Impacts of the TRC and ALRC reports on Indigenous correctional programming and services: a cross-country comparison of Canada and Australia
(2020-09-01)
Indigenous peoples have been overrepresented in the Canadian and Australian criminal justice systems for decades. Commissions were established in both of the commonwealth countries, which produced reports addressing the ...
Predicting the threat of death in stalking cases through Artificial Neural Network
(2020-10-01)
Stalking is a complex phenomenon that needs to be explained through several frameworks of research. During the years, scientists from the psychological, criminological, psychological, and legal fields made important steps ...
Increasing experience sharing through regulation instructions
(2020-12-01)
Experience sharing is an individual’s tendency to resonate with and take on the sensory, motor, and affective experiences of others. While traditional conceptualizations of this process argue its automaticity, recent ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
Development and modeling of a lab-scale integrated copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(2020-08-01)
Hydrogen is one of the most important energy carriers, clean fuels, and storage media in the upcoming future. Hydrogen production through the thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle is one of the most promising methods ...
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia comprise two important clean fuels, which are expected to play a vital role in the development of clean energy production and utilization. Currently, their production relies heavily on fossil fuel-based ...
Development and assessment of renewable ammonia and methanol production systems
(2020-04-01)
In this thesis, four renewable energy-based integrated systems for sustainable communities are developed. System 1 consists of a single-stage OTEC plant integrated with an ammonia production and district cooling system. ...
Toward enhancing metaheuristic optimization algorithms using center-based sampling strategies for solving single- and multi- objective large-scale problems
(2020-12-01)
Over the last decade, metaheuristic algorithms have become well-established approaches utilized for solving complex real-world optimization problems. Most metaheuristic algorithms have used stochastic strategies in their ...
A wireless communication based active safety system for articulated heavy vehicles
(2020-04-01)
To date, various active safety systems, have been developed to improve the safety of road vehicles. This dissertation presents a novel active trailer steering (ATS) system using wireless communication to exchange data among ...
