Physiological costs of altered hydrothermal conditions in harvested forests
(2025)Amphibians are among the most rapidly declining vertebrate groups worldwide, with habitat modification and climate change driving widespread population declines. Much work on amphibian vulnerability focuses on gradual ... -
The SHINE (Supporting Her In Navigating Exercise) Program: an experimental study examining peer support as an exercise promotion tool among undergraduate women initiates
(2025)Background: Despite the benefits of regular exercise, many Canadians, especially undergraduate women (UW), experienced decreased engagement throughout the pandemic, due, in part, to feelings of low social support and ... -
Evaluating the linguistic coverage of OpenAlex: An assessment of metadata accuracy and completeness
(Wiley, 2025-01-14)Clarivate's Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus have been for decades the main sources of bibliometric information. Although highly curated, these closed, proprietary databases are largely biased toward English-language ... -
Nonlinear dynamics and vortex mechanics for energy harvesting from fluttering wings
(2025)This research investigates the nonlinear aeroelastic dynamics and energy harvesting performance of a two-degrees-of-freedom NACA 0012 wing under varying reduced velocities and electrical load resistances. In the first part ... -
Urban Scene Segmentation and Cross-Dataset Transfer Learning using SegFormer
(SPIE, 2025-08-01)Semantic segmentation is essential for autonomous driving applications, but state-of-the-art models are typically evaluated on large datasets like Cityscapes, leaving smaller datasets underexplored. This research gap limits ... -
Table Extraction with Table Data Using VGG-19 Deep Learning Model
(MDPI, 2025-01-01)In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in understanding and processing tabular data. However, existing approaches often rely on task-specific features and model architectures, posing challenges in accurately ... -
Fault zone architecture, deformation conditions, and kinematics of the Camp Lake and Offset faults of the Lac des Iles Mine, Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2025)Faults and their associated damage zones are important geologic structures that serve as permeable pathways through the upper crust. The development of fault cores and damage zones is typically controlled by the strength ... -
Advancing Black Spruce (Picea Mariana) breeding through genomic selection: a comparative analysis of models using pedigree and genomic marker information.
(2025)Long generation times in forest trees constrain the pace of genetic improvement necessary to sustain productivity under climate change. Genomic selection offers a promising approach to accelerate breeding gains in long-lived ... -
Deep learning in dermatopathology: applications for skin disease diagnosis and classification
(Springer Nature, 2025-08-28)Medical image segmentation is pivotal in disease diagnosis and treatment planning across various imaging modalities, including MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, dermoscopy, and histopathology. This systematic literature review, ... -
A spirit-led journey to relational accountability - a visiting approach to understanding interconnections between substance use, healing pathways, and mino-bimaadiziwin: conversations with Anishinabek
(2025)This knowledge sharing process is a complexity of interconnection. To summarize these relational findings into an abstract is virtually impossible. However, I will summarize that findings of this relational-based research ... -
Flow control of low-reynolds number airfoils using morphing surface
(2025)This thesis investigates the application of traveling wave surface morphing as an advanced active flow control method to enhance the aerodynamic performance of airfoils operating at low Reynolds numbers of 1000 and 20,000. ... -
Computational investigations of integrated Vortex-Odor dynamics in the wake of fish for underwater sensing
(2025)This research investigates the interplay between vortex dynamics and odor transport in undulatory swimming using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Building upon initial two-dimensional (2D) ... -
GraphSAGE-based approach for age-specific multi-omics biomarker identification in bladder cancer
(2025)Bladder cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy with substantial morbidity and mor- tality, emphasizing the urgent need for early detection and personalized treatment strategies. Although recent advances in cancer genomics ... -
Demethylation of sulfobutylated kraft lignin and its application as phenol-formaldehyde adhesives
(2025)The shift toward sustainable and eco-friendly adhesives has led to increased research into renewable alternatives for petroleum-derived components in phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins. Lignin, a natural phenolic polymer, ... -
The radial wrist as a morphological and functional unit in extant African apes and humans
(2025)Previous research has identified multiple aspects of carpal (i.e., wrist bones) morphology in Homo sapiens (humans) and some fossil hominin species that may reflect adaptations to the habitual use and manufacture of stone ... -
Interactive effects of photoperiod, soil moisture and carbon dioxide of ecophysiological traits of yellow birch (betula alleghaniensis)
(2025)Climate change is expected to drive tree migration, a phenomenon of significant ecological importance. The projected northward migration of boreal and temperate trees by 10°N in the next century, due to increasing ... -
Noise attenuation and energy harvesting using helmholtz resonator connected to rectangular cavity
(2025)This thesis investigates the dual functionality of a Helmholtz Resonator (HR) coupled with a rectangular cavity for noise attenuation and small-scale energy harvesting. The study explores the integration of a piezoelectric ... -
Aerodynamic and flow structure analysis of iced wind turbine airfoil
(2025)The issue of icing on wind turbines presents a significant operational challenge, especially in northern regions of Canada, where cold climates and harsh winter conditions prevail. This buildup of ice increases mechanical ... -
Leveraging the use of Liquid Metal Channels to Reconfigure Antennas’ Impedance and Radiation Performance
(2025)The advent of liquid metals in the domain of RF system has opened new avenues for the researchers in smart antenna designs. Reconfigurability of antenna’s characteristics has been a keen topic of interest for the past ...
