Deep Learning-Based Stacking Neural Network and Generative Adversarial Networks for Human Activity Recognition Based on Ambient Sensors
(2021-01-28)Smart home for healthcare services has acquired more attention since the increasing development of the Internet of Things and the population ageing over the world. Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of the concerns ... -
Deep Learning? Investigating Student’s Perceptions of Educational and Occupational Skills for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
(2020-08-20)The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key factor driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Like industrial revolutions of the past, it will have a profound effect on jobs, the kinds of skills needed to fill ... -
Deep Neural Network (DNN) Design: The Utilization of Approximate Computing and Practical Considerations for Accuracy Evaluation
(2021-08-04)Approximate computing is emerging as a viable way to achieve significant performance enhancement in terms of power, speed, and area for system on chip (SoC) designs. Utilizing approximate computing in the design of deep ... -
Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Admission Control for Throughput Maximization in Mobile Edge Computing
(2021-09-02)With the development of wireless network technologies, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has been proposed as a solution for mobile devices’ high-complexity computation. Technically, with MCC, mobile devices’ high-complexity ... -
A DEEP SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF THE FLEMISH CAP CONTINENTAL MARGIN OFF NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA
(2013-03-11)The crustal structure of the NE Flemish Cap margin off Newfoundland, Canada has been determined along a 460-km-long wide-angle reflection seismic transect (FLAME Line). The westward section crossing Flemish Cap displays ... -

A Defamiliarized Architecture: [RE]Iterative Readings of a Text
(2019-08-29)This thesis explores a design methodology reflecting Viktor Shklovsky’s concept “defamiliarization”. Defamiliarization is a technique used to make something unfamiliar, or strange, in order to enhance the perceptions of ... -
DEFINING A MULTI-PARAMETER OPTICS-BASED APPROACH FOR ESTIMATING CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION USING OCEAN GLIDERS
(2016-02-19)A bio-optical method for increasing the accuracy of chlorophyll a estimates from in situ fluorometers in the absence of traditional validation methods was implemented for autonomous gliders operating on the Scotian Shelf. ... -
Defining Biomarkers of Frailty in the Kidney: Implications for Endobiotic and Xenobiotic Metabolism in Mice
(2023-08-08)Frailty describes individuals with increased susceptibility to adverse health outcomes. The frailty index (FI) quantifies frailty by measuring deficit accumulation. This project aimed to characterize the molecular signature ... -
Defining Death: Law, Language, and Systems
(2016-08-31)The definition of death is often referred to as a fiction since brain death was conceived in the mid twentieth century. These observations are generally paired with concern that the fiction depresses the quality of a ... -
Defining the mechanisms of neutrophil transintestinal epithelial migration: Identifying a role for beta2 integrin.

DEFINING THE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH ALDH1A3-INDUCED LONG NONCODING RNA NRAD1 REGULATES GENE EXPRESSION IN BREAST CANCER
(2021-08-20)Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with limited treatment options and poor patient prognoses, owing partially to its enrichment in cancer stem cells (CSCs). Therapies targeting CSCs within TNBCs, ... -
Defining the Role of Hem25 in Mitochondrial Function: Implications for Congenital Sideroblastic Anemia
(2015)Congenital sideroblastic anemia (CSA) is a hematological disease caused by mutations in genes that result in a defect in heme/hemoglobin biosynthesis. Mutations in SLC25A38 cause CSA. I determined that SLC25A38, and its ... -
Defining the Role of Mature Minors in the Medical Research Consent Process
(2011-09-06)In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of minors included in a broad range of medical research studies. To date, however, little attention appears to have been paid to how the role of minors in the ... -
