A nonlinear and nonlocal model for animal aggregation
(2022-09-01)
An aggregation model is a kind of model used to show the dynamics of the distribution of the population of organisms. Mathematically, we can use a partial differential equation to model the density of an organism at different ...
Magic Pen: automatic pen-mode switching for document annotation
(2022-08-01)
Traditional digital pen interfaces use menu buttons to change pen modes, resulting in time and cognitive load spent on round-trips and potential errors from tapping small mode selection buttons. This thesis presents Magic ...
Anodic alcohol fuel cell reactions at platinum active sites on doped metal oxide supports
(2022-12-01)
Fuel cells produce electrical energy via chemical reactions, which take place on the carbon supported platinum catalyst (Pt/C). As attractive as these devices may seem, their practicality is often limited by the functionality ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Agent-based modeling framework for adaptive cyber defence of the Internet of Things
(2022-12-01)
The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to increase significantly, introducing unique challenges and threats to cybersecurity. In parallel, adaptive and autonomous cyber defence has become an emerging research ...
Molecular dynamics simulations and neural network solutions for applications in biophysics
(2022-12-01)
As computing resources evolved and became more accessible over time, much of scientific research shifted towards utilizing computational techniques. In particular, biophysics is a field of science that has continually ...
Raising the bar for password crackers: improving the quality of honeywords with deep neural networks
(2022-12-01)
Honeywords are fictitious passwords inserted into databases in order to identify password breaches. Producing honeywords that are difficult to distinguish from actual passwords automatically is a time-consuming and ...
Virtual machine detection through Central Processing Unit (CPU) detail anomalies
(2022-12-01)
Malware analysts commonly use virtual machines to provide safe environments to study malware. Malware authors in response, include virtual machine detection functions in their malware so it changes its behavior should a ...
