Predicting mobile application power consumption
(2018-05-01)
We present an analysis of battery consumption to predict the average consumption rate of any given application. We explain the process and techniques used to gather the data, and present over 25000 readings collected over ...
Multi-character prediction using attention
(2020-01-01)
We propose a computational attention approach to localize and classify characters in a sequence in a given image. Our approach combines spatial soft-attention with attention regularization and learns “where-to-look” to ...
The effects of stereoscopic 3D on an incidence response training game
(2013-08-01)
A critical incident is defined as one of the most serious situations that
can occur at any institution. Among these critical incidents are fire
hazards, which resulted in 224 civilian deaths, and approximately 1.5$
billion ...
Physical and chemical analysis of pig carcass decomposition in a fine sand
(2010-08-01)
The development and improvement of methods used for the estimation of the
postmortem interval (PMI) is a common area of research in forensic science. This
research was conducted to physically and chemically analyze pig ...
Developing effective virtual simulations and serious games: the effect of background sound cues on visual quality perception
(2012-08-01)
Virtual simulations and serious games (video game-based technologies applied to
teaching and learning) have been incorporated in the teaching and training curricula of a
large number of professions including medicine/surgery. ...
Effects of endosulfan on human MCF-7 breast cancer cells
(2011-08-01)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCs) are environmental toxicants with important links to human health. They have been found to activate signalling pathways within cells and thereby affect cell survival and proliferation. Receptor ...
Do extroverts create stronger passwords?
(2018-04-01)
We investigate the relationship between personality types and the strength of created and
selected passwords. For this purpose, we conducted an experiment on Amazon’s Mechanical
Turk, with 510 participants. Participants ...
Adaptive learning game to personalize occupational health and safety training
(2017-11-01)
In 2012, the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada recorded approximately a quarter-million workplace injuries, a staggering figure keeping in mind that some incidents go undocumented. It is important that ...
Topic models for image localization
(2013-08-01)
We present a new scheme for partitioning geo-tagged reference image database in an effort
to speed up query image localization while maintaining acceptable localization accuracy. Our
method learns a topic model over the ...
Investigation into smoothed particle hydrodynamics for non-newtonian droplet modelling
(2011-08-01)
Droplet splatter dynamics is an important study in the field of forensics since a crime
event can produce many blood stains. Understanding the origins of the blood stains
from pure observations is very difficult because ...
