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 ...
Assessing nearshore water quality and biological condition in the Kawartha Lakes using a community science approach
(2022-08-01)
The Kawartha Lakes, located in south-central Ontario, are a popular tourist destination, with a growing permanent resident population. Consequently, land development in its watersheds continues, and the specific land-use ...
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 ...
Brønsted acid-catalyzed stereoselective allylation of exo-glycals with allyltrimethylsilane
(2022-08-01)
Quaternary stereocenter on carbohydrate scaffolds is an important motif due to its presence in natural products and biologically active compounds. However, the preparation of C,C-glycosides is a challenge, and to date, ...
Discrete optimization of upgrade scheduling
(2022-08-01)
A primary objective of the mission to meet climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is to transition from fossil fuels to zero-emission energy. Fossil fuel production and transportation account for ...
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, ...
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 ...
