Simulation of in-core dose rates for an offline CANDU reactor
(2016-04-01)This thesis describes the development of a Monte Carlo simulation to predict the dose rates that will be encountered by a novel robotic inspection system for the pressure tubes of an offline CANDU reactor. Simulations were ... -
Simulation of microgrid system and low-cost wireless communication network
(2019-08-01)The MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a microgrid system is presented in this thesis. The microgrid consists of a converter-fed distributed generator photovoltaic array with maximum power point tracking, a converter-fed battery ... -
Simulation of voltage source converter based shunt active filter in EMTP‐RV
(2010-08-01)The deterioration in power quality due to the increase in non linear loads has sparked a new interest in the filtering techniques used in transmission and distribution systems. Unlike passive filters, active filters are ... -
Simulation, design and construction of a gas electron multiplier for particle tracking
(2012-12-01)The biological effects of charged particles is of interest in particle therapy, radiation protection and space radiation science and known to be dependent on both absorbed dose and radiation quality or LET. Microdosimetry ... -
Simulation-based fault propagation analysis of process industry using process variable interaction analysis
(2013-01-01)There are increasing safety concerns in chemical and petrochemical process industry. The huge explosion of Nowruz oil Field platform that happened in Persian gulf-IRAN at 1983, along with other disastrous events have ... -
Single copy gene expression system as a tool for the purification of membrane proteins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2011-08-01)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen known to cause a variety of infections that are difficult to treat due to extremely high resistance to almost all antibiotics currently in clinical ... -
Single magnetic resonance image super-resolution using generative adversarial network
(2022-08-01)Super-Resolution is the process of converting given low-resolution images into corresponding high-resolution ones. The resolution enhancement process applied to medical images can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy ... -
Single-stage boost integrated asymmetrical half-bridge AC-DC power converter with dual modulation for indoor led lighting
(2015-04-01)Light emitting diodes (LEDs) for indoor lighting is a promising technology which can lead to major energy saving and cost reductions. The major concerns of improving power factor and regulating the output current ripple ... -
Situation tables as the new crime prevention: theoretical underpinnings, strengths, weaknesses, and best practices
(2018-11-01)Change in police calls-for-service has resulted in a shift in the role of police through the years. Specifically, the increase in mental health calls for police services has created the Community Safety and Well-Being ... -
The social determinants of health related to the increased prevalence and risk of diabetes among South Asians in Canada
(2021-11-01)There continues to be a high prevalence and risk for diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D) among South Asians in Canada compared to the general population. Majority of current research continues to take biomedical and ... -
Social importance of recognizing the victimization for mothers of school shooters
(2019-01-01)This paper presents various topics that contribute to understanding Sue Klebold, Monique Lépine, Terri Roberts, Laurel Harper, and Parvinder Sandhu as secondary victims of school shooting homicides. With the application ... -
Social-based trustworthy data forwarding in vehicular delay tolerant networks
(2011-03-01)Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new communication technol-ogy which has attracted a lot of research attention from academic community and indus-try. For many applications in VANETs, information has to be ... -
Societal perceptions of wrongful convictions
(2012-07-01)In recent years wrongful convictions have received a considerable amount of research attention. This flourishing interest has resulted in a growing body of literature that aims to investigate this criminal justice phenomenon. ... -
Sodium reduction challenges and facilitators in breads and processed poultry products: an industry perspective
(2016-06-01)Excessive consumption of sodium has been shown to cause high blood pressure (Garriguet, 2007). The breads and processed meat categories were identified as the highest contributors to sodium consumption within the Canadian ... -
