Nutrients Recovery from Municipal Wastewater Effluent using Electrochemical and Freeze Concentration Approaches
(2016)Municipal wastewater (MWW) is now being re-evaluated as a potential multi-resource for water, energy and nutrients. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are increasingly being investigated as a cost-effective biological ... -
Online loss minimization based direct torque and flux control of IPMSM drive
(2015-10-21)With the advent of high energy rare earth magnetic material such as, third generation neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is becoming more and more popular in high power industrial ... -
Optimal trajectory control of series resonant converter
(2001)Resonant power converters have gained increased attention in industry due to various advantages over conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) converters. Resonant converters have improved transient response, reduced ... -
P-type gallium nitride semiconductor development and characterization for LEDs and other devices
(2013)Migration Enhanced Afterglow (AIEAglow) is proposed as a fabrication technology to produce high indium content indium gallium nitride (IriGaN) LEDs operating in the green wavelengths. This research presents results for ... -
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting with a Nonlinear Energy Sink
(2016)Energy transfer from one system to another system, or vice versa, is happening constantly in many processes with various forms. Vibration in machines or structures can be considered as a form of energy transfer from a ... -
Progressive freeze concentration of naphthenic acids
(2013)Canada’s oil reserves are among the largest in the world with over 1.7 trillion barrels of bitumen in place with confirmed measurements indicating there are 173 billion barrels of recoverable oil under current economic ... -
Pulsatile flow interaction with a stented artery : compliance mismatch effects
(2007)Atherosclerosis is a group of diseases characterized by thickening of the arterial wall resulting in a reduction in the cross-sectional area of the lumen. One of treatments for these artery diseases is stent angioplasty. ... -
Radio resource allocation in OFDMA system
(2006)In this thesis, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system is considered. Assuming perfect knowledge of instantaneous channel conditions for all users, we propose resource allocation algorithms to ... -
Real-time implementation of some attitude estimation algorithms on a quadrotor UAV / by Siddhant Nayak.
(2013)The recent developments in research pertaining to the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is motivated by its technical challenges as well as its practical implications in areas where human presence is inefficient, ... -
Real-time implementation of some bilateral teleoperation schemes
(2012-11-10)Today's technology has pushed back many boundaries that we thought were impossible. One of these technologies is bilateral teleoperation. Bilateral teleoperation allows an operator to control a robot, at a distance, over ... -
Reducing the environmental impact of the flotation of sphalerite : an alternative reagent scheme
(2009)N-Hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (HCNPHA) was found to float sphalerite without activation by copper sulphate. However, concomitant flotation of sulphidic gangue minerals, such as pyrite, significantly reduced the ... -
Removal of pharmaceutically active compounds from water systems using freeze concentration / by Yuanyuan Shao.
(2007)In the last few years, there has been a growing concern in the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds in the aquatic environment. Just in Europe, more than 3000 prescription and non-prescription drugs are used by ... -
Robust control of multi-stage web systems
(2007)Web handling systems are widely used in industries such as pulp and paper, printing press, and steel milling. Tension variations in web materials are very common in operation and tension control is critical to the quality ... -
Self tuned NFC and adaptive hysteresis based DTC scheme for IM drive
(2011)The concept of field oriented control scheme brought the revolutionary change in industrial drives. Due to the high initial and running costs of the DC machines, the trend shifted from DC to AC motor drives to obtain high ... -
Self-tuned neuro-fuzzy controller based induction motor drive / by Zhi Rui Huang.
(2007)Among various ac motors, induction motor (IM) occupies almost 90% of the industrial drives due to its simple, robust construction and generally satisfactory efficiency as compared to dc motor. However, the control of IM ... -
System identification and control of a flexible manipulator
(2000)The Observabilty Range Space Extraction (ORSE) algorithm used to identify a an initially overparameterized discrete-time state-space model for a single-link flexible manipulator. A controller named PDPC is designed to ... -
Technical feasibility and economical viability of remote hybrid power systems in Northern Ontario
(2011)As of 1996 there were 302 remote communities with a total population of 205,041 in Canada. These communities are not connected to the Bulk Electric System (BES) and as such are responsible for maintaining their own power ... -
Testing of nitride-semiconductor-based sensors for monitoring in control systems / by Hang Yu.
(2008)"Sensors have become integrated into control system, for either mechanical, optical, chemical, or biological applications. The new materials for the sensor designing, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), are attractive ... -
Thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic biological treatment of wastewater
(2010)To achieve closed cycle operation and subsequent reuse of treated effluent, individual streams of pulp and paper mill effluents are being evaluated for their suitability for in-mill treatment. This thesis includes two ... -
