Toward assessing and improving the protective efficacy of Canadians’ interrogation rights: misinformation and caution comprehension
(2022-08-01)
The right to silence and right to counsel serve to protect detainees facing the power imbalance of police interrogation. Unfortunately, research indicates people are misinformed about their rights and struggle to comprehend ...
Assessing nearshore water quality and biological condition in the Kawartha Lakes using a community science approach
(2022-08-01)
The Kawartha Lakes, located in south-central Ontario, are a popular tourist destination, with a growing permanent resident population. Consequently, land development in its watersheds continues, and the specific land-use ...
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 ...
Design and development of an autonomous flying excavator platform using a drone
(2022-09-01)
In this research, a drone-based excavation platform prototype is presented with the primary goals of balancing stability during excavation, sensing, and excavating the soil pile autonomously without human intervention. ...
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 real-time 12-lead electrocardiogram remote patient monitoring and analytics framework
(2022-10-01)
This work presents XBeats: A machine learning-based framework for real-time electrocardiogram monitoring and analysis that uses edge computing and data analytics for early anomaly detection. The framework encompasses a ...
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
(2022-12-01)
During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
