An enhanced Teager Huang transform technique for bearing fault detection
(2021)Rolling element bearings are widely used in rotating machinery. Bearing health condition monitoring plays a vital role in predictive maintenance to recognize bearing faults at an early stage to prevent machinery performance ... -
Enhancing biomolecule production from Bacillus velezensis PhCL using low-cost agricultural residues as feedstock and improving biomass hydrolysis through enzyme mutagenesis
(2023)Bioproduction have been considered an alternative option for obtaining useful and eco-friendly chemicals for industrial applications. Bacillus velezensis, a trending bacterium first isolated in 2005, is well-known for ... -
Enhancing machine vision using human cognition from EEG analysis
(2022)Visual classification is the perceptible/computational effort of arranging objects and visual contexts into distinct labels. Humans and machines have mastered this advanced problem in their own varied contexts. However, ... -
The enigma of Daphnia death rates
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1978)Birth rates, rates of population change, and mortality rates were computed for Daphnia pulex and Daphnia rosea collected at three separate stations in 2.5-ha meromictic Crawford Lake. Birth and death rates for the same ... -
Enriching Communities with Community-based Arts Education
(2015)This research aims to describe the value of community-based arts education. Community-based arts organizations focus on community concerns and issues as well as support individual development (Hoffman Davis, 2010), yet ... -
Entropy-based reliability analysis and design in slope engineering
(2018)Canada has a wide range of landslide types reflecting the diverse geomorphic and geologic environments in the nation’s landscape. Many civil engineering projects are located on or near sloping ground, and thus are ... -
Environment Tobacco Smoke Exposure Reduction and Smoking Cessation Interventions Targeted at Parental Populations: A Meta-analysis and Exploration of Implementation Measures
(2016)Background Second hand smoke can cause disease and death in both adults and children who do not smoke (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2006). To protect children, interventions with parents who smoke have been ... -
Environmental and economic impact assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
(2016)Bioenergy is becoming very popular in Ontario with the 2014 ban on the use of coal in power generation. Biochar is produced as a by-product or a co-product of bioenergy. Past literature shows that if biochar is produced ... -
Environmental Considerations for Wet Mining Peatlands in Northwestern Ontario
(2012-11-10)Signi cant changes in water quality were detected using a Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) experimental design. Porewater showed increases in pH, alkalinity, conductivity (including Ca, Mg, K, Na), some metals (Sr, Ba, ... -
Environmental control of seawater geochemistry in a Mesoarchean Peritidal System, Woman Lake, Superior Province
(2020)The 2.857±5 Ga (this study) carbonate platform at Woman Lake, Ontario, Canada, presents a unique opportunity to fill a 130 million year knowledge gap on early carbonate sedimentology and ocean chemistry between similar ... -
Environmental drivers of succession in jack pine-dominated stands of boreal Ontario
(2008)Spanning boreal Ontario, photo chronosequencing was used to observe change through time in 178 stands comprised at least in part by jack pine (Pinus bansiana Lamb.). Linked to growth and yield monitoring plot networks ... -
Environmental education and the Cheetah Conservation Fund : exploring children's value-based relationships with cheetahs / by Courtney Hughes.
(2008)For this thesis I collaborated with the Namibian Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) to research how farming children perceive and experience cheetahs. I also explored how CCF’s educational documents might affect the ways ... -
Environmental effects on the application of spring load restrictions on low volume roads in Northern Ontario / by Jeffrey Chapin.
(2010)Many jurisdictions throughout Canada and the United States utilize Spring Load Restriction (SLRs) on low volume roads to minimize the damage during spring thaw. The main objective of this research is to develop a SLR method ... -
