Getting comfortable in the zone with S3DComfortZone
(2017-07-01)
This thesis explains the creation of S3DComfortZone; a visualization tool integrated into the development pipeline displaying the virtual comfort zones of stereoscopic 3D devices. This tool addresses the need for visualization ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of chemically modified siRNAs that contain internal azobenzene derivative spacers for selective and tunable photocontrol of activity
(2017-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used as post-transcriptional gene regulators and as a natural endogenous defense against attack from viruses. These molecules hold a great deal of interest as ...
Genetic sun shadow positioning model for digital forensics
(2017-11-07)
Extensively growing a set of methodologies to collect, provide, and analyze geoinformation in this decade. While due to the privacy concerns or elevated consideration, only less than half of videos and pictures bring ...
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 ...
An examination of interacting residues in the GABA-gated ion channel UNC-49 within the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
(2017-10-01)
Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals around the world, including those with significant economic importance such as cattle, sheep, and goats. UNC-49 is a GABA-gated ...
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 ...
Exploring game analytics solutions for data-driven user research in indie studios
(2017-08-01)
User research methodologies can be applied to games for the purposes of evaluating and improving them. Performing user testing during game development can highlight issues in gameplay early on, generally improving the end ...
Using consumer-grade brain-computer interface devices to capture and detect unaware facial recognitions
(2017-08-01)
The brain's natural reaction to viewing and processing faces in an aware manner
is an area of research that has been explored for previously, however the brain's
unaware reactions to these stimuli prove to be fairly less ...
Assessing the use of DNA expert evidence, by justice system participants, in Ontario criminal courts
(2017-08-01)
What happens to forensic DNA opinion evidence when the expert witness is not present in the courtroom? Research addressing this issue has largely been focused on polling lawyers regarding their perceptions of DNA evidence, ...
The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNAs that contain internal modified alkyl spacers
(2014-08-01)
The ability to silence genes effectively at the pre-translational level through the use of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) has become a widely studied area since the discovery of the RNA interference pathway in ...
