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 ...
Is implementing a provincial e-cigarette tax associated with a lower likelihood of e-cigarette initiation among high school students? Evaluating the experience in British Columbia using data from the COMPASS study, 2018-2021
(2023-04-01)
Background: This study evaluated the impact of an e-cigarette tax in British Columbia (BC) on youth e-cigarette use.
Methods: This study used repeat cross-sectional and longitudinal samples of students attending high ...
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 ...
“I don’t think there’s anything typical about it.” Exploring sleep in families with a child with autism spectrum disorder
(2023-04-01)
Purpose: Sleep is an important mechanism for everyday functioning and childhood development. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have high rates of sleep problems. This interpretive phenomenology-informed ...
Development of the Interview and Interrogation Assessment Instrument
(2023-04-01)
Confession evidence factors heavily in judicial decision making, and courts may call an expert social scientist to assess the coercive pressures of an interrogation and risk factors for false confession. At present, there ...
Design and evaluation of GAN-based models for adversarial training robustness in deep learning
(2023-04-01)
Adversarial attacks show one of the generalization issues of current deep learning models on special distribution shifted data. The adversarial samples generated by the attack algorithm can introduce malicious behavior to ...
Conceptual videos in mathematics: theory to practice
(2023-03-01)
This project begins by providing an overview of the research on the purpose and criteria for creating quality educational videos and the development of a conceptual understanding of proportional reasoning. The paper then ...
Autonomous driving control strategies for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety system
(2023-05-01)
This study aims to develop automated driving strategies and integrated active control system for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) to enhance road transport efficiency, directional performance, and safety. ...
