(2022-04-01)Recently, deep learning methods specifically generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been used to rapidly improve a wide range of image enhancement tasks including image inpainting and image resolution enhancement also ... -
Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2015-08-01)In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ... -
Genetic sun shadow positioning model for digital forensics
(2017-11-07)Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ... -
A geophysical and biochemical investigation of buried remains in contrasting soil textures in southern Ontario
(2010-08-01)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive, geophysical tool used for the detection of clandestine graves. GPR operates by detecting density differences in soil by the transmission of high frequency electromagnetic ... -
Getting comfortable in the zone with S3DComfortZone
(2017-07-01)This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization ... -
Gloss positioning for a gaze aware L2 reading aid
(2023-08-01)An important aspect of language learning is reading texts written in the learner’s second language (L2). However, reading can be a daunting task for language learners, as text may contain a large amount of unknown vocabulary. ... -
A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ... -
Graphene and graphane functionalization using hydrogen and nitrogen electronic optical and vibrational signatures
(2011-04-01)Hydrogen is added to Graphene in various compositions and configurations to modify the band structure to produce a suitable band gap for microelectronic applications. Optical and vibrational spectra are calculated as a ... -
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ... -
Growth, survivability, and reproductive effects of pulse-dosed endosulfan on jordanella floridae (florida flagfish) over one complete life-cycle
(2009-08-01)Endosulfan is a commonly used organochlorine in Durham Region, Ontario Canada which has known toxic effects on non-target organisms including fish. This research investigated the effects of endosulfan on Florida flagfish ... -
GURB : the game user research blueprint
(2016-08-01)With the rise of new platforms, distribution and crowdfunding services, the game industry is facing fast changes and advances in technology. Game development studios are under more pressure to create successful games due ... -
Hamming distance as a metric for the detection of side channel in 802.11 wireless communications
(2015-04-01)A wireless network can be exploited in many ways. One way is through intentionally corrupting the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field by using a different Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) polynomial in order to create a side ... -
A heart rate and skin response module for adaptive difficulty in virtual reality
(2022-09-01)Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming an ubiquitous technology currently being in many areas as it offers simulated realistic environments suitable for training. Despite the advances in VR technology, one-size-fits solutions ... -
I remember, at least I think I do : An investigation into emotional memories and our perception of them over time
(2019-12-01)Entertainment and emotions play a large part in the area of education and learning, however there is a lack of understanding in both the implementation of game-based learning and how this information changes over time. ... -
Identification and annotation of concurrency design patterns in Java source code using static analysis.
(2011-12-01)Concurrent software is quickly becoming a very important facet in Software Engineering due to numerous advantages, one of which is increased processing speed. Despite it's importance, concurrent software is fraught with ... -
