Parsing genetic models
(2022-01-01)
Applications of computer vision have seen great success recently, yet there are few approaches dealing with visual illustrations. We propose a collection of computer vision applications for parsing genetic models. Genetic ...
A big data and online health analytics framework extended to integrate clinical and countermeasure decision support
(2022-03-01)
Computing frameworks that utilize big data analytics to support Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have proven to impact human lives in applications on Earth and in space. In the application of Space Medicine Decision ...
Simulation and modelling to develop a nanopore-based device for ricin detection
(2022-08-01)
Nanopore-based protein detection represents an exciting opportunity to develop ultrasensitive diagnostic devices that are both portable and affordable. Aptamer-encoded nanopores detect target molecules by binding to them ...
Development of upper limb customized non- isomorphic VR interact ions for reaching, grabbing, and placing objects
(2022-08-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming adopted in education, training, and entertainment due to its growing affordability. The variability of user preferences and physical capabilities in VR requires configurable settings in ...
Investigating proteomic profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2022-08-01)
The Ontario Ring of Fire located in the James Bay Lowlands is a nickel rich ore with ongoing mining proposals. This raises the possibility of nickel contamination in one of Ontario’s most precious freshwater regions and ...
Aiding the experts: how artificial intelligence can augment expert evaluation with PathOS+
(2022-07-01)
Within games user research (GUR) predictive methods like expert evaluation are good for getting easy insights on a game in development but may not accurately reflect the player experience. On the other hand, experimental ...
Brønsted acid-catalyzed stereoselective allylation of exo-glycals with allyltrimethylsilane
(2022-08-01)
Quaternary stereocenter on carbohydrate scaffolds is an important motif due to its presence in natural products and biologically active compounds. However, the preparation of C,C-glycosides is a challenge, and to date, ...
Assessing nearshore water quality and biological condition in the Kawartha Lakes using a community science approach
(2022-08-01)
The Kawartha Lakes, located in south-central Ontario, are a popular tourist destination, with a growing permanent resident population. Consequently, land development in its watersheds continues, and the specific land-use ...
Discrete optimization of upgrade scheduling
(2022-08-01)
A primary objective of the mission to meet climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is to transition from fossil fuels to zero-emission energy. Fossil fuel production and transportation account for ...
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 ...
