DESIGNING A COURSE FOR PERFORMANCE ANXIETY IN EDUCATION
(2015-08-22)Presenting and performing is part of many subjects within the Ontario curriculum. Teachers, themselves, are also expected to perform with very few strategies for success. This course offers information about performance ... -
Designing for A Safer Public Housing Community: A Case Study of Chester Le, Toronto
(2014-04-30)Crime and fear of crime are major concerns confronting public housing tenants today. Public housing tenant population is usually composed of groups of people who have traditionally been found to be more vulnerable to ... -
DESIGNING FOR EXERTION: USING HEART RATE POWER-UPS TO IMPROVE ENERGY EXPENTITURE IN EXERGAMES
(2016-02-01)By combining the joy of movement with digital games, exergames can encourage people to exercise. Unfortunately, current exergames may not inspire exertion levels that meet the exercise guidelines provided by the American ... -
Designing Organic User Interfaces
(2014-01-23)With the emergence of flexible display technologies, graphical user interfaces will no longer be limited to flat surfaces. As such, it will become necessary for interface designers to move beyond flat display designs, ... -
Designing Switchable-Hydrophilicity Solvents and Modelling Their Behaviour
(2014-09-30)Switchable-hydrophilicity solvents (SHSs) are solvents that in one state forms a biphasic mixture with water but can be reversibly switched to another state that is miscible with water. In theory, this switch can be ... -
Designing the Head Group of Switchable Surfactants
(2009-10-28)This thesis is an investigation into the development of amidine and guanidine based compounds to be employed as switchable surfactants. The surface activity of these molecules can be triggered by reaction with a benign ... -
Designs for Glove Box & Handkerchief Sachet
(1876-10)Full color floral designs within squares and rectangles. Two of the four designs are bordered by blue ribbon. -
The Desire to Fill: Addiction and British Visual Culture, 1751-1919
(2010-07-22)In “The Desire to Fill” I examine visual culture, including paintings, graphic art, advertisements and architecture, in relation to the lived experience of addiction. My study begins in 1751, the year that William Hogarth ... -
A detailed observational analysis of magnetism in three B and O stars observed within the context of the MiMeS project
(2012-09-28)The detailed observational analysis of three massive B- and O-type stars was carried out in this study in order to characterize their fundamental, magnetic, and variability properties. The bulk of the data acquired were ... -
Detecting Deception in Interrogation Settings
(2012-12-18)Bag-of-words deception detection systems outperform humans, but are still not always accurate enough to be useful. In interrogation settings, present models do not take into account potential influence of the words in a ... -
DETECTING PDF JAVASCRIPT MALWARE USING CLONE DETECTION
(2013-10-02)One common vector of malware is JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files. In this thesis, we investigate using near-miss clone detectors to find this malware. We start by collecting a set of PDF files containing JavaScript ... -
Detection and Analysis of \\ Detection and Analysis of Near-Miss Software Clones
(2009-08-31)Software clones are considered harmful in software maintenance and evolution. However, despite a decade of active research, there is a marked lack of work in the detection and analysis of near-miss software clones, those ... -
Detection and Grading of Prostate Cancer in Temporal Enhanced Ultrasound using Convolutional Neural Networks
Prostate cancer is the most common non-dermatological cancer amongst men in the developed world. The current definitive diagnosis is core needle biopsy guided by transrectal ultrasound. However, this method suffers from ... -
Detection Limits of Chemical Sensors: Applications and Misapplications
(2016-03-08)The limit of detection (LOD) and the sensitivity of a chemical sensor are defined using IUPAC guidelines. The LOD from simulated and experimental data is calculated from a calibration curve using a simple statistical model ... -
Detection of Aqueous Lead (II) And Mercury (II) Using Micro-Ring Resonators Coated with Tetrasulfide Functionalized Mesoporous Organosilica Thin Films
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) micro-ring resonators coated with bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide (TESPT) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) co-condensation mesoporous silica coatings are reported as chemical sensors to ... -
DETECTION OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS USING AMPLIFIED FIBER LOOP RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY
(2011-09-26)Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is an absorption spectroscopic technique. In CRDS the concentration of an analyte is determined by measuring the reduction in finesse of an optical cavity made from two highly reflective ... -
Detection of Lead Contamination of Water and VOC Contamination of Air Using SOI Micro-Optical Devices
(2016-03-17)Micro-photonic SOI Mach-Zehnder interferometers were coated with solid-phase micro-extraction materials derived from polydimethylsiloxane to enable sensing of volatile organic compounds of the BTEX class in air. A different ...
