A dynamic visual analytics framework for complex temporal environments
(2016-08-01)
Introduction: Data streams are produced by sensors that sample an external system at a periodic interval. As the cost of developing sensors continues to fall, an increasing number of data stream acquisition systems have ...
Analysis of resistance nodulation division efflux pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2015-01-01)
Strains from Canadian hospitals were classified as A. baumannii, A. pitti, or A. osocomialis and the most commonly expressed resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pump was adeFGH. A collection of A. baumannii isolates ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes cognitive function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals
(2017-12-01)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating disease characterized by low mood, memory deficits, poor sleep quality and alterations in biochemical markers associated with neuroplasticity. Less than half of MDD patients ...
The effect of experimental pain on neural function and motor learning
(2017-04-01)
This thesis investigated whether acute experimental pain interacts with motor learning acquisition to create adaptive and maladaptive changes in neural function. The first study consisted of two experiments where we ...
Determining the impact of carrion decomposition on soil microbial activity levels and community composition.
(2013-12-01)
The ubiquitous nature of microorganisms and their specificity to certain locations make them potentially useful for forensic investigators. Advances in microbial profiling techniques have made it possible to compare microbial ...
A secure and privacy-preserving incentive framework for vehicular cloud
(2018-04-01)
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) plays a critical role in data generation where a large number of vehicles collect various kinds of sensing resources with large-volume features. While the information that should be collected ...
Towards measuring privacy
(2015-04-01)
The acceptable threshold for privacy is an individual choice, informed by culture, tradition and experience. That it is important, conversely, is self-evident. We use it to moderate personal information disclosure, how ...
An anomaly detection model utilizing attributes of low powered networks, IEEE 802.15.4e/TSCH and machine learning methods
(2019-12-01)
The rapid growth in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communication standards has enabled a new generation of applications based on ultra-low powered wireless sensor networks. These are employed in many ...
Dynamic square patterns in two dimensional neural fields
(2015-07-29)
The goal of this thesis is to study the emergence of spatiotemporal waves in neural field models. Neural field models aim to describe the activity of populations of neurons at a mesoscopic scale, considering averaged ...
CORE: a framework for the automatic repair of concurrency bugs
(2015-01-01)
Desktop computers now contain 2, 4 or even 8 processors. To benefit from them programs must be written to work in parallel. If writing good code is hard, writing good parallel code is much harder. Parallelization adds ...
