RBF neural network based generalized predictive control for nonlinear stochastic systems
(2014-01-22)
Almost all practical systems are nonlinear, which are subject to disturbances and contain uncertainties. In most cases, disturbances and uncertainties can be modeled as stochastic processes, which make it necessary to ...

(2015-06-15)
This thesis investigates the use of success criteria to evaluate the changes induced by a small-scale stream restoration project. The research is based on a case study of the Kama Creek, Nipigon Bay, Lake Superior. Declines ...
Depositional processes operating on the paleoproterozoic gowganda ice margin
(2014-01-22)
Glacial sedimentary rocks of the Huronian Supergroup crop out along the north shore of Lake Huron and were likely deposited on what is thought to have been a divergent
continental margin (Fralick and Miall, 1981; 1989). ...
Rise of the machine: the making of the video game industry and military simulation
(2014-01-22)

Microscopic modeling of high-field charge transport in amorphous selenium
(2014-01-22)
Avalanche multiplication of charge carriers as a result of successive impact ionization has led to the development of solid state avalanche photo-detectors. Crystalline based avalanche photodiodes have found a variety of ...
Sources of small-scale variation in headwater stream habitat and macroinvertebrate communities
(2009-06-04)
The extent to which small stream habitats and communities are influenced by the
surrounding terrestrial environment is a function of the linkage between aquatic and
terrestrial systems. The strength of that linkage is ...

This descriptive case study explores Inuit visions for schooling in a remote community in
the Qikiqtani (formerly Baffin) Region of Nunavut. I use information from interviews, casual
conversations, observations, and a ...
Submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors for wastewater treatment and membrane fouling characterization and control
(2012-11-10)
This thesis focused on effects of transient conditions (pH shocks, temperature
