Object-centric temporal navigation for dynamic information visualizations.
(2014-08-01)We introduce object-centric temporal navigation for time-varying information visualizations. In our approach, navigation through time is controlled by interacting directly with any data item, enabling simultaneous exploration ... -
OLSR-based network discovery in situational awareness system for tactical MANETs
(2012-01-01)In this thesis, we propose a high level design for connectivity visualization of OLSRbased MANET topology based on local topology databases available in an OLSR node. Two different scenarios are considered: a central ... -
On deep learning in physics
(2021-04-01)Machine learning, and most notably deep neural networks, have seen unprecedented success in recent years due to their ability to learn complex nonlinear mappings by ingesting large amounts of data through the process of ... -
On matrix-free pseudo-arclength continuation methods applied to a nonlocal partial differential equation in 1+1D with pseudo-spectral time-stepping
(2013-08-01)In this thesis we examine a recent animal aggregation model which describes the evolution of two populations of animals moving on a 1-dimensional spatial domain differing only by the direction they travel. The equations ... -
On the integration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport analysis
(2009-12-01)Numerous scenarios exist whereby radioactive particulates are transported between spatially separated points of interest. An example of this phenomenon is, in the aftermath of a Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) ... -
On the potential of intent-based access control (IBAC) in preventing insider threats
(2015-11-01)Existing access control mechanisms are based on the concepts of identity enrollment and recognition, and assume that recognized identity is synonymous with ethical actions. However, statistics over the years show that the ... -
One-dimensional single phase natural circulation model of FLiNaK in Molten Salt Loop
(2019-04-01)This work studied a coolant for a molten salt type reactor in terms of a natural circulation behavior. A natural circulation model using MATLAB was developed. This model is for the Molten Salt Loop currently under development ... -
The one-week prevalence of neck and low back pain and the association with moderate to extremely severe symptoms of anxiety in university students
(2022-08-01)Objectives: To determine the one-week prevalence of neck and low back pain in undergraduate students, and the association between neck and low back pain and symptoms of anxiety. Methods: Cross-sectional study in the ... -
The online identity development of Indo-Caribbean women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
(2022-04-01)The severe lack of systematically collected race-based data in Canada contributes to the Canadian field of education’s failure to meet the needs of its increasingly diverse demographic of students, resulting in their ... -
An Online System for Visualizing UOIT Class Schedules
(2021-06-02)The objective of this thesis is to design a system that will enable users to visualize aspects of a schedule so that the information can be interpreted in a meaningful way. The concept of visualizing data has allowed many ... -
An openflow-based wireless user management system
(2016-01-01)The degradation of the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) on wireless users is becoming a common issue for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure-based networks in crowded areas. In response, network providers usually increase coverage ... -
Operationalizing the spatial influence of the risk factors behind the open-air drug markets in Durham region
(2015-08-01)The social cost of illegal drugs has reached a very high point both in Canada and around the world. The efforts to control the global flow of illegal drugs have not achieved to compensate these costs. This thesis examines ... -
Opportunities for the deep neural network method of solving partial differential equations in the computational study of biomolecules driven through periodic geometries
(2022-08-01)As deep learning emerged in the 2010s to become a groundbreaking technology in machine vision and natural language processing, it also ushered in many new algorithms for use in scientific research. Among these is the neural ... -
Optimal farm design with parabolic shape photovoltaic panels using multi-objective optimization
(2015-04-01)To acquire the maximum efficiency for solar electricity conversion, a solar panel has to absorb nearly every single photon of light emitted from the sun. The shape of the solar panel itself plays an important role in ... -
Optimal planning and operation of CHP within micro energy grids
(2016-04-01)In this study, an optimal planning with respect to capacity sizes and types of prime movers for CHP systems within micro energy grids has been discussed. The objective is to minimize the total net present cost, carbon ... -
Optimal power minimization in two-way relay network with imperfect channel state information
