A mixed-method approach to analyze the robustness of natural language processing classifiers
(2021-04-01)
Natural language processing algorithms (NLP) have become an essential approach for processing large amounts of textual information with applications such as spam, phishing and content moderation. Malicious actors can craft ...
The synthesis and in vivo evaluation of chemically modified siRNAs that contain red-shifted internal azobenzene derivative spacers for selective and tunable photocontrol of activity without UV light
(2021-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used for post-transcriptional gene regulation and act as endogenous defenses against attack from viruses and dsRNA parasites. The siRNA field is making advances for ...

A significant amount of research has been dedicated to the improvement of techniques in the field of medical image analysis. Imaging modalities have been improved and new acquisition methods have been introduced to reveal ...
Investigating the distribution of Nitellopsis obtusa in Ontario Lakes and its role as an ecosystem engineer
(2021-08-01)
Nitellopsis obtusa is a non-native macrophyte introduced into the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1974. Over the last decade, increasing reports emerged for N. obtusa within lakes in the Great Lakes Basin. Despite N. obtusa being ...
A modular interface framework for multimodal annotations and visualizations in Human-AI collaboration
(2021-07-01)
Modular is a web-based annotation, visualization, and inference software plat-form for computational language and vision research. The platform enables researchers to set up an interface for efficiently annotating language ...
Investigation of the ultrasonic based hydrogen production process: Sonohydrogen
(2021-04-01)
The present work carries out various sets of numerical investigations to link the primary effect of the acoustic parameters with the secondary effect of developing a chemical reaction mechanism for water vapor dissociation ...
Investigation and assessment of the integrated copper chlorine cycle for hydrogen production with a new separation process
(2021-08-01)
The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel is anticipated to have a major impact on the development of the environmentally benign generation of energy. At present, a significant portion of hydrogen generation is based on ...
Integrated chassis control strategies for multi-wheel combat vehicle
(2021-11-01)
Combat vehicles are exposed to high risks due to their high ground clearance and nature of operation in harsh environments. This requires robust stability controllers to cope with the rapid change and uncertainty of driving ...
Power efficient designs for 5G wireless networks
(2021-01-01)
In this dissertation, to step forward towards green communication, we study power efficient solutions in three potential 5G wireless networks, namely an asynchronous multicarrier two-way Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay ...
Additive manufactured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(2021-08-01)
In this thesis, the focus is on using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method to manufacture functional biodegradable nanocomposite Polymeric Bone Tissue Scaffolds (PBTS). PBTSs are complex products, which have attracted ...
