Polymer translocation: a nonequilibrium process
(2017-04-07)
3D Langevin dynamics simulations of the capture and translocation of polymers
through a nanopore are conducted for several polymer lengths and two
different Péclet values (that quantify the drift-diffusion balance of the ...
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 ...
The transcription factor, fixK, plays a central role in carbon source metabolism and cellulose synthesis in Komagataeibacter species
(2017-07-01)
Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582 and K. hansenii ATCC 23769 are model bacterial cellulose producers. This thesis investigated both carbon source utilization and the role that a Crp/Fnr transcription factor, FixK, plays ...
Component-based modeling for Android application testing
(2017-04-01)
The rising popularity of Android and the component-based structure of its apps have
motivated the need for automated model-based testing techniques on Android plat-
form. Prior researches have primarily focused on the ...
An adaptive crowdsourced investigation of word abbreviation techniques for text visualizations
(2017-04-01)
A known problem in information visualization labeling is when the text is too long to fit
in the label space. There are some common known techniques used in order to solve this
problem like setting a very small font size. ...
Determining optimal flight paths for cellular network connectivity for the transmission of real-time physiological data in support of big data analytics during airborne critical care transport
(2017-02-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for determining the optimal flight paths between two geographical points based on distance and cellular reception over the path. This methodology consists of two main concepts: coverage ...
Vixen: a games user research tool for collection and interactive visualization of usertesting data
(2017-08-01)
Visualization techniques can facilitate the understanding and exploration of relationships in usertesting data. For example, data from players' in-game movement can be combined with interview data or questionnaire results. ...
Using consumer-grade brain-computer interface devices to capture and detect unaware facial recognitions
(2017-08-01)
The brain's natural reaction to viewing and processing faces in an aware manner
is an area of research that has been explored for previously, however the brain's
unaware reactions to these stimuli prove to be fairly less ...
Characterizing water-metal interfaces and machine learning potential energy surfaces
(2017-08-01)
In this thesis, we first discuss the fundamentals of ab initio electronic structure theory and density functional theory (DFT). We also discuss statistics related to computing thermodynamic averages of molecular dynamics ...
Analysing atomic structure in nano-scale imagery
(2017-01-01)
This thesis presents methods for both detecting atoms and reconstructing single layer molecular
geometry depicted within high resolution nanoscale imagery. Nanoscale imaging is a common
method of analysing molecular ...
