Assessing the use of DNA expert evidence, by justice system participants, in Ontario criminal courts
(2017-08-01)
What happens to forensic DNA opinion evidence when the expert witness is not present in the courtroom? Research addressing this issue has largely been focused on polling lawyers regarding their perceptions of DNA evidence, ...
Towards secure and privacy preserving e-health data exchanges through consent based access control
(2017-09-01)
How we administer healthcare continues to evolve alongside the advancement of information technology. As we become more connected, the Internet of Things and our want to share information in a timely manner encourage us ...
Modeling mobility patterns
(2017-11-01)
This work focuses on analysis and model generation for user mobility patterns given a sequence of observed WiFi signals. Built on the Android platform, the data collection mobile application gathers WiFi sensor readings ...
Using consumer-grade brain-computer interface devices to capture and detect unaware facial recognitions
(2017-08-01)
The brain's natural reaction to viewing and processing faces in an aware manner
is an area of research that has been explored for previously, however the brain's
unaware reactions to these stimuli prove to be fairly less ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of chemically modified siRNAs that contain internal azobenzene derivative spacers for selective and tunable photocontrol of activity
(2017-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used as post-transcriptional gene regulators and as a natural endogenous defense against attack from viruses. These molecules hold a great deal of interest as ...
Isolation and partial characterization of three acetylcholine-gated chloride channels in Haemonchus contortus
(2017-01-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health due to the parasite’s blood-feeding nature. The ability to manage infection has been confounded by the rapid development of ...
Data curation with ontology functional dependences
(2017-04-01)
Poor data quality has become a pervasive issue due to the increasing complexity and size of modern datasets. Functional
dependencies have been used in existing cleaning solutions to model syntactic equivalence. They are ...
A coherent point drift algorithm for breast image registration via surface markers
(2017-03-01)
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a reliable imaging tool for localization and
evaluation of lesions prior to breast conserving surgery (BCS). MR images typically will
be used to determine the size and location ...
Vehicular infotainment forensics: collecting data and putting it into perspective
(2017-01-01)
In today’s transportation system, countless numbers of vehicles are on the road and later generations have become mobile computers. Vehicles now have embedded infotainment systems that enable user-friendliness and ...
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 ...
