Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
Isolation and partial characterization of three members of the GGR-1 family in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2019-08-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood sucking parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals. These parasites are of significant economic importance as they are estimated to cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars ...
UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
(2019-08-01)
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact ...
A few randomized protocols in peer-to-peer networks
(2019-08-01)
This thesis studies a few randomized algorithms in application-layer peer-to-peer networks. The significant gain in scalability and resilience that peer-to-peer networks provide has made them widely used and adopted in ...
Towards trusted and efficient temporal relational databases
(2018-12-01)
This research is to develop a blockchain based database based on a relational database management system (RDBMS). The database guarantees authenticity of the stored records using immutable and verifiable signatures. The ...
Design and evaluation of a novel convolutional neural network for short-term vehicle multi-traffic prediction
(2019-08-01)
Short-term vehicle traffic forecasting is about predicting how traffic indicators are going to be in the near future. The main traffic parameters are: traffic volume, traffic speed, and congestion state. In this thesis, ...
A low-fidelity serious game authoring tool and educational network to facilitate medical-based cultural competence education
(2015-12-01)
Here I present Fydlyty, a web-based, low-fidelity serious game for medical-based cultural competence education and training. Fydlyty includes a scenario editor and dialogue editor which has the ability to build conversations, ...
Synthesis of internal amide bond short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and investigation of their gene silencing properties
(2012-10-01)
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for around 13% of all death [1]. Traditional cancer therapeutics usually require careful selection of one or more intervention, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and ...
Identifying metabolic indicators of phytoplankton and comparing the temporal changes in algal community composition in two Lake Ontario areas of concern
(2021-12-01)
Freshwater algal blooms transition into harmful algal blooms (HABs) when cyanobacteria produce toxins that impact ecosystem health. The point at which algal blooms transition into HABs is not fully understood, but I believe ...
Design and implementation of the crypto-assistant: an eclipse plugin for usable password-based column level encryption based on hiberate and jasypt
(2013-03-01)
The lack of encryption of data at rest or in motion is one of the top 10 database vulnerabilities according to team SHATTER [72]. In the quest to improve the security landscape, we identify an opportunity area: two tools ...
