(2016-10-01)
This study demonstrates the development of a paper-based microfluidic
device (μPAD) with a gold nanosensor (Au-TA-TG) to detect arsenic
contamination in Bangladesh groundwater at the World Health
Organization (WHO) ...
Machine learning classifiers for critical cardiac conditions
(2016-04-01)
Cardiac diseases are one of the leading causes of death in Canada. Current methods of diagnosing cardiac conditions require a manual and visual analysis of ECG and heart rate (RR interval) data. In this thesis, novel ...
A framework for provisioning algorithms as a service
(2016-02-01)
Designing, implementing and executing algorithms have become a relevant and important element in various fields. Public users and data researchers are interested in analyzing and interpreting data with shorter execution ...
Evaluation of the effects of molten CuCl on corrosion resistant coatings
(2016-12-01)
The world is facing energy crisis and pollution problems. Clean and renewable energy resources are gaining popularity day by day. Hydrogen is considered as clean energy carrier which is present in on earth in abundance ...
Design of a novel ferrite core based highly efficient wireless resonant inductive power transfer system
(2016-03-01)
Using ferrite magnetic cores improves the efficiency of IPT and magnetic resonance based IPT systems, and can reduce unwanted stray magnetic radiation in addition to improving coupling efficiency. Performance of different ...

Articulated heavy duty vehicles are widely used around the world for its economic and environmental benefits. A-train double is one of the most popular heavy duty vehicles in Canada. Despite its advantages, the spread of ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)
Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ...
Integration of microwave and millimeter wave bandpass filters with antennas
(2016-07-01)
Filters and antennas are essential elements in communication and radar systems. In a conventional design, antennas and filters are designed independently and then connected together through transitions and/or connectors, ...
