Design and development of a novel DC/DC bidirectional converter with dual solar/PV-based snow removal and EV charging functionality
(2022-02-01)
Different factors affect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by decreasing input energy and reducing the conversion efficiency of the system. One of these factors is the effect of snow cover on PV panels, a subject lacking ...
A structured approach to assessing the suitability of clinical gold standards for use in computational decision support algorithm development
(2022-01-01)
Advanced decision support diagnostic algorithm use in medicine is being hampered by the problem that high quality evidence is not available to support adoption. The strongest evidence for a diagnostic tool is obtained from ...
Clustering analysis of lock contention fault types using run-time performance metrics for java intrinsic locks
(2022-02-01)
Locks are essential in java-based multi-threaded applications as this mechanism provides a proper solution to synchronizing shared resources. However, improper management of locks and threads can lead to contention; as a ...
Detecting road boundaries and drivable regions in challenging weather conditions
(2022-02-01)
Road detection is a core component of self-driving vehicle perception, where it covers detecting road boundaries and drivable road regions. It can also help human drivers to drive safely in lower visibility. The majority ...
Parsing genetic models
(2022-01-01)
Applications of computer vision have seen great success recently, yet there are few approaches dealing with visual illustrations. We propose a collection of computer vision applications for parsing genetic models. Genetic ...
Development of conformal reconfigurable metamaterial-based antennas
(2022-01-01)
Antennas are vital components of any wireless communication device. There has been a wide demand for novel flexible and reconfigurable wireless devices as a result of the rising user applications. This thesis presents the ...
The online identity development of Indo-Caribbean women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)
(2022-04-01)
The severe lack of systematically collected race-based data in Canada contributes to the Canadian field of education’s failure to meet the needs of its increasingly diverse demographic of students, resulting in their ...
A framework for anomalous activity analysis for intrusion detection with applications to IoT networks
(2022-04-01)
Computer systems have become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently attracted considerable attention in the information technology industry due to its various benefits. IoT activities ...
Retrospective assessment of human exposures to low dose ionizing radiation using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry with tooth enamel
(2022-04-01)
This study collected the extracted teeth from people of different ages in the Durham region and analyzed them using the X-band CW EPR spectroscopy. The total dose rate from the natural and anthropogenic sources was 1.9721 ...
Enablers and barriers of suicide risk assessments in inpatient and emergency department settings: a scoping review
(2022-04-01)
According to past mental health reports, the occurrence of suicide within inpatient healthcare facilities ranges between 1.0–4.5/1000 patients amongst North American, European, Australian and Chinese hospitals each year. ...
