Measuring Inter-Pulse Intervals in Sperm Whale Clicks: Development of an Automatic Method and its Potential for Identifying Eastern Caribbean Social Units
(2018-08-31)Sperm whale clicks have a unique multi-pulsed structure, where the inter-pulse interval (IPI) is related to body length. This feature makes passive acoustic monitoring especially informative for sperm whales. I investigated ... -
Measuring Knowledge Translation Uptake Using Citation Metrics: A Case Study of a Pan-Canadian Network of Pharmacoepidemiology Researchers
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)ABSTRACT Collecting citation metric data is important, as research funders are increasingly demanding impact assessment, but there is limited consensus on the most rigorous and accurate approach. We compared three ... -
Measuring Mind Wandering during Online Lectures Assessed with EEG
(2021)Mind wandering can inhibit learning in multimedia classrooms, such as when watching online lectures. One explanation for this effect is that periods of mind wandering cause learners’ attention to be redirected from the ... -
Measuring Mind Wandering During Online Lectures Assessed With EEG
(Frontiers, 2021-08-09)Mind wandering can inhibit learning in multimedia classrooms, such as when watching online lectures. One explanation for this effect is that periods of mind wandering cause learners’ attention to be redirected from the ... -
MEASURING THE DISTRIBUTION OF NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES (EUBALAENA GLACIALIS) ACROSS MULTIPLE SCALES FROM THEIR VOCALIZATIONS: APPLICATIONS FOR ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
(2021-04-07)The objective of this thesis was to assess the distribution of North Atlantic right whales, Eubalaena glacialis (NARW), in Canadian waters using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) technology at daily to seasonal time-scales, ... -
Measuring the Geometric Component of the Transition-Probability in a 2-Level System
(1991-04)We describe the measurement of a component of the nonadiabatic transition probability in a two-level system that depends only on the path through parameter space followed by the Hamiltonian, and not on how fast the path ... -
Mechanical and Thermal Damage of Hard Chromium Coatings on 416 Stainless Steel
(2016-06-08)Hard chromium coating has a wide range of applications in automotive and aerospace industries. However, the open literature lacks a comprehensive study on the failure of hard chromium coatings. This research focuses on the ... -
Mechanical behavior of flax-lime concrete blocks made of waste flax shives and lime binder reinforced with jute fabric
(Elsevier, 2020-01-14)Due to the increase in production of construction materials, the emission of carbon dioxide levels and the requirement for producing materials with a less environmental footprint is gaining more attention. This paper focuses ... -
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF DAMAGED REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES REPAIRED WITH LAYERED SANDWICH FIBER COMPOSITES
(2021-04-08)Trenchless pipe repair can offer time and cost savings over traditional excavation and replacement of damaged pipes. Conventional repair methods using prefabricated steel liners are not effective due to significant loss ... -
MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SINGLE MICROBIAL CELLS USING MEMS
(2017-06-02)In this study, the mechanical properties of single yeast cells (baker’s and brewer’s strains) were measured by an on-chip PolyMUMPs MEMS squeezer in aqueous media. An electrothermal actuator with mechanical amplifiers was ... -
MECHANICAL CONTROL OF HEART RATE: INVESTIGATING DETERMINANTS OF THE CHRONOTROPIC RESPONSE TO SINOATRIAL NODE STRETCH
(2020-12-08)The sinoatrial node (SAN) is heavily regulated by multiple factors, including stretch, enabling adaptation of heart rate to changes in physiological demand. Right atrial distention, caused by an increase in venous return ... -
Mechanical Design of a Customizable Self-Expanding Endovascular Stent
(2015)Stent migration and endoleak are common failure mechanisms for endovascular repair, both of which can be partially attributed to a lack in understanding of the mechanical properties of endovascular stents. A novel radial ... -
The Mechanical Pathway: Reactivating a Derelict Rail Corridor in Edmonton
(2010-12-17)This architectural thesis addresses a derelict urban rail corridor and the possibility of combining architecture and landscape to reactivate its latent potential as a dynamic seam in the urban fabric. Edmonton is ... -

Mechanical–Structural Investigation of Ion-Exchanged Lithium Silicate Glass using Micro-Raman Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)Micro-Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the structural modifications occurring in a simple ion-exchanged glass. The base lithium silicate composition 30Li2O–70SiO2 was studied as it underwent ion exchange, Li+ ↔ K+, ... -
Mechanics, No. 1,2; Instruments; Experiments, No. 1-4
(2009-07-22)These notes written by James Dinwiddie in 1786 focus on mechanics, instruments, and experiments. He touches on forces and motion in the mechanics section and mentions thermometers, pumps, and pendula in the instruments ...
