    Abstract: <p>Paramedic data has significant potential for research. Paramedics see many patients every year and collect a wide variety of crucial data at each encounter. This data is rarely used for good reason: it's messy and hard to work with. But like theunderdog character in a classic movie, with a little bit of work and a lot of understanding, paramedic data has significant potential to… more

    Modelling Request Access Patterns for Information on the World Wide Web

    Year: 2022, 2022

    Name(s): Creator (cre): Sturgeon, Robert Carl, Thesis advisor (ths): Hurley, Richard T, Degree committee member (dgc): De Grande, Robson, Degree committee member (dgc): Parker, James DA, Degree committee member (dgc): McConnell, Sabine, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
    Abstract: <p>In this thesis, we present a framework to model user object-level request patterns in the World Wide Web.This framework consists of three sub-models: one for file access, one for Web pages, and one for storage sites.
    Web Pages are modelled to be made up of different types and sizes of objects, which are characterized by way of categories.</p><p>We developed a discrete event… more

    Abstract: <p>This thesis is part of an industry project which collaborates with an aviation technology company on pilot performance assessment. In this project, we propose utilizing the pilots' training data to develop a model that can recognize the pilots' activity patterns for evaluation. The data will present as a time series, representing a pilot's actions during maneuvers. In this… more
