Unified processing of natural language and relational data
(2022-09-01)
This work outlines a method for performing natural language tasks as part of a relational framework. Utilizing features of PostgreSQL as a relational database and its extensibility to allow for word embedding without leaving ...
Integrated traffic analysis and visualization for future road events
(2023-04-01)
The existing traffic simulation methods are limited to specific synthetic scenarios. In addition, the natural structure of traffic and accident data requires modeling the dependent observations on multiple levels. Therefore, ...
Transformer-based models for answer extraction in text-based question/answering
(2023-04-01)
The success of transformer-based language models has led to a surge of research in various natural language processing tasks, among which extractive question-answering/answer span detection, has received considerable ...
Raising the bar for password crackers: improving the quality of honeywords with deep neural networks
(2022-12-01)
Honeywords are fictitious passwords inserted into databases in order to identify password breaches. Producing honeywords that are difficult to distinguish from actual passwords automatically is a time-consuming and ...
Optimizing relational search with embedded neural network
(2023-04-01)
Our research focuses on a novel method to query relational data. We propose the partial tuple search problem where a user can utilize keyword search to explore complex relational datasets. The challenge of evaluation of ...
Performance assessment of Au SERS substrates prepared by deposition of Au nanoparticles on screen-printed SiO2 particle films
(2023-02-01)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly studied technique for simple and rapid trace analysis. Screen-printing, a low-cost fabrication method, has been proposed as a reproducible and affordable approach for ...
Metabolic, neurotoxic and immunotoxic effects of PFAAs and their mixtures on the proteome of plasma and head kidney from rainbow trout
(2023-03-01)
PFAAs (Perfluoroalkyl acids) are a class of bioaccumulative, persistent and ubiquitous aquatic contaminants. A paucity of toxicological information exists for short chain PFAAs and PFAA mixtures. In order to address these ...
Developing an elevated temperature Pourbaix diagram for zirconium and multi-element Pourbaix diagram of Zircaloy-4
(2023-08-01)
Zirconium and Zircaloy-4 are used in applications that require corrosion resistance under extreme conditions. For example, the fuel bundles in coolant systems of CANDU™ reactors operate between 533 to 583K (260 to 310 °C). ...
Towards improving the usability of system-assigned PINs: can implicit learning techniques help?
(2023-08-01)
Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are widely used for automated teller machines (ATMs), computers, mobile devices, debit cards, and credit cards. People tend to choose easy-to-recall PINs that are related to important ...
An inquiry into virtual materiality
(2023-08-01)
“We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us," this Mcluhanism demands that when we create, we do so thoughtfully. This thesis examines artists' relation to VR tools for 3D shape modelling and their needs regarding ...
