Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)
Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ...
Guiding pre-service teachers to making
(2022-12-01)
As our society becomes further driven by technology, schools need to consider adopting student-centered maker pedagogies that harness the capabilities of technology while disrupting traditional teacher-centered learning. ...
Virtual machine detection through Central Processing Unit (CPU) detail anomalies
(2022-12-01)
Malware analysts commonly use virtual machines to provide safe environments to study malware. Malware authors in response, include virtual machine detection functions in their malware so it changes its behavior should a ...
Dynamic fuzzy reliability and safety assessment of passive safety systems in small modular reactors
(2023-04-01)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have garnered significant interest in recent years, and they may play an essential role in the future of energy supply and power generation. One major advantage associated with SMRs is their ...
Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
(2023-05-01)
Molten salt type small modular reactors are presently being developed as an option for providing electricity and alternative energy forms. The current proposed designs do not document how decommissioning will be addressed. ...
Determinants of health care needs in relation to vision correction among adolescents in the United Arab Emirates: a cross-sectional study
(2023-05-01)
Uncorrected refractive error (URE) has been suggested to affect children’s development, educational performance, and socialization. Sociodemographic and environmental differences among individuals may impact their accessibility ...
An optimization-based approach to image fusion using structural similarity
(2023-05-01)
This thesis examines a framework for solving optimization problems involving structural similarity index measure Mean. Image fusion involves combining multiple images to preserve their most desirable characteristics. The ...
An investigation into Manganese(2+) interferences and retrospective dose assessment of shelled species using EPR spectroscopy
(2023-05-01)
High intensity Mn²⁺ peaks in calcified tissues of shells are known to impact the lower dose detection limit in retrospective electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. This thesis investigates the factors causing Mn²⁺ ...
The psychosocial impact of surviving childhood cancer and reassimilating back into society in young adults
(2023-05-01)
Approximately 82% of children with childhood cancer survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis. Survivors are faced with a new reality and are faced with having to navigate that reality based on their own perspectives. ...
Design of a residential air source heat pump for extremely cold climates
(2023-05-01)
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient systems suitable for space heating applications, however, their performance drastically degrades in low ambient temperatures. An innovative design is proposed in this thesis that ...
