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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Strategies and applications for creating more memorable passwords
(2016-01-01)
As we continue to learn and grow in an ever evolving technological age, we deepen our
understanding of the importance of authentication. There are many different types of
authentication, each exhibiting their own strengths ...
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 ...
Improved 3D modelling of CANDU reactors using transport-fitted diffusion coefficients
(2016-12-01)
To model the neutronic physics behavior of the core in CANDU pressure tube type heavy water reactors with natural-uranium fuel, two levels of calculations are required. Initially, lattice-level transport calculations are ...
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). ...
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 ...
