Analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow in an evaporating sessile droplet for evaporative cooling applications
(2015-08-01)Cooling is of critical importance for a number of fields, particularly in microelectronic devices and other miniaturized technology. The evaporation of the sessile liquid droplet facilitates the phase change of that liquid ... -
Analysis of hydrodynamic phenomena in a fluidized bed for thermochemical hydrogen production
(2008-04-01)This thesis examines transport phenomena of cupric chloride (CuCI2) hydrolysis within a fluidized bed. Conversions of CuCi2 and steam as a fluidizing gas are numerically investigated using a new non-catalytic gas-solid ... -
Analysis of peptide production by Lactobacillus species and evaluation of their antihypertensive and immunomodulatory activities
(2015-08-01)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Canadian adults. Research has demonstrated an inverse relationship between the consumption of fermented dairy products and a decreased risk of CVD due to ... -
Analysis of resistance nodulation division efflux pumps in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2015-01-01)Strains from Canadian hospitals were classified as A. baumannii, A. pitti, or A. osocomialis and the most commonly expressed resistance nodulation division (RND) efflux pump was adeFGH. A collection of A. baumannii isolates ... -
The analysis of the entomological and chemical decomposition of human remains to ultimately assess the viability of the domestic pig as a substitute in forensic applications
(2022-09-01)Death investigations often rely on the minimum post mortem interval (minPMI) estimations provided by forensic entomologists. The models accepted by courts in Canada are not based on research involving humans but rather on ... -
An analysis of the freedom of expression policy in higher education
(2020-05-01)This study examines free speech policy in general and specifically the free speech policy at one institution of higher education in Ontario, Canada, in order to better understand the complex interconnectedness between human ... -

(2020-12-01)Through a quantitative case study analysis of learning artifacts used in a skilled trades course at an Ontario community college, this research project examined PowerPoint presentation artifacts designed by a college ... -
An analysis of the representation of internet child luring and the fear of cyberspace in four Canadian newspapers
(2011-08-01)Due to the popularization of Internet technologies in the last two decades, public attention has been directed to issues surrounding online sexual exploitation of minors in Canadian Newspapers. Specifically, newspaper ... -
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ... -
Analysis of the volatile organic compounds produced by the decomposition of pig carcasses and human remains
(2013-03-01)Complex processes of decomposition produce a variety of chemicals as soft tissues and their component parts are degraded. Among others, these decomposition by-products include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible ... -
Analysis, assessment and optimization of biomass mixed heavy-oil driven integrated gasification combined cycle for multigeneration
(2017-11-01)There has been increasing interest in employing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) using various biomasses and low-rank coals for producing multiple outputs. The most of the existing IGCC plants do not conserve ... -
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ... -
