Functionalized carbon surfaces for clean electrochemical energy systems
(2022-03-01)
The development and implementation of clean energy technologies is the way to overcome the global energy crisis and reduce pollution. Therefore, new energy solutions are rapidly needed. Fuel cells (FCs) may become one such ...
Forward and reverse genetic approaches to investigate cellulose biosynthesis in Physcomitrium patens
(2021-04-01)
Cellulose biosynthesis is a common feature of land plants and involves multimeric complexes composed of cellulose synthase A (CESA) proteins and other structural proteins. The exact stoichiometry of CESA proteins and ...
Synthesis, characterization and biological investigation of self-delivering and modified short interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
(2021-07-01)
Aberrant gene expression is a hallmark of disease, so it is of great interest to develop targeted therapies that provide a means to regulate gene expression. The RNA interference pathway serves as a natural defense system ...
Assessing nearshore water quality and biological condition in the Kawartha Lakes using a community science approach
(2022-08-01)
The Kawartha Lakes, located in south-central Ontario, are a popular tourist destination, with a growing permanent resident population. Consequently, land development in its watersheds continues, and the specific land-use ...
Integrated traffic analysis and visualization for future road events
(2023-04-01)
The existing traffic simulation methods are limited to specific synthetic scenarios. In addition, the natural structure of traffic and accident data requires modeling the dependent observations on multiple levels. Therefore, ...
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)
Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ...
Calculating thermochemical equilibrium for multiphysics simulations of nuclear materials : development of yellowjacket gibbs energy minimiser
(2022-11-01)
Nuclear fuels and structural materials are highly complex systems that are remarkably challenging to understand and model. Material behaviours are influenced by multiple physical phenomena such as mechanics, chemistry, ...
Leveraging vehicular cloud computing through location and request prediction
(2023-04-01)
In recent years, the implementation of Vehicular Ad-hoc networks (VANET) has been acknowledged as a promising solution for monitoring road conditions. Despite the many benefits they can bring to society, the growing demand ...
Opportunities for the deep neural network method of solving partial differential equations in the computational study of biomolecules driven through periodic geometries
(2022-08-01)
As deep learning emerged in the 2010s to become a groundbreaking technology in machine vision and natural language processing, it also ushered in many new algorithms for use in scientific research. Among these is the neural ...
Agent-based modeling framework for adaptive cyber defence of the Internet of Things
(2022-12-01)
The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to increase significantly, introducing unique challenges and threats to cybersecurity. In parallel, adaptive and autonomous cyber defence has become an emerging research ...
