Depletion induced bundling of rod-like colloids and simulations of triple helix bundles
(2023-06-01)
We ran molecular dynamics simulations of rod-like colloids acting under depletion forces. In these simulations, we found bundling of the rods above a given strength of the depletion force. We then analyzed the bundle ...
Efficient design of reconfigurable intelligent surface assisted multi-group multicast beamforming
(2023-09-01)
This thesis considers a multi-group multicasting scenario facilitated by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We propose low-complexity scalable algorithms for the joint design of the base station (BS) multicast ...
Experimental investigation of dark fermentation of poplar leaves for biohydrogen production
(2023-08-01)
Biohydrogen, a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy alternative, is pivotal in transitioning to a more energy-efficient future. Thesis research explores the variations of H2 hydrogen production potential of ...
The challenges and benefits of assistive technology and educational programs for educators, caregivers, and youth with multiple exceptionalities/special needs
(2023-08-23)
Assistive technology (AT) is a process that provides opportunities for youth with multiple exceptionalities/special needs to learn, grow, and discover meaningful avenues in order to navigate through an evolving digital ...
A hybrid battery cell voltage equalizer considering thermal behavior and capacity fade characteristics
(2023-08-01)
The thesis focuses on developing a robust, high-fidelity lithium-ion battery model adaptive to changes in operating temperature, aiming for accurate estimation of state of health (SOH). The thesis proposes two novel methods ...
Analysis and techniques of cyberattack types classification in smart grids
(2023-09-01)
The smart electric grids rely on integrating the information and communication technologies (ICT) into the electric power grid infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of information for an enhanced and economic operation. ...
Exploring the facilitators of adapted mountain biking based on the lived experiences of adults living with a spinal cord injury
(2023-08-01)
Research related to adapted mountain biking for people living with spinal cord injuries has primarily focused on the barriers that exist. Facilitators of adapted mountain biking have not been well-researched, and a better ...
Stressors in early learning environments and their impact on the mental health and well-being of early childhood educators
(2023-08-04)
Early childhood educators (ECEs) are experts in early learning for young children. This study aimed to identify the stressors ECEs experience in the early learning sector and their impact on the mental health and well-being ...
Experimental investigation of novel proton exchange membrane fuel cell and battery integrated system
(2023-08-01)
In this thesis study, a PEM fuel cell and battery integrated system is developed. The performance assessments of the PEM fuel cell stack are performed through the polarization curve, energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, ...
Youth justice policy implementation – community organizations’ perspective
(2023-10-01)
This dissertation is situated at the intersection of two gaps in Canadian youth justice literature – limited scholarship focused on youth justice community-based organizations (CBOs) and few studies investigating the impact ...
