Characterization of a secreted escherichia coli 086a:K61 protease that inactivates human coagulation FV
(2011-08-01)
Background: Escherichia coli (E.coli) O86a:K61 belongs to the Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) group of pathogens. Acute gastroenteritis affects 2-4 billion people annually and EPEC is associated with 10-40% of hospitalized ...
Mathematical modelling of the plunger pump operation with numerical methods for simulating the flow across the valve
(2011-12-01)
Plunger pumps are needed for heavy duty sludge pumping at wastewater treatment
facilities. America's leading pump manufacturer Wastecorp Inc. brought
their plunger pump problem to us in late 2009. It was found that when ...
Detection of gasoline from internal tissues for use in determining victim status at the time of a fire
(2012-08-01)
In Ontario, fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) are responsible for determining the origin and cause of suspicious fires. As part of the investigation, fire debris samples are collected from the ...
Spatial sound and sound localization on a horizontal surface for use with interactive surface (tabletop) computers
(2012-08-01)
Tabletop computers (also known as surface computers, smart tables, and
interactive surface computers) have been growing in popularity for the last decade
and are poised to make in-roads into the consumer market, opening ...
I remember, at least I think I do : An investigation into emotional memories and our perception of them over time
(2019-12-01)
Entertainment and emotions play a large part in the area of education and learning, however there is a lack of understanding in both the implementation of game-based learning and how this information changes over time. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Faulty node repair and dynamically spawned black hole search in clouds
(2015-03-01)
The reality of the constant emergence of new threats justifies the necessity to protect
network assets and mitigate the risks associated with attacks. In this context, eliminating faulty network entities in the distributed ...
Numerical methods for simulating diffusion in cellular media
(2011-12-01)
Diffusion imaging is a relatively recent branch of magnetic resonance imaging that
produces images of human physiology through diffusion of water molecules within the
body. One difficulty in calculating diffusion ...
