Dark Current modeling and characterization of amorphous lead oxide-based x-ray photoconductive devices for applications in medical imaging
(2022)
High atomic number (Z) polycrystalline and amorphous photoconductors are currently
being investigated to extend direct conversion X-ray detectors to real-time and high-energy lowdose applications. Amorphous lead oxide ...
Nitrogen and Carbon Stable Isotope Analysis of Holocene Pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia)
(2021)
In this study, pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) are examined using nitrogen and
carbon stable isotopes to explore possible changes to their diet over the past ~5,000 years. This
temporal period is of particular ...
Pre-clinical assessment of the selective androgen receptor modulator RAD140 to increase muscle mass and bone mineral density
(2022)
Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are important hypertrophic
molecules that pose as potential treatments for many types of myopathy and osteopathy.
The aim of this study was to determine if the SARM RAD140 ...
Labyrinth learning : a 360-degree community service digital ecology
(2022)
Labyrinth Learning – A 360 Degree Community Service Digital Ecology is a Master’s
Portfolio organized around the Lakehead Labyrinth Project at Lakehead University’s campus
between 2017-2022. With text, images, video, ...
Road-network location heuristics for the tactical harvest-scheduling model
(2022)
In tactical planning in hierarchical forest management, cut-blocks are selected
for maximizing revenue and road networks are allocated at minimal cost in order to
maximize profit. The selected cut-block set and requisite ...
Process design and feasibility study of synthetic crude production by the combination of methane decomposition, reverse water gas shift reaction, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
(2022)
In this dissertation, the conversion of CO2 to gas-to liquid (GTL) products was investigated for the
production of 30000 bbl per day syncrude. The GTL plant consisted of four main units: hydrogen
production by catalytic ...
Autonomous surface vehicle for mechanized bathymetric surveys
(2022)
This study evaluates the efficacy of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV)
constructed from inexpensive consumer off the shelf components for suitability in
surface-based bathymetry of large-scale tailing impounds found ...
Identification of cracks in pipelines based on machine learning and deep learning
(2022)
Pipelines are important long-distance transportation structures in modern industry, and because
many are buried deep underground, pipeline health monitoring is critical to industry; however,
inspecting underground pipelines ...
Attitude control of a quadrotor UAV: experimental implementation
(2022)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming ubiquitous due to their potential benefits
in many civilian and military applications. UAVs are designed to accomplish complex
tasks safely and effectively, such as search and ...
Relating and learning with other beings, materials, and weather: multispecies assemblages at a Canadian forest school
(2022)
In Canada, there has been a surge in outdoor and nature-based programming for young
children, such as forest schools, with interest heightening over the COVID-19 pandemic. While
there are many physical, cognitive, and ...
