Deep learning approach to discontinuity-preserving image registration
(2020-05-01)
Image registration is an indispensable tool in medical image analysis. Traditionally, registration algorithms are aimed at aligning image pairs using regularizers to impose smoothness restrictions on unknown deformation ...
Comparative analysis of deep learning and graph cut algorithms for cell image segmentation
(2020-08-01)
Image segmentation is a commonly used technique in digital image processing with many applications in the area of computer vision and medical image analysis. The goal of image segmentation is to partition an image into ...
Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
(2020-08-01)
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint ...
Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
(2020-06-01)
Most research in the Lake Simcoe watershed (LSW) has focused on how the lake has responded to changes in nutrients sourced by agriculture, particularly after mitigation measures have been put in place to remedy the lake’s ...
Characterization of the ACC-1 Family of cys-loop ligand gated ion channels from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
(2020-12-01)
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been extensively studied for decades because of their role in current anthelmintic action and potential as targets for future drugs. Many families of cys loop receptors ...
Tied In Knots: A Case Study on Anthropographic Data Visualization About Sexual Harassment in the Academy
(IEEE, 2020-10-30)
With this pictorial we present the design process of “The Academia is Tied in Knots”, an interactive visualization based on sensitive and qualitative data, namely personal stories reported by people who have experienced ...
Templated N-doped carbon materials for energy storage and conversion: synthesis and characterization studies
(2020-08-01)
Sustainable energy sources are necessary to decrease the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels. Modified mesoporous carbon materials have been studied with aims of improving the performance of energy conversion ...
A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)
Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ...
A method to detect and represent temporal patterns from time series data and its application for analysis of physiological data streams
(2020-03-01)
In critical care, complex systems and sensors continuously monitor patients’ physiological features such as heart rate, respiratory rate thus generating significant amounts of data every second. This results to more than ...
Comparing exercise responses to high intensity interval training between adults with and without asthma
(2020-06-01)
Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs in response to high ventilations during exercise, which cools and dries the airways, triggering an inflammatory cascade. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated ...
