Lexichrome: Text Construction and Lexical Discovery with Word-Color Associations Using Interactive Visualization
(ACM, 2020-07-03)Based on word-color associations from a comprehensive, crowdsourced lexicon, we present Lexichrome: a web application that explores the popular perception of relationships between English words and eleven basic color terms ... -
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ... -
Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ... -
Life with HIV in a suburban community: an exploration of experiences pertaining to health and social care service access
(2017-03-01)Literature examines HIV within urban or rural contexts; the suburban gradient is not sufficiently described, despite how an overwhelming proportion of Canadians live in this form of community. This inquiry investigated how ... -
Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting
(2021-11-01)Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ... -
Linear synchronous motor based propulsion for the futuristic hyperloop transportation system
(2022-02-01)Current trends are leading towards an electrified future of transportation. Its popularity amongst the public is continuously increasing this trend. Today, the demands for an economical, carbon conscience and faster mode ... -
Local dose coefficients for radionuclide contamination in wounds
(2020-05-01)The objective of this research is to create local dose coefficients for radionuclide contaminated wounds to accompany dose coefficients obtained by Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education looking at whole body effects ... -
Localization of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2017-06-01)This thesis discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and ... -
A location privacy model and framework for mobile toy computing
(2015-08-01)Many toys on the market are becoming integrated with the sensory and networking capabilities of mobile technology. Toy computing is an emerging area of research with the characteristics of physical computing, services ... -
A longitudinal analysis of the chiropractic profession from 1996 to 2007
(2018-01-01)Aim: To explore the relative attractiveness of chiropractic in Ontario, Canada from 1996-2007. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study using administrative registration data from 1996-2007. Stickiness and Inflow ... -
A lot of these things nobody talks about: South Asian Muslims' perceptions of dating behaviours and abuse
(2011-07-01)The unique meanings people of varying cultures and religions assign to dating behaviours/abuse along with the context in which these meanings are created are largely neglected in dating abuse research. Applying intersectionality, ... -
Low complexity multicast beamforming in massive MIMO multi-cell networks
(2018-08-01)In this thesis, we consider downlink multicast beamforming in massive multi-input multi- output (MIMO) multi-cell networks. Both non-cooperative and cooperative beamforming scenarios are considered. For the non-cooperative ... -
Low energy photon mimic of the tritium beta decay energy spectrum
(2013-04-01)Tritium is a radioactive hydrogen isotope that is typically produced via neutron interaction with heavy water (D2O), producing tritiated water (DTO). As a result of this, tritium accounts for roughly a third of all ... -
A low-fidelity serious game authoring tool and educational network to facilitate medical-based cultural competence education
(2015-12-01)Here I present Fydlyty, a web-based, low-fidelity serious game for medical-based cultural competence education and training. Fydlyty includes a scenario editor and dialogue editor which has the ability to build conversations, ... -
Machine learning classification techniques for non-intrusive load monitoring
(2016-10-01)Non-intrusive load monitoring is the concept of determining the operational loads using single-point sensing. The features contained within the electrical load’s signal are used to identify a unique signature which is ... -
Machine learning classifiers for critical cardiac conditions
(2016-04-01)Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Current methods of diagnosing cardiac conditions require a manual and visual analysis of ECG and heart rate (RR interval) data. In this thesis, novel ... -
Magic Pen: automatic pen-mode switching for document annotation
(2022-08-01)Traditional digital pen interfaces use menu buttons to change pen modes, resulting in time and cognitive load spent on round-trips and potential errors from tapping small mode selection buttons. This thesis presents Magic ... -
