Development of a 37-element fuel bundle for the production of molybdenum-99 in CANDU power reactors.
(2014-08-01)
In this study, the potential use of CANDU power reactors for the production of Mo-99 is assessed. Five different modifications of a 37-element fuel bundle that could be used for the production of Mo-99 in existing CANDU ...
Everybody's got a story: examining the building of empathy and understanding for the bully, the bullied, and the bystander through digital storytelling
(2014-04-01)
Digital storytelling as a pedagogical practice has been extensively explored as a means of increasing engagement, developing 21st century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication, and ...
Moderator displacers for reducing coolant void reactivity in CANDU reactors: a neutronics scoping study.
(2014-08-01)
When the coolant is voided in a CANDU lattice, the net reactivity change is positive, due primarily to the fact that the coolant and moderator are separated and the coolant volume is much smaller than the moderator volume. ...
Understanding factors that influence college faculty in deciding to adopt digital technologies in their practice.
(2014-08-01)
College faculty in Ontario are using a variety of digital technologies, at differing levels, in their teaching and learning practices. College administrators are looking to faculty to help meet the challenges associated ...
Development of a PSA-based safety assessment and management framework for nuclear-based hydrogen generation system.
(2014-08-01)
The nuclear-based Cooper-Chloride (Cu-Cl) thermochemical cycle a promising method for future large-scale hydrogen generation. The nuclear-based hydrogen generation leads to new challenge for system safety due to the ...
The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)
The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ...
Alteration in neck neuromuscular responses and upper limb proprioception in response to neck muscle fatigue
(2014-07-01)
Neck and upper limb disorders constitute two of the most frequent musculoskeletal
problems that place a huge burden on the healthcare system. Neck muscles have a very
high density of muscle sensory input to the central ...
Monte-Carlo-simulation-based performance analysis of the heat transfer process in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl Cycle.
(2014-08-01)
As a crucial step in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl cycle, the performance analysis of heat transfer process is of paramount importance. However, as a newly built system, the major obstacle of applying ...
Developing 1-D heat transfer correlations for supercritical water and carbon dioxide in vertical tubes
(2014-03-01)
Taking into account the expected increase in global energy demands and increasing climate change issues, there is a pressing need to develop new environmentally sustainable energy systems. Nuclear energy will play a major ...
Achieving high efficiency thermoelectric heating and cooling with metal foam heat exchangers
(2014-04-01)
This thesis examines the development of a high efficiency heat pump system using
thermoelectric (TE) and reticulated metal foam (RMF) technologies to power a vehicle`s
battery thermal management system. The focus is split ...
