A descriptive analysis of antipsychotic prescribing patterns for patients admitted to hospital with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia
(2023-12-01)
Treatment with antipsychotic medication is recognized as the standard treatment for patients with schizophrenia. While evidence-based recommendations have been made on antipsychotic prescribing patterns for patients with ...
Silence of the fish: injection of photoswitchable short interfering RNA oligonucleotides into Japanese medaka embryos (oryzias latipes) to photochemically control gene silencing
(2023-12-01)
The siRNA duplex functions by binding to and cleaving mRNA, a process known as the RNAi pathway. Existing siRNAs face challenges such as off-target effects and unpredictable prolonged gene-silencing. To address these issues, ...
The identification of novel cys-loop receptor genes in Dirofilaria immitis
(2023-10-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a parasitic nematode responsible for canine heartworm disease. Currently, heartworm treatments rely primarily on a single drug class – the macrocyclic lactones – but anthelmintic resistance is emerging. ...
Guarding the gate: using honeywords to enhance authentication security
(2023-10-01)
A honeyword (false password) can be defined as a duplicate password (rearranged) resembling the same characteristics of the original password. It is very challenging for any cyberpunk to distinguish between a real password ...
Exploring volumetric video & VR on self-efficacy for first aid training - a pilot study
(2023-12-01)
The health profession is currently in a global crisis due to the lack of health professionals, such as nurses and doctors. In response to this ongoing crisis, extended reality is being investigated as a potential modality ...
Identification and characterization novel of cystine-loop ligand- gated chloride channels from Dirofilaria immitis: pharmacological analysis and novel compound screening
(2023-12-01)
Dirofilaria immitis, otherwise known as heartworm, is a parasite that infects the hearts of dogs and causes serious health consequences. While preventative treatments are available drug resistance is developing at an ...
Volunteer educators' perceptions of mentorship involvement: grades 9-12 robotics
(2023-12-01)
As non-educators increasingly support volunteer-based STEM programs, adopting pedagogically aligned mentorship training is required to support developing and retaining subject-specific mentorship practices and volunteer ...
Development and validation of scaled electric combat vehicle virtual model
(2023-11-01)
This research focuses on an 8x8 scaled electric combat vehicle (SECV) and aims to create a virtual model made of the same vehicle on a vehicle dynamics simulation software using parameters from the actual vehicle. In the ...
Youth justice policy implementation – community organizations’ perspective
(2023-10-01)
This dissertation is situated at the intersection of two gaps in Canadian youth justice literature – limited scholarship focused on youth justice community-based organizations (CBOs) and few studies investigating the impact ...
Filtering honeywords using probabilistic context free grammar
(2023-10-01)
With the growing prevalence of cyber threats, effective password policies have become crucial for safeguarding sensitive information. Traditional password-based authentication techniques are open to a number of threats. ...
