A DYNAMIC SELECT SECTOR SPDRS ETFS PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION MODEL WITH REGIME-SWITCHING ECONOMIC INDICATORS
(2013-12-16)This thesis studies a dynamic Select Sector SPDRs ETFs portfolio optimization problem. The objective of the optimization model is to maximize the risk-adjusted expected return of a portfolio similar to a logarithmic utility ... -
Dynamic Stress Wave Propagation
(2016-08-31)In an effort to provide an analyst with the fundamental knowledge required to successfully predict dynamic structural response, a detailed summary of dynamic stresses, review of dynamic pulse buckling and verified numerical ... -
DYNAMIC TERRAMECHANIC MODEL FOR LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELED MOBILE ROBOTS
(2011-09-06)This doctoral thesis extends analytical terramechanic modelling for small lightweight mobile robots operating on sandy soil. Previous terramechanic models were designed to capture and predict the mean values of the ... -
Dynamic Trajectory-Based Couch Motion for Improvement of Radiation Therapy Trajectories
(2014-08-27)This work investigates potential improvement in external beam radiation therapy plan quality using an optimized dynamic gantry and patient support couch motion trajectory, which could minimize exposure to sensitive healthy ... -

The Dynamics of Allochthonous Terranes in the Pangean Suture Zone of Southern Iberia
(2010-12-21)Most researchers contend that the destruction of the Rheic Ocean culminated in the formation of the supercontinent Pangea. However, despite the importance of this ocean, there are major uncertainties in the identification ... -
Dynamics of autumn swarming and population structure of little brown and northern Myotis bats (Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis)
(2014-08-08)As a fundamental unit in evolutionary ecology and the base unit for management, the population is of immense interest in understanding a species’ ecology. Individuals are the foundation of populations where their diversity ... -
Dynamics of flexible mobile manipulator structures.
(Dalhousie University, 1997) -
DYNAMICS OF GASEOUS AND SOLID FUEL FIRE WHIRLS
(2022-11-24)Fire whirls (FWs) are swirling diffusion flames with significantly enhanced burning rates, flame heights, and flame temperatures. The swirling motion combined with a more intense flame poses a greater hazard than a ... -
Dynamics of highly unsteady non-Darcy flow through confined porous media.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Dynamics of Species Extinction and Recovery in Multi-Trophic Aquatic Systems
(2010-10-06)The current rate of species extinction is higher than at any other time in Earth’s history. Despite our understanding of the causes and consequences of extinction and the development of numerous species conservation plans, ... -
