Paper-based microfluidic device with a gold nanoparticle sensor for arsenic detection applied to groundwater in Bangladesh
(2016-10-01)
This study demonstrates the development of a paper-based microfluidic
device (μPAD) with a gold nanosensor (Au-TA-TG) to detect arsenic
contamination in Bangladesh groundwater at the World Health
Organization (WHO) ...
Development of a layerless additive manufacturing stereolithography machine to improve surface quality and dimensional accuracy
(2016-06-01)
Stereolithography (SLA) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) process that has recently gained significant popularity in manufacturing research. The material used in SLA is a photocurable resin. SLA fabrication has conventionally ...
Machine learning classifiers for critical cardiac conditions
(2016-04-01)
Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Current methods of diagnosing cardiac conditions require a manual and visual analysis of ECG and heart rate (RR interval) data. In this thesis, novel ...
Design of contactless capacitive power transfer systems for battery charging applications
(2016-04-01)
The main aim of the thesis, is to develop a high power system for small and large air-gaps applications, concurrently possessing high efficiency. To tackle the problems stated, two modified converters where proposed. The ...
Optimal temperature range identification for a hydrogen production cycle using genetic algorithm-based Monte Carlo simulation method
(2016-08-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen generation is accumulating more and more interest, both from academia and industry. In nuclear hydrogen production system based on 4-step Cu-Cl cycle, proper temperature inputs play an essential role ...
An openflow-based wireless user management system
(2016-01-01)
The degradation of the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) on wireless users is becoming a common issue for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure-based networks in crowded areas. In response, network providers usually increase coverage ...
Investigation of mechanical heat pump systems for heat upgrading applications
(2016-04-01)
Three high temperature heat pump systems based on vapor compression cycles are introduced and examined. Four fluids (water, cyclohexane, biphenyl and mercury) are selected and analysed thermodynamically as prospective ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)
Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ...
Integration of microwave and millimeter wave bandpass filters with antennas
(2016-07-01)
Filters and antennas are essential elements in communication and radar systems. In a conventional design, antennas and filters are designed independently and then connected together through transitions and/or connectors, ...
