Time-domain steady-state analysis of circuits with multiple adaptive grids
(2005)An effective adaptive algorithm to calculate the steady-state response of circuits is developed. This algorithm offers a powerful alternative to traditional steady-state simulation techniques, such as the shooting method ... -
Tissue culture system facilitates examination of gene expression during breakage of vegetative dormancy in the potato tuber shoot apical meristem
(2008)While the shoot apical meristem's role during dormancy emergence in seeds is relatively well-understood, molecular factors governing vegetative endodormancy and sprouting in tuberous plants have not been well studied. A ... -
TO DIE A 'CANADIAN': How Nineteenth-Century European Immigrants Influenced the Culture of Death in Canada
(2016)To understand the mystery of why modern attitudes toward death assumed their current forms, it is necessary to explore their socio-historical roots. This thesis focuses specifically on the cultural interpretations of death ... -
Tobacco use as a risk indicator for periodontal disease in a sample of Northwestern Ontario residents / by Ann Marie Chlebovec.
(2006)According to Pairo and Neill (2002), tobacco use has been identified as a significant risk factor in the development and progression of periodontal disease. However, throughout the literature the effects of smoking on ... -
Tool for measuring self-control in athletes
(1985)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool based on Rosenbaum's (1980) Self-Control Schedule (SCS) for measuring self-control in athletes. A questionnaire was developed which in its final form, ... -
Tool for measuring self-preserved "pressure" in athletes
(1984)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool for measuring self-perceived "pressure", a situational variant in athletes. A checklist was developed and in its final form contained 16 items. The ... -
Toward a citizens' guide to sustainable forest management in Newfoundland and Labrador
(2000)The management of forests has dramatically changed in the past few decades. Forest managers no longer can prepare and implement forest management plans in isolation of other resource values and local citizens. Today, the ... -
Toward lightweight fusion of AI logic and EEG sensors to enable ultra edge-based EEG analytics on IoT devices
(2021)Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis has garnered attention in the research domain due to its ability to detect various neural activities starting from brain seizures to a person’s concentration level. To make it more ... -
Towards a trans pedagogy of solidarity: creating trauma-informed, anti-oppressive learning environments to support gender diverse learners
(2019)This Master of Education equips educators and school administrators who wish to better support trans and gender diverse students in the classroom and throughout the education system. This work introduces the historical ... -
Towards auction mechanisms for peer-to-peer energy trading in smart grids
(2019)The conventional energy grid is being replaced with the new emerging smart grid infras- tructure. This can be attributed to the fact that it only supports unidirectional energy ow, i.e., energy is transmitted from the ... -
Towards designing AI-aided lightweight solutions for key challenges in sensing, communication and computing layers of IoT: smart health use-cases
(2021)The advent of the 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) communication system, along with the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), have started to evolve the vision of the smart world into a ... -
Towards examining the effectiveness of boxing headguards with thermoplastic polyurethane in mitigating acceleration and risk of head injury using a dynamic head model
(2021)The sport of boxing historically symbolises a high-risk injury sport due the number of concussions occurring on athletes. Indeed, boxing has shown to have the highest rate of concussions of any individual male sport. ... -
Towards identification of progressive damage in structures under non-stationary excitation
(2018)Monitoring and retrofitting of large-scale infrastructure is of paramount importance specifically when they are subjected to natural hazards like strong wind, severe earthquakes or man-made excitation. Once the rich ... -
Towards machine learning enabled future-generation wireless network optimization
(2020)We anticipate that there will be an enormous amount of wireless devices connected to the Internet through the future-generation wireless networks. Those wireless devices vary from self-driving vehicles to smart wearable ... -
Towards marine tourism management recommendations for the wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site, Nunavut, Canada
(2020)Over the last 25 years, climate change-induced increases in open water have led to a dramatic environmental and social transformation in the Canadian Arctic (Dawson, Pizzolato et al., 2018; Johnston, Viken et al., 2012). ... -
Towards system identification using single channel measurement in wireless sensing network
(2018)In the last few years, structural health monitoring has gained signifcant popularity to perform real-time condition assessment of civil structures. With the aid of mobile sensing network, movable wireless sensors have ... -
Towards the optimisation of a detection system for markers linked to neural tube defects
(2008)Neural tube defects are the second most common birth defect of the central nervous system. The aim of this research is to design and optimise a novel detection system to analyse five markers that have been shown to be ... -
Toxic and precious metals removal from wastewater using freeze concentration and electrodeionization
(2018)Industrial wastewater may contain metals such as chromium (VI), nickel, cobalt and palladium. These metals are toxic to aquatic organisms and also have an adverse impact on human health and environment. Due to limited ... -
Tracking habitat use by boreal toads in disturbed forest on the boreal plain in Alberta
(2014-12-05)Radio-telemetry is an effective way of collecting detailed information on the behaviour of a great many species. However, the presence of the radio-transmitter may influence the behaviour of the subject, an effect for which ... -
Trade analysis of timber forest products between China and the United States
(2021)Forest products have become a significant part of internationally traded products. United States forestry has achieved sustainable development, with the improvement of forest management and logging systems more and more ...
