The mineralogy and petrology of layered series nepheline syenite within Center II of the Coldwell Complex
(2018)The Coldwell Complex is situated within the Archean Schreiber-White River metavolcanic and metasediment of the Superior Province. Spanning over 25km in diameter, it is the largest alkaline intrusion in North America. The ... -
Mineralogy and petrology of the Good Hope carbonatite complex, Marathon, Ontario
(2023)The Good Hope carbonatite is located northwest of Marathon, Ontario (49° 02’ N, 86° 43’ W). It occurs along the northwest margin of the Prairie Lake complex. The objectives of this research are to characterize the carbonate ... -
The mineralogy of NYF pegmatites from the Coldwell alkaline complex, Northwestern Ontario
(2009)The Coldwell Complex, northwestern Ontario, is a multiphase alkaline intrusion that is host to rare earth element, actinide and other high field strength element mineralization. Preliminary studies have shown that these ... -
Mitigating the impact of decompression latency in L1 compressed data caches via prefetching
(2017)Expanding cache size is a common approach for reducing cache miss rates and increasing performance in processors. This approach, however, comes at a cost of increased static and dynamic power consumption by the cache. ... -
Mixtures of Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Lead to Complex Toxic Outcomes in the Freshwater Amphipod, Hyalella azteca
(2015)The study of ecotoxicology inevitably must address the fact that toxicants always occur in mixture. Unfortunately, our present state of knowledge in terms of predicting the effects of contaminant mixtures and understanding ... -
Mobile miners: work, home, and hazards in Yukon's mining industry
(2015-06-15)This thesis examines the impacts that long-distance commuting operations have for workers in Yukon's mining industry. The Canadian mining industry has transitioned from the traditional Taylorist operations of the twentieth ... -
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 ... -
Mobile robot tank with GPU assistance
(2014-01-22)Robotic research has been costly and tremendously time consuming; this is due to the cost of sensors, motors, computational unit, physical construction, and fabrication. There are also a lot of man hours clocked in for ... -
Modal identification of time-varying structures using the blind source separation techniques
(2016)In last few decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been an indispensable subject in the field of vibration engineering. With the aid of modern sensing technology, SHM has garnered significant attention towards ... -
Modeling groundwater flow and transport of contaminants at a former manufactured gas plant in the midwestern USA
(2013-02-01)The processes used to produce manufactured gas for heating, cooking and lighting purposes in North America from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s have generated by- products such as coal tar containing Monocyclic ... -
Modeling of a high frequency field effect transitor on indium gallium nitride: the metal oxide semiconductor capacitor 1=channel model
(2012-11-10)Quantum devices are an important class of modern heterostructure devices in which quantum effects are exploited directly. A Gallium Nitride high frequency field effect transistor (FET), the subject of this work, exploits ... -
Modeling the transport of Escherichia coli through the subsurface environment
(2009)Subsurface microbial transport is an important concern in many engineering projects. Expanding the knowledge of this process is important for the risk assessment of sites capable of releasing pathogenic bacterial species ... -
Modeling the woody biomass supply chain for energy production in northwestern Ontario
(2014-01-22)Efficient procurement and optimal utilization of woody biomass for bioenergy production requires a good understanding of biomass supply-chain management. The general objective of this research is to develop decision support ... -
Modeling uncertain demand in wood pellet supply chains: a case study from Northern Ontario
(2015-08-05)This thesis aims to enable Canadian wood pellet producers with the opportunity to offer competitive pricing through optimization of their value chains and supply chains, by employing an operational-level decision support ... -
