Modeling and analysis of metal cutting process using self-propelled rotary tools
(2021-02-01)
Machining difficult-to-cut materials is still one of the challenges facing different industries such as aerospace, nuclear and automotive sectors. That’s mainly because of the excessive heat generated, which affects the ...
Pre-service teachers’ views of trauma-informed practices in online classrooms: a focus on refugee students and a sense of belonging
(2022-08-01)
This mixed methods study aimed to explore the pre-service teachers’ knowledge of trauma-informed practices, especially in the area of supporting refugee students and creating a sense of belonging for them in online spaces. ...
A heart rate and skin response module for adaptive difficulty in virtual reality
(2022-09-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming an ubiquitous technology currently being in many areas as it offers simulated realistic environments suitable for training. Despite the advances in VR technology, one-size-fits solutions ...
Impact of terrorism awareness training on civilian likelihood to report pre-incident behaviours
(2020-08-01)
This study investigated whether terrorism awareness training impacts the likelihood to report pre-incident behaviours associated with terrorism using infographics from the U.S. “See Something, Say Something” campaign. ...
Gendered pathways: family violence as a primary pathway into homelessness for women
(2022-08-01)
This thesis analyzes secondary data from a study done on 30 homeless men and women in a region in Southern Ontario to assess the gendering of homeless pathways between each group. Qualitative and quantitative methods were ...
Development and initial testing of a virtual simulation training module to teach microtomy
(2022-08-01)
Background: Microtomy is a procedure that medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) use to cut tissue samples. The aim of this thesis is to use the think-aloud protocol to develop a virtual simulation training module for ...
A nonlinear and nonlocal model for animal aggregation
(2022-09-01)
An aggregation model is a kind of model used to show the dynamics of the distribution of the population of organisms. Mathematically, we can use a partial differential equation to model the density of an organism at different ...
What lies beneath: an examination of the underlying components of deception detection
(2022-12-01)
Little is known about the underlying components that are responsible for the processes involved with decision-making in deception detection. Throughout this dissertation, I explored previous (mis)conceptions about ...
Optimized clean hydrogen production using nuclear small modular reactor and concentrated solar power as a renewable energy source
(2022-12-01)
According to current predictions, hydrogen will serve as a key fuel and energy source by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this research an integral Pressurized Water Reactor-type Small Modular Reactor (iPWR-type ...
A novel deep learning architecture and large-scale benchmark for robust object detection in traffic surveillance and analysis
(2022-12-01)
Upstream technologies such as traffic surveillance provide helpful information to downstream intelligent transportation systems intending to improve the safety, mobility, and efficiency of road-users whilst reducing their ...
