A heart rate and skin response module for adaptive difficulty in virtual reality
(2022-09-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming an ubiquitous technology currently being in many areas as it offers simulated realistic environments suitable for training. Despite the advances in VR technology, one-size-fits solutions ...
A nonlinear and nonlocal model for animal aggregation
(2022-09-01)
An aggregation model is a kind of model used to show the dynamics of the distribution of the population of organisms. Mathematically, we can use a partial differential equation to model the density of an organism at different ...
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)
Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ...
MAVIDS: an intelligent intrusion detection system for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles
(2021-07-01)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) face a large threat landscape, being used in numerous industries in hostile environments while relying on wireless communication. As attacks against UAVs increase, an intelligent Intrusion ...
Unified processing of natural language and relational data
(2022-09-01)
This work outlines a method for performing natural language tasks as part of a relational framework. Utilizing features of PostgreSQL as a relational database and its extensibility to allow for word embedding without leaving ...
Synthesis, characterization and biological investigation of self-delivering and modified short interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
(2021-07-01)
Aberrant gene expression is a hallmark of disease, so it is of great interest to develop targeted therapies that provide a means to regulate gene expression. The RNA interference pathway serves as a natural defense system ...
Agent-based modeling framework for adaptive cyber defence of the Internet of Things
(2022-12-01)
The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to increase significantly, introducing unique challenges and threats to cybersecurity. In parallel, adaptive and autonomous cyber defence has become an emerging research ...
Molecular dynamics simulations and neural network solutions for applications in biophysics
(2022-12-01)
As computing resources evolved and became more accessible over time, much of scientific research shifted towards utilizing computational techniques. In particular, biophysics is a field of science that has continually ...
Virtual machine detection through Central Processing Unit (CPU) detail anomalies
(2022-12-01)
Malware analysts commonly use virtual machines to provide safe environments to study malware. Malware authors in response, include virtual machine detection functions in their malware so it changes its behavior should a ...
Investigation into potential Dirofilaria immitis drug targets through rational anthelmintic synthesis and design
(2022-04-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a mosquito-transmitted parasitic nematode that can cause debilitating disease in dogs. D. immitis is present in Canada and over the years has increased in prevalence due to several factors including ...
