I remember, at least I think I do : An investigation into emotional memories and our perception of them over time
(2019-12-01)
Entertainment and emotions play a large part in the area of education and learning, however there is a lack of understanding in both the implementation of game-based learning and how this information changes over time. ...
Using machine learning methods to aid scientists in laboratory environments
(2019-12-01)
As machine learning gains popularity as a scientific instrument, we look to create methods to implement it as a laboratory tool for researchers. In the first of two projects, we discuss creating a real-time interference ...
Autism Serious Game Framework (ASGF) for Developing Games for Children with Autism
(2019-12-01)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and interaction, and by restricted, repetitive interests and behaviours. The mean clinical age of diagnosis is still four to five years, ...
Structure guided image restoration : a deep learning approach
(2019-05-01)
Image restoration aims at recovery of degraded images and estimating the original. Over the past few years, computer vision research has been dominated by deep learning techniques in part due to advances in computing ...
Response of Stomoxys calcitrans and Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) to Volatile Organic Compound Profiles from Ontario, Canada Dairy Farms
(2019-09-01)
Stomoxys calcitrans are significant pests of dairy and beef cattle livestock facilities. Their seasonal abundance causes damage to the industry in the United States. While similar damage has been documented in Canada, the ...
Perpetually playing physics
(2019-08-01)
Here we discuss ideas of reinforcement learning and the importance of various aspects of it. We show how reinforcement learning methods based on genetic algorithms can be used to reproduce thermodynamic cycles without prior ...
Spring Stepper: a makerspace controller for seated hands-free locomotion in virtual reality
(2019-12-01)
Natural locomotion is crucial for improving presence in a virtual environment (VE), while also reducing simulator sickness. While research in various areas of virtual reality (VR), such as head-mounted displays (HMD) and ...
Supporting student success with machine learning and visual analytics
(2019-08-01)
Post secondary institutions have a wealth of student data at their disposal. This data has recently been used to explore a problem that has been prevalent in the education domain for decades. Student retention is a complex ...
The Functionalization of Magnetic Fe3O4@TiO2 by Molecular Motif for the Detection of Mercury (II)
(2019-07-01)
2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine (L) molecular receptor showed strong potential for Hg2+ detection. The chelation through S,N,S was confirmed as a main binding mode of the ligand with Hg2+ ion based on the results of 1H NMR. L ...
Nanostructured carbon-based materials for electrochemical applications
(2019-12-01)
Mesoporous carbons have been widely studied due to the relevance of these materials for applications in energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells), mainly due to their high surface ...
