Quantifying the impact of Twitter activity in political battlegrounds
(2022)
It may be challenging to determine the reach of the information, how well it corresponds with
the domain design, and how to utilize it as a communication medium when utilizing social
media platforms, notably Twitter, to ...
Fostering greater equity and inclusion with plant-based food options in school: a critical inquiry with elementary parents in the Lakehead District School Board
(2022)
While there has been increasing attention to equity and inclusion in Ontario schools,
school food and drink offerings have yet to be explicitly incorporated in most equity and
inclusion policies and practices. With the ...
Influence of building neighbors on wind flow around a tall building
(2022)
This thesis focuses on how building neighbors influence wind flow around a tall building. The
wake dynamics and flow structures around a tall building are first explored using Large Eddy
Simulations (LES). Following this, ...
Performance-based fragility and resilience assessment of coastal bridges subjected to extreme wave loads
(2022)
Bridges are vulnerable to severe damage due to extreme wave-induced loads from natural
disasters, including storm surges, tsunamis, and hurricanes. The frequency of these hazards has
been increasing recently as a direct ...
Concrete structure damage classification and detection using convolutional neural network
(2022)
A resilient infrastructure system remains a top priority for Canada as it is hinged to strong
economies. Corrosion, ageing, aggressive environments, material defects, and unforeseen
mechanical loads can compromise the ...
Pore-scale modelling of electrochemically reactive flow
(2022)
Electrochemistry, a field revolving around charge transport, is omnipresent in our every-day life.
It is found in batteries, water treatment, medicine, and food processing, to name a few. Water
dissolves more substances ...
Boosting feature extraction performance on the aspect of representation learning efficiency
(2022)
Machine learning is famous for its automatic data handling. While there is a
slow growth in the performance of the state-of-the-art models in the most recent
well-known learning frameworks, the number of parameters and ...
Low CO2 methanol by methane pyrolysis in catalytic liquid metal bubble reactor
(2022)
Methanol production based on methane pyrolysis presents an opportunity for CO2 utilization
and lower CO2 emissions than traditional methanol production processes that are based on
methane reforming. This research employs ...
Enhancing machine vision using human cognition from EEG analysis
(2022)
Visual classification is the perceptible/computational effort of arranging objects and visual
contexts into distinct labels. Humans and machines have mastered this advanced problem in
their own varied contexts. However, ...
Fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill under curing pressure
(2022)
Due to the rapid strength acquisition rate, relatively high solid content, and sustainable reuse of
waste tailings, cement paste backfill (CPB) technology has gradually become a standard practice
in underground mining ...
