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 ...
Investigating proteomic profiles of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) kidney and liver tissues exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2023-08-01)
Nickel has become a component of natural freshwater that may pose serious ecological risks to aquatic wildlife. Due to Canada’s significant presence in producing and exporting nickel, the country has the opportunity to ...
Gloss positioning for a gaze aware L2 reading aid
(2023-08-01)
An important aspect of language learning is reading texts written in the learner’s second language (L2). However, reading can be a daunting task for language learners, as text may contain a large amount of unknown vocabulary. ...
An investigation into the use of ConvNext within IICS/IIDS framework for person Re-ID
(2023-05-01)
In this thesis, we explore the integration of ConvNeXt, a CNN-based network inspired by vision transformers, into the Intra and Inter Camera Similarity (IICS) and Intra and Inter Domain Similarity (IIDS) frameworks for ...
Identification and characterization novel of cystine-loop ligand- gated chloride channels from Dirofilaria immitis: pharmacological analysis and novel compound screening
(2023-12-01)
Dirofilaria immitis, otherwise known as heartworm, is a parasite that infects the hearts of dogs and causes serious health consequences. While preventative treatments are available drug resistance is developing at an ...
Leveraging vehicular cloud computing through location and request prediction
(2023-04-01)
In recent years, the implementation of Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANET) has been acknowledged as a promising solution for monitoring road conditions. Despite the many benefits they can bring to society, the growing demand ...
Towards deep learning models for automatic computer program grading
(2023-04-01)
Automatic grading of computer programs has a great impact on both computer science education and the software industry as it saves human evaluators a tremendous amount of time required for assessing programs. However, to ...
Scalable subgraph representation learning through simplification
(2023-06-01)
Link prediction on graphs is a fundamental problem. Subgraph representation learning approaches (SGRLs), by transforming link prediction to graph classification on the subgraphs around the links, have achieved state-of-the-art ...
Comparing the effects of traditional, VR, and custom-made input devices on usability, cognitive load, and presence on virtual laparoscopic tasks : investigating the potential of low-cost, consumer-level VR technology for medical simulation and training through laparoscopy simulation
(2023-12-01)
Digital simulators are essential in medical education, allowing to train procedures that are otherwise impossible or difficult to recreate in real life. Laparoscopy training, a procedure that allows a surgeon to access the ...
Free methionine sulfoxide reductase and its contributions to environmental stress response in Komagataeibacter hansenii
(2023-12-01)
Komagataeibacter hansenii (ATCC 23769) is a non-virulent acetic acid bacterium that forms cellulosic biofilms at the air-liquid interface of liquid media, serving as a model for biofilm forming pathogenic bacteria. In this ...
