Adaptive learning game to personalize occupational health and safety training
(2017-11-01)
In 2012, the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada recorded approximately a quarter-million workplace injuries, a staggering figure keeping in mind that some incidents go undocumented. It is important that ...
Identifying lesions in paediatric epilepsy using morphometric and textural analysis of magnetic resonance images
(2017-12-01)
We develop an image processing pipeline on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences to identify features of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) in patients with MRIvisible FCD. We aim to use a computer-aided diagnosis system ...
Endothelial cell response to bioactive peptides and stiffened extracellular matrices: an investigation into atherogenic pathways
(2017-08-01)
Endothelial dysfunction is the initiating step in atherosclerosis and leads to cardiovascular disease outcomes. This dysfunction can be mitigated by cardioprotective signaling molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) which can ...
Getting comfortable in the zone with S3DComfortZone
(2017-07-01)
This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization ...
Genetic sun shadow positioning model for digital forensics
(2017-11-07)
Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ...
An examination of interacting residues in the GABA-gated ion channel UNC-49 within the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2017-10-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals around the world, including those with significant economic importance such as cattle, sheep, and goats. UNC-49 is a GABA-gated ...
Determining optimal flight paths for cellular network connectivity for the transmission of real-time physiological data in support of big data analytics during airborne critical care transport
(2017-02-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for determining the optimal flight paths between two geographical points based on distance and cellular reception over the path. This methodology consists of two main concepts: coverage ...
Vixen: a games user research tool for collection and interactive visualization of usertesting data
(2017-08-01)
Visualization techniques can facilitate the understanding and exploration of relationships in usertesting data. For example, data from players' in-game movement can be combined with interview data or questionnaire results. ...
Characterizing water-metal interfaces and machine learning potential energy surfaces
(2017-08-01)
In this thesis, we first discuss the fundamentals of ab initio electronic structure theory and density functional theory (DFT). We also discuss statistics related to computing thermodynamic averages of molecular dynamics ...
Design and performance evaluation of data dissemination and hovering information protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs)
(2017-07-01)
Robust and efficient communication protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)
are still an open topic in the literature. Because of that, our attention has been gathered
by the Data Dissemination and the Information ...
