Deep learning methods applied to anomaly detection in vehicle manufacturing and operations
(2019-09-01)
As one of the most common modes of transportation, vehicles are very closely related to our lives. As a result, safety is an important issue in both vehicle production process and vehicle operations. Recently, unmanned ...
Investigation of drying conditions for dental practice loads
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates different drying techniques for dental practice loads experimentally and numerically. Several experiments are carried out by changing both top and bottom wall temperatures while changing the ranges ...
Active transport and concentration of analytes in microfluidic paper based analytical devices using ion concentration polarization
(2019-04-01)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have a high potential for miniaturizing complex testing functions, since they are inexpensive, disposable, and portable. Paper has the advantage over traditional fluid ...
An investigation of early radiation damage in exposed eye-lenses of rainbow trout
(2019-08-01)
The objective of this work is to contribute to the study of radiation effects in non-human biota and potentially to the study of eye-lens damage in humans by investigating the effects of low-energy X-rays on the lenses of ...
Design and construction of a one-dimensional particle tracker for measurement of alpha particle stopping power
(2019-08-01)
The energy deposited by a charged particle in a medium is non-uniform and peaks near the end of the particle’s path. The energy deposition through the medium is known as stopping power and the shape of this function is ...
Optimization of a GEM-based detector to measure tritium and discriminate against other radiation types
(2019-11-01)
Tritium poses a radioprotection issue, in the Canadian Nuclear industry due to the operation of its fleet of Canadian Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) heavy water reactors. Although it is a less penetrative radionuclide, tritium ...
One-dimensional single phase natural circulation model of FLiNaK in Molten Salt Loop
(2019-04-01)
This work studied a coolant for a molten salt type reactor in terms of a natural circulation behavior. A natural circulation model using MATLAB was developed. This model is for the Molten Salt Loop currently under development ...
Development and pilot of a survey to build capacity for examining interactions of constraints to sport participation among adolescent girls
(2019-11-01)
Sport participation (SP) declines among girls during adolescence, and though many constraints to SP have been identified, it is not known whether or how they interact. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a survey ...
A feasibility study of an eHealth intervention for dietary sodium reduction in primary care
(2019-08-01)
This thesis assessed the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol to implement a Sodium Calculator (SC) into primary care settings to determine if it improves quality of sodium reduction advice provided ...
Design and control of resilient interconnected microgrids for reliable mass transit systems
(2019-03-01)
Mass transit systems are relied on a daily basis to transport millions of passengers and bring billions of dollars' worth of economic goods to market. While some forms of mass transit rely on a fuel, electrified railway ...
