Total knee replacement serious game for surgical education and training
(2012-08-01)
Traditionally, orthopaedic surgical training has primarily taken place in the
operating room. Given the growing trend of decreasing resident work hours in
North America and globally due to political mandate, training time ...
Detection of gasoline from internal tissues for use in determining victim status at the time of a fire
(2012-08-01)
In Ontario, fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) are responsible for determining the origin and cause of suspicious fires. As part of the investigation, fire debris samples are collected from the ...
Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
(2012-12-01)
In this study we investigate the
flow of a Boussinesq
fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ...
Spatial sound and sound localization on a horizontal surface for use with interactive surface (tabletop) computers
(2012-08-01)
Tabletop computers (also known as surface computers, smart tables, and
interactive surface computers) have been growing in popularity for the last decade
and are poised to make in-roads into the consumer market, opening ...
Characterization of xylan degradation systems in streptomyces
(2012-07-01)
Plant biomass serves as a carbon and energy source for Streptomyces spp. which
secrete degradative enzymes capable of breaking down the complex plant biomass into
simple saccharides. Hemicellulose is a major component of ...
Pourbaix diagrams at elevated temperatures: a study of Zn and Sn
(2012-08-01)
Metals in industrial settings such as power plants are often subjected to high
temperature and pressure aqueous environments, where failure to control corrosion
compromises worker and environment safety. For instance, ...
Predicting mutation score using source code and test suite metrics
(2012-09-01)
Mutation testing has traditionally been used to evaluate the effectiveness of test suites
and provide con dence in the testing process. Mutation testing involves the creation of
many versions of a program each with a single ...
Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana cellulose synthase proteins and associated proteins in a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line
(2012-10-01)
Understanding how cellulose synthesis occurs is key to understanding the
formation of the plant cell wall. This understanding could also be key to modifying
cellulose production to permit more efficient extraction of ...
Exploring entities in text with descriptive non-photorealistic rendering
(2012-12-01)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic
rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents
to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Self-healing solutions for LTE evolved packet core
(2012-10-01)
The 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is considered as a dominant future cellular wireless
technology in terms of performance and user experience. With technological advancement of the
wireless networks, dependencies and ...
