Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networks
(2012-07-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood ...
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 ...
Arthropod successionin Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and compared development of protophormia terraenovae (R. -D.) from Beringia and the Great Lakes Region
(2012-07-01)
Forensic medicocriminal entomology is used in the estimation of post-mortem intervals in death investigations, by means of arthropod succession patterns and the development rates of individual insect species. The purpose ...
Impact of environmental conditions on expression levels of resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps and outer membrane porins in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2012-09-01)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a globally emerging Gram-negative pathogen accounting for a variety of nosocomial conditions, including pneumonia, meningitis, peritonitis, urinary tract infections and, in particular, wound ...
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)
Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Using Rabin-Karp fingerprints and LevelDB for faster searches
(2012-12-01)
This thesis represents the results of a study into using fingerprints generated according to the Rabin-Karp Algorithm, and a database LevelDB to achieve Text Search times below GREP, which is a standard command-line UNIX ...
