Nonlinear dynamics of railway wheelsets incorporating randomness
(2007)The thesis is to investigate the dynamic behavior of a single-axle railway wheelset and identify its chaotic behavior by means of time history, phase portrait, Lyapunov exponents, information dimension, bifurcation diagram ... -
A nonlinear energy sink with energy harvester
(2014-12-11)The transfer of energy between systems is a natural process, manifesting in many different ways. In engineering transferable energy can be considered wanted or un- wanted. Specifically in mechanical systems, energy transfer ... -
Nonlinear mathematical and numerical modeling of the effect of temperature on membrane pore size
(2022)Due to the growth of the global population, water stress has risen sharply. However, water stress in high latitudes is not only due to population growth but also to low local temperatures. Numerous studies have shown ... -
Nonlinear transient analysis based on power waves and state variables
(2010)Muhammad Ershadul Kabir was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh on July 15, 1982. He received the Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) ... -
Nonlinear transient analysis based on wave digital filters
(2014-01-22)Simulation of large circuit networks is a CPU-time and memory consuming task. Computer clusters and multi-core processors have become common but algorithms must be parallelizable to fully take advantage of these architectures. ... -
North American pinewood nematode disease in China
(2019)The pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is an important alien invasive species in China. This pinewood nematode poses a serious threat to Chinese forests. It does have an important impact on forestry, including ... -
Northern exposure: a comparison study of Alaska and Yukon models of measuring community wellbeing
(2015-02-02)The main objective of this study is to examine models of measuring community wellbeing in Alaska and Yukon to determine if they were developed with the input of residents and if these models reflect local living conditions. ... -
Northern lights : a history of Thunder Bay Hydro / by David Leo Black.
(1994)Electricity has played an important role in the economic and social development of Ontario cities, and Port Arthur and Fort William located at the head of the Great Lakes are no exception to this rule. Industrial development ... -

(2014-01-22)The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multigenerational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective ... -
Northwestern Ontario gold mining, 1880-1902 : the gold boom that didn't pan out
(1996)In 1878, gold was discovered south of Rat Portage on an island in the Lake of the Woods. After a brief flurry of development, excitement waned and Rainy River District mining progressed slowly and fitfully for more than ... -
Northwestern Ontario Indian childrens' [sic] scores on the WISC in relation to the normative population.
(1973)Because Indian children of Northwestern Ontario attend schools designed for children of white, North-American families, they are frequently given the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. This research was undertaken ... -
A novel approach to reaction modeling for photocatalytic oxidation processes
(2014)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the major concerns for indoor air quality. A new method for treating VOCs in the air is through an advance oxidation process (AOP) known as photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). ... -
