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 ...
Investigation into potential Dirofilaria immitis drug targets through rational anthelmintic synthesis and design
(2022-04-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a mosquito-transmitted parasitic nematode that can cause debilitating disease in dogs. D. immitis is present in Canada and over the years has increased in prevalence due to several factors including ...
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 ...
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 ...
Unified processing of natural language and relational data
(2022-09-01)
This work outlines a method for performing natural language tasks as part of a relational framework. Utilizing features of PostgreSQL as a relational database and its extensibility to allow for word embedding without leaving ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
