Perpetually playing physics
(2019-08-01)
Here we discuss ideas of reinforcement learning and the importance of various aspects of it. We show how reinforcement learning methods based on genetic algorithms can be used to reproduce thermodynamic cycles without prior ...
Spring Stepper: a makerspace controller for seated hands-free locomotion in virtual reality
(2019-12-01)
Natural locomotion is crucial for improving presence in a virtual environment (VE), while also reducing simulator sickness. While research in various areas of virtual reality (VR), such as head-mounted displays (HMD) and ...
Supporting student success with machine learning and visual analytics
(2019-08-01)
Post secondary institutions have a wealth of student data at their disposal. This data has recently been used to explore a problem that has been prevalent in the education domain for decades. Student retention is a complex ...
The development of an anesthesia crisis scenario builder for virtual reality training
(2019-08-01)
Anesthesiologists are trained in the field of anesthesia and preoperative medicine; they are required to develop anesthetic plans and monitor patients vitals. Currently, anesthesia trainees are taught using traditional ...
Impact of carbon micro/mesoporosity on the adsorption behavior of small molecules
(2019-08-01)
Adsorption studies on carbon play a key role in fields such as environmental remediation, purification, and catalysis. Because of the inherently high surface area, low cost, and inertness of activated carbons, these materials ...
Nanostructured carbon-based materials for electrochemical applications
(2019-12-01)
Mesoporous carbons have been widely studied due to the relevance of these materials for applications in energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells), mainly due to their high surface ...
DistGALO: Distributed system for query problem determination
(2019-12-01)
Query optimization is a quintessential element of modern Database Management Systems(DBMSs). Compile-time driven estimates and heuristics aid the compiler in selecting what is deemed the lowest cost Access Plan for a given ...
QoE aware real-time multimedia streaming in software-defined networks
(2019-08-01)
The exponential increase in bandwidth-sensitive multimedia traffic on the net has given rise to new challenges and services. There is a need to have quality management measures to serve the high needs of efficient transmission ...
Probing the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the sulfonated silica ceramic carbon electrode for PEM fuel cell operation
(2019-05-01)
Operation of fuel cells under low relative humidity (RH) and high temperature is a useful way to cut-down cost and increase performance. However, the Nafion ionomer employed in the electrode of the conventional fuel cells ...
Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
(2018-12-01)
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in ...
