Development of an actuation system for a specialized fixture: providing two degrees of freedom for single point incremental forming
(2013-02-01)
In this thesis, an actuation system is developed for a Two-Axis Gyroscopic (TAG) adapter.
This adapter is a fixture with two auxiliary axes which is used for the Single Point
Incremental Forming (SPIF) technique to enhance ...
Sum-rate maximization for active channels
(2013-04-01)
In conventional wireless channel models, there is no control on the gains of different
subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signal undergoes attenuation and
phase shift and is subject to multi-path propagation ...
Simulation-based fault propagation analysis of process industry using process variable interaction analysis
(2013-01-01)
There are increasing safety concerns in chemical and petrochemical process industry. The huge explosion of Nowruz oil Field platform that happened in Persian gulf-IRAN at 1983, along with other disastrous events have ...
Experimental investigation of a catalyst under various solar light conditions for hydrogen production.
(2013-09-01)
The light absorption characteristics of the photocatalyst {[Ru(bpy)2(dpp)]2RhBr2}5+ and
the photochemical Ru(bpy)2(dpp)2+ is investigated. Extinction coefficient versus
wavelength is determined for both a low intensity ...
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)
This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...
Experimental modelling of surface roughness and dynamic friction coefficient of diamond like carbon coated shafts
(2013-12-01)
Companies that coat their products with DLC often have strict surface roughness and friction coefficient goals. This research investigates the surface roughness and friction coefficient properties of uncoated and DLC coated ...
Development and analysis of a solar-based integrated system with a CO2 Rankine power cycle
(2013-10-01)
The current work is a thermodynamic-based design and analysis of a solar-based
integrated system for power production. In this regards, a reheat supercritical carbon
dioxide (S-CO2) Rankine cycle is proposed. This cycle ...
Modified constraint-induced movement therapy in a day camp for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy: intervention effects and consideration of personal factors
(2013-04-01)
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) has been demonstrated to yield functional improvements for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP); however, many studies have reported inconsistent findings with ...
Conspiracy of silence: Cultural dissonance as a risk factor for the development of eating disorders in second generation South Asian women.
(2013-07-01)
This exploratory study examines whether traditional South Asian cultural practices, norms and values influence body image and body dissatisfaction in Canadian South Asian women, and whether these factors are involved in ...
Understanding personal support workers and their role in Ontario.
(2013-09-01)
There are an estimated 90,000 personal support workers (PSWs) in Ontario providing assistance with daily activities for individuals in hospitals, long-term care
facilities, adult day programs and home care yet little is ...
