Tumour hypoxia is a well-recognized clinical problem that promotes resistance to anti-cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy), increases rates of recurrent disease, and ultimately leads to poor patient outcome. Eradication of hypoxic tumours is, therefore, essential for...

Perennial grain crops have been proposed as a sustainable alternative to conventional annual grain crops, since they potentially hold multiple desirable features including increased soil C sequestration and biodiversity, mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and reduction of water loss and...

Pressure and temperature swing adsorption processes are increasingly being designed and optimized computationally. The reliability of these predictions are highly dependent on the quality of the experimental equilibrium and kinetic data used in these simulations. Consistent experimental...

In this thesis, we investigate the use of single-image depth prediction from convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in sparse and dense monocular visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problems. Mainly, we are interested in solving three problems: (1) data association, (2) dense...

Studies of amino acids are essential because they are one of the building blocks of larger biomolecules, and it is crucial for us to understand how they interact with each other to fulfill all these various biological functions in our daily life. One interesting and noticeable fact from previous...

There will always be uncertainties and hazards involved with project activities in the construction industry. Both long-term and short-term safety events reported to occupational health and safety authorities are impacted by the practice of schedule compression by crashing the project activities....

Shale gas plays an increasingly important role in meeting the growing global energy demand and reducing carbon emissions. Unlike conventional reservoirs, shale, including both organic and inorganic matter, can have an extensive amount of pores ranging from a few to hundreds of nanometers....

Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents available. Unfortunately, adverse drug reactions - cisplatin-induced toxicities - often limit the use of cisplatin. These toxicities develop in at least half of those treated, are diverse, and are especially problematic for pediatric...

Background and Rationale: Chronological age does not always accurately reflect “biological age”, or the extent of physiological reserve an individual possesses to endure stressors. The concept of physiological reserve is best represented by frailty; a multifaceted syndrome or state that...
