Investigation into potential Dirofilaria immitis drug targets through rational anthelmintic synthesis and design
(2022-04-01)
Dirofilaria immitis is a mosquito-transmitted parasitic nematode that can cause debilitating disease in dogs. D. immitis is present in Canada and over the years has increased in prevalence due to several factors including ...
A benchmarked dynamic model of xenon behavior in a molten salt reactor
(2019-12-01)
Molten salt reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that are being considered for deployment in the fourth generation nuclear power technology. Molten salt reactors use molten a alkali / actinide halide salt melt at ...
Tension and possibility: navigating experiences in graduate studies through a/r/tographic currere
(2023-04-01)
This thesis is an artful act of resistance. Combining autoethnography, a/r/tography, and the method of currere to form an a/r/tographic currere, this work gathers narrative experiences in graduate studies. What is revealed ...
The psychosocial impact of surviving childhood cancer and reassimilating back into society in young adults
(2023-05-01)
Approximately 82% of children with childhood cancer survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis. Survivors are faced with a new reality and are faced with having to navigate that reality based on their own perspectives. ...
The conceptualization and parameterization of a gaseous detector rasterizing pinhole gamma camera
(2016-08-01)
This thesis details the conceptualization and parameterization of a gaseous detector rasterizing pinhole gamma camera. In this thesis, there is a literature review that describes the historical development of gamma imaging, ...
Matching expectations and reality in AI systems - cybersecurity use case
(2023-04-01)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a growing field in computer science which develops intelligent systems capable of performing things that a human mind can do. The manufacturers of security systems integrate AI capabilities ...
Autonomous driving control strategies for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety system
(2023-05-01)
This study aims to develop automated driving strategies and integrated active control system for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) to enhance road transport efficiency, directional performance, and safety. ...
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
(2023-05-01)
This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow structures at the rear of three-dimensional bluff bodies
(2023-05-01)
Flows around bluff bodies have complex structures, which create drag, surface contamination and stability issues for transportation systems. The standard Ahmed body (SAB) is a simplified representative three-dimensional ...
Investigation into the stability of low-inertia micro-grids
(2023-05-01)
This work examines the stability of low inertia micro-grids (MGs). The lack of inertia in such power electronics dominated grid is a pressing matter that directly impacts its operation and stability. The investigated MG ...
