Visualization, Digital Humanities, and the Problem of Instrumentalism
(2021-06-01)
In this paper we present the concept of “slow analytics” that attempts to ridge the gap between humanities tasks and visualization. Often within Technological disciplines the pursuit of speed and efficiency are paramount. ...
A Vision-Based System For Non-Intrusive Posture Correction Notifications
(2021-05-20)
Sedentary lifestyle and the prolonged sitting associated with it may have negative health consequences and poor sitting posture only exacerbates that. In this thesis I propose a software application for monitoring a computer ...
A Framework for Interactive Conference Posters
(2021-05-25)
In this paper, we present a complete framework for extending conference posters with interactive content. Poster content will become interactive, allowing viewers to manipulate visualizations, and save them for later. We ...
Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
(2020-08-01)
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint ...
Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
(2020-06-01)
Most research in the Lake Simcoe watershed (LSW) has focused on how the lake has responded to changes in nutrients sourced by agriculture, particularly after mitigation measures have been put in place to remedy the lake’s ...
Characterization of the ACC-1 Family of cys-loop ligand gated ion channels from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
(2020-12-01)
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been extensively studied for decades because of their role in current anthelmintic action and potential as targets for future drugs. Many families of cys loop receptors ...
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 ...
A method to detect and represent temporal patterns from time series data and its application for analysis of physiological data streams
(2020-03-01)
In critical care, complex systems and sensors continuously monitor patients’ physiological features such as heart rate, respiratory rate thus generating significant amounts of data every second. This results to more than ...
Monolayer terpyridyl metal complexes for high-efficiency electrochromic materials
(2021-08-01)
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) can change their color with changes of applied electrochemical potential. Currently, the use of ECMs in the industry is limited to mainly inorganic metal oxides, conjugated conducting polymers, ...
A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)
Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ...
