Investigation into potential Dirofilaria immitis drug targets through rational anthelmintic synthesis and design
(2022-04-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a mosquito-transmitted parasitic nematode that can cause debilitating disease in dogs. D. immitis is present in Canada and over the years has increased in prevalence due to several factors including ...
Novel electrode materials and advanced electrochemical diagnostics for electrochromic devices
(2022-04-01)
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) are a class of “smart” materials used in a variety of applications due to the ability to alter their optical properties with the application of a potential. For these applications, ECMs are ...
Interfaces for alternatives, difference visualizations and collaborative authoring of behavior trees
(2020-12-01)
A visual behavior authoring framework for exploring and comparing multiple game AI behavior alternatives is presented. A mixed method study revealed participants rated it higher compared to the control framework. Mostly ...
Proportional-integral control in the evaluation of glucose homeostasis and Type 2 Diabetes
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-06-01)
Mathematical modelling of blood sugar dynamics has been explored since the early 1960s. For most of these models, measurements of hormones such as insulin and glucagon are required to find parameter values that yield ...
Towards a computational model of information trust
(2022-02-01)
Information has been an essential element in the development of collaborative and cooperative frameworks. From decision making to the attainment of different goals, people have been relatively adept at making judgments ...
Opportunities for the deep neural network method of solving partial differential equations in the computational study of biomolecules driven through periodic geometries
(2022-08-01)
As deep learning emerged in the 2010s to become a groundbreaking technology in machine vision and natural language processing, it also ushered in many new algorithms for use in scientific research. Among these is the neural ...
Multi-scale local explanation approach for image analysis using model-agnostic explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)
(2022-08-01)
The recent success of deep neural networks has generated a remarkable growth in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, and it received much interest over the past few years. However, one of the main challenges for the broad ...
Single magnetic resonance image super-resolution using generative adversarial network
(2022-08-01)
Super-Resolution is the process of converting given low-resolution images into corresponding high-resolution ones. The resolution enhancement process applied to medical images can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy ...
Magic Pen: automatic pen-mode switching for document annotation
(2022-08-01)
Traditional digital pen interfaces use menu buttons to change pen modes, resulting in time and cognitive load spent on round-trips and potential errors from tapping small mode selection buttons. This thesis presents Magic ...
A heart rate and skin response module for adaptive difficulty in virtual reality
(2022-09-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming an ubiquitous technology currently being in many areas as it offers simulated realistic environments suitable for training. Despite the advances in VR technology, one-size-fits solutions ...
