Convection in a differentially heated rotating spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid with radiative forcing
(2012-12-01)In this study we investigate the flow of a Boussinesq fluid contained in a rotating, differentially heated spherical shell. Previous work, on the spherical shell of Boussinesq fluid, differentially heated the shell by ... -
Conversion of a scroll compressor to an expander for organic Rankine cycle: modeling and analysis
(2010-12-01)Conversion of a scroll compressor to an expander for organic Rankine Cycle: modeling and analysis -
Cooperative advertising for competing manufacturers: The impact of long-term promotional effects
(ScienceDirect, 2017-02)The effectiveness of cooperative advertising programs is studied in a market where two competing manufacturers deal with an exclusive retailer and two products. Two two-stage game theoretic models are developed to analyze ... -
Cooperative advertising in competing supply chains and the long-term effects of retail advertising
(2021-09-03)The profitability of cooperative advertising (CA) programs is analyzed in a supply chain where competing manufacturers sell their products through competing retailers. We study a two-period game-theoretic model that accounts ... -
Cooperative advertising programs: are accrual constraints necessary?
(Wiley, 2017-06)This paper investigates how the use of an accrual constraint in a cooperative advertising program affects channel members’ profits in a bilateral monopoly, as well as their pricing and advertising decisions. The main ... -
Cooperative localization based on received signal strength in wireless sensor network
(2010-01-01)Localization accuracy based on RSS (Received Signal Strength) is notoriously inaccurate in the application of wireless sensor networks. RSS is subject to shadowing effects, which is signal attenuation caused by stationary ... -
Cooperative relay beamforming design for multi-cluster relay interference networks
(2016-08-01)In this work, we consider a multi-cluster amplified-and-forward (AF) relay interference network and design relay beam matrix for each cluster to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at ... -
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking and the active roll ... -
Coordinated multicast beamforming for multi-cell massive MIMO systems
(2023-09-01)In this thesis, we consider the efficient coordinated multi-cell multicast beamforming design in massive massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks. For the problem that aims to minimize the base station ... -
CORE: a framework for the automatic repair of concurrency bugs
(2015-01-01)Desktop computers now contain 2, 4 or even 8 processors. To benefit from them programs must be written to work in parallel. If writing good code is hard, writing good parallel code is much harder. Parallelization adds ... -
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ... -
Cortical adaption influences excitability in the dominant and non-dominant hands following complex novel motor training
(2014-09-01)The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to ... -
Cortical and cerebellar motor processing changes subsequent to motor training and cervical spine manipulation
(2012-07-01)Chronic neck pain, including subclinical neck pain (SCNP), is a significant problem that places a burden on the healthcare system. Chiropractic manipulation has shown not only to be effective in treating symptoms of neck ... -
A criminology of catastrophe: a critical analysis of imperialistic state crime and the Haiti earthquake
(2011-07-01)Despite the devastation caused by environmental catastrophes, these phenomena have yet to garner significant attention as a subject of criminological inquiry. This thesis is framed by the following question: How can we ... -
A critical discussion of the impact of internationalization on Ontario colleges
(2019-04-01)Internationalization of Ontario colleges is a strategic mandate dictated from both the federal and provincial governments to address declining domestic enrollment, labour market shortages, and the evolving needs of 21st ... -
Critical InfoVis: Exploring the Politics of Visualization
(ACM, 2013-04-27)As information visualization is increasingly used to raise awareness about social issues, difficult questions arise about the power of visualization. So far the research community has not given sufficient thought to how ... -
A cross-sectional analysis of student fruit and vegetable consumption at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology
(2020-02-01)Access to nutritious food is imperative for maintaining overall health. Fruits and vegetables are foods that are nutrient rich, and consumption of these foods is related to positive health outcomes. The purpose of this ... -
A cross-sectional survey on the effects of temperature and humidity on health outcomes in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: a pilot study
(2021-05-01)Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive respiratory disorder, is the third leading cause of death globally. Temperature and humidity weather extremes influence the respiratory system. A cross-sectional ... -
Cultural competence in health care: exploring the experiences of Muslim women within the Ontario healthcare system.
(2014-07-01)This exploratory study examines the influences of cultural and religious practices of Muslim women within health care settings. Twelve Muslim women, ranging between the ages of 19 to 57, were interviewed. They all participated ... -
Customized topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)One of the biggest limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) is the resulting production times. Due to the layer-based method of material deposition, the time to produce a single part is substantial compared to techniques ...
