Study of LaBr3 (Ce) detector response to high energy helium ions
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-04-01)The space radiation environment is a complex mixed field composed of neutral and charged particles such as photons, protons, alpha, and other particles. The mixture of these different particles creates a challenge in any ... -
A study of MHD and Monte Carlo simulations of high-current plasma beams in industrial applications
(2015-12-01)In recent years, high-current plasma beams have been widely applied in industrial applications. Computational approaches help us easily understand plasma properties. In this thesis, the high-current plasma beams are simulated ... -
A study of password recall, perceived memorability, and strength using BCIs
(2018-04-01)Passwords are considered the most common method of authentication and studies are frequently conducted to understand users' password habits. In this thesis, we run two empirical studies that provide information to further ... -
Study of radio frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma torch (RF ICPT) for radioactive waste treatment: thermoplastics - polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
(2021-06-01)Despite advancements in technology and many progresses made in effort for radioactive waste (RW) treatment and overall management, there is still no final and ever lasting solution. Among the many RW materials originating ... -
Study of the effect of molten CuCl immersion test on alloys with high Ni-content with and without surface coatings
(2012-04-01)The demand for hydrogen as a clean energy carrier has increased greatly. The Cu-Cl cycle is a promising thermochemical cycle that is currently being developed to be the large-scale method of hydrogen production. The lifetime ... -
