Improved 3D modelling of CANDU reactors using transport-fitted diffusion coefficients
(2016-12-01)
To model the neutronic physics behavior of the core in CANDU pressure tube type heavy water reactors with natural-uranium fuel, two levels of calculations are required. Initially, lattice-level transport calculations are ...
Mathematical methods for 2D-3D cardiac image registration
(2016-12-01)
We propose a mathematical formulation aimed at intensity-based slice-to-volume registration,
aligning a cross-sectional slice of a 3D volume to a 2D image. The approach is
flexible and can accommodate various regularization ...
Characterization of nanopores with internal cavities for DNA manipulation using Langevin dynamics simulations
(2016-12-01)
A novel nanopore geometry is proposed, in which a larger internal cavity is
located inside a traditional nanopore. Polymer translocation through this geometry
is studied using coarse-grained Langevin dynamics. The most ...
Direct Brønsted acid-catalyzed functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols and 2-ethoxytetrahydrofuran using potassium trifluoroborate salts
(2016-06-01)
Metal-free transformations of organotrifluoroborates are advantageous since they avoid using frequently expensive and sensitive transition metals. Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions involving organotrifluoroborates have emerged ...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis as a predictor of fish health and energy content in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2016-12-14)
Assessing the health of a fish is an essential part to aquaculture and fish research. This is traditionally done by measuring body content using bomb calorimetry or proximate composition analysis; however, both of these ...
Examination of intramolecular interactions between residues of the cys-loop GABA receptor Hco-UNC-49 from Haemonchus contortus
(2016-01-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode known to infect ruminant animals such as sheep, goats and cattle. Despite several different anthelmintic drugs available to control the spread of this infection, H. contortus ...
Detecting vulnerabilities of broadcast receivers in Android applications
(2016-01-01)
As being a representative mobile operating system in the world, Android OS has been part of users' daily life. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of Android third-markets introduces malware aiming at Android applications ...
A dynamic visual analytics framework for complex temporal environments
(2016-08-01)
Introduction: Data streams are produced by sensors that sample an external system at a periodic interval. As the cost of developing sensors continues to fall, an increasing number of data stream acquisition systems have ...
Alloy catalysts for fuel cell-based alcohol sensors
(2016-05-01)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) are attractive from both economic and environmental standpoints for generating renewable energy and powering vehicles and portable electronic devices. The cost and performance of the DEFCs ...
Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
(2016-12-01)
Dietary interventions vary in ability to influence immune activity. Separate investigations were conducted to determine the immune impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials (DFM) and high energy (HE) ...
