GURB : the game user research blueprint
(2016-08-01)
With the rise of new platforms, distribution and crowdfunding services, the game
industry is facing fast changes and advances in technology. Game development
studios are under more pressure to create successful games due ...
Understanding and predicting method-level source code changes using commit history data
(2016-10-01)
Software development and software maintenance require a large amount of source
code changes to be made to a software repositories. Any change to a repository can
introduce new resource needs which will cost more time and ...
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). ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bifurcation analysis of a nonlocal two-communication mechanism model for animal aggregation with O(2)-symmetry
(2016-12-19)
The study of animal aggregations has become a topic of great interest due to its practical
applications and theoretical significance. The common occurrence of these aggregations in
nature lead to a large variety of models ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
