A novel framework for standardizing and digitizing clinical pathways in healthcare information systems
(2020)Most healthcare institutions are reorganizing their healthcare delivery systems based on Clinical Pathways (CPs). CPs are medical management plans designed to standardize medical activities, reduce cost, optimize resource ... -
Novel Hilbert Huang transform techniques for bearing fault detection
(2014-01-22)Bearings are commonly used in rotary machinery; while up to half of machinery malfunctions could be related to bearing defects. A reliable bearing fault detection technique becomes vital to a wide array of industries to ... -
A novel metadata analysis approaches for analyzing and understanding wood-decaying mechanisms exhibited by fungi
(2019)Fuel has become an essential commodity in our day to day life. Increase in global population and decreasing fuel reserves have forced mankind to look for other fuel alternatives. Forest biomass serves as a potential renewable ... -
Novel toll-like receptor 4 ligands: synthesis, biological studies and applications in molecular vaccines
(2015-06-15)Lipid A, a unique disaccharide glycolipid, is the active principle of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide in activating the innate immune response via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Given the important role that ... -
NOx reduction of biodiesel operated diesel engine using different techniques: (EGR, steam injection and emulsification)
(2018)The increase in world population has led to the growth in energy demand. The primary sources of this energy come from the combustion of conventional fuels, which are contributing to polluting the environment. Biodiesel ... -
Numerical analysis of discontinuous structures: static and dynamic
(2018)Discontinuous beam structures can be found in various applications such as adhesive bonded joints and piezoelectric energy harvesters. In adhesive bonded joint design, the single lap joint is commonly used and is constructed ... -
Numerical integration of systems of differential equations arising in celestial mechanics / by Roy D. North. --
(1974)This thesis deals primarily with solving systems of autonomous ordinary nonlinear differential equations arising in Celestial Mechanics initial value problems using various finite-difference techniques. Those methods ... -
A numerical simulation study on the interaction of particles with rough surface and soft structures in suspension systems
(2022)Particle interactions in complex colloidal systems are essential in a variety of traditional and emerging industrial processes. This thesis applied the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory to calculate ... -
Nursing knowledge and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus : implications for community health nursing in First Nations communities [research project] / by Cheryl A. Chisholm.
(2009)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a serious nosocomial and community-associated pathogen in aboriginal people in Canada (Canadian Pediatric Society, 2005). A recent survey with First Nations ... -
Nursing Practice Council : literature review, implementation, and evaluation plan
(2010)The purpose of this paper is to outline an implementation and evaluation plan for the establishment of a Nursing Practice Council (NPC) for the public health and registered nurses in a small rural health unit in southern ... -
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 ... -
Object-oriented and pixel-based image classification using Landsat multispectral and Hyperion hyperspectral imagery in boreal conditions
(2008)Current environmental trends dictate a need for new methods, initiatives, and technologies that provide reliable, up-to-date forest information. Canada, which is home to ten percent of the Earth's forests, has made national ... -
Object-oriented implementation of Prolog
(1993)Logic programming is a discipline of describing problems in high-level abstraction by separating logic from control. Conventional Prolog interpretation or compilation models take a procedural view of Prolog programs. A ... -
Observation of behavioral principles in baseball performance
(1984)Three studies were done to demonstrate that formalized sports can be used to test or observe the operation of psychological phenomena. Major league baseball was chosen as the representative sport, in part because of ... -
Observation of bilayer growth in the initial epitaxy of pseudomorphic Mg on Mo(001)
(1999)Epitaxial growth of thin films on solid substrates is of great interest because it allows for the creation of materials with morphologies and chemical compositions which are not found in nature. The size o f electronic ... -
Observer-based chaos synchronization for secure communications
(2006)Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that, nevertheless, obeys particular laws or rules. The chaotic signals generated by chaotic systems have some properties such as ... -
