Development and comparison of augmented and virtual reality interactions for direct ophthalmoscopy
(2020-10-01)
Direct ophthalmoscopy is a medical procedure whereby a health professional examines the back of the eye, searching for life-threatening risks. The direct ophthalmoscope is used for examining the patient and it requires ...
Effect of copper contamination at the cathode in Cu-Cl electrolyzers for hydrogen production
(2020-04-01)
In this work the effects of copper contamination on the coulombic and voltage efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via the Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle are investigated. A novel proton pump configuration was ...
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 ...
Polymorphic Adversarial DDoS attack on IDS using GAN
(2020-12-01)
IDS are essential components in preventing malicious traffic from penetrating networks. IDS have been rapidly enhancing their detection ability using ML algorithms. As a result, attackers look for new methods to evade the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Understanding the role of aquatic plants in stormwater management pond performance in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
(2020-05-01)
Stormwater Management Ponds (SMPs) are engineered to receive, store, and treat stormwater runoff before it enters receiving waters in urbanizing landscapes. While these systems are not considered natural, they are typically ...
Impact of potato protein supplementation with dietary fermentable materials on immune measures in Sprague-Dawley rats
(2020-09-01)
Bacteria may influence the immune system by fermenting dietary fermentable materials (DFM) that resist digestion and reach the colon intact. This study investigated how resistant protein supplementation could affect the ...
Material properties and mechanical behaviour of large-scale additively manufactured multi-layered steels
(2020-03-01)
Metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing is an additive manufacturing technique based on gas metal arc welding. The systems’ dual nozzle design prints two steels simultaneously; in this study, the test samples are made from ...
