Investigating proteomic profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2022-08-01)
The Ontario Ring of Fire located in the James Bay Lowlands is a nickel rich ore with ongoing mining proposals. This raises the possibility of nickel contamination in one of Ontario’s most precious freshwater regions and ...
Aiding the experts: how artificial intelligence can augment expert evaluation with PathOS+
(2022-07-01)
Within games user research (GUR) predictive methods like expert evaluation are good for getting easy insights on a game in development but may not accurately reflect the player experience. On the other hand, experimental ...
TCP congestion control using reinforcement learning
(2022-10-01)
TCP, a transport layer protocol which ensures the reliable delivery of information on the network, is the basis of Internet connectivity, with 85% of the worlds Internet traffic being TCP based. TCP however, is slow to ...
A modular approach to image matting
(2022-11-01)
Image matting is the art of creating an accurate alpha matte for the purpose of foreground separation in an image or video. Although there have been many methods which only require an input image, the best-performing image ...
Functionalized carbon surfaces for clean electrochemical energy systems
(2022-03-01)
The development and implementation of clean energy technologies is the way to overcome the global energy crisis and reduce pollution. Therefore, new energy solutions are rapidly needed. Fuel cells (FCs) may become one such ...
Generative models for multi-modality image inpainting and resolution enhancement
(2022-04-01)
Recently, deep learning methods specifically generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been used to rapidly improve a wide range of image enhancement tasks including image inpainting and image resolution enhancement also ...
Novel electrode materials and advanced electrochemical diagnostics for electrochromic devices
(2022-04-01)
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) are a class of “smart” materials used in a variety of applications due to the ability to alter their optical properties with the application of a potential. For these applications, ECMs are ...
Proportional-integral control in the evaluation of glucose homeostasis and Type 2 Diabetes
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-06-01)
Mathematical modelling of blood sugar dynamics has been explored since the early 1960s. For most of these models, measurements of hormones such as insulin and glucagon are required to find parameter values that yield ...
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)
Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ...
Calculating thermochemical equilibrium for multiphysics simulations of nuclear materials : development of yellowjacket gibbs energy minimiser
(2022-11-01)
Nuclear fuels and structural materials are highly complex systems that are remarkably challenging to understand and model. Material behaviours are influenced by multiple physical phenomena such as mechanics, chemistry, ...
