Fuzzy adaptive control of a two-wheeled inverted pendulum
(2018)
Recently, the two-wheeled inverted pendulum has drawn the attention of robotic community
in view of a plethora of applications, such as transport vehicles: Segway, teleconferencing
robots, and electronic network-vehicle. ...
An intelligent system for temperature monitoring and brake drum cooling
(2018)
Brakes convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy due to friction between fixed and moving brake parts. Frequent applications of the brakes will cause overheating in brake parts, which could generate ...
The consumed university: probing neoliberalism in higher educaton
(2018)
This study probes the influence of neoliberal ideas and ideology in Canadian higher
education. In order to examine such an influence, this study subjected the texts and
artifacts from 14 Canadian university recruitment ...
Petrology of the Crystal Lake Gabbro and the Mount Mollie Dyke, Midcontinent Rift, Northwest Ontario
(2018)
The Crystal Lake Gabbro (CLG) is a Y-shaped, up to 750 m wide, layered mafic intrusion with a 5 km long northern limb and a 2.75 km long southern limb, with localized Cu-Ni and Cr mineralization. The Mount Mollie Dyke (MMD) ...
Organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)
Oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. Other ring systems,
especially those lacking at least C2v symmetry are much less common. We investigated
thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ...
Isolation and characterization of bioconversion microbes and aerobic conversion of crude glycerol to value-added bioproducts
(2018)
Renewable forms of energy are of significant interest in today’s economies. Biofuel is a renewable fuel produced by biological means. Biofuel is very useful because it does not have a finite supply, and it produces fewer ...
The impact of alternate pretreatment methods and osmotic dehydration for the preservation of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium)
(2018)
This study investigated the effects of selected pretreatments and rigorous optimization of osmotic dehydration (OD) of lowbush blueberries using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to produce dehydrated blueberries with ...
Characterization of sediment, sewage and 0157 E. coli: a comparison of their virulence genes, biofilm forming capacities, antibiotic resistance and level of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
(2018)
Even though sediment Escherichia coli is a common source of contamination in freshwater environments, their virulence and physiological characteristics are not well studied. The goal of this study was to compare the virulence ...
Bioenergetic evaluation of a whole-lake nanosilver addition on Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens)
(2018)
Nanosilver (nAg) is an antibacterial and antimicrobial agent. Its wide use in hundreds of commercial products and industrial applications suggests a high potential for release into the environment. Previous research indicates ...
Person focused directives for end of life care in long term care (PFD-LTC)
(2018)
Dementias are age-related, neurodegenerative diseases, the cases of which are expected
to rise exponentially as the population ages. To date there is no known cure or intervention that
appreciably slows the progression ...
