Enablers and barriers of suicide risk assessments in inpatient and emergency department settings: a scoping review
(2022-04-01)
According to past mental health reports, the occurrence of suicide within inpatient healthcare facilities ranges between 1.0–4.5/1000 patients amongst North American, European, Australian and Chinese hospitals each year. ...
Exploring internet research process and construction tasks as a technological skill development tool
(2022-05-01)
Continuous digital skill development is important in today’s workforce due to ever evolving technologies and workforce expectations. This study aims to help develop technological skills through a combination of research ...
Special isotopes of the FUGEN nuclear reactor
(2022-04-01)
The Canadian and Japanese nuclear regulatory bodies have shown dissimilarities between the isotopes considered to be of interest in decommissioning similarly styled heavy water reactors. This research examines the quantity ...
Nursing and policy: nurses perspectives on ending hallway healthcare in Ontario
(2022-04-01)
Drawing from elements of street-level bureaucracy this thesis examines the experiences and perspectives of six nurses (registered practical nurses and registered nurses) and their work with patients designated as alternate ...
Development of neutron monitor for fusion systems
(2022-04-01)
Currently, the detection of neutrons employs sensors with a high thermal neutron response embedded in a thermalizing medium. However, this approach does not provide much information on neutron energy and, therefore, is ...
Modeling and experimental investigation of renewable energy and ammonia-based systems for carbon capturing and useful outputs
(2022-04-01)
This thesis work focuses on developing ammonia-based carbon capturing systems that produce useful chemical outputs to offset the energy penalty typically imposed by implementing a carbon capture retrofitting to a power ...
A framework for proactive fault tolerance in cloud-IoT applications
(2022-04-01)
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the cloud has several benefits, including expanding local IoT resources and improving cloud-IoT application performance. Cloud computing can benefit from IoT devices and ...
Modeling and analysis of off-road tire cornering characteristics
(2022-05-01)
Cornering performance characteristics of wheeled vehicles substantially rely on the forces/moments generated from interactions between pneumatic tires and terrains. Accurate models are thus required to predict these ...
A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
(2022-04-01)
We use a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to design a resource allocation policy for downlink transmit beamforming at a multi-antenna BS that is equipped with a massive number of antennas and ...
Design and development of a traction motor emulator using a three-phase bidirectional buck-boost AC-DC converter
(2022-04-01)
An industrial drive testing, with a ‘real-machine’ can pave way, for some serious issues to test-bench, motor, and the operator. A slight disturbance in control logic amid testing, can damage the physical machine or drive. ...
