The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)
Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ...
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)
Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however
the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this
study, the decomposition process was compared between ...
Secure and privacy-preserving fog-assisted vehicular crowdsensing
(2018-08-01)
Vehicular crowdsensing (VCS) is an emerging paradigm where vehicles use onboard sensors to collect and share data with the aim of measuring phenomena of common interest. VCS has allowed for automated control as well as ...
Templated N-doped carbon materials for energy storage and conversion: synthesis and characterization studies
(2020-08-01)
Sustainable energy sources are necessary to decrease the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels. Modified mesoporous carbon materials have been studied with aims of improving the performance of energy conversion ...
Investigation into the role of binding loop E on the function of the nematode cys-loop GABA receptor.
(2014-12-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that infects the abomasum of
ruminants. While several classes of anthelmintic drugs exist to control nematode infections,
H. contortus is resistant to all of them. Therefore, ...
Analysis of resistance nodulation division efflux pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2015-01-01)
Strains from Canadian hospitals were classified as A. baumannii, A. pitti, or A. osocomialis and the most commonly expressed resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pump was adeFGH. A collection of A. baumannii isolates ...
Visual Analytics for Topic Model Optimization based on User-Steerable Speculative Execution
(IEEE, 2018-09-18)
To effectively assess the potential consequences of human interventions in model-driven analytics systems, we establish the concept of speculative execution as a visual analytics paradigm for creating user-steerable preview ...
Lexichrome: Text Construction and Lexical Discovery with Word-Color Associations Using Interactive Visualization
(ACM, 2020-07-03)
Based on word-color associations from a comprehensive, crowdsourced lexicon, we present Lexichrome: a web application that explores the popular perception of relationships between English words and eleven basic color terms ...
A "Communication Skills for Computer Scientists" Course
(ACM, 2009-07)
This paper describes "Communication Skills for Computer Scientists," a novel undergraduate course at the University of Toronto. We describe in detail the three major instructional streams of the course: writing, speaking, ...
Webcasting Made Interactive: Persistent Chat for Text Dialogue During and About Learning Events
(Springer, 2007)
This paper presents a “persistent chat” extension to the ePresence Interactive Media webcasting infrastructure to support real-time commenting on and discussing of issues that arise during a learning event, followed by ...
