Modeling and control of various styles of paper machine headboxes
(2003)
In this thesis non-linear mathematical models of a typical paper machine approach system
with three different styles of headboxes are presented. The non-linear models include the
dynamics of the fan pump, DC motor, ...
Analysis of Ghana's renewable resource policies
(2003)
A comprehensive study of Ghana's renewable resource policies has been completed. The study is composed of two major components. First, an examination of environmental degradation occurring in Ghana along with the agents ...
Genetic variation in physiology and growth under ambient and elevated CO2 concentrations in four provenances of Populus tremuloides from Northwestern Ontario
(2003)
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is the most widely distributed and
probably most genetically varied woody species in North America. Four provenances of
trembling aspen seedlings from northwestern Ontario ...
Effectiveness of self-restoration for two small mine impacted shield lakes
(2003)
Cleaver Lake and Horneblende Lake in the Whitesand Watershed were studied for the impact of mining and milling activities. No release of zinc, copper, iron, or manganese was detected in aerated sediment samples and there ...
Effect of chromium supplementation on blood glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(2003)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chromium
supplementation on the blood glucose control of individuals with type 2 diabetes. A
positive finding would result in substantial health and financial ...
Vibration suppression in a traversing mass-cantilever beam system
(2003)
A cantilever beam carrying a traversing spring-mass system is modeled. Applications of the system include robot traversing on space trusses, loads moving along stacker cranes carrying moving loads in a large warehouse, ...
Study of two different tunable vibration absorbers : variable stiffness absorber and variable damping absorber
(2003)
A structure or machine w ill vibrate at the frequency of excitation when excited by a
harmonic force. Vibration of the structure can be suppressed using a vibration absorber by
setting the absorber’s natural frequency ...
On-line optimization of thermomechanical pulping rejects screen using modified sequential simplex method
(2003)
The sequential simplex method (SSM) was blended with the Nelder and Mead method to create
two separate simplex methods. The first method is the Equilateral Optimum Following Simplex (EOFS). In
this method, the simplex ...
Applications of satellite remote sensing to develop forest inventory for strategic-level planning
(2003)
Forest inventory is the fundamental base information for most decision making
processes in today’s forest management planning. Recently in Ontario,
with increasing industrial involvement, new environmental and multiple ...
