A case study of teachers' experiences with power
(2004)The present study was designed to provide information concerning teachers' experiences with power. Data obtained through surveys, interviews and observations were used to determine the sources of power that teachers ... -
A classification study of rough sets generalization
(2004)In the development of rough set theory, many different interpretations and formulations have been proposed and studied. One can classify the studies of rough sets into algebraic and constructive approaches. While algebraic ... -
A kinematic analysis of the V-style ski jump
(1994)The purpose of the study was to identify, describe, and quantify selected kinematic variables associated with the successful performance of the ski jump. Secondly, this study attempted to determine the statistical contribution ... -
A longitudinal mitochondrial DNA analysis of modern human hair samples from the Anyang region of China : implications for ancient DNA research
(2003)In 1998, Dr. E. Molto was selected to conduct pilot research on the Hei Heru, Shang Dynasty site in Anyang, China. A major component of this research is the ancient DNA analysis o f human remains recovered at Anyang. ... -
A.S. Byatt : tradition and the female talent
(1994)A. S. Byatt commented in an interview with Juliet Dusinberre in 1983 that literature was her means of escape from "the limits of being female" (186). For other artists who are also women, art is seen as a way of escaping ... -
Abstract convexity in metric spaces
(1985)Convexity in metric space is the main topic of discussion in this thesis. To undertake the study we have studied extensively the means introduced by Doss and included the results concerning means derived by Gahier ... -
Abstract convexity spaces
(1978)The principal question discussed in this dissertation is the problem of characterizing the linear and convex functions on generalized line spaces. A linear function is shown to be a convex function. The linear and ... -
Abstract model for measure and category
(1975)This thesis is an attempt to establish an abstract model for Lebesgue measure and Baire category. In the introduction, we list several similarities between Lebesgue measurable sets and sets having the property of ... -
Academic achievement, personality and boarding home habits of Ojibwa high school students
(1974)The present study was undertaken for the purpose of gathering objective information pertaining to the nature of the Ojibwa personality as well as investigating the role of the native personality structure in school ... -
Access control scheme for partially ordered set hierarchy with provable security
(2005)In many multi-user information systems, the users are organized as a hierarchy. Each user is a subordinate, superior and/or coordinate of some others. In such systems, a user has access to the information if and only if ... -
Accessory rare metal mineralization in the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, Northwest Ontario
(1990)Accessory rare metal mineralization has been investigated in seven lithologies in intrusive Centres I and III of the Coldwell alkaline complex. All units contain minerals that are enriched in a suite of granitophlle ... -
Acoustoelectric effect in semiconductors
The possibility of electron temperature decreasing below the lattice temperature in the presence of an external electric field (electron cooling) has been pointed out by Paranjape and Ambrose (1964). In the present works ... -
Activity of liposomal taxol against breast cancer cells / by Melanie Heney.
(2007)Taxol (paclitaxel) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents used for the treatment of multiple cancers, including breast, ovarian, and, non-small-cell lung cancer. However, development of taxol resistance with ... -
Adaptations of Euro-Canadian schools to Inuit culture in selected communities in Nunavut
(2001)This study explores educators' current and desired 'adaptations' of Euro-Canadian schools to Inuit culture, in five communities in one region of Nunavut Communities ranged in size from 800 to 3500 residents, of which on ... -
Adapting the Ontario teacher performance appraisal manual to video-based teacher assessment / by Eric Fredrickson.
(2008)This study asks if a teacher appraisal tool, the Ontario "Teacher Performance Appraisal Manual" (TPAM) can be modified toward the assessment of pre-service teacher competencies as viewed in archived videoconference lessons. ... -
Adaptive backstepping based nonlinear control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drive
(2005)Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) have shown increasing popularity in recent years for industrial drive applications due to the recent developments in magnetic materials, power converters, and digital signal ... -
Adaptive backstepping based online loss minimization control of an induction motor drive / by San Woo Nam.
(2006)The efficiency of an induction motor (IM) can be improved by the optimum selection of a flux level in the motor. Among the numerous loss minimization algorithms (LMA), a loss-model-based approach offers a fast response ... -
Adaptive control of a parallel robot via backstepping technique
(2006)Parallel robots have attracted more and more attention in recent years due to their kinematical and mechanical advantages. However the complicated high nonlinear model with unknown parameters and singularities make the ... -
Adaptive optimizer based on the sequential simplex method applied to the control of a thermo-mechanical pulping screening room
(2004)An adaptive optimizer is designed for control of multi-variable processes where the operating characteristics of the plant are time varying. Based on the original sequential method for static applications, the modified ...
