Exploring internet research process and construction tasks as a technological skill development tool
(2022-05-01)
Continuous digital skill development is important in today’s workforce due to ever evolving technologies and workforce expectations. This study aims to help develop technological skills through a combination of research ...
Design and development of a traction motor emulator using a three-phase bidirectional buck-boost AC-DC converter
(2022-04-01)
An industrial drive testing, with a ‘real-machine’ can pave way, for some serious issues to test-bench, motor, and the operator. A slight disturbance in control logic amid testing, can damage the physical machine or drive. ...
Towards a computational model of information trust
(2022-02-01)
Information has been an essential element in the development of collaborative and cooperative frameworks. From decision making to the attainment of different goals, people have been relatively adept at making judgments ...
Examining interview ground rules in formal interviews with children
(2022-08-01)
Within the context of formal interviews with children, accuracy and clarity are paramount. Thus, protocols for interviewing children establish ground rules to encourage children to, for example, say “I don’t know,” “I don’t ...
Simulation and modelling to develop a nanopore-based device for ricin detection
(2022-08-01)
Nanopore-based protein detection represents an exciting opportunity to develop ultrasensitive diagnostic devices that are both portable and affordable. Aptamer-encoded nanopores detect target molecules by binding to them ...
Development of upper limb customized non- isomorphic VR interact ions for reaching, grabbing, and placing objects
(2022-08-01)
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming adopted in education, training, and entertainment due to its growing affordability. The variability of user preferences and physical capabilities in VR requires configurable settings in ...
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ...
Investigating proteomic profiles of skin mucus and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to low concentrations of waterborne nickel
(2022-08-01)
The Ontario Ring of Fire located in the James Bay Lowlands is a nickel rich ore with ongoing mining proposals. This raises the possibility of nickel contamination in one of Ontario’s most precious freshwater regions and ...
Deep transfer-learning based lithium-ion battery fault diagnosis
(2022-08-01)
Fault detection in lithium-ion batteries (LiB) is paramount to ensuring the long life and proper functioning of the batteries. To that end, this thesis proposes a combined fault diagnosis framework that leverages voltage ...
Intentionality in task design research: examining the design process of an online learning tool about mathematics in society
(2022-08-01)
This thesis explores the design intentions and considerations made in the creation of an online learning tool for adults. Research in task design includes two components: design as intention and design as implementation. ...
