Northern wild rice (Zizania palustris L.) as a phytoremediation species in eutrophic wetlands - investigation of root-sediment interactions
(2014-01-22)
The causes of anthropogenic eutrophication in water bodies are multi-faceted and multigenerational, presenting an ever increasing need for effective and sustainable solutions.Phytoremediation presents a cost-effective ...
Older people's adaptation to new modes of communication
(2014-12-19)
The advances in Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the past three decades have served to improve the lives of older persons globally. While this evolution of ICT has in large measure benefited older Canadians, ...
Experiences of early childhood educators in a nature-based, early learning program: a case study
(2014-12-05)
Across Canada, an interest in connecting people with nature is growing, and much of this interest is focussed on young children. This study, which explores the experiences of two early childhood educators as they piloted ...
Membrane fouling and its control in drinking water membrane filtration process
(2014-01-22)
Treatment of surface water in the presence of natural organic matters (NOM) becomes a challenging issue to meet stringent rules of Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane is emerging as an efficient ...
Control of doubly fed induction generator based wind energy conversion system
(2014-01-22)
The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is widely used in today’s wind energy conversion industry. The DFIG is essentially a wound rotor induction generator in which the rotor circuit can be controlled by external devices ...
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...
The impact of trust in management and quality of change communication on readiness for change
(2014-01-22)
Organizational change is something that many organizations are facing and implementing change is an important skill for leaders to have. Despite this fact, the actual success rate for implementing organizational change is ...
Functional niche differentiation in co-occurring congeneric plants / by Md Saiful Islam Khan.
(2014)
"Niche differentiation is argued as one of the mechanisms explaining species coexistence. Despite their sessile nature, similar resource needs and traits to acquire and utilize resources closely related plant species ...
Validation of discrete ordinate radiation model for application in UV air disinfection modeling
(2014)
This study investigated one of the most important aspect of ultra-violet (UV) air disinfection modeling which is radiation modeling. Radiation modeling is a topic of interest in the domain of UV air disinfection research. ...
A novel approach to reaction modeling for photocatalytic oxidation processes
(2014)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the major concerns for indoor air quality. A new
method for treating VOCs in the air is through an advance oxidation process (AOP) known as
photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). ...
