A geophysical and biochemical investigation of buried remains in contrasting soil textures in southern Ontario
(2010-08-01)
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive, geophysical tool used for the
detection of clandestine graves. GPR operates by detecting density differences in soil by
the transmission of high frequency electromagnetic ...
Stereoscopic depth axis interaction: A study of performance and engagement in stereoscopic 3D games.
(2014-01-01)
Game developers strive to maximize immersion and engagement,
to emotionally involve the audience in their material. One technique
used to increase engagement is the development of new technologies,
such as Stereoscopic ...
Assessment of wastewater algae for use in biofuel production
(2013-08-01)
Although new technologies have allowed the attainment of previously untapped fossil fuels these practises are unsustainable and harmful to the environment. Part of the solution to ease the fuel burden is through renewable ...
Energy-economic model for transition to renewables
(2013-05-01)
Presented in this thesis is a macro-economic model based on a three-factor production
function, utilizing energy, capital, and labour as the three production factors. With a
primary focus on energy production we include ...
The effects of Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin on the American Flagfish (Jordanella floridae) over one complete life-cycle
(2013-08-01)
Understanding the impacts of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) on aquatic ecosystems is an important issue in aquatic toxicology. Many PPCPs have been shown to cause effects on aquatic biota within detected ...
On matrix-free pseudo-arclength continuation methods applied to a nonlocal partial differential equation in 1+1D with pseudo-spectral time-stepping
(2013-08-01)
In this thesis we examine a recent animal aggregation model which describes the
evolution of two populations of animals moving on a 1-dimensional spatial domain
differing only by the direction they travel. The equations ...
Mass transport in the cathode electrode of a molten carbonate fuel cell
(2009-04-01)
A molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is an electro-chemical energy conversion technology that runs on natural gas and employs a molten salt electrolyte. In order to keep the electrolyte in this state, the cell must be kept ...
Playing is creating with PlayTIME: introducing and evaluating a tangible UI-based interactive scenario prototyping system
(2015-02-01)
With traditional game prototyping activities, physical and digital game prototyping
tasks are commonly separate, often requiring iteration between the two and different
personnel to complete physical and digital tasks. ...
Synthesis and in vitro assessment of chemically modified siRNAs targeting BCL2 that contain 2'-ribose and triazole-linked backbone modifications
(2015-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biomolecules used for post-transcriptional gene regulation, and therefore hold promise as a future therapeutic by silencing gene expression of overexpressed deleterious genes. Chemically ...
Detection of side-channel communication in a mobile ad-hoc network environment using the Hamming distance metric
(2015-06-01)
Side-Channel communication is a form of traffic in which malicious parties communicate secretly over a wireless network. This is often established through the modification of Ethernet frame header fields, such as the Frame ...
