Design, analysis and passive balance control of a 7-DOF biped robot
(2007)Biped robots have many advantages than traditional wheeled or tracked robots. They have better mobility in rough terrain and can travel on discontinuous path. The legs can also provide an active suspension that decouples ... -
Design, development and usability evaluation of social system interface and development of computational model
(2021)In recent times, methods of computational intelligence (CI) that aim to solve real-life problems are developed by computer science researchers in collaboration with domain experts. There has also been an increased emphasis ... -
Design, simulation and control of a 12 DOF biped robot
(2012-11-10)The field of humanoid robotics has in the last several decades taken off as an active area of research. The goal of this field id to build robots which by having a human-like form will be able to work in environments ... -
The design, synthesis and enzymatic evaluation of aminocyclitol inhibitors of glucocerebrosidase
(2014-01-22)Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by mutations in the GBA gene which codes for the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) resulting in its deficiency. GCase deficiency results in the ... -
Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel lysophosphatidic acid receptor-targeting small molecules as therapeutic and diagnostic agents
(2023)Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate of all cancers among Canadian women and accounts for nearly 14% of all cancer-related deaths in Canada. This type of cancer is often detected using medical imaging modalities ... -
Designing a secure ubiquitous mammography consultation system
(2004)This thesis attempts to design and develop a prototype for mammography image consultation that can work securely within a ubiquitous environment. Mammogram images differ largely from other type of images and it requires ... -
Detecting Crohn’s disease from high resolution endoscopy videos: the thick data approach
(2023)Detecting diseases in high resolution endoscopy videos can be done in several ways depending on the methodology for detection. One such method that has been a hot topic in the field of medical technology research is the ... -
Detecting depression and malingering using response times on the Personality Assessment Inventory
(2000)The detection of individuals who are malingering psychological dysfunction has proven to be a difficult task (Rogers, 1997). This study was conducted to investigate whether response times on the Personality Assessment ... -
Detecting trends in walleye (Stizostedion v. vitreum, Mitchill) abundance using catch-effort data
(1995)Three methods of analyzing catch-effort data were investigated regarding their relationship to walleye abundance: mean CUE, Gini coefficient and the relative frequency of zero CUE (RFZ). Walleye recreational fishery ... -
Detection and assessment of Armillaria in young conifer plantations of northwestern Ontario and northeastern China
(1991)Methods for detecting and evaluating Armillaria in plantations were compared in a series of studies. The purposes of the studies were to standardize the Armillaria trapping technique, and to determine if it could be used ... -
Detection and characterization of DNA damage
(2009)The DNA molecule is constantly subjected to endogenous and exogenous sources of damage which if left unrepaired can lead to genotoxic and cytotoxic outcomes. These lesions have been implicated in the development of numerous ... -
Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in poultry samples using Florescent in situ Hybridization (FISH)
(2004)In this study, a protocol using Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) for the detection of Campylobacter spp., particularly C. jejuni, in naturally contaminated poultry samples was developed and its application evaluated. ... -
Detection of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Damage Induced by Metal Ion Interactions and Repair of Metal Ion Deoxyribonucleic Acid Cross-links
(2010-08-17)There are many forms of DNA damage. One of these, DNA-metal cross-links are particularly problematic as they not only affect the tautomeric structure of DNA, but can also inhibit enzymatic activity and block amplification ... -
Detection, identification, and mitigation of false data injection attacks and faults in vehicle platooning
(2023)Smart vehicles are designed leveraging advanced hardware, including sensors, and cuttingedge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) ... -
Determinant variables in seasonal migration cessation
(1992)Past research into the seasonal migration of the elderly has mainly focused on how health and economic systems are affected by this group as well as how social and kinship ties are maintained by active participants. ... -
Determinants of incidents in a forensic psychiatric program
(2002)Nursing staff in forensic psychiatric contexts are significantly more likely to be the victims of assault-related incidents than patients. Evidence in the scientific literature warrants the consideration of interpersonal ... -
Determination of a physical health index based on the national population health survey and an evaluation of the index on a workplace sample
(2002)There have been myriads of health factors identified in the literature that influence human health and well-being. Often times, health is broken up into several dimensions such as social, physical, spiritual, emotional, ... -
Determining genetic resistance to jack pine budworm defoliation in jack pine from different geographic seed sources across Ontario
(2020)Jack pine budworm is an outbreak insect that defoliates jack pine forests across Canada. While it is a native species, the outbreaks can have severe economic impacts, such as loss of timber volume and increased risk of ... -
Determining the "spread of effects" of physical activity interventions from children to Parents/Guardians
(2014-01-22)The purpose of this research was to determine whether parental involvement in a physical activity intervention delivered to children in-school could result in positive behaviour change in parents (“spread of effects”), as ... -
