Toward graph layout of large data visualization: algorithms, evaluations and application
(2016-01-01)
Generating layouts for millions of points on a spatially-restricted platform is a difficult
task with a unique set of constraints. These layouts are traditionally generated on a
server out of sight of the user. User-oriented ...
Ethylene response and phytohormone-mediated regulation of gene expression in Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582
(2016-04-01)
Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582 is a fruit-associated, cellulose-producing bacterium that responds to and synthesizes phytohormones. This thesis elaborates on the ecophysiology of K. xylinus. Responses to indole-3-acetic ...
A comparison of seated and room-scale virtual reality on medical-based serious games and virtual simulation
(2016-12-01)
Simulation-based training has been widely adopted by healthcare education as a
vital tool in the practice of skills within a safe environment. However, significant cost
and logistical challenges exist within traditional ...
An investigation of land-use impacts on water quality and algal communities in the Nottawasaga River and low-order streams of the Nottawasaga Valley Watershed
(2016-07-01)
The Nottawasaga Valley Watershed (NVW) is a large catchment south of Georgian Bay that drains a primarily agricultural region including one of the largest wetland complexes in Southern Ontario, the Minesing Wetlands (MW). ...
Direct Brønsted acid-catalyzed functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols and 2-ethoxytetrahydrofuran using potassium trifluoroborate salts
(2016-06-01)
Metal-free transformations of organotrifluoroborates are advantageous since they avoid using frequently expensive and sensitive transition metals. Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions involving organotrifluoroborates have emerged ...
Trust-based framework for information sharing in health care
(2016-10-01)
The use of information systems in the health care area specifically in Mobile health
care, can result in delivering high quality and efficient patient care. At the same
time, using electronic systems for sharing information ...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis as a predictor of fish health and energy content in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2016-12-14)
Assessing the health of a fish is an essential part to aquaculture and fish research. This is traditionally done by measuring body content using bomb calorimetry or proximate composition analysis; however, both of these ...
Examination of intramolecular interactions between residues of the cys-loop GABA receptor Hco-UNC-49 from Haemonchus contortus
(2016-01-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode known to infect ruminant animals such as sheep, goats and cattle. Despite several different anthelmintic drugs available to control the spread of this infection, H. contortus ...
Detecting vulnerabilities of broadcast receivers in Android applications
(2016-01-01)
As being a representative mobile operating system in the world, Android OS has been part of users' daily life. Unfortunately, the rapid expansion of Android third-markets introduces malware aiming at Android applications ...
Characterization of nanopores with internal cavities for DNA manipulation using Langevin dynamics simulations
(2016-12-01)
A novel nanopore geometry is proposed, in which a larger internal cavity is
located inside a traditional nanopore. Polymer translocation through this geometry
is studied using coarse-grained Langevin dynamics. The most ...
