A hybrid approach to condition assessment of paved roads
(2021)Road reconstruction is drastically more expensive than an appropriate maintenance program. Performing targeted maintenance requires a comprehensive inventory of road conditions. To create and maintain a road condition ... -
Hybrid deep learning with stacked dilated causal convolutions for health forecasting using multivariate time-series data
(2022)Health forecasting using time-series data facilitates preventive medicine and healthcare interventions by predicting future health events. This thesis introduces a novel hybrid deep-learning architecture for health ... -
A hybrid prognostic approach for battery health monitoring and remaining-useful-life prediction
(2021)Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as portable communication devices, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, the Li-ion battery performance ... -
Hydraulic and dynamic assessment of triangular labyrinth weirs and wier-pool type fishways
(2019)The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation process for converting glycerol into bio-crude / by Matthew A. Tymchyshyn.
(2010)"Bio-energy is a clean (containing negligible sulfur and being near-carbon neutral), renewable and abundant source of energy. Bio-energy can be a potential alternative to fossil fuels for the production of energy and ... -
Hydrogen sulfide modulates gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes
(2016)Among many endogenous substances that regulate hepatic energy production is the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the liver, H2S production is largely catalyzed by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and, to a lesser ... -
Hydrolysis of silicone polymers in aqueous systems
(2001)Silicon-29 and 'H NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the hydrolysis of methyl silicones in a variety of aqueous environments. Dilute acid, dilute base and one or more of the dissolved constituents of blood plasma ... -
Hydromapping Tool Creation for Sprat Lake Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Surface From Motion Analysis; A Proactive Approach to Reduce Potential Mercury Fluxes Following Forest Harvesting By Using Variable Retention Buffers and Preplanned Machine Travel Corridors
(2017)There has been an increase in the awareness and concern regarding mercury contamination in Northwestern Ontario fish. Wetland and low laying areas are considered hotspots for methylmercury production which, when disturbed ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the electrical conductivity of indium antimonide
(1976)The electrical conductivity of n-type InSb in the temperature range 77K - 300K has been calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time ansatz. The tv/o dominant scattering mechanisms in this temperature ... -
Hydrostatic pressure effect on the Gunn threshold electric effect in n-InSb
(1978)The Gunn effect as a function of pressure has been studied in n~type InSb. The Gunn threshold field is found to decrease with increasing pressure reaching a minimum at P ~ 9 kbars. It then increases while the oscillations ... -
"I was a good girl when he married me" : issues of respectability and gender in a Northern Ontario murder trial / by Cheryl Elizabeth Shaw.
(2007)At the heart of this thesis is a trial, R. v. Clara Irene St. Cyr. In 1948 Clara was a thirty-two year old mother of six. Bom in St. Lucie, Quebec but raised in Gogama, Ontario, she was eighteen when she met Jerome “Jerry” ... -
"I'm with you now, I'm with you ..." : Michael Corleone as gangster figure in Mario Puzo's and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather texts / by Carmela Coccimiglio.
(2006)This thesis examines the construction of the gangster figure as embodied by Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather, The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III. The examination of Michael is ... -
Identification of boreal mixedwood forest structure cohorts in Northwestern Ontario using Ontario's forest resource inventory, Abitibi-Bowater's continuous forest inventory and stepwise discriminant function analysis
(2009)A model was developed to determine if Ontario's Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) could be used to classify boreal mixedwood stands in northwestern Ontario into structural cohorts as proposed in the Multi Cohort Forest ... -
Identification of cracks in pipelines based on machine learning and deep learning
(2022)Pipelines are important long-distance transportation structures in modern industry, and because many are buried deep underground, pipeline health monitoring is critical to industry; however, inspecting underground pipelines ... -
Identification of genes involved in early endodormancy break in potato tubers
(2013)The growth and harvest of potato tubers for agricultural purposes is important both in Canada and worldwide, and the agronomic importance of this crop is steadily growing. A major issue affecting the storage and transport ... -
Identification of wetlands on the Canadian boreal plain and their contributions to stream water chemistry
(2006)The Alberta Wetland Inventory (AWI), which is used in a variety of applications across the province to estimate wetland cover from aerial photographs, detected only 34% of confirmed wetland field plots in boreal forest ... -
Identifying and addressing roundabout accessibility issues confronting persons with vision loss in Canada: a pilot study
(2023)Municipalities and Transportation Agencies in Canada are building more roundabout intersections to promote efficient and safe movement of traffic for their low carbon footprint, low lifetime maintenance cost, and better ... -
Identifying mental health indices among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Treaty three police service officers
(2023)Background: Police officers are essential frontline workers tasked with protecting our communities. They are susceptible to adverse mental health exposures, outcomes, and barriers to accessing supports, which may increase ...
