Single magnetic resonance image super-resolution using generative adversarial network
(2022-08-01)
Super-Resolution is the process of converting given low-resolution images into corresponding high-resolution ones. The resolution enhancement process applied to medical images can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy ...
Design of dust-filtering algorithms for LiDAR sensors in off-road vehicles using the AI and non-AI methods
(2022-08-01)
The performance of Lidar sensors degrades in the presence of dust. These particles can impact sensor measurements and cause robot perception algorithms to misinterpret data. This thesis proposes two distinct dust filtering ...
Energy management of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy system for fast charging station
(2022-07-01)
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Due to this, electric vehicles (EVs) have become popular as it reduces emissions significantly. Despite this significance, EVs ...
Design optimization of articulated vehicles with autonomous steering control
(2022-08-01)
Human driver errors cause about 94% of traffic collisions. To increase the safety of road vehicles, extensive studies have been conducted on developing autonomous driving technologies. However, little attention has been ...
Designing a framework for an online collaborative grant writing course in international development: a review of the literature and grant writing resources
(2022-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to review the literature and to develop a comprehensive framework for designing an online collaborative grant writing course for professionals in international development. A systematic approach ...
Reimagining assessment and evaluation in Ontario’s K-12 schools
(2022-08-01)
This study explores the provincial document of Growing Success (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010) for Ontario’s K-12 schools, interrogates recent literature since 2010, and examines the current themes that emerged ...
Response of salivary IL-8 to prolonged and interrupted sitting
(2022-08-01)
The effect of prolonged sitting on inflammation, as determined by cytokine profiles, is relatively unexplored. The purpose of this work was to determine the reliability of salivary IL-8 (CXCL8) and the response of IL-8 to ...
The impact of thin(ner) slicing on deception detection
(2022-08-01)
I examined whether the length of thin slices (i.e., observations of behavior less than five minutes) affected deception detection. Participants (N = 262) were randomly assigned to one of seven exposure length conditions ...
Connecting neoliberal ideology and incel ideology
(2022-08-01)
Incels are an online transgressive subculture holding misogynistic views of women, including the belief that women unfairly refuse them sex. While there have been few heinous physical attacks by individuals self-identifying ...
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)
Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ...
