Computer-assisted Workflow Recognition for Central Venous Catheterization
Purpose: The transition to competency-based medical education from an apprenticeship model requires a greater amount of human resources to evaluate trainees. Therefore, there is an increased need for tools that can evaluate ... -
Studying the Integration Practices and the Evolution of Ad Libraries in the Google Play Store
In-app advertisements have become a major revenue for app developers in the mobile app economy. Ad libraries play an integral part in this ecosystem as app developers integrate these libraries into their apps to display ... -
Dynamic Representation of Anatomical Structures in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning and Evaluation
Segmentation is a ubiquitous operation in radiation therapy (RT) and in medical image computing (MIC) in general. Various data representations can describe segmentation results, such as binary volumes or surface models. ... -
Development of a Computational Treatment Planning System for Radiofrequency Ablation of Vertebral Metastases
Introduction: Vertebral metastases affect around 61,000 Americans annually. The presence of vertebral metastases may lead to skeletal related events which can include pain, fracture, and neurologic compromise, all of which ... -
Using Deep Models to Predict Sudden Episodes of Hypotension in Critically Ill Patients
The vast quantities of data generated and collected in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have given rise to large retrospective datasets that are frequently used for observational studies. The temporal nature and fine granularity ... -
Site-directed insertion: Language equations and decision problems
(Elsevier, 2019-05-23)Site-directed insertion is an overlapping insertion operation that can be viewed as analogous to the overlap assembly or chop operations that concatenate strings by overlapping a suffix and a prefix of the argument strings. ... -
Further closure properties of input-driven pushdown automata
(Elsevier, 2019-05-20)The paper investigates the closure of the language family defined by input-driven pushdown automata (IDPDA) under the following operations: insertion ins(L,K)={xyz|xz∈L,y∈K}, deletion del(L,K)={xz|xyz∈L,y∈K}, square root ... -
Evaluation of Open Source Software Platform For Transperineal In-Bore MRI-Guided Targeted Prostate Biopsy
Current targeted prostate biopsy methods often rely on commercial systems to support the procedure. These systems tend to lack the export of analysis results for secondary analysis studies used in research. Transperineal ... -
Model-driven Abusive Language Detection
Abusive user-posted content has become a serious issue for many different forms of online communication, especially communication on social media platforms. While the effects of abusive content on society and governments ... -
Quality of Experience from Cache Hierarchies: Caching for Adaptive Streaming over Information-Centric Networks
Video traffic is growing in dominance in today’s Internet, prompting new challenges in timely delivery of video content. This demand motivates the development of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), as a de facto ... -
Holotab: Design and Evaluation of Interaction Techniques for a Handheld 3D Light Field Display
Although the fundamentals of how humans perceive the world in 3D and the techniques used to implement 3D display devices have been discussed for over a century, humans still rely on 2D displays for interaction with almost ... -
Breast Reconstruction Planning and Assessment Using Three-Dimensional Surface Scans
Purpose: Breast-conserving therapy can result in significant breast deformity in up to 40 percent of patients. Breast reconstruction to correct these deformities is considered an integral part of breast cancer care. ... -
Augmented Reality Training Platform for Placement of Neurosurgical Burr Holes
Augmented reality has been used in neurosurgery to aid in the visualization of lesions, though it has not been widely adopted for simulation-based neurosurgical training. This work aims to determine if augmented reality ... -
Automated Generation of Language Use Vector Extractors from TXL Grammars
Software development continues to demand advanced features which current programming languages do not offer. Language developers constantly evolve their languages to simplify common tasks, make the language more natural ... -
An Empirical Analysis of Java Language Use in Open Source Applications
Java is one of the most popular programming languages currently in use, and many modern applications and websites are programmed using Java. In this work, we examine how Java language features are actually used by programmers ... -
Application of Optical CT to Estimate the Mass of Macroalgae in a Tank of Water
This thesis develops and tests a mass estimation system for macroalgae using optical computed tomography. The system consists of a table with a fixed camera and backlighting, which rotates around a container of macroalgae ... -
Exploring Epigenetic Drug Discovery Using Computational Approaches
The misregulation of epigenetic mechanisms has been linked to disease. Current drugs that treat these dysfunctions have had some success, however many have variable potency, instability in vivo and lack target specificity. ... -
Investigating Selenium Usage Challenges and Reducing the Performance Overhead of Selenium-based Load Tests
Selenium automates the testing of web applications. Quality Assurance (QA) engineers usually write Selenium scripts to test the content that is rendered in a browser and simulate user interactions with the web content for ... -
The Design and Personalization of Aim Assistance Algorithms
Aiming is the act of directing an action toward a target object, location, or direction. Many activities in games require aiming. In order for players to perform these activities successfully, they must be able to aim ... -
Computer-Integrated Methods for Breast Cancer Surgery and Brachytherapy Guidance
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in women in Canada. Lumpectomy and brachytherapy are treatments of choice for early stage breast cancer, but the soft nature of the breast makes it difficult to ...
