Development and implementation of various speed controllers for wide speed range operation of IPMSM drive / by Md Muminul Islam Chy.
(2007)Despite many advantageous features of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the precise speed control of an IPMSM drive becomes a complex issue due to nonlinear coupling among its winding currents and the ... -
Development and validation of the successful aging quiz / by Christine A. Knight. --
(2004)The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Successful Aging Quiz (SAQ), a 70-item, self-administered, multidimensional assessment instrument designed to measure ... -
Development of a consistent cubic equation of state for the calculation of the phase behaviour and thermodynamic properties of pure components
(2023)This study analyzes two cubic equations of state (CEoS), the Redlich-Kwong (RK) and PengRobinson (PR) CEoS, to calculate the properties of 151 pure components. The components were grouped by their intermolecular interactions ... -
Development of a language model and opinion extraction for text analysis of online platforms
(2021)Language models are one of the fundamental components in a wide variety of natural language processing tasks. The proliferation of text data over the last two decades and the developments in the field of deep learning ... -
Development of a methodology for monitoring changes in Ghanaian forest reserves
(2000)The Ghanaian Forests are a significant component of the country’s development. Occasioned by the rapid population growth of the country, increasing phenomena such as shifting agriculture, logging, fuelwood harvesting and ... -
Development of a protocol to profile the gonadal steroid intermediates of vitellogenic ovaries from fathead minnows, pimephales promelas
(1996)This research developed a protocol to extract, isolate, detect, and measure the intermediates involved in ovarian steroid biosynthesis by Pimephales promelas to be used in bleached kraft mill effluent chronic toxicity ... -
Development of a scale to assess individual differences in children's trust-value basis of friendship / Cathy J. Morgan.
(1992)Rotenberg (1986, 1991) has shown that children acquire a "trustvalue" basis of friendship, whereby friendship is a function of how much a child believes a peer will keep secrets, promises and tell the truth. The purpose ... -
Development of a toxicity early warning system (TEW)
(2006)Biomonitoring is a practice that has over time developed into a remarkably accurate form of detecting toxicity in the environment. The Toxicity Early Warning system (TEW) is a Real-Time Biomonitoring system developed to ... -
Development of an 18F radiolabeling method using solid phase chemistry
(2023)New radiotracers are constantly being developed to expand the clinical applications of positron emission tomography (PET). One of the challenges in the development of PET tracers is the incorporation of a positron emitting ... -
Development of an empathic, strong, resilient adolescent: the association of perceived care
(2018)The ability to experience and understand another person’s feelings (empathy), to successfully adapt amidst stress (resilience), and to harness and utilize personal skills (psychological strengths) are dynamic qualities ... -
The development of an in-situ ATR-FTIR technique for the study of nanomaterials
(2009)The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique utilizes a short acquisition time and high sensitivity to function as a strong analytical tool in electrochemical studies. This work will focus on the development of ... -
Development of bacterial systems for the production of cellulase and bioethanol
(2013-02-01)The wide varieties of extant bacterial species are often resistant to various environmental stresses. This demonstrates their frequent ability to adapt to and thrive in challenging environments. One such adaptation in ... -
Development of graphite based nanomaterials for green chemistry applications
(2017)Graphite is a valuable natural resource and useful carbon allotrope that has been explored for various applications. Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) transparent material, which is the strongest, thinnest, and most ... -
The development of hypothesis testing behaviour in children
(1973)This experiment investigated whether six, eight, and ten year-old children are capable of simultaneously using more than one hypothesis at a time, or whether children can test only one at a time in a discrimination learning ... -
Development of junior intermediate preservice teachers' mathematical knowledge and values / by Carlos Zerpa.
(2008)This research thesis is composed of two studies. The first study examined the validity and reliability of a locally developed instrument called the Perceptions of Mathematics (POM) questionnaire (Kajander, 2005). The POM ... -
Development of key components of a nitrogen budget for a forested watershed on the Canadian boreal plain
