Investigation of sub-cell homogenization for PHWR lattice cells using superhomogenization factors
(2016-12-01)To avoid the computational effort associated with full-core neutron transport calculations, full-core neutronics calculations for Pressurized Heavy-Water Reactors (PHWRs) are usually performed in diffusion theory using an ... -
Investigation of sustainable hydrogen production from steam biomass gasification
(2010-12-01)Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ... -
Investigation of the bubble detector response to high LET space radiation
(2018-08-01)The radiation environment aboard spacecraft is a complex mixture of neutrons, photons, protons, heavy ions and other particles. A special type of superheated droplet detectors referred to as space bubble detectors (SBD) ... -
Investigation of the ultrasonic based hydrogen production process: Sonohydrogen
(2021-04-01)The present work carries out various sets of numerical investigations to link the primary effect of the acoustic parameters with the secondary effect of developing a chemical reaction mechanism for water vapor dissociation ... -

Investigation of three integrated energy systems with desalination, heat storage, thermochemical cycles and heat upgrade
(2020-09-01)This thesis study proposes three different novel renewable energy-based multigeneration integrated systems with molten salt heat storage and desalination options where copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) and magnesium-chlorine (Mg-Cl) ... -
iPad Implementation in the Middle School Classroom: The Teachers' Perspectives
(2014-03)This project explores the implementation of iPads in a middle school by surveying and interviewing teachers to examine their • Levels of Use, Stages of Concern, and the First- and Second-Order Barriers they encounter. The ... -
Is measuring best? Evaluating report derived body mass index in Special Olympics participants
(2015-04-01)To determine the proportion of overweight/obesity, studies save time and money by using reported height and weight for the calculation of body mass index (BMI). However, no studies have reported the validity of self and ... -
Is multimodal care effective for the management of patients with soft tissue injuries of the shoulder? A systematic review of the literature
(2015-06-01)Shoulder injuries are common and cause significant pain and disability. Individuals who consult clinicians for shoulder pain are typically treated with multimodal care. However, little is known about the effectiveness of ... -
Is non-medical use of prescription sedatives and sleeping pills associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in undergraduate university students
(2019-07-01)Introduction: Mental health is a public health concern on university campuses. However, little is understood about the etiology of mental health in this population. Purposes: To measure the association between the non-medical ... -
"IS THE UNI FUN?": can transactional distance theory be used as a theoretical framework in understanding the chat content of a university moderated Facebook page?
(2011-08-01)Social Networking sites are being used by post-secondary institutions to engage their prospective and current student populations. The communication that results from these online interactions can be placed within the ... -
Is Yang style Tai Chi a “one size fits all” fall prevention exercise program for older adults?
(2011-08-01)Falls among Canadian older adults is a growing problem, not only in terms of incident rates and its impacts, but most importantly, the vast scope of preventable morbidity and mortality. A decline in age-related physical ... -
Islanding detection in distribution system embedded with renewable-based distributed generation
(2012-12-01)Classical view of power system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized generation to consumers. Power system deregulation gave impetus to a modern view by introducing distributed generations (DGs) ... -
Isolation and partial characterization of three acetylcholine-gated chloride channels in Haemonchus contortus
(2017-01-01)Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode infecting ruminants causing anemia and poor health due to the parasite’s blood-feeding nature. The ability to manage infection has been confounded by the rapid development of ... -
