Design and development of an autonomous navigation system for an omni-directional four-wheeled mobile robot
(2012-01-01)
A navigation system developed for an omni-directional wheeled mobile robot, called
the Omnibot, is presented. This system is developed to enable the Omnibot to autonomously navigate, in a collision-free manner, along ...
Study of the effect of molten CuCl immersion test on alloys with high Ni-content with and without surface coatings
(2012-04-01)
The demand for hydrogen as a clean energy carrier has increased greatly. The Cu-Cl cycle is a promising thermochemical cycle that is currently being developed to be the large-scale method of hydrogen production. The lifetime ...
Simulation and control of a Marnoch heat engine
(2012-04-01)
The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of heat engine currently under development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The MHE can use waste or collected heat at temperatures that are currently unusable ...
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)
Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the
potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these
resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...
Codebook design for distributed relay beamforming system
(2012-04-01)
In FDD amplify-and-forward distributed relay network, codebook techniques are utilized
to feedback quantized CSI with limited cost. First, this thesis focuses on the phaseonly
codebook and with-power-control codebook design ...
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
(2012-03-01)
This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel
robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot
and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...
Energy and exergy analyses of biomass cogeneration systems
(2012-08-01)
Biomass cogeneration systems can generate power and process heat simultaneously from
a single energy resource efficiently. In this thesis, three biomass cogeneration systems are
examined. Parametric analysis of back pressure ...
Tamil mental health system consumers’ views on the utilization of community mental health resources
(2012-04-01)
The goal of this study was to examine the views and perspectives of Tamil mental health outpatients and mental health care workers on the impact social activities and social network has on mentally ill patients’ general ...
Mechanisms by which exercise promotes hippocampal function in both depressed and non-depressed individuals: A feasibility study
(2012-08-01)
Depression is one of the top ten health problems in the world, affecting millions of Canadians. Research indicates that exercise is an effective treatment for depression but it is not clear on exactly how and why it works. ...
Exploring Black-Canadian parent-youth sex communication
(2012-01-01)
Black-Canadian populations are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. In particular, Black-Canadian youth are noted to be at a greater risk of HIV infection due to their sexual risk behaviours. Many international studies ...
