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 ...
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. ...
Integrated traffic analysis and visualization for future road events
(2023-04-01)
The existing traffic simulation methods are limited to specific synthetic scenarios. In addition, the natural structure of traffic and accident data requires modeling the dependent observations on multiple levels. Therefore, ...
Transformer-based models for answer extraction in text-based question/answering
(2023-04-01)
The success of transformer-based language models has led to a surge of research in various natural language processing tasks, among which extractive question-answering/answer span detection, has received considerable ...
Metabolic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects of PFAAs and their mixtures on the proteome of plasma and head kidney from rainbow trout
(2023-03-01)
PFAAs (Perfluoroalkyl acids) are a class of bioaccumulative, persistent and ubiquitous aquatic contaminants. A paucity of toxicological information exists for short chain PFAAs and PFAA mixtures. In order to address these ...
Optimizing relational search with embedded neural network
(2023-04-01)
Our research focuses on a novel method to query relational data. We propose the partial tuple search problem where a user can utilize keyword search to explore complex relational datasets. The challenge of evaluation of ...
Performance assessment of Au SERS substrates prepared by deposition of Au nanoparticles on screen-printed SiO2 particle films
(2023-02-01)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly studied technique for simple and rapid trace analysis. Screen-printing, a low-cost fabrication method, has been proposed as a reproducible and affordable approach for ...
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 ...
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 ...
