Adaptive learning game to personalize occupational health and safety training
(2017-11-01)
In 2012, the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada recorded approximately a quarter-million workplace injuries, a staggering figure keeping in mind that some incidents go undocumented. It is important that ...
Polymer translocation: a nonequilibrium process
(2017-04-07)
3D Langevin dynamics simulations of the capture and translocation of polymers
through a nanopore are conducted for several polymer lengths and two
different Péclet values (that quantify the drift-diffusion balance of the ...
Vehicular infotainment forensics: collecting data and putting it into perspective
(2017-01-01)
In today’s transportation system, countless numbers of vehicles are on the road and later generations have become mobile computers. Vehicles now have embedded infotainment systems that enable user-friendliness and ...
Determining optimal flight paths for cellular network connectivity for the transmission of real-time physiological data in support of big data analytics during airborne critical care transport
(2017-02-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for determining the optimal flight paths between two geographical points based on distance and cellular reception over the path. This methodology consists of two main concepts: coverage ...
Characterizing water-metal interfaces and machine learning potential energy surfaces
(2017-08-01)
In this thesis, we first discuss the fundamentals of ab initio electronic structure theory and density functional theory (DFT). We also discuss statistics related to computing thermodynamic averages of molecular dynamics ...
Design and performance evaluation of data dissemination and hovering information protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs)
(2017-07-01)
Robust and efficient communication protocols for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)
are still an open topic in the literature. Because of that, our attention has been gathered
by the Data Dissemination and the Information ...
Analysing atomic structure in nano-scale imagery
(2017-01-01)
This thesis presents methods for both detecting atoms and reconstructing single layer molecular
geometry depicted within high resolution nanoscale imagery. Nanoscale imaging is a common
method of analysing molecular ...
Modeling mobility patterns
(2017-11-01)
This work focuses on analysis and model generation for user mobility patterns given a sequence of observed WiFi signals. Built on the Android platform, the data collection mobile application gathers WiFi sensor readings ...
Joint position estimation, packet routing and sleep scheduling in wireless sensor networks
(2017-08-01)
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an important research field in Computer Science
with applications that span multiple domains. Due to the limitation of sensor nodes,
network lifetime is a critical issue that needs to be ...
Vixen: a games user research tool for collection and interactive visualization of usertesting data
(2017-08-01)
Visualization techniques can facilitate the understanding and exploration of relationships in usertesting data. For example, data from players' in-game movement can be combined with interview data or questionnaire results. ...
