Nanostructured carbon-based materials for electrochemical applications
(2019-12-01)Mesoporous carbons have been widely studied due to the relevance of these materials for applications in energy storage and conversion devices (batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells), mainly due to their high surface ... -
Nanostructured materials for photovoltaics and microwave electronics: methods and applications
(2017-04-01)Nanoscale particles and thin layers are today used for a variety of applications to make industrial products lighter, stronger or more conductive. This study investigates synthesis, characterization and application of ... -
A narrative inquiry into the experience of a practical nursing graduate with private tutoring
(2016-06-01)Disability studies are an established area of scholarship in education and this has been my passion for the last decade. Students living with disabilities in healthcare profession education (including nursing, personal ... -
Negative emotion and eyewitness memory
(2022-12-01)Witnessing or being the victim of a crime is often emotionally distressing, and this emotional distress reaction can influence the storage and retrieval of event-related memory. Eyewitness memory, therefore, cannot be ... -
A negotiation protocol with conditional offers for camera handoffs.
(2014-10-01)This thesis explores the idea of conditional offers during camera handoff negotiations. In a departure from contract-net inspired negotiation models that have been proposed for camera handoffs, the current scheme assumes ... -
Neural markers of antisocial behaviour in offenders and their relationship with risk-factors of offending
(2022-03-01)The relationship between neural integrity and offending patterns has been increasingly evaluated to better understand the mechanisms that predispose towards offending behaviours. While this work has made inroads into ... -
Neuroimaging metrics of drug- and food-cue reactivity as a function of psychopathic traits, substance use, and substance dependence
(2018-08-01)We conducted two fMRI studies assessing the relationship between psychopathy and drug- and food-related neural reactivity. In the first study, we assessed the relationship between psychopathic traits and neural reactivity ... -
Neutron production in a spherical phantom aboard the international space station
(2010-12-01)Since the beginning of space exploration in last century, several kinds of devices from passive and active dosimeters to radiation environment monitors have been used to measure radiation levels onboard different space ... -
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
(2023-08-01)Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ... -
A new approach to neutron spectrometry with multi-element scintillators
(2014-02-01)The combined effects of the nuclear industrial renaissance, the events of 9/11, and the Fukushima disaster have had a significant impact on the research and development of radiation detection instrumentation. Notably, there ... -
New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
(2022-08-01)Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ... -
A new method of modelling tuneable lasers with functional composition
(2019-07-01)A new nonlinear model is proposed for tuneable lasers. Using the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a starting point, expressions for the transformations undergone by the pulse are derived for each of the five ... -
New numeracies: the social practice of functional skills and social justice
(2011-11-01)This thesis explores how creating and performing digital numeracy texts, affords students learning opportunities in Mathematics that demonstrate their numerical social practice. In an environment that celebrates performance ... -
The news coverage of honour killings in Canadian newspapers
(2012-05-01)The issue of honour killings has become a prominent topic of discussion in the Western discourse of violence against immigrant women. In Canada, particularly, the recent high-profile cases of honour killings have drawn ... -
Nintendo Wii versus resistance training to improve upper-limb function in children ages 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: a home-based pilot study
(2015-07-01)This pilot, home-based study compared a Nintendo Wii intervention to a single-joint upper-limb resistance training of a similar intensity, in n=6 children ages of 7 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic CP with respect to upper ... -
Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms, Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications. This research focuses on the application of MPC ... -
Non-precious metal catalysts prepared by chemical functionalization of carbon surfaces.
(2014-08-01)New sources of power are of great interest as attempts to make smaller, more convenient and environmentally friendly sources are being investigated. Hydrogen fuel cells are a way to combine both an effective method of power ... -
A nonlinear and nonlocal model for animal aggregation
(2022-09-01)An aggregation model is a kind of model used to show the dynamics of the distribution of the population of organisms. Mathematically, we can use a partial differential equation to model the density of an organism at different ... -
Nonlinear vibration analysis of viscoelastic plates with fractional damping
(2017-06-01)Fractional calculus has the history as long as the classical calculus, but up to recent years, less attention has been paid to this method due to its complexity and difficulties in dealing with fractional derivatives and ... -
