The effects of I/Q imbalance and improper Gaussian noise on different wireless communication systems
(2020)
The next-generation of wireless networks is required to support a myriad of new demands,
including higher data rate, lower latency, greater system capacity, massive connectivity, as
well as increased power efficiency. ...
A novel framework for standardizing and digitizing clinical pathways in healthcare information systems
(2020)
Most healthcare institutions are reorganizing their healthcare delivery systems based on
Clinical Pathways (CPs). CPs are medical management plans designed to standardize
medical activities, reduce cost, optimize resource ...
Unsettling environmental and place-based literature for young children
(2020)
This portfolio seeks to trouble and unsettle the pervasiveness of settler colonialism, White
supremacy, and anthropocentrism in young children’s environmental and place-based literature
through the creation of a picture ...
Dietary restraint and stress-induced alterations in eating: Exploring the role of heart rate variability as a proxy for self-regulation, attentional bias, and perceived safety
(2021)
Restraint theory posits that the capacity to successfully diet is cognitively demanding, requiring
exertion of cognitive control over eating. Demands that deplete this limited inner resource (e.g.,
stress) can thus lead ...
The role of emotions in generating and sustaining climate action for youth climate champions: an exploratory study in Northern Ontario
(2022)
Anthropogenic climate change is a wicked problem resulting in complex and
compounding health impacts at multiple scales and across timelines. While there is a solid base
of empirical evidence documenting the physical ...
Multi-timeframe algorithmic trading bots using thick data heuristics with deep reinforcement learning
(2022)
This thesis presents an augmented Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithmic trading
approach that combines Thick Data Heuristics (TDH), with Deep Reinforcement Learning
(DRL), to successfully learn trading execution timing ...
Segmented hollow core photonic crystal fiber as a gas cell
(2022)
Developing a unique gas cell based on hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HC-
PCF) improving its ability to be used in measurements which require higher temporal
resolution. Traditional HC-PCF is an excellent candidate ...
Neutrophils in the interface between innate and adaptive immunity in response to Haemophilus influenzae type a
(2022)
Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) is a bacterial human pathogen that has emerged as a
significant cause of invasive disease in Canadian Indigenous populations. Protection against
encapsulated bacteria such as Hia is ...
The design of Zr metal-organic frameworks in the detection and neutralization of organophosphorus based nerve agents and pesticides
(2022)
Organophosphates are ubiquitous in uses ranging from chemical warfare agents
(CWA’s) to detergents. In between these two extreme uses lie organophosphorus-based
agrichemicals, primarily pesticides, which are applied in ...
Fire performance of a novel concealed mass timber moment-resisting connection utilizing mechanically-fastened steel rods
(2020)
A major hindrance to more application of engineered-wood products in the Canadian building
construction market is the lack of technical documentations and guidelines for the design of timber
beam-to-column connections, ...
