Hamming distance as a metric for the detection of side channel in 802.11 wireless communications
(2015-04-01)
A wireless network can be exploited in many ways. One way is through intentionally corrupting the Frame Check Sequence
(FCS) field by using a different Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) polynomial in order to create a side ...
Investigation of an alternative sulfonated silane in ceramic carbon electrodes for fuel cell applications
(2015-09-01)
The fabrication of an ideal electrode material for fuel cell application that can maintain an
optimal water content in both low and high relative humidity (RH) conditions has been studied
by many research groups. Previous ...
Polymer translocation: a nonequilibrium process
(2017-04-07)
3D Langevin dynamics simulations of the capture and translocation of polymers
through a nanopore are conducted for several polymer lengths and two
different Péclet values (that quantify the drift-diffusion balance of the ...
Analysis of peptide production by Lactobacillus species and evaluation of their antihypertensive and immunomodulatory activities
(2015-08-01)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Canadian adults. Research has demonstrated an inverse relationship between the consumption of fermented dairy products and a decreased risk of CVD due to ...
First principles calculations of transition metal complexes for artificial photosynthesis
(2015-08-01)
Nanoscale devices using transition metals have shown promise in the renewable energy context for their robustness and scalability. In artificial photosynthetic devices, light harvesting molecules drive reactions which ...
Metal-free methodology for the preparation of ynones using potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates and its application to the synthesis of natural products
(2015-03-01)
A straightforward procedure for the preparation of ynones from potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts and acyl chlorides or anhydrides has been developed. The one-pot reaction is advantageous in that it does not require ...
A matrix-free numerical bifurcation method applied to sheared annular electroconvection
(2015-08-01)
We investigate the flow transitions in sheared annular electroconvection using matrix-free numerical bifurcation methods. In particular, we study a model that simulates a liquid crystal film in the Smectic A phase suspended ...
Investigation of dye-sensitized solar cell performance with single chirality semiconducting carbon nanotubes
(2015-03-01)
In this work, the performance, electrical transport, and optical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of a single chirality in the photoanode were ...
Physical and chemical analysis of pig carcass decomposition in a fine sand
(2010-08-01)
The development and improvement of methods used for the estimation of the
postmortem interval (PMI) is a common area of research in forensic science. This
research was conducted to physically and chemically analyze pig ...
Effects of soy and milk ferments on measures of innate immunity: a comparison of effects in normal and microgravity conditions
(2010-07-01)
Probiotics can influence intestinal responses and mucosal immunity either directly or indirectly through transient modulation of the endogenous microenvironment or the immune system. During space travel, astronauts experience ...
