Development and analysis of a self-tuned neuro-fuzzy controller for induction motor drives
(2005)Induction motors (IM) have been widely utilized in industry for variable speed drives due to some of their advantages, such as rugged construction, low cost and reliable service with easy maintenance, as compared to ... -
Development and evaluation of inductive and deductive models of elk (Cervus elaphus) summer resource suitability in Northwestern Ontario
(2006)Resource-selection modelling techniques take either a deductive or inductive approach. Deductive methods take a “bottom-up” approach, where individual wildlife-resource relationships are the building blocks that define ... -
Development and implementation of various speed controllers for wide speed range operation of IPMSM drive / by Md Muminul Islam Chy.
(2007)Despite many advantageous features of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the precise speed control of an IPMSM drive becomes a complex issue due to nonlinear coupling among its winding currents and the ... -
Development and validation of the successful aging quiz / by Christine A. Knight. --
(2004)The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the Successful Aging Quiz (SAQ), a 70-item, self-administered, multidimensional assessment instrument designed to measure ... -
Development of a methodology for monitoring changes in Ghanaian forest reserves
(2000)The Ghanaian Forests are a significant component of the country’s development. Occasioned by the rapid population growth of the country, increasing phenomena such as shifting agriculture, logging, fuelwood harvesting and ... -
Development of a protocol to profile the gonadal steroid intermediates of vitellogenic ovaries from fathead minnows, pimephales promelas
(1996)This research developed a protocol to extract, isolate, detect, and measure the intermediates involved in ovarian steroid biosynthesis by Pimephales promelas to be used in bleached kraft mill effluent chronic toxicity ... -
Development of a scale to assess individual differences in children's trust-value basis of friendship / Cathy J. Morgan.
(1992)Rotenberg (1986, 1991) has shown that children acquire a "trustvalue" basis of friendship, whereby friendship is a function of how much a child believes a peer will keep secrets, promises and tell the truth. The purpose ... -
Development of a toxicity early warning system (TEW)
(2006)Biomonitoring is a practice that has over time developed into a remarkably accurate form of detecting toxicity in the environment. The Toxicity Early Warning system (TEW) is a Real-Time Biomonitoring system developed to ... -
The development of hypothesis testing behaviour in children
(1973)This experiment investigated whether six, eight, and ten year-old children are capable of simultaneously using more than one hypothesis at a time, or whether children can test only one at a time in a discrimination learning ... -
Development of junior intermediate preservice teachers' mathematical knowledge and values / by Carlos Zerpa.
(2008)This research thesis is composed of two studies. The first study examined the validity and reliability of a locally developed instrument called the Perceptions of Mathematics (POM) questionnaire (Kajander, 2005). The POM ... -
Development of nonlinear 3-D, and novel 2-D optical microscope imaging systems for time-lapse imaging
(2004)The design and development of a nonlinear two-photon, 3-D microscope imaging system, software for manipulation of 2-D and 3-D images, and the operation of a novel 2-D imaging system used for monitoring cultured live cell ... -
Development of optimal breeding zones for white spruce in Ontario under current, past, and anticipated future climate change / by Ashley Marie Thomson.
(2008)Tree breeding zones are delimited areas where trees are selected and bred, and their progeny are planted. Within these zones, the level of adaptation between seedlings and planting sites is controlled to ensure adequate ... -
Development of restrictive disclosure in children's communication with peers
(1986)Research supports the conclusion that adults show a pattern of restrictive disclosure in which they choose to disclose intimate information to friends rather than nonfriends. From a developmental perspective, however, ... -
Dielectric and infrared studies of radio frequency processes in some alcohols
(1988)In this thesis, the results of dielectric studies on a number of aliphatic alcohol molecules with variable chain lengths are presented. This investigation was complemented by infrared and viscosity measurements. Dielectric ... -
Dielectric relaxation and infrared studies of hydrogen bonding
(1985)Dielectric relaxation and infrared study of a number of associating (H-bonding) compounds in glassy media, mainly polystyrene, have been carried out. The dielectric measurements by a General Radio 1621 Precision ... -
Dielectric relaxation studies of some diaryl molecules in polystyrene matrices
(1978)Dielectric relaxation studies of a number of diaryl molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene and in some cases as solid discs have been carried out. Preparation of the polystyrene matrices and the solid disks, and the ... -
Dielectric studies of molecular and intramolecular motions in polystryrene matrices
(1977)Dielectric absorption studies of a variety of polar solutes containing rotatable groups and of some analogous rigid molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene have been carried out. Preparation of the solutions as solid ... -
Dielectric studies of molecular motions in some solids
(1982)Dielectric absorption of a number of nonpolar, weakly polar and fairly polar molecules in the pure solid state are studied. Measurements of these solids using either a General Radio 1621 Precision Capacitance Measurement ... -
Dielectric studies of rigid and flexible molecules in various media
(1984)This thesis investigates mainly the molecular and intramolecular relaxation processes of some aromatic and aliphatic molecules containing rotatable polar groups and some analogous rigid molecules dispersed in (a) ...
