Petri net modeling of fault analysis for probabilistic risk assessment
(2013-04-01)
Fault trees and event trees have been widely accepted as the modeling strategy to perform Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA). However, there are several limitations associated with fault tree/event tree modeling. These ...
Development of energy compensated Geiger Muller detector based on the T2416A Canberra Co. GM detector
(2013-07-08)
Geiger Muller counters have been a fundamental device in radiation detection for decades due to their simplicity and low cost. Canberra Company has been designing and manufacturing Geiger Muller detectors in various designs ...
Simulation of dynamic response of Self-Powered-Inconel-Neutron-Detector lead cables using a semi-empirical model
(2013-11-01)
The work presented here was devoted to the modelling and simulation of the dynamic response of lead cables of Inconel self-powered neutron detectors in a CANDUpower reactor. The main goal was to develop a semi-empirical ...
Understanding personal support workers and their role in Ontario.
(2013-09-01)
There are an estimated 90,000 personal support workers (PSWs) in Ontario providing assistance with daily activities for individuals in hospitals, long-term care
facilities, adult day programs and home care yet little is ...
Approaches to accountability in the medical laboratory sector in Ontario.
(2013-10-01)
Purpose: Greater accountability within the Ontario medical laboratory sector is a high priority and desirable. This sector provides approximately 80% of the objective data for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. The goal ...
Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
(2013-04-01)
Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) exhibit unstable motion modes
at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer swing, and roll-over. These unstable
motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. On the other ...
Development of an actuation system for a specialized fixture: providing two degrees of freedom for single point incremental forming
(2013-02-01)
In this thesis, an actuation system is developed for a Two-Axis Gyroscopic (TAG) adapter.
This adapter is a fixture with two auxiliary axes which is used for the Single Point
Incremental Forming (SPIF) technique to enhance ...
Simulation-based fault propagation analysis of process industry using process variable interaction analysis
(2013-01-01)
There are increasing safety concerns in chemical and petrochemical process industry. The huge explosion of Nowruz oil Field platform that happened in Persian gulf-IRAN at 1983, along with other disastrous events have ...
Sum-rate maximization for active channels
(2013-04-01)
In conventional wireless channel models, there is no control on the gains of different
subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signal undergoes attenuation and
phase shift and is subject to multi-path propagation ...
Effects of combined aerobic and resistance exercise on quality of life and fitness of individuals who are post cancer treatment: A pilot study
(2013-07-01)
Cancer Survivors are defined as any individual who has been diagnosed
with cancer and completed treatment, who may or may not be free of the disease
(Speck et al., 2010). Cancer survivors can experience numerous, debilitating ...
