The challenges and benefits of assistive technology and educational programs for educators, caregivers, and youth with multiple exceptionalities/special needs
(2023-08-23)
Assistive technology (AT) is a process that provides opportunities for youth with multiple exceptionalities/special needs to learn, grow, and discover meaningful avenues in order to navigate through an evolving digital ...
Effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the freshwater gastropod (Planorbella pilsbryi) in the laboratory and in situ integrating a multi-omic approach
(2023-09-01)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are globally used in consumer and industrial applications. Specifically, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been under scrutiny due to its ...
Coordinated multicast beamforming for multi-cell massive MIMO systems
(2023-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the efficient coordinated multi-cell multicast beamforming design in massive massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks. For the problem that aims to minimize the base station ...
Analysis and techniques of cyberattack types classification in smart grids
(2023-09-01)
The smart electric grids rely on integrating the information and communication technologies (ICT) into the electric power grid infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of information for an enhanced and economic operation. ...
Optimizing electrocardiogram analysis for efficient heart condition diagnosis
(2023-09-01)
This thesis introduces an innovative lead grouping strategy for efficient real-time Electrocardiography signal classification. This method uses a maximum of six leads instead of the traditional 12-lead approach, leading ...
Leveraging vehicular cloud computing through location and request prediction
(2023-04-01)
In recent years, the implementation of Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANET) has been acknowledged as a promising solution for monitoring road conditions. Despite the many benefits they can bring to society, the growing demand ...
The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
Antipsychotic prescribing as a treatment of dementia in British Columbia: physician-level characteristics associated with receiving potentially inappropriate prescriptions
(2023-04-01)
Antipsychotic prescribing has increased. One attribute of this is off-label prescribing of antipsychotics to people with dementia to treat behavioural and psychological symptoms, which is not supported by evidence-informed ...
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)
Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ...
AI Adventure Camp: developing critical thinking and ethical artificial intelligence literacy through design fiction and digital constructionism
(2023-04-01)
Artificial intelligence is an increasingly influential aspect of our lives. From GPS to Siri and Amazon Echoes, our data is collected, stored, and analyzed throughout the day. Despite the ubiquity of AI, most STEM curricula ...
