Playing is creating with PlayTIME: introducing and evaluating a tangible UI-based interactive scenario prototyping system
(2015-02-01)
With traditional game prototyping activities, physical and digital game prototyping
tasks are commonly separate, often requiring iteration between the two and different
personnel to complete physical and digital tasks. ...
Detection of side-channel communication in a mobile ad-hoc network environment using the Hamming distance metric
(2015-06-01)
Side-Channel communication is a form of traffic in which malicious parties communicate secretly over a wireless network. This is often established through the modification of Ethernet frame header fields, such as the Frame ...
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 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 ...
Characterizing immunomodulatory activity of lactic acid bacteria on cell types involved in innate immunity: analysis of the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011-derived milk ferments on macrophage polarization and of secretome effects on intestinal epithelial cell cytokine production
(2015-07-01)
Probiotic lactic acid bacteria have been associated with a wide array of host-immune modulatory effects including down-regulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and expression following pro-inflammatory challenge, ...
Beyond the noise: an exploration of informative sound design in video games
(2015-08-01)
Informative sounds in video games are those that are played with a functional
purpose. These sounds are meant to inform the player of some change in the
state of the game, be it in their character’s status or something in ...
Analysis of peptide production by Lactobacillus species and evaluation of their antihypertensive and immunomodulatory activities
(2015-08-01)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Canadian adults. Research has demonstrated an inverse relationship between the consumption of fermented dairy products and a decreased risk of CVD due to ...
First principles calculations of transition metal complexes for artificial photosynthesis
(2015-08-01)
Nanoscale devices using transition metals have shown promise in the renewable energy context for their robustness and scalability. In artificial photosynthetic devices, light harvesting molecules drive reactions which ...
A numerical study of the effects of inhomogeneous media in diffusion weighted imaging
(2015-07-01)
Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) -a common Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique - is used to infer material properties of tissues from the average diffusion of water molecules over brief time intervals. In particular, ...
Exploring global dynamics in a low order model of parallel shear flow
(2015-08-01)
The study of the onset of turbulence in the flow of fluids, which are governed by the
Navier-Stokes equations, has produced some famous instabilities e.g. Kelvin Helmholtz
instability. An important, and as of yet mysterious, ...
