Refining adverse outcome pathways using Japanese Medaka Embryos (Oryzias latipes) exposed to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin
(2021-08-01)
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) are a framework that categorizes the impact of chemicals biologically from the initial molecular interaction through to the ecosystem level. This research aims to refine two existing AOPs ...
Peer evaluation with graph neural networks
(2021-12-01)
Peer assessment systems are rising in various social contexts, such as peer grading in large (online) classrooms, peer review in conferences, peer art evaluation, etc. However, peer assessments might not be as accurate as ...
Automatic knobs-tuning for DB2 using deep reinforcement learning
(2021-12-01)
Modern database management systems have hundreds of different configuration parameters (knobs) that control various aspects of how they behave and perform. These knobs must be properly tuned in order to maximize the ...
Development and characterization of chemical modifications for siRNA strand selection
(2021-12-01)
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are non-coding, double-stranded RNA that enable efficient gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. The primary effector of RNAi is an RNA-guided nuclease, Ago2, which selects ...
Immunomodulatory activity of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus R0011: analysis of secretome-mediated impacts on innate immune outcomes in intestinal epithelial cells and antigen presenting cells
(2021-12-01)
Certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB), such as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus R0011, are associated with immune modulatory activities including down-regulation of pro-inflammatory gene transcription and expression. While host ...
Towards molecular reconstruction in Coulomb explosion imaging
(2021-02-01)
The interaction of a fast laser with molecules at the femtosecond time scale, leads to the latter losing most of its valence electrons and become positively charged. The molecule which was initially in an equilibrium state, ...
The Role of Interactive Visualization in Fostering Trust in AI
(IEEE, 2021-12-10)
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across application domains has prompted our society to pay closer attention to AI's trustworthiness, fairness, interpretability, and accountability. In order ...
An Online System for Visualizing UOIT Class Schedules
(2021-06-02)
The objective of this thesis is to design a system that will enable users to visualize aspects of a schedule so that the information can be interpreted in a meaningful way. The concept of visualizing data has allowed many ...
Approaching Humanities Questions Using Slow Visual Search Interfaces
(2021-06-01)
In this paper we discuss a visual search system that was designed and implemented for humanities scholars to ask questions of large document corpora. The system allows searches to be specified through traditional search, ...
The quantum and electromagnetic process of photon emission by the hydrogen atom
(Physics Essay, 2021-04-07)
Light emitted from atoms during transitions of electrons from higher to lower discrete
states has the form of photons carrying energy and angular momentum. This paper considers the
process of emission of a single photon ...
