The social determinants of health related to the increased prevalence and risk of diabetes among South Asians in Canada
(2021-11-01)
There continues to be a high prevalence and risk for diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D) among South Asians in Canada compared to the general population. Majority of current research continues to take biomedical and ...
A systematic review of the literature examining the use and application of robots and artificial intelligence for assisted living for persons living with dementia
(2021)
Introduction: This review aims to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technologies can enhance quality of life (QOL) outcomes in persons living with dementia (PLD).
Methods: A systematic literature search ...
The quantum and electromagnetic process of photon emission by the hydrogen atom
(Physics Essay, 2021-04-07)
Light emitted from atoms during transitions of electrons from higher to lower discrete
states has the form of photons carrying energy and angular momentum. This paper considers the
process of emission of a single photon ...
Development and characterization of chemical modifications for siRNA strand selection
(2021-12-01)
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are non-coding, double-stranded RNA that enable efficient gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. The primary effector of RNAi is an RNA-guided nuclease, Ago2, which selects ...
Deep learning for islanding detection of grid-connected photovoltaic systems
(2021-01-01)
Over the past decade, the integration of renewable-based distribution energy resources within the smart distribution system has been steadily growing. Despite the numerous advantages of integrating these renewable energy ...
Forward and reverse genetic approaches to investigate cellulose biosynthesis in Physcomitrium patens
(2021-04-01)
Cellulose biosynthesis is a common feature of land plants and involves multimeric complexes composed of cellulose synthase A (CESA) proteins and other structural proteins. The exact stoichiometry of CESA proteins and ...
Design of broad-band dual-polarized microstrip patch antennas with high port isolation for millimeter-wave 5G applications
(2021-01-01)
In this thesis, multiple broadband dual linearly polarized antennas are designed covering the frequency band for the next generation of 5G communications around 28 GHz. Dual polarization antennas are employed to increase ...
MAVIDS: an intelligent intrusion detection system for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles
(2021-07-01)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) face a large threat landscape, being used in numerous industries in hostile environments while relying on wireless communication. As attacks against UAVs increase, an intelligent Intrusion ...
A study of a novel design for efficient hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle
(2021-06-01)
In this thesis, methods to optimize the Hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical Hydrogen production cycle were investigated. A simplified Hydrolysis reactor using simple off-the-shelf components was tested and found ...
Synthesis, characterization and biological investigation of self-delivering and modified short interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
(2021-07-01)
Aberrant gene expression is a hallmark of disease, so it is of great interest to develop targeted therapies that provide a means to regulate gene expression. The RNA interference pathway serves as a natural defense system ...
