the analysis of canada's health through social media using machine learning
(2019)real-time online data processing is quickly becoming an essential tool in the analysis of social media for political trends, advertising, public health awareness programs and policy making. traditionally, processes ... -
non-destructive testing to monitor the strength increase of electrokinetically treated soil
(2018)electrokinetics in geotechnical engineering is used to increase the shear strength of soft soils and the load carrying capacity of piles embedded in these soils. this is achieved by decreasing the water content of the soil ... -
pathogen-host omics analyses of human papillomavirus type 16 sub-lineages in a human epithelial organoid model
(2019)pathogens such as human papillomaviruses (hpvs) have co-evolved with their hosts and form a molecular basis for common diseases. persistent infection with the “high-risk” hpv type 16 (hpv16) is a potent cause of anogenital ... -
sedimentology and geochemistry of the 2.93 ga basinal facies of the red lake carbonate platform
(2019)the mesoarchean red lake carbonate platform is the oldest (~2.93 ga) known carbonate platform on earth. it is comprised of a variety of chemical sedimentary rocks including: limestone, dolostone, chert, oxide iron formation, ... -
movement, resource use, and life history strategies of black bay walley (sander vitreus)
(2019)resource distribution across the landscape can drive movement strategy selection, from sedentary to highly mobile individuals. when paired with other forms of analysis, movement ecology can provide insight into the resource ... -
catastrophe theory, symmetry breaking and the pseudo jahn-teller effect
(2019)this research focuses on the structural symmetry breaking observed in hypovalent silicon containing compounds. the structural symmetry breaking was studied from the perspective of the pseudo jahn-teller effect (pjte). a ... -
from social media to expert reports: automatically validating and extending complex conceptual models using machine learning approaches
(2019)given the importance of developing accurate models of any complex system, the modeling process often seeks to be comprehensive by including experts and community members. while many qualitative modeling processes can ... -
use of semantic, syntactic and sentiment features to automate essay evaluation
manual grading of essays by humans is time-consuming and likely to be susceptible to inconsistencies and inaccuracies. mostly performed within an academic institution, the task at hand is to grade hundreds of submitted ... -
effects of kno3 and nah2po4 on lipid synthesis and caco3 accumulation in pleurochrysis carterae and newly identified algal shell coccolith structure
(2019)due to the limited energy reserves and the increasing demand for energy, a large number of greenhouse gases such as co2 have been released to the air. therefore, there is an urgent need to find new sources of energy and ... -
investigation and optimization of group iii-n semiconductor thin-film growths using dc nitrogen plasma
(2019)the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 remote plasma-enhanced metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (rpe-mocvd) reactor utilizes nitrogen plasma to provide the required nitrogen species in group iii-n semiconductor material growth. ... -
organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. other ring systems, especially those lacking at least c2v symmetry are much less common. we investigated thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ... -
evaluating consumer grade uavs and their potential applications and implications in ontario consulting archaeology
(2019)archaeological investigation is an inherently destructive process that threatens permanent data loss if archaeological sites are inadequately recorded. while archaeologists strive to develop innovative methods to ensure ... -
the influence of water table fluctuation on hydrarch succession in two subarctic peatlands in eastern james bay, quebec
(2019)northern peatlands contain close to one-third of the world’s soil carbon and changes to their ecology and hydrology play a major role in the fate of these carbon stocks and the direction of their climate feedbacks. recent ... -
barren-ground caribou - a cyclic species: the development of a cycle-stratified harvest model and a cycle analysis of north american barren-ground caribou subpopulations
(2019)unlike all other members of the deer family, subpopulations of barren-ground caribou (rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) exhibit fluctuations in numbers that have been described as cyclic. we created a cyclic individual-based ... -
