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 ...
Stereoscopic depth axis interaction: A study of performance and engagement in stereoscopic 3D games.
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,

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 ...
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 ...
Investigation of an alternative sulfonated silane in ceramic carbon electrodes for fuel cell applications
(2015-09-01)
The fabrication of an ideal electrode material for fuel cell application that can maintain an
optimal water content in both low and high relative humidity (RH) conditions has been studied
by many research groups. Previous ...
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 ...
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 ...
Metal-free methodology for the preparation of ynones using potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates and its application to the synthesis of natural products
(2015-03-01)
A straightforward procedure for the preparation of ynones from potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts and acyl chlorides or anhydrides has been developed. The one-pot reaction is advantageous in that it does not require ...
RoboBUG: a game-based approach to learning debugging techniques
(2015-03-01)
Debugging is the systematic process of finding and fixing errors in a computer program, and it is considered a critical skill that should be acquired early in a programmer's career. As an alternative to traditional approaches ...
