Comparative economic analysis of conventional and plug-in battery electric vehicles in Canada
(2022-12-01)Conventional vehicles typically use gasoline for their internal combustion engines (ICEs). On the other hand, plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) use electricity to charge their batteries, so they do not need gasoline. ... -
Comparative study of ammonia-based clean rail transportation systems for Greater Toronto area
(2014-04-01)Ammonia as a transportation fuel offers a carbon-free, hydrogen rich energy source that emits no greenhouse gases in combustion, and has no global warming potential. Furthermore, it may be produced from any renewable ... -
A comparative study of braille as a tactile orthography with the auditory orthography oval to teach reading to preliterate, English as an additional language, adult learners who have visual disabilities
(2022-12-01)The purpose of this study was to investigate the affordances of the tactile orthography of braille in comparison with the newly developed auditory orthography of OVAL for teaching reading to preliterate, English as an ... -
Comparative study of various hydrogen production methods for vehicles.
(2014-12-01)Hydrogen as an energy carrier is a promising candidate to store green energy and it has a potential to solve various critical energy challenges. Although, hydrogen is a clean energy carrier, the possible negative impacts ... -
Comparing exercise responses to high intensity interval training between adults with and without asthma
(2020-06-01)Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs in response to high ventilations during exercise, which cools and dries the airways, triggering an inflammatory cascade. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated ... -
Comparing the effects of traditional, VR, and custom-made input devices on usability, cognitive load, and presence on virtual laparoscopic tasks : investigating the potential of low-cost, consumer-level VR technology for medical simulation and training through laparoscopy simulation
(2023-12-01)Digital simulators are essential in medical education, allowing to train procedures that are otherwise impossible or difficult to recreate in real life. Laparoscopy training, a procedure that allows a surgeon to access the ... -
A comparison of male versus female University of Ontario Institute of Technology students who use electronic or digital devices and technologies with a video display terminal and associated negative health outcomes experienced
(2015-08-14)Aims and Significance: Electronic and digital device and technologies use with Video Display Terminals (VDTs) has increased exponentially. There are negative health effects associated with their use. This study compares ... -
A comparison of seated and room-scale virtual reality on medical-based serious games and virtual simulation
(2016-12-01)Simulation-based training has been widely adopted by healthcare education as a vital tool in the practice of skills within a safe environment. However, significant cost and logistical challenges exist within traditional ... -
Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ... -
A comparison of three computational phantoms for calibration of a radiation portal monitor used for measurement of internal contamination.
(2014-12-01)The goal of this research was to investigate if portal monitors could measure internally deposited radioisotopes over a short count time (1 second) with a detection limit sufficient to measure 1/10 of an annual limit on ... -
Compensation in movement behaviours following exercise of different intensities in older adults
(2019-08-01)The overall purpose of this thesis was to assess compensation in movement behaviours of older adults following exercise. Participants (n=28, 69.7±6.5 years) completed the following exercise protocols in random order, one ... -
