Triton: a domain specific language for cyber-physical systems
(2021-04-01)
The design of cyber-physical systems is non-trivial and often filled with tedious, error-prone tasks that could be represented in a better way. Engineers often work with low-level languages such as C and C++, with real-time ...
Analytical and experimental study of the effect of cutting tool microgeometry on the impact resistance of milling tools
(2021-01-01)
This thesis conducted a two-part investigation into the ability of a milling tool cutting insert to resist the impacts that occur during the milling process, with respect to the cutting edge microgeometry. The first part ...
Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)
This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ...
Effect of cutting tool microgeometry when milling hardened steels, a finite element simulation and surface integrity analysis
(2021-01-01)
This research work presents a 3D finite element model for the milling of hardened steels. The model was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software and the Lagrangian approach was utilized. Experimental milling tests were ...
Development of a model to investigate the sustainability of Ontario’s future electricity supply through a dual life cycle lens
(2021-10-01)
Since the turn of the century, greenhouse gas emissions and their climate related impacts have been studied with increased vigor. A tool that has gained popularity in supporting the reduction of emissions is life cycle ...
Robotic and haptic assistance for kidney access during percutaneous nephrolithotomy
(2021-08-01)
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure for removing kidney stones. Gaining kidney access is the most challenging task in this procedure and the cause of many complications. This thesis presents ...
Before and during COVID-19: parent experiences, perceptions, and preferences regarding community-based physical activity
(2021-08-01)
Participation in community-based recreational physical activity can provide health benefits for children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD). This descriptive thematic study aimed to explore and ...
The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
(2021-10-01)
A significant amount of research focus has been dedicated to physical and mental fatigue individually, but their combined effects on physical performance are relatively underexplored. As such, the purpose of this pilot ...
Implementation strategies used to reduce Unplanned Extubations (UPE) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)
(2021-09-01)
This study analyzed unplanned extubation (UPE) reduction strategies as well as patient characteristics and other risk factors for all UPEs that occurred between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2019 in the neonatal intensive ...
Physiological responses to pedal-assist e-bike use in older adults
(2021-12-01)
Pedal-assist electric bicycles (pedelecs) have been found to elicit moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in younger adults, however, it is unknown if pedelec riding elicits MVPA in older adults or if ...
