Healthcare spending in Canada is on the rise. One method to reduce healthcare spending is to reduce length of stay (LOS). Clinical Pathways (CPs) are one recommended management technique to reduce LOS. CPs are implementations ...

In order to eliminate the bulky and costly offshore substation, a new offshore wind farm configuration has recently been proposed: series-connected configuration. Among the seriesconnected configurations, the pulse width ...

Various applications in computational linguistics and artificial intelligence rely on high-performing semantic similarity and word sense disambiguation techniques to solve challenging tasks such as information retrieval, ...

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as portable communication devices, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, the Li-ion battery performance ...

Ultrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies above the upper limit of human hearing. Due to the high frequency, the energy can be concentrated and used for therapeutic applications, such as ultrasound imaging ...

This thesis presents research into utilizing the sparse representations of waveforms that are possible in the wavelet domain to increase the computational efficiency of the steady-state analysis of electric circuits. The ...

The ever-growing wireless technologies of today are pushing the limits of the state-of-the-art radio frequency (RF) components design. One special requirement which is widely needed in modern applications is for the RF ...

Effective automated smart home control is essential for smart-grid enabled approaches to demand response, named in the literature as automated demand response. At it’s heart, this is a multi-objective adaptive control ...

Transparent and conducting Al-doped ZnO thin films with c-axis-preferred orientation were prepared on glass substrate via sol-gel route. The physical, optical and electrical properties were investigated to determine an ...

Voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) plays a key role in determination of the link budget of wireless communication, and consequently the performance of the transceiver. Lowering the noise contribution from the VCO to the ...
