Impact of potato protein supplementation with dietary fermentable materials on immune measures in Sprague-Dawley rats
(2020-09-01)
Bacteria may influence the immune system by fermenting dietary fermentable materials (DFM) that resist digestion and reach the colon intact. This study investigated how resistant protein supplementation could affect the ...
Echo: reconstructing gameplay sessions for analysis
(2021-04-01)
We created Echo, a tool designed to help bridge the gap between game analytics and video footage analysis. Echo reconstructs gameplay sessions from recorded data and presents them with their original graphics. A comparative ...
Conductive Si doped metal oxide fuel cell catalyst supports: understanding the role of Si content
(2021-08-01)
Current proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalysts commonly use platinum supported on carbon (Pt/C) which is susceptible to corrosion, thus a highly conductive and stable Ti3O5 doped by Si (TOS) conductive metal ...
Characterizing blood plasma proteins from organ tissue in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using a non-targeted proteomics approach
(2021-12-01)
Protein expression patterns adapt to various cues to meet the needs of an organism. The dynamicity of an organism’s proteome can therefore reveal information about an organism’s health. Proteome databases contain limited ...
Implicit gaze interaction for information visualization
(2021-08-01)
This thesis presents a novel marker-free method for identifying screens of interest when using head-mounted eye-tracking for visualization in cluttered and multi-screen environments. The presented approach offers a solution ...
Determining the differences in effect of chromate, chromite and chromium picolinate in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at environmentally relevant concentrations
(2021-11-01)
The Ring of Fire is a region in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario that houses a rich deposit of chromite and is slated for mining development. The goals of this study were to better understand the relative effects ...
Refining adverse outcome pathways using Japanese Medaka Embryos (Oryzias latipes) exposed to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin
(2021-08-01)
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) are a framework that categorizes the impact of chemicals biologically from the initial molecular interaction through to the ecosystem level. This research aims to refine two existing AOPs ...
Evolutionary multi-objective design of autoencoder for compact representation of histopathology images
(2021-08-01)
Deep learning can cope with complex tasks; however, it suffers from the crucial problem of high dimensionality which makes it intractable to learn the patterns and classify the data. Importantly, having a fixed model cannot ...
Forensic electrochemistry: time since deposition (TSD) estimation of degrading bloodstains using differential pulse voltammetry
(2021-12-01)
Methods for bloodstain time since deposition (TSD) estimation are still in development. Hemoglobin (Hb) oxidative changes remain one of the primary means of bloodstain aging. This research explores the use of differential ...
Predictive analytics for maintenance activities in nuclear power plants: a feasibility study
(2021-12-01)
Nuclear power plants are known for their use of legacy systems and processes. As plants age, the amount of maintenance increases while resources remain finite, leading to unwanted delays, affecting the health of assets and ...
