E-fencing detection: mining online classified ad websites for stolen property.
(2014-09-01)With the emergence of e-fencing, there presents a need to automate both the detection of ads selling stolen property and the reporting process for victims. This thesis presents a framework that dynamically retrieves and ... -
Early detection of cyber-physical attacks in electric vehicles fast charging stations using machine learning
(2021-08-01)In smart grids, the concept of “vehicle-to-grid” allows the electric vehicles to export power to the grid to support the electric utilities in the power distribution system’s operation. The implementation of such a concept ... -
Easy skins, easy life: a chronological case study of loot boxes and transferable cosmetic items in the video game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
(2022-12-01)Video game publishers have continually developed novel methods of maximizing revenues from video game titles. Modern gaming customarily involves paid downloadable content that further monetizes a base game. Loot boxes, ... -
Echo: reconstructing gameplay sessions for analysis
(2021-04-01)We created Echo, a tool designed to help bridge the gap between game analytics and video footage analysis. Echo reconstructs gameplay sessions from recorded data and presents them with their original graphics. A comparative ... -
The ecotoxicological effects of metformin and its metabolite, guanylurea, on Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(2018-08-01)Human pharmaceutical waste threatens many natural processes of non-target aquatic organisms, through the introduction of such contaminants into the environment. Pharmaceuticals are a large and diverse groups of medicinal ... -
Educating students about mental illness: ethnic students' perspective of the effectiveness of a web-based educational tool
(2012-04-01)Rationale: Mental health (MH) issues are increasing on post-secondary campuses particularly with ethnic students. This study aimed to establish the effectiveness of web-based MH education. Methods: A three-phase design was ... -
Educators’ insights on utilizing iPads to meet kindergarten goals
(2017)This study investigates how educators plan and review the integration of iPads to meet Early Learning Kindergarten curriculum goals across the four newly-established domains of the Ontario Kindergarten Curriculum. The ... -
Effect of an emotional situation on decision recipients' and decision makers' justice appraisals.
(2013-09-01)Previous procedural and distributive justice theories have not accounted for the vivid and emotionally compelling situations in which people often make justice judgments. In this study I investigated whether previous theory ... -
The effect of atlanto-occipital manipulation on neck and shoulder proprioception and range of motion: a randomized controlled trial
(2021-12-01)Long-term neck pain is associated to maladaptive neuroplastic alterations in the brain, that affect head and neck proprioception. The One to Zero (OTZ) tension technique aims to correct dysfunction between the occiput (C0) ... -
The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
(2021-10-01)A significant amount of research focus has been dedicated to physical and mental fatigue individually, but their combined effects on physical performance are relatively underexplored. As such, the purpose of this pilot ... -
Effect of copper contamination at the cathode in Cu-Cl electrolyzers for hydrogen production
(2020-04-01)In this work the effects of copper contamination on the coulombic and voltage efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via the Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle are investigated. A novel proton pump configuration was ... -
Effect of cutting tool microgeometry when milling hardened steels, a finite element simulation and surface integrity analysis
(2021-01-01)This research work presents a 3D finite element model for the milling of hardened steels. The model was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software and the Lagrangian approach was utilized. Experimental milling tests were ... -
Effect of diameter ratios on the flow-sound interaction of the straight circular finned cylinders
(2020-01-01)Finned tubes that are widely used in heat exchangers could be susceptible to the flow-excited acoustic resonance that generates intense pressure fluctuations, which may lead to premature fatigue failure of the tubes. This ... -
The effect of experimental pain on motor training performance and sensorimotor integration
(2012-07-01)Sensorimotor integration (SMI) is the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to integrate afferent (incoming) information from different body parts and formulate appropriate motor output to muscles. Effective sensorimotor ... -
The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
(2017-04-01)This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we ... -
The effect of hand dominance on manual arm strength
(2021-11-01)In the design of manual work tasks, considering task demands in the context of human strength capability has been vital to assessing workplace musculoskeletal injury risk. This is particularly true for the upper extremities, ... -
The effect of high dose rate on tissue equivalent proportional counter measurements in mixed neutron-gamma fields
(2010-04-01)Tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPCs) are commonly used for radiation monitoring in areas where a mixture of neutron and photon radiations may be present, such as those commonly encountered in nuclear power plants. ... -
Effect of iron content on electrodeposited Fe-MnOx catalysts for water oxidation
(2018-04-01)MnOx materials are earth-abundant and known to be efficient catalysts for the water oxidation reaction (WOR). I present the exploration of an optimal method of cathodically electrodepositing MnOx catalysts on an FTO ... -
The effect of language proficiency on second-language lie detection.
(2013-10-01)I examined whether observers’ own language proficiencies would affect their lie detection judgments. In a previous study, native- and second-language English speakers were videotaped as they either lied or told the truth ... -
