Bridging the digital divide: examining the use and access to e-health based technologies by millennials and older adults in Ontario, Canada
(2020-06-01)
The digital divide is the gap between demographics and regions that have access to information communication technologies and those who do not. The older adult generation may not be familiar with e-Health usage, compared ...
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 ...
Design and evaluation of solar and geothermal energy systems integrated with Cu-Cl cycle
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes solar and geothermal based three multigeneration systems. System 1 consists of a bifacial photovoltaic (BiPV) plant, multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination unit and, proton exchange membrane ...
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 ...
Development of eco-driving control system for connected and automated hybrid electric vehicles
(2020-04-01)
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) were designed as a potential solution to the ever-increasing global problems of the energy crisis and global warming through flexibly utilizing both fuel and electrical energy. Besides, the ...
