complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. The resilient, ancient, and fine‐tuned DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has inspired many researchers to harness its power for material purposes. In this work, we use synthesized DNA strands to compute the solution to an instance of edge‐matching puzzles (EMP), where the challeng...

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented (AR) have been proposed as revolutionary applications for the next generation, especially in education. Many VR designed to promote learning via virtual environments 360° video. However, due strict requirements of end-to-end latency network bandwidth, numerous using video streaming may not achieve a high-quality experience. To address this issue, we propose re...

Experiments have demonstrated that DNA molecules can compute like a machine to solve mathematical problems, which is significant because of their parallel computation ability. However, due to the nature of biochemical reactions, DNA computation suffers from errors, which are its main limitation. The abstract and kinetic Tile Assembly Models are now commonly used to simulate real DNA computing e...

A new system of coordinates for the tilings {p, 3} and {p−2, 4}. Abstract In this paper, a new way to define coordinates for the tiles of the tilings {p, 3} and {p−2, 4} where the natural number p satisfies p ≥ 7 is investigated.

Optical Braille Recognition (OBR) system is computer software that automates the process of acquiring and processing images of Braille documents. It converts images of embossed Braille characters into their corresponding natural language characters. This involves few steps that include: Image Acquisition, Image pre-processing, segmentation, dot recognition and converting into computerized textu...

In this work, we apply nano-embossing technique to form a stagger structure in ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate [Pb(Zr0.3, Ti0.7)O3 (PZT)] films and investigate the ferroelectric and electrical characterizations of the embossed and un-embossed regions, respectively, of the same films by using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and Radiant Technologies Precision Material Analyzer. Attribu...

In this paper, we present a new technique based on feature localization for segmenting and tracking objects in videos. A video locale is a sequence of image feature locales that share similar features (color, texture, shape, and motion) in the spatiotemporal domain of videos. Image feature locales are grown from tiles (blocks of pixels) and can be non-disjoint and nonconnected. Intuitively, fea...

SKI is a Turing complete, language for programming in the aTAM model. A compilation technique provides a mapping from SKI into finite sets of DNA Tiles that self-assemble in the aTAM model. Though such sets are always finite, the number of Tiles may be relevant, the construction of the Tiles may be heavy and the self-assembly can produce wrong molecular growth. In this paper we discuss the cons...

Abstract. This investigation studies nonemptiness problems of plane square tiling. In the edge coloring (or Wang tiles) of a plane, unit squares with colored edges of p colors are arranged side by side such that adjacent tiles have the same colors. Given a set of Wang tiles B, the nonemptiness problem is to determine whether or not Σ(B) = ∅, where Σ(B) is the set of all global patterns on Z2 th...

In the era of Big Data, with the increasing use of large-scale datadriven applications, the visualization of very large high-resolution images and extracting useful information (searching for specific targets or rare signal events) from these images can pose challenges to the current video-wall display technologies. At Bellarmine University, we have set up an Advanced Visualization and Computat...
