Triton: a domain specific language for cyber-physical systems
(2021-04-01)
The design of cyber-physical systems is non-trivial and often filled with tedious, error-prone tasks that could be represented in a better way. Engineers often work with low-level languages such as C and C++, with real-time ...
Effect of cutting tool microgeometry when milling hardened steels, a finite element simulation and surface integrity analysis
(2021-01-01)
This research work presents a 3D finite element model for the milling of hardened steels. The model was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software and the Lagrangian approach was utilized. Experimental milling tests were ...
Development of a model to investigate the sustainability of Ontario’s future electricity supply through a dual life cycle lens
(2021-10-01)
Since the turn of the century, greenhouse gas emissions and their climate related impacts have been studied with increased vigor. A tool that has gained popularity in supporting the reduction of emissions is life cycle ...
Group representation learning for group recommendation
(2021-01-01)
Group recommender systems facilitate group decision making for a set of individuals (e.g., a group of friends, a team, a corporation, etc.). Existing group recommendation methods mostly learn group members' individual ...
Youth correctional officer orientation and opinions on relationships with youth
(2021-08-01)
This study explored the personal perspectives of current and past youth correctional officers within secure and open custody facilities in Ontario. A multi-methods design was used to examine officers’ orientation to their ...
On deep learning in physics
(2021-04-01)
Machine learning, and most notably deep neural networks, have seen unprecedented success in recent years due to their ability to learn complex nonlinear mappings by ingesting large amounts of data through the process of ...
Young adults’ understandings of their transition out of the child welfare system
(2021-07-01)
This dissertation examines care leavers’ first-hand experiences of negative outcomes through a theoretical lens. Regardless of multiple, intersecting identities and structural changes, youth in the Ontario child welfare ...
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 ...
Computational methods for medical image registration
(2021-04-01)
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 ...
Influencing motivation to empathize in individuals with heightened psychopathic traits: neural and behavioural assessment of empathizing with others
(2021-08-01)
Central to psychopathy is a purported lack of empathy for others. However, recent literature suggests that the decreased empathic responses of psychopathic individuals may be a result of aberrant motivations, rather than ...
