A novel deep learning architecture and large-scale benchmark for robust object detection in traffic surveillance and analysis
(2022-12-01)
Upstream technologies such as traffic surveillance provide helpful information to downstream intelligent transportation systems intending to improve the safety, mobility, and efficiency of road-users whilst reducing their ...
Anodic alcohol fuel cell reactions at platinum active sites on doped metal oxide supports
(2022-12-01)
Fuel cells produce electrical energy via chemical reactions, which take place on the carbon supported platinum catalyst (Pt/C). As attractive as these devices may seem, their practicality is often limited by the functionality ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
#RodneyReed: a content and thematic analysis of a trending innocence campaign
(2022-12-01)
Having spent 23 years (and counting) on death row for a murder conviction which is believed to be wrongful, Rodney Reed’s innocence campaign was shared on social media by celebrities, news organizations, and the public ...
“I decided to change the world”: a case study on three girls’ perceived abilities in STEM
(2022-12-01)
This qualitative, case-study research is intended to contribute to the literature about the factors that influence young girls to envision themselves as individuals who are valued and capable in the realm of STEM. Through ...
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 ...
Gendered pathways: family violence as a primary pathway into homelessness for women
(2022-08-01)
This thesis analyzes secondary data from a study done on 30 homeless men and women in a region in Southern Ontario to assess the gendering of homeless pathways between each group. Qualitative and quantitative methods were ...
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)
Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ...
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
Unified processing of natural language and relational data
(2022-09-01)
This work outlines a method for performing natural language tasks as part of a relational framework. Utilizing features of PostgreSQL as a relational database and its extensibility to allow for word embedding without leaving ...
