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 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 ...
Leakage-corrected discontinuity factors for a second-generation Th-Pu pressure-tube SCWR.
(2014-08-01)
The neutron flux throughout a reactor core should be calculated, ideally, by solving the neutron transport equation for a highly detailed geometric model of the core. Since this is computationally impractical, approximate ...
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 ...
Development of a semi-autonomous directional and spectroscopic radiation detection mobile platform
(2014-03-01)
This thesis presents a method for a small, inexpensive mobile robot equipped with a single high resolution scintillation detector to quickly survey an area and convey information about local sources of gamma radiation to ...
Micro-differential evolution: diversity enhancement and comparative study.
(2014-08-01)
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), such as the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, suffer
from high computational time due to large population size and nature of evaluation, to
mention two major reasons. The micro-EAs employ ...
Nonlinear vibration and chaotic motion of uniform and non-uniform carbon nanotube resonators.
(2014-07-01)
Vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is very essential field owing to
their many promising applications in tiny instruments. The unique and interesting
properties of CNTs, particularly their mechanical and electrical ...
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. ...
Design and implementation process for controls integration using CAN bus on a full function electric vehicle conversion
(2014-03-01)
From the electrical engineering perspective, this thesis addresses the design and
implementation of the conversion process from a hybrid electric to a full function electric
vehicle (FFEV). The architecture selection process ...
