Gallium nitride on low temperature cofired ceramic templates for Schottky junctions
(2021)
In this work aluminum, silicon and zinc oxide were used as intermediate layers for thin
film growth on cofired glass ceramic substrates. The motivation behind this work is a direct
deposition of nitride thin films on the ...
Development of a language model and opinion extraction for text analysis of online platforms
(2021)
Language models are one of the fundamental components in a wide variety of natural language processing tasks. The proliferation of text data over the last two decades and the
developments in the field of deep learning ...
Efficacy of a multimolecular extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue
(2021)
As the genetic basis and gene expression components are being discovered for an increasing
number of diseases and disorders there is a rising interest in using multiomic approaches to
better understand these conditions. ...
Climate change impacts on the health and livelihoods of Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario
(2021)
Climate change is expected to affect people’s health and livelihoods in northern
Indigenous communities more adversely than in others due to existing socio-economic
conditions and direct reliance on the environment to ...
Abundance, transportation, and preservation of Mysis diluviana eDNA in freshwater ecosystems
(2021)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting rare or
invasive species, particularly within the Great Lakes and surrounding aquatic ecosystems.
Recent work has shown that sedimentary eDNA (sedDNA) ...
The effect of sociodemographic and health system factors on the association between multimorbidity and colorectal cancer survival
(2021)
This thesis aimed to assess the effect of multimorbidity (MMB) on colorectal cancer
(CRC) patients’ survival and explored whether sociodemographic and health system factors
affected this relationship or not. This thesis ...
Compact magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound phased array system
(2021)
Phased array ultrasound transducers (Txs) can induce electronically controllable localized
hyperthermia to tissue deep within the human body. This localized heating can be applied to
tumours as an adjunct therapy in ...
Using homophily to analyze and develop link prediction models with deep learning framework
(2021)
Twitter is a prominent social networking platform where users’ short messages or “tweets”
are often used for analysis. However, there has not been much attention paid to mining the
medical professions, such as detecting ...
Study of the activation of the inflammasome protein complex by Haemophilus influenzae Type a
(2021)
Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a gram-negative bacterium capable of causing
severe invasive infection such as meningitis and is classified by the presence or absence
of polysaccharide capsule. The polysaccharide capsule ...
