Polymorphic Adversarial DDoS attack on IDS using GAN
(2020-12-01)
IDS are essential components in preventing malicious traffic from penetrating networks. IDS have been rapidly enhancing their detection ability using ML algorithms. As a result, attackers look for new methods to evade the ...
Comparative analysis of deep learning and graph cut algorithms for cell image segmentation
(2020-08-01)
Image segmentation is a commonly used technique in digital image processing with many applications in the area of computer vision and medical image analysis. The goal of image segmentation is to partition an image into ...
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ...
Characterizing Plankton communities in Lake Ontario coastal wetlands along an urban land-use gradient
(2020-04-01)
This thesis presents the results of a study on the effect of habitat condition and water quality on plankton communities across an urban land-use gradient in the Lake Ontario coastal wetlands: Frenchman’s Bay, Lynde Marsh, ...
Understanding the carbon morphology in sulfonated-silica ceramic carbon electrodes for the PEM fuel cell device
(2020-03-01)
Using hydrogen and oxygen gas, the fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Particularly, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, has multiple components, all that are consistently being ...
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
Multi-character prediction using attention
(2020-01-01)
We propose a computational attention approach to localize and classify characters in a sequence in a given image. Our approach combines spatial soft-attention with attention regularization and learns “where-to-look” to ...
Characterization of a carbon source-dependent, phytohormone-responsive, free methionine-(R)-sulfoxide reductase from Komagataeibacter hansenii
(2020-05-01)
Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 is a gram negative, non-pathogenic, acetic acid bacterium, best known for its ability to produce bacterial cellulose (BC). BC, an extracellular polysaccharide, is an important component ...
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 ...
Development and characterization of chemical modifications for siRNA strand selection
(2021-12-01)
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are non-coding, double-stranded RNA that enable efficient gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. The primary effector of RNAi is an RNA-guided nuclease, Ago2, which selects ...
