Adaptive optimizer based on the sequential simplex method applied to the control of a thermo-mechanical pulping screening room
(2004)An adaptive optimizer is designed for control of multi-variable processes where the operating characteristics of the plant are time varying. Based on the original sequential method for static applications, the modified ... -
Adaptive steady-state analysis of circuits using wavelets
(2021)This thesis presents research into utilizing the sparse representations of waveforms that are possible in the wavelet domain to increase the computational efficiency of the steady-state analysis of electric circuits. The ... -
Adaptive time-step control algorithm for nonlinear time-domain envelope transient
(2006)This thesis outlines a general method to analyze circuits with several time variables using a technique known as Multi Partial Differential Equation, MPDE. The key idea of MPDE is to convert the system of ordinary ... -
Adaptive variation in cold hardiness among aspen (Populus tremuloides) provenances
(2002)The relative efficiencies of using different methods to detect genetic variation in cold hardiness were evaluated, and the adaptive variation among aspen provenances was further studied. This thesis is organized as three ... -
Adaptive variation of trembling aspen in Northwestern Ontario
(2015-08-05)To demonstrate the pattern of adaptive variation of Populus tremuloides (Michx.) to northwestern Ontario climate conditions, a statistical analysis was completed of growth and phenology variables from 26 provenances. ... -
Adding time-series data to enhance performance of naural language processing tasks
(2023)In the past few decades, with the explosion of information, a large number of computer scientists have devoted themselves to analyzing collected data and applying these findings to many disciplines. Natural language ... -
Addressing Indigenous community concerns of lake health by assessing water quality in Constance Lake, ON and biomarker responses in freshwater mussels, Pyganodon grandis and Lampsilis siliquoidea
(2023)Constance Lake First Nation has had concerns regarding the health of a culturally significant lake, Constance Lake, for several years. There are several external stressors to this lake including urbanization and forestry, ... -
Adipose tissue remodeling in response to corticosterone and β3-adrenergic receptor agonist mirabegron
(2022)With the rise of metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes, the need to investigate one of the most dynamic endocrine organs is critical for combating these diseases. Adipose tissue (AT) exists predominantly ... -
Administering the Auditory Comprehension Test to a group of learning disabled subjects
(1990)This study attempted to replicate the finding by Green and Josey (1988) in some groups of learning disabled children of better comprehension of spoken language in one single ear (monaural condition) than in both ... -
Administration error in presenting the WAIS-R blocks : evaluation of an extreme departure
(1992)This study examined block presentation on the Block Design subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. The standardized procedure dictates that a variety of sides be shown and that the red/white side be ... -
Admixtures for use in geopolymers
(2012-11-10)This study examined two novel approaches for the geopolymerisation of fly ash produced at thermoelectric power stations by combustion of coal. The first approach involved the use of cullet, a post-consumer glass waste, to ... -
Adolescent images of the future and the 'ideology of schooling' / by Susan Heald. --
(1984)The thesis addresses questions of both the methodology and the substantive content of 'cultural reproduction' studies. At the methodological level, the thesis examines the use of 'images of the future' as a tool for ... -
Adoption and use of computer mediated communications : reactions of female site coordinators in a distributed education system
(1989)This study examines women's reactions to the introduction of computer-mediated communications (CMC). The literature suggests women exhibit some reluctance in the use of computer technology. There are, however, computer ... -
Adoption of a cooperative learning teaching strategy in a bachelor of science in nursing course
(1997)The purpose of this case study was to examine the ways in which cooperative learning was used in a senior Bachelor of Science in Nursing course. The subject of the case study was the professor who taught the senior ... -
Adsorption and microflotation studies with pure minerals and an arylhydroxamic acid collector
(2009)A study was conducted to understand the adsorption of N-hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxyl-amine (HCNPHA) on the surfaces of various pure minerals: sphalerite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite and quartz. HCNPHA is a member of ... -
Adult age differences in a visual search, luminance contrast discrimination task
(2003)This thesis examined the ability of younger and older adults to use peripherally presented word cues in a luminance contrast discrimination task. Observers were ten older adults (aged 55 to 69) and ten younger adults ... -
Adult Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder & smoking : an overview of epidemiological data, a review of current studies and the need for future research in Northwestern Ontario
