Faulty node repair and dynamically spawned black hole search in clouds
(2015-03-01)
The reality of the constant emergence of new threats justifies the necessity to protect
network assets and mitigate the risks associated with attacks. In this context, eliminating faulty network entities in the distributed ...
An investigation of land-use impacts on water quality and phytoplankton communities of the Vermilion River and major tributaries, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
(2015-12-01)
The Vermilion River and major tributaries (VRMT) receive numerous inputs from point and non-point sources along their continuum. In addition to these inputs from the surrounding landscape, a hydroelectric impoundment and ...
Genetic analysis of cellulose crystallization in Gluconacetobacter xylinus
(2015-08-01)
In nature, polysaccharides, such as cellulose, are important biopolymers involved in numerous biological functions including prevention of cellular desiccation, energy storage, osmoregulation, and cell wall formation. Apart ...
Characterizing immunomodulatory activity of lactic acid bacteria on cell types involved in innate immunity: analysis of the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011-derived milk ferments on macrophage polarization and of secretome effects on intestinal epithelial cell cytokine production
(2015-07-01)
Probiotic lactic acid bacteria have been associated with a wide array of host-immune modulatory effects including down-regulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and expression following pro-inflammatory challenge, ...
Beyond the noise: an exploration of informative sound design in video games
(2015-08-01)
Informative sounds in video games are those that are played with a functional
purpose. These sounds are meant to inform the player of some change in the
state of the game, be it in their character’s status or something in ...
Cluster-based target tracking in vehicular ad hoc networks
(2015-01-01)
Recently Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications in enabling Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), including safe driving, ...
A location privacy model and framework for mobile toy computing
(2015-08-01)
Many toys on the market are becoming integrated with the sensory and networking capabilities of mobile technology. Toy computing is an emerging area of research with the characteristics of physical computing, services ...
Investigation of dye-sensitized solar cell performance with single chirality semiconducting carbon nanotubes
(2015-03-01)
In this work, the performance, electrical transport, and optical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of a single chirality in the photoanode were ...
Analysis of peptide production by Lactobacillus species and evaluation of their antihypertensive and immunomodulatory activities
(2015-08-01)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Canadian adults. Research has demonstrated an inverse relationship between the consumption of fermented dairy products and a decreased risk of CVD due to ...
First principles calculations of transition metal complexes for artificial photosynthesis
(2015-08-01)
Nanoscale devices using transition metals have shown promise in the renewable energy context for their robustness and scalability. In artificial photosynthetic devices, light harvesting molecules drive reactions which ...
