Influencing motivation to empathize in individuals with heightened psychopathic traits: neural and behavioural assessment of empathizing with others
(2021-08-01)
Central to psychopathy is a purported lack of empathy for others. However, recent literature suggests that the decreased empathic responses of psychopathic individuals may be a result of aberrant motivations, rather than ...
Youth correctional officer orientation and opinions on relationships with youth
(2021-08-01)
This study explored the personal perspectives of current and past youth correctional officers within secure and open custody facilities in Ontario. A multi-methods design was used to examine officers’ orientation to their ...
Integrated chassis control strategies for multi-wheel combat vehicle
(2021-11-01)
Combat vehicles are exposed to high risks due to their high ground clearance and nature of operation in harsh environments. This requires robust stability controllers to cope with the rapid change and uncertainty of driving ...
Power efficient designs for 5G wireless networks
(2021-01-01)
In this dissertation, to step forward towards green communication, we study power efficient solutions in three potential 5G wireless networks, namely an asynchronous multicarrier two-way Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay ...
Additive manufactured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(2021-08-01)
In this thesis, the focus is on using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method to manufacture functional biodegradable nanocomposite Polymeric Bone Tissue Scaffolds (PBTS). PBTSs are complex products, which have attracted ...
Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Developing a mobile manipulation system to handle unknown and unstructured objects
(2021-04-01)
The exceptional human’s ability to interact with unknown objects based on minimal prior experience is a permanent inspiration to the field of robotic manipulation. The recent revolution in industrial and service robots ...
Development and analysis of alternative thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(2021-12-01)
Production of carbon-free fuels as alternatives for fossil fuels is a promising approach for controlling climate change and global warming. Hydrogen is considered as the key energy carrier of the future when it is produced ...
Towards molecular reconstruction in Coulomb explosion imaging
(2021-02-01)
The interaction of a fast laser with molecules at the femtosecond time scale, leads to the latter losing most of its valence electrons and become positively charged. The molecule which was initially in an equilibrium state, ...
The social determinants of health related to the increased prevalence and risk of diabetes among South Asians in Canada
(2021-11-01)
There continues to be a high prevalence and risk for diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes (T2D) among South Asians in Canada compared to the general population. Majority of current research continues to take biomedical and ...
