A nonlinear and nonlocal model for animal aggregation
(2022-09-01)
An aggregation model is a kind of model used to show the dynamics of the distribution of the population of organisms. Mathematically, we can use a partial differential equation to model the density of an organism at different ...
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the influence of multisensory processes and sensorimotor integration on motor performance
(2022-07-01)
This thesis sought to investigate how adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) influences processes relating to motor learning, sensory integration, and somatosensory processing. ADHD is associated with ...
Development and characterization of electrically conductive thermoplastic based composite materials for fuel cell bipolar plates
(2022-08-01)
Thermoplastic composites exhibit multiple attractive attributes, such as lightweight, low cost, ease and speed of manufacturing, and ability to recycle, which make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Composites ...
Design and control of an active ankle-foot orthosis
(2022-04-01)
Active ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) assist a user unable to dorsiflex the ankle joint. The optimal AAFO is lightweight and aids the user in achieving a nominal gait.
This thesis presents the design and control of a novel ...
Neural markers of antisocial behaviour in offenders and their relationship with risk-factors of offending
(2022-03-01)
The relationship between neural integrity and offending patterns has been increasingly evaluated to better understand the mechanisms that predispose towards offending behaviours. While this work has made inroads into ...
An analysis of face matching accuracy and related variables: a meta-analysis and two follow-up studies
(2022-07-01)
Face matching is used in many different transportation and policing situations and is an important last line of defense in security contexts such as the TSA. Despite how important this task is in ensuring security, no ...

(2022-08-01)
In the last decade, multi-input DC-DC converters have been studied in various research areas related to plug-in vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and renewable energy applications. They have several advantages over ...
Exploring the feasibility of a novel experimental method to study talent selection and decision making in high performance sport
(2022-08-01)
Talent selection in sport takes place from early stages of development through professional ranks. Athletes are regularly selected for youth teams, high school teams, as well as collegiate and professional teams (Jones, ...
Magic Pen: automatic pen-mode switching for document annotation
(2022-08-01)
Traditional digital pen interfaces use menu buttons to change pen modes, resulting in time and cognitive load spent on round-trips and potential errors from tapping small mode selection buttons. This thesis presents Magic ...
