Towards Coevolutionary Genetic Programming with Pareto Archiving Under Streaming Data
(2013-08-16)
Classification under streaming data constraints implies that training must be performed continuously, can only access individual exemplars for a short time after they arrive, must adapt to dynamic behaviour over time, and ...
A Novel Scalable Key Management Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
(2013-04-08)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are ad-hoc networks consisting of tiny battery-
operated wireless sensors. The sensor nodes are lightweight in terms of memory,
computation, energy and communication. These networks are ...
Tag Generalization For Facet-Based Search
(2013-08-23)
In this project we address over-specification of tags, a common problem of modern
tag-based document management systems. In such systems tags are essential for the
document retrieval task. The accuracy of this process ...
Geometry and composition of ice banks in a macrotidal channel
(2013-05-30)
Large ice blocks containing enough sediment to be denser than sea water form in the Minas Basin of the Bay of Fundy. The timing of ice block formation and ice block composition were monitored to improve understanding of ...
A Study of SAM Modified ZnO in Hybrid Bilayer ZnO/P3HT Photovoltaic Devices
(2013-08-21)
Hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells such as ZnO/P3HT offer promise in increasing efficiency of organic-based devices. However there are many unresolved issues such as poor short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage ...
THE EAST PACIFIC RISE CRUSTAL THICKNESS, MOHO TRANSITION ZONE CHARACTER AND OFF-AXIS MAGMA LENS MELT CONTENT FROM 9°37.5’N TO 9°57’N: RESULTS FROM THREE-DIMENSIONAL MULTICHANNEL SEISMIC DATA ANALYSIS
(2013-12-05)
This thesis discusses the results from the first multi-source and multi-streamer three-dimensional multichannel seismic experiment conducted over a mid-ocean ridge environment. Prestack time migration was applied to the ...
Evaluating the Environmental Impacts of Conventional and Organic Apple Production in Nova Scotia, Canada, Through Life Cycle Assessment
(2013-08-19)
Agricultural production and post-harvest supply systems are major causes of resource and energy consumption throughout the world, with associated emissions contributing to global scale environmental burdens. Focusing on ...
INFORMATION PATHWAYS TO POLICY DEVELOPMENT: THE EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE IN PUBLIC HEALTH DECISION MAKING
(2013-08-27)
Is public health policy based on scholarly evidence? With the manifold variables that policy makers must consider, is evidence-based policy even realistic? While strategies exist to translate research into policy, a need ...
Exploring the Dissociations between Overt and Covert Mechanisms of Spatial Attention and Inhibition of Return
(2013-09-06)
Prompted by oculomotor theories of attention, the present experiments explore the role of saccade activation in the generation of two cueing effects: exogenous capture (Experiment 1) and inhibition of return (IOR; Experiment ...
THE FATTY ACID-BINDING PROTEIN (fabp) GENES OF SPOTTED GREEN PUFFERFISH (TETRAODON NIGROVIRIDIS) - COMPARATIVE STRUCTURAL GENOMICS AND TISSUE-SPECIFIC DISTRIBUTION OF THEIR TRANSCRIPTS
(2013-12-10)
The fatty acid-binding protein (fabp) genes belong to the multigene family of intracellular lipid-binding proteins (iLBP). To date, 12 different FABPs have been identified in various vertebrate genomes. Owing to the ...
