MODELING CLINICAL PATHWAYS AS BUSINESS PROCESS MODELS USING BUSINESS PROCESS MODELING NOTATION
(2012-03-09)We take a healthcare knowledge management approach to represent the Clinical Pathway (CP) as workflows. We have developed a semantic representation of CP in terms of a CP ontology that outlines the different clinical ... -
Modeling Cystic Fibrosis Chronic Infection Using an Engineered Mucus-like Hydrogel
(2022-10-28)Airway mucus provides protection to airway epithelial surfaces by trapping and clearing harmful pathogens. In cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that primarily impacts the respiratory system, airway mucus has altered ... -
MODELING DISPERSION INTERACTIONS ON METAL SURFACES USING THE EXCHANGE-HOLE DIPOLE MOMENT
(2018-07-23)Graphene is a two-dimensional material possessing unique electrical and physi- cal properties. London dispersion interactions play a significant role in its adsorp- tion and friction on metal surfaces. Accurate computational ... -
Modeling events of sea-surface variability using spectral nudging in an eddy permitting model of the northeast Pacific Ocean
(2006-06)[ 1] Eddies are an important part of the current system that hugs the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska. The ability of "spectral nudging'' to improve the eddy statistics determined from model simulations of this current ... -
Modeling habitat connectivity and movement of Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) across a fragmented landscape in Rouge National Urban Park, Ontario, Canada
(2019-04)Rouge National Urban Park is a highly fragmented park in Canada’s most populous city, Toronto, Ontario. Habitat fragmentation has been found to hinder conservation efforts due to the associated increased risks of species ... -
Modeling Human Motion-Capture Data for Creativity
(2024-04-16)Human motion-capture data can be represented, modeled, and generated through computational techniques. This thesis explores representations and strategies for querying, interpolating, and sequence modeling of motion-capture ... -
Modeling of a one-inch diameter air-water cylindrical hydrocyclone .

MODELING OF A PALEOCENE SUBMARINE CANYON, JEANNE D'ARC BASIN, OFFSHORE NEWFOUNDLAND, TO DETERMINE CANYON FILL LITHOLOGY
(1997-04-15)The Hibernia Paleocene Canyon, located in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin, offshore Newfoundland, was modeled using the BasinMod lD and BasinMod 2D software packages to determine the lithology of the canyon fill. Petroleum industry ... -
MODELING OF HOURLY STREAM TEMPERATURES WITHIN TWO FORESTED
(2013-03-12)Water temperature is a key physical habitat determinant in lotic ecosystems as it influences many physical, chemical and biological properties of rivers. Hence, a good understanding of the thermal regime of rivers is ... -
Modeling of national and regional residential energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
(Dalhousie University, 2003) -
Modeling of smart composite structures.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
MODELING OF SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL HETEROGENEITY OF THE HUMAN LUNG
(2013-09-05)This thesis investigates variability in airway caliber and the distribution of ventilation within the human lung as thought to occur in asthma. Currently, the understanding of how an integrated network of airways can lead ... -
Modeling Pressure Swing Adsorption Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2018-06-14)A multi-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was developed using OpenFOAM to simulate pressure swing adsorption. The model incorporates momentum conservation equations for the fluid phase, and species and energy ... -
Modeling the effects of ultraviolet radiation on embryos of Calanus finmarchicus and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in a mixing environment
(2000-12)It is well established that ultraviolet radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) harms aquatic organisms. Reductions in productivity have been reported for phytoplankton, ichthyoplankton, and zooplankton in incubations exposed to UVR. ... -
Modeling the evolution of infrared luminous galaxies: the influence of the Luminosity-Temperature distribution
(2005-03)The evolution of the luminous infrared galaxy population is explored using a pure luminosity evolution model which incorporates the locally observed luminosity-temperature distribution for IRAS galaxies. Pure luminosity ... -
Modeling the fate and behavior of oil spills in the Salish Sea
(2018-12-14)Growing transportation of diluted bitumen blends and vessel traffic in the Salish Sea, BC coast could increase the risk of marine oil spill. Understanding the fate and behavior of spilled oil are of importance to help with ... -
Modeling the Fluid Dynamics of a Commercial Ebullated Bed Hydroprocessor
(2017-10-10)Due to the nature of bitumen extracted from Canada’s Athabascan oil sands, upgrading of this heavy oil to lighter, more valuable, products is required. Ebullated bed hydroprocessors are used for the conversion of bitumen ... -
Modeling the Impact on Sediment Texture of Large-Scale Tidal Power in the Bay of Fundy
(2012-12-12)The output of a 3-D ocean circulation model and information on nearly 10,000 sediment samples are used to examine the extent to which a model of ocean currents can be used to predict seabed sediment texture in the Bay of ... -
MODELING THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACTANT ARCHITECTURE ON THE CRITICAL MICELLE CONCENTRATION OF DOUBLE-HEADED AND GEMINI SURFACTANTS
(2010-08-17)Monte Carlo simulations have been used in the past to investigate a variety of surfactant systems; however, there is little published literature for double-headed and gemini surfactants with asymmetric tails. We perform ... -
Modeling the Patient Variability and Hierarchy in Joint-Level Kinematic and Kinetic Function Before and After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery
(2017-04-05)The purpose of this study was to comprehensively capture the variability of improvement in knee joint-level biomechanics during walking gait of participants immediately before to one year after TKA, measured objectively ...
