Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
(2020-06-01)
Most research in the Lake Simcoe watershed (LSW) has focused on how the lake has responded to changes in nutrients sourced by agriculture, particularly after mitigation measures have been put in place to remedy the lake’s ...
Characterization of the ACC-1 Family of cys-loop ligand gated ion channels from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
(2020-12-01)
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been extensively studied for decades because of their role in current anthelmintic action and potential as targets for future drugs. Many families of cys loop receptors ...
A method to detect and represent temporal patterns from time series data and its application for analysis of physiological data streams
(2020-03-01)
In critical care, complex systems and sensors continuously monitor patients’ physiological features such as heart rate, respiratory rate thus generating significant amounts of data every second. This results to more than ...
A graph-based real-time spatial sound framework
(2020-01-01)
Given the importance of sound, and our ability to localize sound sources in three-dimensions in the real world, incorporating spatial sound in virtual environments can help increase realism, improve the sense of “presence”, ...
Comparing exercise responses to high intensity interval training between adults with and without asthma
(2020-06-01)
Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs in response to high ventilations during exercise, which cools and dries the airways, triggering an inflammatory cascade. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated ...
Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
Soft-switched, active-clamped DC/AC and AC/AC converters for IPT-based wireless charging applications
(2020-09-01)
The acquisition of inductive power transfer (IPT) technology in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) alleviates the inherent burdens of high cost, limited driving range, and long charging time. In EV wireless charging systems ...
A contextual authentication framework for smart home environments
(2020-04-01)
A smart home is one equipped with connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that can be remotely accessed and controlled. Access to smart home devices is mostly achieved through smartphones and tablet computers, but this ...
Development and modeling of a lab-scale integrated copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(2020-08-01)
Hydrogen is one of the most important energy carriers, clean fuels, and storage media in the upcoming future. Hydrogen production through the thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle is one of the most promising methods ...
Adaptive serious games for computer science education
(2020-10-01)
Serious games have the potential to effectively engage students to learn, however, these games tend to struggle accommodating learners with diverse abilities and needs. Furthermore, customizing a serious game to the ...
