Physical and mechanical property variation of black ash (Fraxinus Nigra M.) grown in the Thunder Bay seed zone
(2014-01-22)
The identification of traditionally underutilized species with the potential for development and increased marketing potential has been recognized as a source of potential innovation in the Northwestern Ontario forest ...
Sub-1 V, 4 nA CMOS voltage references with digitally-trimmable temperature coefficient
(2014-12-12)
Voltage references are fundamental to mixed signal converters which are widely used in elec-
tronics. Hence there are signicant advantages in having the voltage reference operate with
less power while minimizing area ...
Fuzzy logic based online adaptation of current and speed controllers for improved performance of IPMSM drive
(2013-02-12)
Precise torque and speed control of electric motors is a key issue in industries for variable speed drives (VSD). Over the years the induction motors have been widely utilized in industries for VSD applications. However, ...
Evaluating the attention network test and its ability to detect cognitive decline
(2016)
The current study involved an evaluation of the Attention Network Test (ANT) as a neurocognitive tool for assessing fitness to drive in the senior population. The ANT measures three distinct functions of attention: alerting, ...
State variable harmonic balance analysis of nonlinear circuits based on waves
(2013-02-12)
Circuit simulation involving nonlinear elements can be a challenging task. From these challenges rises a demand for finding better and more efficient ways of solving such problems. This work provides a novel approach for ...
Plant abundance, diversity, and composition following reclamation in Alberta's oil sands
(2014-12-18)
The Alberta oil sands have caused an economic boom in the Canadian economy in recent years. Identifying the best strategy for vegetation recovery after oil sands extraction is critical to restoring the biodiversity and ...
A Design Methodology for Low Power CMOS Current Source
(2016)
A current reference circuit is a basic building block in analog, digital and mixed-signal design systems.
This work focuses on one type of integrated CMOS current reference circuit. This source only uses one
type of ...
Improving mathematics teaching through professional learning groups
(2015-08-05)
In order to teach mathematics well, teachers must have a specialised knowledge of the content (Silverman & Thompson, 2008) and believe in effective teaching methods (Philipp, 2007). Research has indicated that teaching ...
Aquatic habitat use by North American moose (Alces alces) and associated richness and biomass of submersed and floating-leaved aquatic vegetation in north-central Minnesota
(2014-12-12)
The North American moose (Alces alces) is a species of socio-economic importance that has undergone recent declines in some areas of its range and may be impacted by climate change through effects on physiology or habitat ...
The effect of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside on oxidative stress and inflammation in cardiac iron overload
(2013-02-01)
Chronic cardiac iron overload directly correlates with cardiac dysfunction and
may ultimately cause heart failure. Although recent studies have suggested that altered
calcium homeostasis and increased reactive oxygen ...
