Experiences of female students completing a full-time aboriginal program by computer-mediated communication
(2001)This naturalistic inquiry examines the experiences of female Aboriginal students who were completing a full-time college program by computer-mediated communication (CMC). The college program was designed for the preparation ... -
The Experiences of People Living with Dementia in Acute Care Environments
(2016)Increased life expectancy and the population of seniors are growing rapidly which comes with an expected rise in acute hospital care needed. Nearly one quarter of hospital in-patients have dementia and caring for this ... -
Experiences of seven alumni who attended Shingwauk Residential School as children 1929-1964
(1999)This oral history report documents the recollected experiences of seven Native"students" who attended Shingwauk Residential School between 1929 and 1964. From qualitative analyses of transcripts three general themes emerged: ... -
The Experiences of women tree planters in Northern Ontario
(2009)This thesis is an examination of the experiences of women tree planters in northern Ontario. Using open-ended interviews and participant observation, I explore the ways female tree planters negotiate their femininity within ... -
Experimental and theoretical studies on microalgal cell adhesion and interactions on membranes
(2021)Microalgae Cell adhesion is global and plays a critical role in different scientific and engineering problems especially in wastewater treatment. This study focused on both experimental and theoretical studies on microalgal ... -
Experimental characterization of a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal system with regeneration
(2018)Currently, enormous quantities of waste energy are continuously discharged into the earth’s atmosphere from various sources. For example, in a photovoltaic panel, about 85% of the incident light is either dissipated as ... -
Experimental determination of the residual compressive strength of concrete columns subjected to different fire durations and load ratios
(2019)The superior thermal property of concrete associated to its great capability of thermally insulating the embedded reinforcing steel rebar is the main reason for the good behavior of reinforced concrete structural elements ... -
Experimental evaluation of a solid-state organ-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) camera
(2021)Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with an organ-targeted approach has a potential to significantly improve the diagnosis of a variety of diseases through higher detection efficacy and a reduced dose of radioactivity ... -
Experimental evaluation of some classical and adaptive iterative learning control schemes on a 5DOF robot manipulator
(2004)In many process industries (e.g., VLSI production lines, Automotive industries, IC welding process, inspections, manipulations), robot manipulators are used to perform the same tasks repeatedly over a finite time interval. ... -
Experimental fire testing of damaged glulam beam connections retrofitted using self-tapping screws
(2022)During the lifespan of timber buildings, structural members may exhibit different defects and/or failures. This may include splits that develop due to shrinkage because of changes in the moisture content of wood and/or ... -
Experimental Investigation and Modelling of Sand Jets Passing through an Immiscible Layer
(2016)Sand jets passing through two immiscible liquids, water and oil have many applications in the field of civil and environmental engineering such as tailings transport, dredging and discharge of industrial and urban wastewater. ... -
Experimental investigation of effect of cement content and sulphate concentration on loading rate-dependent fracture behaviour of CPB under Mode I, II, and III loading conditions
(2024)Cement paste backfill (CPB) technology is becoming the standard mine backfilling approach in the mining industry as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to manage tailings. Most importantly, CPB plays a ... -
Experimental investigation of exposed column base plate connections subjected to combined axial and bi-directional lateral loading
(2023)Column base plate (CBP) connections are critical components in the overall design of a steel structure. CBP connections are responsible for transferring the forces exerted on base columns through a base plate and grout ... -
Experimental investigation of water entry of a solid object and sand particles
(2023)This thesis presents the results of two different approaches to water entry; first, in Part I, the results of the experimental investigation of the water entry of a solid object, a thick disk in stagnant water, are ... -
Experimental investigations of sand-water coaxial and swirling jets in stagnant water
(2021)Sand jets and particle clouds are found in many engineering applications, such as marine bed capping, dredging material disposal, and discharge of wastewater. A coaxial jet is composed of an inner jet surrounded by an ... -
Experimental investigations on the effects of grid-screen, sand bed, and nozzle orientation on the dynamics of bubble plumes
(2023)A bubble plume is defined as a column of air that flows through a liquid ambient due to the density difference between air and the ambient liquid. Bubble plumes have been utilized in wastewater treatment and oxygen transfer ... -
Experimental Study of Vertical and Oblique Particle Clouds in Water
(2016)Sand jets and particle clouds are common in many engineering areas such as marine bed capping, dredging, and artificial island construction. Because of the wide range of their application, a better understanding of particle ... -
Experimental study on mixing of activated sludge with or without air in a mixing tank through electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and response surface methodology
(2017)In such industrial processes as oxidation, hydrogenation, and biological fermentation gas and liquid are contacted and mixed to reach steady condition. The unit operations applied for gas/liquid processes include but are ... -
Experimental testing of geomechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) under warmer curing temperature
(2020)Backfilling techniques enable improved ore recovery and structural stability to underground mines employing a material to fill the voids after the excavation. Fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FR-CPB) is this ... -
