Investigating the effectiveness of an exercise intervention on sleep behaviour and problem behaviour in children ages 6-10 with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2020-08-01)
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience problematic sleep behaviour and demonstrate low levels of participation in physical activity (PA) and exercise. There is a bidirectional relationship between ...
Evidence-based claims adjudication: a technology-based learning tool for automobile insurance claims adjusters
(2020-03-01)
My thesis aimed to 1) develop an evidence-based claims adjudication framework for automobile insurance claims adjusters; 2) develop a technology-based learning (TBL) tool to train Aviva Canada claims adjusters about ...
Examining the experiences of parents and caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder around aquatic environments
(2020-12-01)
Through transcendental phenomenological qualitative research we investigated the experiences of parents and caregivers of children with ASD when accessing water environments. Semi-structured individual interviews were used ...
The effects of anaerobic swim ergometer training on sprint performance in adolescent swimmers
(2020-04-01)
The effects of anaerobic training using a swim ergometer on sprint swimming performance have not been investigated in competitive adolescent swimmers. The purpose of this study was to compare 4-weeks of sprint interval ...
An evaluation method for the evaluation of big data based streaming analytic clinical decision support systems
(2020-04-01)
This thesis presents a methodology for evaluating a scalable clinical decision support systems (CDSS) that uses high frequency streaming physiological data using a holistic approach that includes the presence of population ...
Design, development and experimental validation of a lab-scale system for rapid rotational molding of functionally graded integral-skin cellular polyethylene composites
(2020-03-01)
An existing lab-scale experimental setup system, originally developed for a patented Rapid Rotational Foam Molding (RRFM) process, was re-designed, built, and its functionality was successfully experimentally verified. The ...
Harmonic emissions assessment for common DC and AC electric vehicle charging station architectures
(2020-10-01)
Future transportation needs are going to be met by Electric Vehicles (EVs) because of global pollution by oil-based vehicles and climate change. In order to meet the charging demand and range anxiety of EV users, Fast ...
Modelling and validation of agricultural tire-terrain interaction
(2020-12-01)
The use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and simulation software has been extensively used for many engineering applications. More precisely, computerized methods have paved way for accurately simulating tire-terrain ...
Development of an integrated tracking control algorithm and a test platform for autonomous excavation
(2020-03-01)
Since construction is part of the industrial sector where a large amount of labor is required and workers operate under harsh environmental conditions, the transformation from manual to autonomous operation in modern ...
Combustion and emission characteristics of ammonia blended fuels in a spark-ignited engine
(2020-06-01)
Climate change and fossil fuel depletion has brought attention to the need for alternative fuels. Ammonia shows great potential as an alternative fuel because it is carbon-free and can be produced renewably. In this study ...
