Improved 3D modelling of CANDU reactors using transport-fitted diffusion coefficients
(2016-12-01)
To model the neutronic physics behavior of the core in CANDU pressure tube type heavy water reactors with natural-uranium fuel, two levels of calculations are required. Initially, lattice-level transport calculations are ...
Spatial and temporal assessment of rural-urban land-use gradient effects on water quality and periphyton communities in tributaries of Durham Region, Ontario
(2016-08-01)
This study examines the effects of longitudinal and local land-use gradients on water quality and periphyton within four watersheds representing varying rural-urban land-use types and intensities. Although numerous studies ...
Mathematical methods for 2D-3D cardiac image registration
(2016-12-01)
We propose a mathematical formulation aimed at intensity-based slice-to-volume registration,
aligning a cross-sectional slice of a 3D volume to a 2D image. The approach is
flexible and can accommodate various regularization ...
Detecting vulnerabilities of broadcast receivers in Android applications
(2016-01-01)
As being a representative mobile operating system in the world, Android OS has been part of users' daily life. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of Android third-markets introduces malware aiming at Android applications ...
A framework for privacy-preserving data sharing in smart grid
(2016-01-01)
While smart grid introduces a lot of enhancements to the traditional power grid and improves managing and controlling consumers demands, it also introduces security and privacy issues. Therefore, failure to address them ...
A dynamic visual analytics framework for complex temporal environments
(2016-08-01)
Introduction: Data streams are produced by sensors that sample an external system at a periodic interval. As the cost of developing sensors continues to fall, an increasing number of data stream acquisition systems have ...
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 ...
