Online sequential learning with non-iterative strategy for feature extraction, classification and data augmentation
(2020)Network aims to optimize for minimizing the cost function and provide better performance. This experimental optimization procedure is widely recognized as gradient descent, which is a form of iterative learning that starts ... -
An Ontario approach to urban pest management: a case study for emerald ash borer
(2020)The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect pest that was imported to North America from Asia in packaging materials and shipping containers. It first became established in Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario in ... -
Ontario elementary school teachers perceptions' of the daily physical activity policy
(2010)The purpose of this study is to explore Ontario elementary school teachers’ perceptions of the Daily Physical Activity (DPA) policy. The DPA policy was developed to help combat the increasing levels of inactivity and ... -
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Hearst District thermal regime stream assessment
(2002)Forest ecosystems today are continually under pressure from a variety of special interests including timber operations. A goal of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to aid natural ecosystems by providing forest ... -
Ontario teachers' reasons for choosing to teach outside Canada
(2001)This study examines the factors that influence Ontario teachers’ decisions to teach outside Canada. Deciding factors were derived from previous studies related to career choice and career change and involved concepts ... -
Ontogeny of the fetal immune response to maternal smoking in relation to allergic asthma
(2001)The relationship between maternal smoking and the prenatal origins of allergic disease was studied in 78 mothers (in Thunder Bay, Ontario) and their newborns with a sensitive test for interleukin-4, interferon-y, and ... -
Ontological approach for searching multi datasource web services
(2006)This thesis addresses the issue of Web Service search. This thesis focuses on solving the problem of searching for Web Services which are associated with relatively similar datasources. It attempts to overcome the search ... -
Ontology development for drug-disease knowledge management
(2013-02-03)Traditionally, physicians rely on medical knowledge learned or acquired through practice to make a correct decision in diagnosis of diseases and affected medications. Progress in knowledge base systems and related Information ... -
Ontology-based modelling of stroke clinical pathways
(2020)Healthcare spending in Canada is on the rise. One method to reduce healthcare spending is to reduce length of stay (LOS). Clinical Pathways (CPs) are one recommended management technique to reduce LOS. CPs are implementations ... -
Open Access Publishing in the Social Sciences and Humanities in Canada
(2016)The publishing practices of scientists and academics have profound effects on the way that science and academia internally progress and influence external public debates. The culmination of empirical, theoretical, and ... -
Operant conditioning of spitting behaviour in the archer fish (Toxotes jaculator)
(1989)The archer fish, Toxotesjaculator, has the ability to knock insects out of the air by spitting at them. Although many studies have been done using the archer fish, it has never been considered from the operant conditioning ... -
Opportunities for character development in multi-cultural settings
(2018)This dissertation explores character development opportunities in for first-generation Nepali immigrant students, as exemplified in Ontario public school classrooms. The theoretical framework for this dissertation is derived ... -
Optical determination of metal-semiconductor Schottky barriers
(1982)The photovoltage produced by a Schottky barrier photocell shows a strong temperature dependence if the barrier is not too large. We have used this temperature dependence to obtain the barrier height for several ... -
Optical spectroscopy of colon tissue and a breast cancer cell line : potential for cancer detection
(2004)Two forms of cancer affecting a large number of individuals are breast cancer and colon cancer. In 2003, it was projected that approximately 21000 Canadians would be diagnosed with breast cancer and another 18000 would ... -
Optically-excited excitonic states in semiconductor superlattices
(2002)An efficient method for calculation of the exciton states in type-I superlattices is developed and demonstrated. The model, based on the work of Dignam & Sipe [Phys. Rev. B 43,4097 (1991)], includes bound and quasi-continuous ... -
Optimal black spruce seed sources for anticipated future climates
(2020)Climate change is occurring at an increasingly rapid pace. Many tree species, even those with wide seed dispersal and high genetic variability, are long-lived and unable to “keep pace” with these shifting climates. The ... -
Optimal trajectory control of series resonant converter
(2001)Resonant power converters have gained increased attention in industry due to various advantages over conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) converters. Resonant converters have improved transient response, reduced ... -
