High-power medium-voltage motor drive: converter topology, modulation, and control
(2021)The output power quality, device voltage sharing, power converter flying capacitor voltage ripple and motor torque ripple at low-frequency/ speed operation are the major issues in high-power medium-voltage (MV) motor ... -
Historical comparison of tea culture in China, Britain, and Japan between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries: a performative approach to ritual theory
(2023)Tea culture was transmitted from China, the country of origin, first to Japan and then to Britain. The former is a tradition steeped in Japanese history, while the latter is more recent and a function of colonialism and ... -
Holistic resource management in UAV-assisted wireless networks
(2022)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered as a promising solution to assist terrestrial networks in future wireless networks (i.e., beyond fifth-generation (B5G) and sixth-generation (6G)). The convergence of various ... -
Holocene fire-climate-vegetation dynamics in Central Canadian Shield boreal forests of Northwestern Ontario, Canada / by Dominic Lafontaine-Senici.
(2014)The boreal forest is the largest terrestrial ecosystem in North America, one of the least disturbed by humans, and most disturbed by fire. This combination makes it an ideal system to explore the environmental controls on ... -
Holocene Occupations of Northwestern Ontario: Implementing a Multi-analytical Approach for the Detection of Technological Variability and Subsistence Complexities
(2016)This thesis presents the results of a micro-analytical analysis, specifically use-wear and residue analyses, on unifacial lithic artifacts from the Electric Woodpecker II (DdJf-12) Early Holocene site, located approximately ... -
How can non-native teachers develop culturally responsive programs in remote First Nations communities? : learning from the experts
(2014-01-22)There are a growing number of scholars who argue that statistics alone do not provide an accurate depiction of Aboriginal education and instead focus on successful education practices in Aboriginal communities and schools. ... -
How does environmental variation effect fitness of density-dependent habitat selectors? / by Jody T. MacEachern.
(2010)The spatial distribution of animals can arise through a variety of habitat-selection strategies. It is unclear which habitat characteristics lead to the evolution of one of these strategies over another. Thus I use an ... -
How forests and forest management messaging was disseminated in governmental promotional material in Ontario, 1800–1959
(2020)This dissertation studies governmental forestry promotional publications issued in Ontario, to examine how messaging of forests and forest management was disseminated in promotional publications released by government ... -
HRV reactivity and new romance: cause or consequence?
(2014-01-22)This study explored two competing hypotheses explaining the association of heart rate variability (HRV) and romantic relationships. HRV refers to the variation between successive heartbeats and is considered to be a ... -
Human trafficking in Canada crisis or confusion : an examination of Canada's trafficking legislation and the development of a social crisis
(2012-11-10)Since the implementation of Canada's domestic human trafficking legislation in 2005, the media, police, and government agencies have paid increasing attention to this issue. Using a social constructionist approach, ... -
Humoral immunity in patients with chronic kidney disease and their response to pneumococcal immunization
(2020)In northwestern Ontario the Indigenous First Nations (FN) population have an increased prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is an increased rate of infectious disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae ... -
A hybrid approach to condition assessment of paved roads
(2021)Road reconstruction is drastically more expensive than an appropriate maintenance program. Performing targeted maintenance requires a comprehensive inventory of road conditions. To create and maintain a road condition ... -
Hybrid deep learning with stacked dilated causal convolutions for health forecasting using multivariate time-series data
(2022)Health forecasting using time-series data facilitates preventive medicine and healthcare interventions by predicting future health events. This thesis introduces a novel hybrid deep-learning architecture for health ... -
A hybrid prognostic approach for battery health monitoring and remaining-useful-life prediction
(2021)Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are commonly used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as portable communication devices, medical equipment, and electric vehicles. However, the Li-ion battery performance ... -
Hydraulic and dynamic assessment of triangular labyrinth weirs and wier-pool type fishways
(2019)The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation process for converting glycerol into bio-crude / by Matthew A. Tymchyshyn.
(2010)"Bio-energy is a clean (containing negligible sulfur and being near-carbon neutral), renewable and abundant source of energy. Bio-energy can be a potential alternative to fossil fuels for the production of energy and ... -
Hydrogen sulfide modulates gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis in mouse primary hepatocytes
(2016)Among many endogenous substances that regulate hepatic energy production is the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In the liver, H2S production is largely catalyzed by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and, to a lesser ... -
Identification of boreal mixedwood forest structure cohorts in Northwestern Ontario using Ontario's forest resource inventory, Abitibi-Bowater's continuous forest inventory and stepwise discriminant function analysis
(2009)A model was developed to determine if Ontario's Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) could be used to classify boreal mixedwood stands in northwestern Ontario into structural cohorts as proposed in the Multi Cohort Forest ... -
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 ...
