Pourbaix diagrams at elevated temperatures: a study of Zn and Sn
(2012-08-01)
Metals in industrial settings such as power plants are often subjected to high
temperature and pressure aqueous environments, where failure to control corrosion
compromises worker and environment safety. For instance, ...
Predicting mutation score using source code and test suite metrics
(2012-09-01)
Mutation testing has traditionally been used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites
and provide con dence in the testing process. Mutation testing involves the creation of
many versions of a program each with a single ...
A variational approach to mapping: an exploration of map representation for SLAM
(2012-07-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are used
by autonomous robots to build or update maps of an environment while
maintaining their position simultaneously. A fundamental open problem
in SLAM is the e ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Detection of gasoline from internal tissues for use in determining victim status at the time of a fire
(2012-08-01)
In Ontario, fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) are responsible for determining the origin and cause of suspicious fires. As part of the investigation, fire debris samples are collected from the ...
Computational and laboratory investigations of a model of blood droplet flight for forensic applications
(2012-09-01)
We present a three-dimensional, forward model of blood droplets in
ight. The proposed
model is based on a set of ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) incorporating viscous
drag and gravitational forces. We validate the ...
Synthesis of internal amide bond short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and investigation of their gene silencing properties
(2012-10-01)
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for around 13% of all death [1]. Traditional cancer therapeutics usually require careful selection of one or more intervention, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and ...
Total knee replacement serious game for surgical education and training
(2012-08-01)
Traditionally, orthopaedic surgical training has primarily taken place in the
operating room. Given the growing trend of decreasing resident work hours in
North America and globally due to political mandate, training time ...
Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
(2012-12-01)
In this study we investigate the
flow of a Boussinesq
fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ...
Spatial sound and sound localization on a horizontal surface for use with interactive surface (tabletop) computers
(2012-08-01)
Tabletop computers (also known as surface computers, smart tables, and
interactive surface computers) have been growing in popularity for the last decade
and are poised to make in-roads into the consumer market, opening ...
