High-power medium-voltage motor drive: converter topology, modulation, and control
(2021)The output power quality, device voltage sharing, power converter flying capacitor voltage ripple and motor torque ripple at low-frequency/ speed operation are the major issues in high-power medium-voltage (MV) motor ... -
Higher dimensional numerical quadrature
(1973)This thesis contains a study of higher dimensional numerical quadrature, especially two dimensional Gregory quadrature. In Chapter I, we discuss the problem of approximation and integration, the reasons why numerical ... -
Higher order discretization of elliptic partial differential equations
(1979)Higher order finite difference methods are discussed with respect to speed and accuracy when used in the solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Although fast direct methods for solving elliptic ... -
Historical comparison of tea culture in China, Britain, and Japan between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries: a performative approach to ritual theory
(2023)Tea culture was transmitted from China, the country of origin, first to Japan and then to Britain. The former is a tradition steeped in Japanese history, while the latter is more recent and a function of colonialism and ... -
The history of deforestation in Southwestern Ontario and methods used in afforestation of old agricultural fields – a literature review
(2022)The forests of southwestern Ontario were logged in the 1700’s for use by the British and French navies as ship masts, spars and hulls. Early settlers cleared the forests to make way for agriculture and settlements. The ... -
Holistic resource management in UAV-assisted wireless networks
(2022)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered as a promising solution to assist terrestrial networks in future wireless networks (i.e., beyond fifth-generation (B5G) and sixth-generation (6G)). The convergence of various ... -
Holocene fire-climate-vegetation dynamics in Central Canadian Shield boreal forests of Northwestern Ontario, Canada / by Dominic Lafontaine-Senici.
(2014)The boreal forest is the largest terrestrial ecosystem in North America, one of the least disturbed by humans, and most disturbed by fire. This combination makes it an ideal system to explore the environmental controls on ... -
Holocene Occupations of Northwestern Ontario: Implementing a Multi-analytical Approach for the Detection of Technological Variability and Subsistence Complexities
(2016)This thesis presents the results of a micro-analytical analysis, specifically use-wear and residue analyses, on unifacial lithic artifacts from the Electric Woodpecker II (DdJf-12) Early Holocene site, located approximately ... -
The hormonal sensitivity hypothesis : a review and new findings
(Elsevier, 2017)Previous women’s health practitioners and researchers have postulated that some women are particularly sensitive to hormonal changes occurring during reproductive events. We hypothesize that some women are particularly ... -
How can non-native teachers develop culturally responsive programs in remote First Nations communities? : learning from the experts
(2014-01-22)There are a growing number of scholars who argue that statistics alone do not provide an accurate depiction of Aboriginal education and instead focus on successful education practices in Aboriginal communities and schools. ... -
How does aquatic invertebrate community structure and abundance relate to brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) habitat quality?
(2019)Sixty-seven streams located south-west of Lake Nipigon, Ontario, were sampled for brook trout and macroinvertebrate orders. Sixteen orders were used to determine if their community structure significantly changed in different ... -
How does environmental variation effect fitness of density-dependent habitat selectors? / by Jody T. MacEachern.
(2010)The spatial distribution of animals can arise through a variety of habitat-selection strategies. It is unclear which habitat characteristics lead to the evolution of one of these strategies over another. Thus I use an ... -
How forests and forest management messaging was disseminated in governmental promotional material in Ontario, 1800–1959
(2020)This dissertation studies governmental forestry promotional publications issued in Ontario, to examine how messaging of forests and forest management was disseminated in promotional publications released by government ... -
