"Omar comin" : examining hegemonic masculinities in The Wire
(2018)
This research explores ways that masculinity is depicted in the HBO series The Wire, which
aired for five seasons from 2002-2008. More specifically, I examine and analyze the character of
Omar Little and his portrayals ...
Bacterial isolation and bioconversion of organic materials to industrial platform chemicals
(2018)
Careful selection/isolation of the suitable microbial consortium for enzymatic saccharification of organic matters is a critical step in biofuels production. We isolated strains EF2, OW1-1 and HK2 from intestine of Eisenia ...
Adaptive backstepping control of quadrotors with neural-network
(2018)
A quadrotor is a type of unmanned aerial vehicles. It has been widely used in aerial
photography. The quadrotor has the capability of vertical takeoff and landing, which is very
useful in small or narrow areas. The ...
Fuzzy adaptive control of a two-wheeled inverted pendulum
(2018)
Recently, the two-wheeled inverted pendulum has drawn the attention of robotic community
in view of a plethora of applications, such as transport vehicles: Segway, teleconferencing
robots, and electronic network-vehicle. ...
An intelligent system for temperature monitoring and brake drum cooling
(2018)
Brakes convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy due to friction between fixed and moving brake parts. Frequent applications of the brakes will cause overheating in brake parts, which could generate ...
The consumed university: probing neoliberalism in higher educaton
(2018)
This study probes the influence of neoliberal ideas and ideology in Canadian higher
education. In order to examine such an influence, this study subjected the texts and
artifacts from 14 Canadian university recruitment ...
Petrology of the Crystal Lake Gabbro and the Mount Mollie Dyke, Midcontinent Rift, Northwest Ontario
(2018)
The Crystal Lake Gabbro (CLG) is a Y-shaped, up to 750 m wide, layered mafic intrusion with a 5 km long northern limb and a 2.75 km long southern limb, with localized Cu-Ni and Cr mineralization. The Mount Mollie Dyke (MMD) ...
Organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)
Oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. Other ring systems,
especially those lacking at least C2v symmetry are much less common. We investigated
thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ...
Isolation and characterization of bioconversion microbes and aerobic conversion of crude glycerol to value-added bioproducts
(2018)
Renewable forms of energy are of significant interest in today’s economies. Biofuel is a renewable fuel produced by biological means. Biofuel is very useful because it does not have a finite supply, and it produces fewer ...
The impact of alternate pretreatment methods and osmotic dehydration for the preservation of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium)
(2018)
This study investigated the effects of selected pretreatments and rigorous optimization of osmotic dehydration (OD) of lowbush blueberries using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to produce dehydrated blueberries with ...
