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 ...
Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
(2020-08-01)
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint ...
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”, ...
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 ...
Analysis and mitigation of the impacts of integrating fast-charging stations on the voltage fluctuations
(2020-10-01)
As the number of electric vehicles increases, fast charging becomes a necessity in the electric service stations; not only to reduce the charging and waiting times for electric vehicles whether in service or in a queue, ...
Impact of terrorism awareness training on civilian likelihood to report pre-incident behaviours
(2020-08-01)
This study investigated whether terrorism awareness training impacts the likelihood to report pre-incident behaviours associated with terrorism using infographics from the U.S. “See Something, Say Something” campaign. ...
Interfaces for alternatives, difference visualizations and collaborative authoring of behavior trees
(2020-12-01)
A visual behavior authoring framework for exploring and comparing multiple game AI behavior alternatives is presented. A mixed method study revealed participants rated it higher compared to the control framework. Mostly ...
Investigation of KimiaNet's and DenseNet's deep features in lung cancer subtypes
(2020-12-01)
Deep neural networks (DNN) have extended applications in the _eld of digital pathology. One of which is to act as feature extractors for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate ...
Exploring the factors that influence equitable access to and social participation in dementia care programs by foreign-born population living in Toronto and Durham Region
(2020-04-01)
The purpose of this study was to explore the barriers that influence participation and utilization of dementia care and support programs by the foreign-born population. A qualitative interpretive study was conducted using ...
Laterality effects in sub-clinical neck pain examined in goal-directed upper limb aiming movements
(2020-09-01)
Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is defined as recurrent pain and stiffness in the neck for which individuals have not yet sought treatment. Prior studies have shown that individuals with SCNP have altered cerebellar processing. ...
