An integrated big data framework utilizing stream computing to support real-time clinical decision-making in the field of space medicine
(2020-08-01)
Space exploration continues to be one of greatest endeavours of humankind. As manned space exploration extends to deep space, destinations such as the Moon and Mars, technological improvements and scientific advancements ...
Case management for community-dwelling seniors living with frailty: perspectives of case managers
(2020-12-01)
Frailty is a growing health concern in Canada’s aging population. Community-dwelling seniors living with frailty are at an increased risk of adverse health and wellness outcomes. Case management has emerged as a promising ...
Bridging the digital divide: examining the use and access to e-health based technologies by millennials and older adults in Ontario, Canada
(2020-06-01)
The digital divide is the gap between demographics and regions that have access to information communication technologies and those who do not. The older adult generation may not be familiar with e-Health usage, compared ...
Exploring constraints to sport participation among immigrant adolescent girls who reside in the Greater Toronto Area
(2020-03-01)
Rates of sport participation decrease during adolescence, particularly among girls. Although research has documented this decline, it tends to largely ignore diverse samples such as immigrants. This study explored constraints ...
The effects of anaerobic swim ergometer training on sprint performance in adolescent swimmers
(2020-04-01)
The effects of anaerobic training using a swim ergometer on sprint swimming performance have not been investigated in competitive adolescent swimmers. The purpose of this study was to compare 4-weeks of sprint interval ...
An evaluation method for the evaluation of big data based streaming analytic clinical decision support systems
(2020-04-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for evaluating a scalable clinical decision support systems (CDSS) that uses high frequency streaming physiological data using a holistic approach that includes the presence of population ...
Characterization of a carbon source-dependent, phytohormone-responsive, free methionine-(R)-sulfoxide reductase from Komagataeibacter hansenii
(2020-05-01)
Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 is a gram negative, non-pathogenic, acetic acid bacterium, best known for its ability to produce bacterial cellulose (BC). BC, an extracellular polysaccharide, is an important component ...
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
Multi-character prediction using attention
(2020-01-01)
We propose a computational attention approach to localize and classify characters in a sequence in a given image. Our approach combines spatial soft-attention with attention regularization and learns “where-to-look” to ...
Understanding the role of aquatic plants in stormwater management pond performance in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
(2020-05-01)
Stormwater Management Ponds (SMPs) are engineered to receive, store, and treat stormwater runoff before it enters receiving waters in urbanizing landscapes. While these systems are not considered natural, they are typically ...
