

Proximity Field Nanopatterning, Its Optics and Applications
New techniques for three dimensional (3D) nanopatterning have been an active field of research to comply demanding complex structures and nanoscale sizes of proposed ideas and potential applications; conventional photolithography and other nanopatterning methods are useful for some of them, still, …

Transport studies on proximity-coupled bismuth selenide
… on characterizing the transport properties of proximity-coupled 3D topological insulators. To do this, we fabricate Bi2Se3 Josephson junctions and subject devices to in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields. This allows us to probe and manipulate the superconducting states of Bi2Se3 and …

INTERACTOMICS FOR RICE FLOWERING: A PROXIMITY LABELLING APPROACH
… nel nostro laboratorio, abbiamo utilizzato il proximity labelling (PL) per esplorare le interazioni di Hd1 e FTL1 con altre proteine. Il PL si basa sulla fusione della TurboID (TbID), una biotin-ligasi ottimizzata, alla proteina di interesse con lo scopo di marcarne gli interattori in vivo. …

Constraining the UV background with the proximity effect
… forest. This phenomenon is known as the proximity effect and it is the main focus of this thesis. Modelling the influence on the IGM of the quasar radiation, one is able to determine the UV background intensity at a specific frequency (J_nu_0), or equivalently, its photoionisation rate …

Solid-phase combinatorial chemistry and scintillation proximity assays
The Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) is a method that is frequently used to detect and quantify the strength of intermolecular interactions between a biological receptor and ligand molecule in aqueous media. This thesis describes the synthesis of scintillant-tagged-compounds for application in a …
