Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Energy aware scheduling using reinforcement learning for 802.15.4e Time-Slotted Channel Hopping
(2023-11-01)
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a medium access control mode defined in IEEE 802.15.4e standard. This protocol is a crucial component of fourth-generation IoT applications, enabling efficient communication through ...
Understanding minor attracted persons
(2023-10-01)
Minor attracted persons (MAPs) are a group of understudied individuals who acknowledge a sexual interest in children but who may never have offended against a child. They are often regarded the same as individuals who have ...
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 ...
Improving classification system to detect cyclic alternation pattern using sleep EEG
(2023-08-01)
Cyclic alternative patterns (CAP) became an important tool to diagnose sleep disorders. This study aims to have a better understanding of CAP, as the clinical applications remain limited as CAP analysis is a time-consuming ...
Optimizing electrocardiogram analysis for efficient heart condition diagnosis
(2023-09-01)
This thesis introduces an innovative lead grouping strategy for efficient real-time Electrocardiography signal classification. This method uses a maximum of six leads instead of the traditional 12-lead approach, leading ...
Characterization of flow control using programmable multi-directional plasma actuators
(2023-09-01)
This research explores the use of a novel plasma actuator geometry and electrical configuration to generate directionally programmable flow fields near the surface of arrays of such plasma actuators. Plasma actuators are ...
Synthesizing existing evidence and leveraging expert opinions to develop a university, for-profit, and not-for-profit organization partnership model to address health professions education gaps through simulation-based education
(2023-12-01)
Healthcare providers in rural and remote (R&R) areas of Canada do not have the same access to skills development and maintenance opportunities as those in urban areas. Simulation-based education (SBE) is an optimal technique ...
A universal centralized protection scheme for feeders of AC microgrids using IEC-61869-9 digital instrument transformers
(2023-10-01)
This thesis underscores the escalating importance of microgrids powered by renewable energy sources and inverters in modern power systems. Despite offering significant environmental and economic advantages, their decentralized ...
Improving binary optimization algorithms using genuine uniform initialization
(2023-12-01)
Population-based metaheuristic algorithms play a crucial role in solving complex optimization problems. The effectiveness of these algorithms is significantly influenced by the initial population of candidate solutions. ...
