Development of nanostructured material based electrochemical sensors for food safety and quality control
(2019)
The issue of foodborne related illnesses due to additives and contaminants poses a significant challenge to food processing industries. Electrochemical-based strategies offer simple and robust analytical tools, which are ...
Robust control techniques for DFIG driven WECS with improved efficiency
(2019)
Wind energy has emerged as one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources since mid-80‘s due to its low cost and environmentally friendly nature compared to conventional fossil fuel based power generation. Current ...
Reliability analysis of soil liquefaction using truncated distributions
(2019)
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon caused by seismic activity in the
ground which may result in surface settlement, the formation of sand
boils, lateral spreading that ultimately damages the super-structure and
loss of ...
Phenology, growth and physiological responses to photoperiod and elevated [CO2] of boreal white birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh): implications to climate change-induced northward migration
(2019)
With the increase in average global temperature due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), rapid shifts of climate envelopes are expected to lead to norward migration for boreal tree species. As a ...
Learning through relationship: in-context development for teachers of Indigenous students
(2019)
In this study, I explore the experiences and qualities of productive learning relationships
shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators in K-12 public education contexts. I know
from my own teaching experience and ...
Low-power multi-band injection-locked wireless receiver
(2019)
The demand for low-power high-performance wireless receivers has dramatically in-
creased with the emerging deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Among the
demodulation schemes, non-coherent receivers consume ...
Quadrotor altitude and attitude control with neural network
(2017)
Over the years, the controller design for an unmanned aerial vehicle has been attracting
considerable amount of attentions and interests. In this thesis, a quadcopter has been studied
intensively, and an adaptive ...
Increased production of sugar streams from lignocellulosic materials through enzyme recycling
(2019)
The Canadian pulp and paper mills generate over 1 million tons of primary sludge per year. This sludge mainly contains small cellulosic fibers and contaminants from pulp and paper manufacture and is usually disposed of by ...
Petrology of ijolites from the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex
(2019)
This study investigates the major and trace element composition of minerals of the ijolite series rocks occurring at the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex, northern Ontario, together with comparative data for ijolites from ...
Plant diversity effect on soil carbon dynamics
(2019)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable natural resource, supplying goods and services for human benefits, including mediating global climate change and securing food production and environmental quality. Biodiversity loss ...
