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 ...
An optimization-based approach to image fusion using structural similarity
(2023-05-01)
This thesis examines a framework for solving optimization problems involving structural similarity index measure Mean. Image fusion involves combining multiple images to preserve their most desirable characteristics. The ...
Error estimation for single-image human body mesh reconstruction
(2023-05-01)
Human pose and shape estimation methods continue to suffer in situations where one or more parts of the body are occluded. More importantly, these methods cannot express when their predicted pose is incorrect. This has ...
Subgraph classification through neighborhood pooling
(2023-06-01)
Subgraph classification is an emerging field in graph representation learning where the task is to classify a group of nodes (i.e., a subgraph) within a graph. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are the de facto solution for ...
Depletion induced bundling of rod-like colloids and simulations of triple helix bundles
(2023-06-01)
We ran molecular dynamics simulations of rod-like colloids acting under depletion forces. In these simulations, we found bundling of the rods above a given strength of the depletion force. We then analyzed the bundle ...
TCP congestion control using reinforcement learning
(2022-10-01)
TCP, a transport layer protocol which ensures the reliable delivery of information on the network, is the basis of Internet connectivity, with 85% of the worlds Internet traffic being TCP based. TCP however, is slow to ...
A modular approach to image matting
(2022-11-01)
Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ...
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 ...
