Intracellular calcium ion ([Ca2+]i) is a messenger that regulates many cellular functions, and contributes to many biochemical cell processes. The measurement of calcium allows us to examine the…

The recent success of deep neural networks largely relies on their significant capacity to learn meaningful representations. A large number of parameters store the experience learned from the…

Divergent series enjoyed a period of free and easy use in the eighteenth century. This was somewhat curtailed in the early nineteenth century even though interesting applied problems were solved…

Road accidents, predominantly caused by human errors like distracted or drunk driving, are significant threats to transportation safety. Autonomous vehicles, using classical approaches like the Pure…

We introduce the task of localizing a flexible number of objects in real-world 3D scenes using natural language descriptions. Existing 3D visual grounding tasks focus on localizing a unique object…

Units of Measure is a large-scale colour swatch composed of 192 vacuum formed panels made from the disassembled parts of a model toy car. Each panel is painted a unique colour and is assigned a name…

Over the last decade, deep learning has shown great success at performing computer vision tasks, including classification, super-resolution, and style transfer. Now, we apply it to data compression…

This project investigates the influence of offensive and defensive penalties on score differentials and drive outcomes in the NFL, incorporating various factors that could affect game dynamics.…

Two Datasets for research manuscript "Alerting does occur in compound visual search but only at the optimal SOA".

In the aviation industry, pilot training is paramount, necessitating robust and precise assessment methodologies. Despite the shift towards Competency-based Training and Assessment (CBTA) recommended…

Double-crested (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Pelagic Cormorants (P. pelagicus) nest colonially on cliffs and offshore islets. In the Salish Sea, a shift from natural sites to bridges has occurred.…

This thesis explores the utility of elemental geochemistry obtained through x-ray fluorescence as a sea-level indicator. Elemental data of modern salt marsh sediment from Port Alberni, British…

In the book publishing industry, "author care" is an integral component of author–editor relationships. However, the concept is tenuously defined and rather slippery to grasp—those who work…

This thesis identifies key factors influencing client experiences and participation with a community-based self-supported management (SSM) intervention for adult depression in Vietnam. Using…

This thesis argues that Asian diasporic cultural production, beyond its representational value, is a manifestation of affective migrant home-building that contributes to our understanding of the…
