The effects of rapport building on information disclosure in virtual interviews
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-06-01)
Rapport-building has been identified as an effective tool when interviewing victims and witnesses of events that may be sensitive in nature. The objective of this study was to examine the rapport-building process within a ...
A framework for proactive fault tolerance in cloud-IoT applications
(2022-04-01)
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the cloud has several benefits, including expanding local IoT resources and improving cloud-IoT application performance. Cloud computing can benefit from IoT devices and ...
Modeling and analysis of off-road tire cornering characteristics
(2022-05-01)
Cornering performance characteristics of wheeled vehicles substantially rely on the forces/moments generated from interactions between pneumatic tires and terrains. Accurate models are thus required to predict these ...
Design and evaluation of integrated waste to energy multigenerational systems
(2022-04-01)
This thesis study develops three renewable energy-based waste-to-energy multigeneration systems and examine them thermodynamically and economically. The first system uses solar-based energy and animal manure waste, and the ...
A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
(2022-04-01)
We use a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to design a resource allocation policy for downlink transmit beamforming at a multi-antenna BS that is equipped with a massive number of antennas and ...
A big data and online health analytics framework extended to integrate clinical and countermeasure decision support
(2022-03-01)
Computing frameworks that utilize big data analytics to support Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have proven to impact human lives in applications on Earth and in space. In the application of Space Medicine Decision ...
Design and development of a traction motor emulator using a three-phase bidirectional buck-boost AC-DC converter
(2022-04-01)
An industrial drive testing, with a ‘real-machine’ can pave way, for some serious issues to test-bench, motor, and the operator. A slight disturbance in control logic amid testing, can damage the physical machine or drive. ...
A robust and efficient autonomous exploration methodology of unknown environments for multi-robot systems
(2022-05-01)
Multi-robot systems can provide effective solutions for exploring and inspecting environments where it is unpractical or unsafe for humans, however, adequate coordination of the multi-robot system is a challenging initiative. ...
A framework for anomalous activity analysis for intrusion detection with applications to IoT networks
(2022-04-01)
Computer systems have become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently attracted considerable attention in the information technology industry due to its various benefits. IoT activities ...
Retrospective assessment of human exposures to low dose ionizing radiation using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry with tooth enamel
(2022-04-01)
This study collected the extracted teeth from people of different ages in the Durham region and analyzed them using the X-band CW EPR spectroscopy. The total dose rate from the natural and anthropogenic sources was 1.9721 ...
