TCP congestion control using reinforcement learning
(2022-10-01)TCP, a transport layer protocol which ensures the reliable delivery of information on the network, is the basis of Internet connectivity, with 85% of the worlds Internet traffic being TCP based. TCP however, is slow to ... -
Temperature dependent structural, electronic and optical properties of the Si(100) surface from first principles
(2019-04-01)The results presented here were obtained using the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT), within the pseudo-potentials scheme. We present the results of the numerical simulations for the Si ... -
Templated N-doped carbon materials for energy storage and conversion: synthesis and characterization studies
(2020-08-01)Sustainable energy sources are necessary to decrease the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels. Modified mesoporous carbon materials have been studied with aims of improving the performance of energy conversion ... -
Topic models for image localization
(2013-08-01)We present a new scheme for partitioning geo-tagged reference image database in an effort to speed up query image localization while maintaining acceptable localization accuracy. Our method learns a topic model over the ... -
Total knee replacement serious game for surgical education and training
(2012-08-01)Traditionally, orthopaedic surgical training has primarily taken place in the operating room. Given the growing trend of decreasing resident work hours in North America and globally due to political mandate, training time ... -
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 ... -
Towards a concurrent implementation of keyword search over relational databases.
(2014-06-01)Vast amounts of data are stored in relational databases. Traditionally, querying this data required a deep understanding of the underlying schema in addition to knowledge of a query language such as structured query language ... -
Towards deep learning models for automatic computer program grading
(2023-04-01)Automatic grading of computer programs has a great impact on both computer science education and the software industry as it saves human evaluators a tremendous amount of time required for assessing programs. However, to ... -
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 ... -
Towards parallax-based unencumbered displays
(2015-01-01)We present an analysis of content adaptive parallax barriers used for multi-layer unencumbered displays. We explain the techniques involved in detail from the input light field to the output masks and how to display them. ... -
Towards secure and privacy preserving e-health data exchanges through consent based access control
(2017-09-01)How we administer healthcare continues to evolve alongside the advancement of information technology. As we become more connected, the Internet of Things and our want to share information in a timely manner encourage us ... -
Towards trusted and efficient temporal relational databases
(2018-12-01)This research is to develop a blockchain based database based on a relational database management system (RDBMS). The database guarantees authenticity of the stored records using immutable and verifiable signatures. The ... -
The toxicity of Harmony Landfill Leachate to Green Hydra (Hydra viridiisma)
(2010-08-01)Harmony Landfill is a former industrial waste disposal site located adjacent to Harmony Creek in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. During active disposal, from 1957 until 1980, approximately 1 million tonnes of waste were land-filled ... -
The transcription factor, fixK, plays a central role in carbon source metabolism and cellulose synthesis in Komagataeibacter species
(2017-07-01)Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582 and K. hansenii ATCC 23769 are model bacterial cellulose producers. This thesis investigated both carbon source utilization and the role that a Crp/Fnr transcription factor, FixK, plays ... -
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 ... -
Transport-theory-equivalent diffusion coefficients for node-homogenized neutron diffusion problems in CANDU lattices
(2010-04-01)Calculation of the neutron flux in a nuclear reactor core is ideally performed by solving the neutron transport equation for a detailed-geometry model using several tens of energy groups. However, performing such detailed ... -
