(2012-04-01)In the current research, an analytical chip formation model and the methodology to determine material flow data have been developed. The efforts have been made to address work hardening and thermal softening effects and ... -
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ... -
Analyzing the impact of BYOD in secondary school English classrooms
(2018-08-01)There is limited research on Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs. This study explored the impact of a BYOD program on secondary school students’ engagement, learning process, and learning performance in English classrooms. ... -
Android wi-fi location awareness and data inference heuristic.
(2013-12-01)Mobile phones are becoming a primary platform for information access. More and more people use their mobile devices as one of their major communication access tools. Commuters are increasingly carrying their mobile devices ... -
Annual incidence of traumatic brain injury among Ontario adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities and 30-day readmissions
(2019-07-01)This thesis examines Ontario adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), to identify traumatic brain injury (TBI) incidence and the impact of TBI history on 30-day readmissions. Objectives: ... -
Anodic alcohol fuel cell reactions at platinum active sites on doped metal oxide supports
(2022-12-01)Fuel cells produce electrical energy via chemical reactions, which take place on the carbon supported platinum catalyst (Pt/C). As attractive as these devices may seem, their practicality is often limited by the functionality ... -
An anomaly detection model utilizing attributes of low powered networks, IEEE 802.15.4e/TSCH and machine learning methods
(2019-12-01)The rapid growth in sensors, low-power integrated circuits, and wireless communication standards has enabled a new generation of applications based on ultra-low powered wireless sensor networks. These are employed in many ... -
The anti-estrogenic and liver metabolic effects of DHAA in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-08-01)Recent studies have shown that dehydroabietic acid (DHAA), a resin acid present in pulp and paper mills, may have anti-estrogenic effects in fish. A chronic-exposure toxicity experiment using immature rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus ... -
Antipsychotic prescribing as a treatment of dementia in British Columbia: physician-level characteristics associated with receiving potentially inappropriate prescriptions
(2023-04-01)Antipsychotic prescribing has increased. One attribute of this is off-label prescribing of antipsychotics to people with dementia to treat behavioural and psychological symptoms, which is not supported by evidence-informed ... -
The application of experimental microdosimetry to mixed-field neutron-gamma dosimetry
(2012-12-01)Absorbed dose distributions in lineal energy for neutrons and gamma rays were measured by using both a tissue-equivalent walled counter (TEPC) and a graphite-walled low pressure proportional counter (GPC) in the Am-Be ... -
Application of traveling salesman problem in generating a collision-free tool path in drilling
(2021-04-01)In machining, the tool path is generated according to the workpiece geometry and arrangement of holes. Majority of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software offer a set of predefined strategies to choose from. These tool ... -
Application-specific transfer learning over edge networks
(2021-11-01)Transfer learning uses a profound labeled set of data from the source domain to deal with a similar problem for the target domain. Transfer learning provides accurate decision- making when insufficient data samples are ... -
Applications and numerical investigation of differential-algebraic equations
(2010-05-01)Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) result in many areas of science and engineer- ing. In this thesis, numerical methods for solving DAEs are compared for two prob- lems, energy-economic models and traffic flow models. ... -
An applied comparison of eyewitness lineup procedures: New Jersey v. England and Wales' PACE v. New York.
(2014-07-01)In response to the growing recognition of wrongful conviction and the role that mistaken identification (ID) plays in these miscarriages of justice, some countries, states, and police departments have developed new guidelines ... -
