What lies beneath: an examination of the underlying components of deception detection
(2022-12-01)
Little is known about the underlying components that are responsible for the processes involved with decision-making in deception detection. Throughout this dissertation, I explored previous (mis)conceptions about ...
A novel deep learning architecture and large-scale benchmark for robust object detection in traffic surveillance and analysis
(2022-12-01)
Upstream technologies such as traffic surveillance provide helpful information to downstream intelligent transportation systems intending to improve the safety, mobility, and efficiency of road-users whilst reducing their ...
Impact assessment and mitigation of the effect of cyber-physical attacks on the electric vehicles high-power fast charging stations considering open charge point protocol
(2022-12-01)
Electric Vehicles are on the rise worldwide, and the increasing demand also increases the need for High Power Fast Charging Stations. The deployment of such charging stations dictates the establishment of information and ...
Random Forest-based detection of cyber-attacks in substation automation systems in the context of IEC 61850 GOOSE communication protocol
(2022-12-01)
The development of the Smart Grid aims to improve the operation of the traditional grid through the incorporation of information and communication technology. This is typically done through the integration of communication ...
“I decided to change the world”: a case study on three girls’ perceived abilities in STEM
(2022-12-01)
This qualitative, case-study research is intended to contribute to the literature about the factors that influence young girls to envision themselves as individuals who are valued and capable in the realm of STEM. Through ...
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 ...
Design synthesis of NLMPC-based tracking controller for autonomous vehicles with active aerodynamic control
(2022-12-01)
The past three decades have witnessed extensive studies on tracking-control for autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, there is a lack of studies on effective design methods in this field. To tackle this problem, this thesis ...
Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)
Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ...
Guiding pre-service teachers to making
(2022-12-01)
As our society becomes further driven by technology, schools need to consider adopting student-centered maker pedagogies that harness the capabilities of technology while disrupting traditional teacher-centered learning. ...
Investigation into potential Dirofilaria immitis drug targets through rational anthelmintic synthesis and design
(2022-04-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a mosquito-transmitted parasitic nematode that can cause debilitating disease in dogs. D. immitis is present in Canada and over the years has increased in prevalence due to several factors including ...
