Empirical recovery performance of fourier-based deterministic compressed sensing
(2014-01-22)
Compressed sensing is a novel technique where one can recover sparse signals from the undersampled measurements. Mathematically, measuring an N-dimensional signal...
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting with a Nonlinear Energy Sink
(2016)
Energy transfer from one system to another system, or vice versa, is happening constantly in many
processes with various forms. Vibration in machines or structures can be considered as a form of
energy transfer from a ...
Simultaneous vibration suppression and energy harvesting with a non-traditional vibration absorber
(2017)
The dynamic vibration absorber, or tuned mass damper, has been one of the most commonly used passive vibration control devices over the past hundred years. With an optimally designed vibration absorber, significant vibration ...
Fiber laser system for the detection of trace gas
(2017)
The research presented in this thesis is on the development of a trace gas detection system based on intracavity absorption spectroscopy (ICAS). The developed system was capable of detecting nitrous oxide (N2O) and acetylene ...
Lithostratigraphy and provenance of the Neoarchean McKellar Harbour Sequence, Superior Province, Ontario, Canada
(1995)
The McKellar Harbour Sequence is located on the shore of Lake Superior approximately
40 km west of the town of Marathon, Ontario. The Sequence was examined in detail
through stratigraphic and geochemical investigations ...
Detection and assessment of Armillaria in young conifer plantations of northwestern Ontario and northeastern China
(1991)
Methods for detecting and evaluating Armillaria in plantations were compared in a series
of studies. The purposes of the studies were to standardize the Armillaria trapping technique,
and to determine if it could be used ...
Relation between loneliness and behavioural disclosure : potential mediators and moderators
(1999)
The purpose of the research was to examine the relation between loneliness and
behavioural disclosure, gender differences in the relation, as well as the potential
mediators of that relation (i.e., norm violation, trust, ...
Native student traditional tribal values and secondary school retention
(1997)
This qualitative study examined the relationship between Native student
traditional tribal values and beliefs and the secondary school retention of seven
Amerindian secondary school graduates. It is a departure from ...
