Visual Analytics for Topic Model Optimization based on User-Steerable Speculative Execution
(IEEE, 2018-09-18)
To effectively assess the potential consequences of human interventions in model-driven analytics systems, we establish the concept of speculative execution as a visual analytics paradigm for creating user-steerable preview ...
Evaluating social and cognitive effects of video games using electroencephalography.
(2014-05-01)
Games User Research (GUR) is an area of evaluative player research and human-computer interaction (HCI) that aims to improve games, focused on a player’s understanding and on their experience when playing games. In this ...
StoryPass: a system and study for memorable secure passphrases.
(2014-10-01)
The goal of this thesis is to study the implementation of a passphrase system that
implements new creation policies, called StoryPass. We are motivated to do this
research as current text-based authentication methods, ...
Non-precious metal catalysts prepared by chemical functionalization of carbon surfaces.
(2014-08-01)
New sources of power are of great interest as attempts to make smaller, more convenient and environmentally friendly sources are being investigated. Hydrogen fuel cells are a way to combine both an effective method of power ...
Object-centric temporal navigation for dynamic information visualizations.
(2014-08-01)
We introduce object-centric temporal navigation for time-varying information visualizations.
In our approach, navigation through time is controlled by interacting directly with
any data item, enabling simultaneous exploration ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes cognitive function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals
(2017-12-01)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients ...
Cognitive function during exertional heat stress assessed using traditional and serious game technology
(2016-06-01)
Firefighting is a physically demanding occupation requiring intermittent bouts of work resulting in increased levels of cardiovascular and thermal strain, while making decisions requiring higher order cognitive abilities ...
Analysis of resistance nodulation division efflux pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2015-01-01)
Strains from Canadian hospitals were classified as A. baumannii, A. pitti, or A. osocomialis and the most commonly expressed resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pump was adeFGH. A collection of A. baumannii isolates ...
The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
(2017-04-01)
This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we ...
Design by Immersion: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Problem-Driven Visualizations
(IEEE, 2019-08-26)
While previous work exists on how to conduct and disseminate insights from problem-driven visualization projects and design studies, the literature does not address how to accomplish these goals in transdisciplinary teams ...
