Management, environmental and energy considerations for woodwaste
(2009)Manufacturing operations that process raw wood, such as sawmills and pulp and paper mills, generate wood residue, such as woodwaste, sawdust, shavings, wood chips and off-cuts, also known as woodwaste. The decomposition ... -
Mobile ontology-based reasoning and feedback health monitoring system
(2009)As medical technology has developed over the past few decades, the average human life-span has increased and as a side effect, chronic illness has become more prevalent. Many patients now require constant, everyday monitoring ... -
Nonlinear adaptive control for robust wide speed range operation of IPMSM drives
(2015)Various applications, including robotics, spindle drives, machine tools, etc. rely on accurate, reliable controllers to deliver the required drive performance. With recent advances in magnetic materials and semiconductor ... -
Nutrients Recovery from Municipal Wastewater Effluent using Electrochemical and Freeze Concentration Approaches
(2016)Municipal wastewater (MWW) is now being re-evaluated as a potential multi-resource for water, energy and nutrients. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are increasingly being investigated as a cost-effective biological ... -
Online loss minimization based direct torque and flux control of IPMSM drive
(2015-10-21)With the advent of high energy rare earth magnetic material such as, third generation neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is becoming more and more popular in high power industrial ... -
P-type gallium nitride semiconductor development and characterization for LEDs and other devices
(2013)Migration Enhanced Afterglow (AIEAglow) is proposed as a fabrication technology to produce high indium content indium gallium nitride (IriGaN) LEDs operating in the green wavelengths. This research presents results for ... -
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting with a Nonlinear Energy Sink
(2016)Energy transfer from one system to another system, or vice versa, is happening constantly in many processes with various forms. Vibration in machines or structures can be considered as a form of energy transfer from a ... -
Progressive freeze concentration of naphthenic acids
(2013)Canada’s oil reserves are among the largest in the world with over 1.7 trillion barrels of bitumen in place with confirmed measurements indicating there are 173 billion barrels of recoverable oil under current economic ... -
Real-time implementation of some attitude estimation algorithms on a quadrotor UAV / by Siddhant Nayak.
(2013)The recent developments in research pertaining to the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is motivated by its technical challenges as well as its practical implications in areas where human presence is inefficient, ... -
Real-time implementation of some bilateral teleoperation schemes
(2012-11-10)Today's technology has pushed back many boundaries that we thought were impossible. One of these technologies is bilateral teleoperation. Bilateral teleoperation allows an operator to control a robot, at a distance, over ... -
Reducing the environmental impact of the flotation of sphalerite : an alternative reagent scheme
(2009)N-Hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (HCNPHA) was found to float sphalerite without activation by copper sulphate. However, concomitant flotation of sulphidic gangue minerals, such as pyrite, significantly reduced the ... -
Self tuned NFC and adaptive hysteresis based DTC scheme for IM drive
(2011)The concept of field oriented control scheme brought the revolutionary change in industrial drives. Due to the high initial and running costs of the DC machines, the trend shifted from DC to AC motor drives to obtain high ... -
Technical feasibility and economical viability of remote hybrid power systems in Northern Ontario
(2011)As of 1996 there were 302 remote communities with a total population of 205,041 in Canada. These communities are not connected to the Bulk Electric System (BES) and as such are responsible for maintaining their own power ... -
Thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic biological treatment of wastewater
(2010)To achieve closed cycle operation and subsequent reuse of treated effluent, individual streams of pulp and paper mill effluents are being evaluated for their suitability for in-mill treatment. This thesis includes two ... -
Thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic biological treatment of wastewater / by Shawn Langevin.
(2009)"To achieve closed cycle operation and subsequent reuse of treated effluent, individual streams of pulp and paper mill effluents are being evaluated for their suitability fur in-mill treatment. This thesis includes two ... -
Utilization of coal biomass fly ash in the control and treatment of acid mine drainage
(2009)This study investigated the feasibility of using coal/biomass fly ash (CBFA) blended with various percentages of mine tailings, bentonite, and glacial till soil to control and treat acid mine drainage (AMD). Applications ...
