QoE aware real-time multimedia streaming in software-defined networks
(2019-08-01)
The exponential increase in bandwidth-sensitive multimedia traffic on the net has given rise to new challenges and services. There is a need to have quality management measures to serve the high needs of efficient transmission ...
Comparative analysis of deep learning and graph cut algorithms for cell image segmentation
(2020-08-01)
Image segmentation is a commonly used technique in digital image processing with many applications in the area of computer vision and medical image analysis. The goal of image segmentation is to partition an image into ...
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ...
Probing the influence of relative humidity and temperature on the sulfonated silica ceramic carbon electrode for PEM fuel cell operation
(2019-05-01)
Operation of fuel cells under low relative humidity (RH) and high temperature is a useful way to cut-down cost and increase performance. However, the Nafion ionomer employed in the electrode of the conventional fuel cells ...
Characterizing Plankton communities in Lake Ontario coastal wetlands along an urban land-use gradient
(2020-04-01)
This thesis presents the results of a study on the effect of habitat condition and water quality on plankton communities across an urban land-use gradient in the Lake Ontario coastal wetlands: Frenchman’s Bay, Lynde Marsh, ...
Understanding the carbon morphology in sulfonated-silica ceramic carbon electrodes for the PEM fuel cell device
(2020-03-01)
Using hydrogen and oxygen gas, the fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Particularly, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, has multiple components, all that are consistently being ...
Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
(2018-12-01)
Simulation-based training is being widely adopted in medical education because it allows exposing trainees to safe and controlled simulated scenarios otherwise impossible to reproduce in real life. Current advances in ...
Exploring design alternatives in game development engines using visual programming
(2019-04-01)
We present BPAlt – a system which allows game developers to create and manage alternatives for Unreal Engine’s Blueprints Visual Scripting System. BPAlt allows the user to create, save, organize and swap Blueprint alternatives ...
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
(2019-08-01)
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact ...
