Hamming distance as a metric for the detection of side channel in 802.11 wireless communications
(2015-04-01)
A wireless network can be exploited in many ways. One way is through intentionally corrupting the Frame Check Sequence
(FCS) field by using a different Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) polynomial in order to create a side ...
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 ...
Prototype development and testing of active yaw moment control system using vehicle momentum wheel
(2015-01-01)
Vehicle stability is the essential key to evade accidents and drive without harm. It is in actual an extremely dynamic and active research topic nowadays. Active yaw moment control to improve vehicle’s handling and stability ...
RoboBUG: a game-based approach to learning debugging techniques
(2015-03-01)
Debugging is the systematic process of finding and fixing errors in a computer program, and it is considered a critical skill that should be acquired early in a programmer's career. As an alternative to traditional approaches ...
Brønsted acid-catalyzed reaction of alkynyltrifluoroborates with acetals and ketals
(2015-04-01)
The synthesis of small molecules is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry for producing drugs or biologically active compounds. Specifically, the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds is of great importance in synthetic ...
Aerodynamic and thermal analysis of a heat source at the underside of a passenger vehicle
(2014-12-01)
The first part of this thesis involves full experimental and numerical studies to understand the effects of cross-winds on the automotive underbody aero-thermal phenomena using a 2005 Chevrolet Aveo5 with a heat source ...
Sex and seasonal variation in hippocampal volume and neurogenesis in the eastern chipmunk, Tamias striatus
(2015-07-01)
The hippocampus (HPC) is important in spatial memory and navigation and also exhibits adult neurogenesis. In wild-living species, HPC volume and neurogenesis have been found to differ between the sexes and vary seasonally ...
Investigation of dye-sensitized solar cell performance with single chirality semiconducting carbon nanotubes
(2015-03-01)
In this work, the performance, electrical transport, and optical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) of a single chirality in the photoanode were ...
Cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors modulate defense transcripts and regulate genes that are implicated in cell wall re-structuring in arabidopsis
(2011-06-01)
The cell wall is a multifunctional structure which is implicated in plant growth and development as well as responding to any environmental changes including biotic and abiotic stresses. One of the practical approaches in ...
Pure culture and metagenomic approaches to investigate cellulose and xylan degradation
(2010-04-01)
Lignocellulose is composed of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. Lignocellulose waste is a sustainable and renewable resource available for use in biotechnological applications. Efficient enzyme production and enzymes ...
