New generation of dispersants by grafting lignin or xylan
(2017)Synthetic dispersants are commonly used in the stabilization of various colloidal suspensions. However, their non-biodegradable and toxic natures hamper their industrial use. The use of natural polymers as dispersants for ... -
New insights into modern human behaviour at Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) based on the temporal distribution of pottery and mollusks during the past 5,000 Years
(2022)In addition to preserving a rich archaeological record spanning from ~190 thousand years ago (ka) until the terminal Pleistocene, Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) also preserves a rich and relatively complete Holocene ... -
New mother's opinions on prenatal education : how useful are prenatal classes in assisting first-time mothers through pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period? / by Katarina A. Edwards.
(2008)The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether prenatal education programs are useful in assisting women in pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period. A selfselected sample of seven women who had attended ... -
New paradigms of distributed AI for improving 5G-based network systems performance
(2023)With the advent of 5G technology, there is an increasing need for efficient and effective machine learning techniques to support a wide range of applications, from smart cities to autonomous vehicles. The research question ... -
A new PWM CSC-based wind energy conversion system
(2020)In order to eliminate the bulky and costly offshore substation, a new offshore wind farm configuration has recently been proposed: series-connected configuration. Among the seriesconnected configurations, the pulse width ... -
The Newly developed competitiveness orientation measure : psychometric development and evaluation
(2013-02-12)The concept of competitiveness as a personality trait has been alluded to for over 70 years; yet, it has surprisingly been largely neglected as an individual differences variable. Instead, researchers have focused on the ... -
Niizhaaweynima-nimama (Mother Earth Song)
(2020)This study investigates factors that have contributed to other Indigenous Peoples’ successes at the post-secondary level in graduate studies by interviewing Indigenous People that have gone through the system and have ... -
Nim-bii-go-nini Ojibwe language revitalization strategy : families learning our language at home
(2010)The Nim-bii-go-nini Ojibwe Language Revitalization Strategy is a grassroots approach to language learning that has been in collaborative development and implementation with members of my family since December 2008. ... -
Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotope Analysis of Holocene Pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia)
(2021)In this study, pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) are examined using nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes to explore possible changes to their diet over the past ~5,000 years. This temporal period is of particular ... -
Nitrogen removal efficiencies in constructed wetlands
(2019)This thesis summarizes the usage of constructed wetlands in reducing nitrogen loaded anthropogenic waste water, sourcing a collection of results of outside literature. The literature used in this thesis was found from ... -
NMR studies of lignin models, derivatives and bleaching effluents
(1995)NMR problems related to assignment techniques and relaxation restrict the use of NMR in the structural analysis of lignin. These problems have been addressed in three practical studies in this thesis involving a lignin ... -
NMR study of aqueous tetraalkylammonium silicates
(1994)Silicon-29 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the equilibrium distribution and kinetics of silicate oligomers in aqueous tetraalkylammonium silicate solutions. Certain tetraalkyl ... -
No man is a failure who has friends : the role of adaptive inferential feedback in hopelessness depression / Lize R. Jalbert. --
(2004)The theory of hopelessness depression (Abramson, Metalsky, & Alloy, 1989) states that the presence of the psychological state of hopelessness is a sufficient cause for the development of a specific subtype of depression ... -
Non-collocated control of vibration of a three-DOF structure using the electromagnetic vibration absorber
(2007)Vibration control is very important in many areas including machine operation and daily life. Semi-active vibration control integrates a tuning control scheme with a tunable vibration absorber for suppression of vibration ... -
Non-destructive evaluation for boreal tree species utilizing acoustic testing
(2017)Standing trees pertain a level of uncertainty, in regards to yield and end-use. Thus, it may be feasible to analyse the forest, at the ground level, in order to allocate the timber resources accordingly. Through stress-wave ... -
Non-destructive testing to monitor the strength increase of electrokinetically treated soil
(2018)Electrokinetics in geotechnical engineering is used to increase the shear strength of soft soils and the load carrying capacity of piles embedded in these soils. This is achieved by decreasing the water content of the soil ... -
Non-Indigenous educator and Indigenous student relations: rooting ourselves in their values
(2017)Assimilative and integrative policies remain part of Canada‟s dominant narrative and continue to inform non-Indigenous educators‟ relations with their Indigenous students. Counter narratives of Indigenous student and ... -
