Response of Stomoxys calcitrans and Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) to Volatile Organic Compound Profiles from Ontario, Canada Dairy Farms
(2019-09-01)
Stomoxys calcitrans are significant pests of dairy and beef cattle livestock facilities. Their seasonal abundance causes damage to the industry in the United States. While similar damage has been documented in Canada, the ...
Spring Stepper: a makerspace controller for seated hands-free locomotion in virtual reality
(2019-12-01)
Natural locomotion is crucial for improving presence in a virtual environment (VE), while also reducing simulator sickness. While research in various areas of virtual reality (VR), such as head-mounted displays (HMD) and ...
The Functionalization of Magnetic Fe3O4@TiO2 by Molecular Motif for the Detection of Mercury (II)
(2019-07-01)
2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine (L) molecular receptor showed strong potential for Hg2+ detection. The chelation through S,N,S was confirmed as a main binding mode of the ligand with Hg2+ ion based on the results of 1H NMR. L ...
Using machine learning methods to aid scientists in laboratory environments
(2019-12-01)
As machine learning gains popularity as a scientific instrument, we look to create methods to implement it as a laboratory tool for researchers. In the first of two projects, we discuss creating a real-time interference ...
DistGALO: Distributed system for query problem determination
(2019-12-01)
Query optimization is a quintessential element of modern Database Management Systems(DBMSs). Compile-time driven estimates and heuristics aid the compiler in selecting what is deemed the lowest cost Access Plan for a given ...
QoE aware real-time multimedia streaming in software-defined networks
(2019-08-01)
The exponential increase in bandwidth-sensitive multimedia traffic on the net has given rise to new challenges and services. There is a need to have quality management measures to serve the high needs of efficient transmission ...
A new method of modelling tuneable lasers with functional composition
(2019-07-01)
A new nonlinear model is proposed for tuneable lasers. Using the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a starting point, expressions for the transformations undergone by the pulse are derived for each of the five ...
An unmanned aerial vehicle-based assessment method for quantifying computer vision models
(2019-04-01)
Computer vision is a growing field in computer science. Since the advancement of Machine learning, Computer vision solutions have been trending. As a result of the growing number of solutions and performance increases in ...
Perpetually playing physics
(2019-08-01)
Here we discuss ideas of reinforcement learning and the importance of various aspects of it. We show how reinforcement learning methods based on genetic algorithms can be used to reproduce thermodynamic cycles without prior ...
