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 ...
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 ...
Characterization of xylan degradation systems in streptomyces
(2012-07-01)
Plant biomass serves as a carbon and energy source for Streptomyces spp. which
secrete degradative enzymes capable of breaking down the complex plant biomass into
simple saccharides. Hemicellulose is a major component of ...
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 ...
Pourbaix diagrams at elevated temperatures: a study of Zn and Sn
(2012-08-01)
Metals in industrial settings such as power plants are often subjected to high
temperature and pressure aqueous environments, where failure to control corrosion
compromises worker and environment safety. For instance, ...
Predicting mutation score using source code and test suite metrics
(2012-09-01)
Mutation testing has traditionally been used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites
and provide con dence in the testing process. Mutation testing involves the creation of
many versions of a program each with a single ...
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 ...
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 ...
Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
(2012-12-01)
In this study we investigate the
flow of a Boussinesq
fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ...
