Calculating thermochemical equilibrium for multiphysics simulations of nuclear materials : development of yellowjacket gibbs energy minimiser
(2022-11-01)
Nuclear fuels and structural materials are highly complex systems that are remarkably challenging to understand and model. Material behaviours are influenced by multiple physical phenomena such as mechanics, chemistry, ...
A privacy preservation framework for smart connected toys
(2019-09-01)
Advances within the toy industry and interconnectedness have resulted in the rapid and pervasive development of Smart Connected Toys (SCTs), built to aid children in learning, socialization, and development. A SCT is a ...
A real-time 12-lead electrocardiogram remote patient monitoring and analytics framework
(2022-10-01)
This work presents XBeats: A machine learning-based framework for real-time electrocardiogram monitoring and analysis that uses edge computing and data analytics for early anomaly detection. The framework encompasses a ...
The effects of forward head posture on sensorimotor integration and neck and shoulder proprioception
(2019-12-01)
Forward head posture (FHP) is commonly seen in today’s society as a result of excess technology use. The central nervous system uses the position of the head with respect to the neck when interpreting the location of the ...
TCP congestion control using reinforcement learning
(2022-10-01)
TCP, a transport layer protocol which ensures the reliable delivery of information on the network, is the basis of Internet connectivity, with 85% of the worlds Internet traffic being TCP based. TCP however, is slow to ...
Development of a method for genetic optimization of aerodynamic devices
(2021-06-01)
Driving stability, fuel efficiency and soiling reduction are important for modern vehicles. This thesis has developed a novel method for genetic optimization of aerodynamic devices for road vehicle applications with the ...
Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
(2022-11-01)
Remote Canadian communities rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs. Providing such generators with fuel year-round presents challenges because of inclement weather and long transportation distances involved. ...
Design and development of an autonomous flying excavator platform using a drone
(2022-09-01)
In this research, a drone-based excavation platform prototype is presented with the primary goals of balancing stability during excavation, sensing, and excavating the soil pile autonomously without human intervention. ...
Parents’ perceptions of their children’s lie telling in the context of sibling relationships
(2021-08-01)
Familial influences on children’s deception are understudied. This thesis examined children’s lie telling in the context of sibling relationships by surveying parents on the types of lies told by children in the sibling ...
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 ...
