ANALYSIS OF A MINE-MILL PRODUCTION SYSTEM USING SIMULATION AND INTEGER PROGRAMMING
(2010-12-20)Mine-mill production faces several operational difficulties, such as fluctuations in ore delivery from mines, random failure of machines, usage of stockpiles and storage bins, and changeover time when switching products. ... -
Analysis of an M/M/1 Queue with Customer Interjection
(2010-07-23)In our daily life, we often experience waiting in a queue to receive some kind of service. Some customers do not join the queue at the end like other normal customers, and try to cut in the queue hoping to have a shorter ... -
ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIORAL AND NEURONAL ACTIVATION FOLLOWING AMPA AND NMDA MICROINJECTIONS INTO THE PERIFORNICAL LATERAL HYPOTHALAMIC AREA IN RATS
(2011-04-15)Although the perifornical lateral hypothalamic area (PeFLH), which contains orexin/hypocretin (OX) neurons, plays an important role in arousal-related behaviors, its neuromodulatory inputs are incompletely understood. The ... -
The Analysis of Brn3a and Thy1-CFP as Potential Markers of Retinal Ganglion Cells after Optic Nerve Injury in Mice
(2013-07-05)Purpose: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss is a measure of the progression of many visual disorders. It is important to identify RGCs with good specificity, so RGC numbers can be reliably analyzed. The purpose of this study ... -
AN ANALYSIS OF CANADIAN EDUCATIONAL POLICY FOR SYRIAN REFUGEE CHILDREN FROM A SOCIAL WORK PERSPECTIVE
(2021-04-08)My study examines a sample of the ideas, plans, goals, procedures, and programs recommended in Canadian educational policies for Syrian refugee children and interrogates educational policies with a critical social work ... -
Analysis of Changes in the Potato Leaf Proteome Triggered by Phosphite Reveals Functions Associated with Induced Resistance Against Phytophthora infestans
(2012-12-19)Exogenous chemicals can be used to stimulate induced resistance (IR), a process related to increased disease resistance of susceptible plants against a broad range of pathogens. The identification of molecular components ... -
ANALYSIS OF CLUSTER AND STRIPE SOLUTIONS IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF BIOLOGICAL AGGREGATION
(2012-05-28)This thesis studies the model of swarming of organisms in groups or clusters and the solution of the interaction equation in a one dimensional biological swarm model. This process describes the behavior of some animal ... -
ANALYSIS OF FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE DEVELOPMENT OF WIND POWER IN ATLANTIC CANADA: APPLICATION OF DISCRETE REGRESSION MODELLING
(2013-04-30)Widespread development of wind energy in Canada can not only increase energy savings to consumers, but also help reduce the negative environmental impacts of generating electricity from non-renewable sources. Although the ... -
Analysis of Functional Constraint and Recombination in Gene Sequences of the Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus
(2010-08-25)Lineages of the cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus marinus have diverged into two genetically distinct ‘ecotypes,’ high-light adapted (HL) and low-light adapted (LL), which thrive under different environmental conditions. ... -
Analysis of Functional MRI for Presurgical Mapping: Reproducibility, Automated Thresholds, and Diagnostic Accuracy
(2010-09-09)Examination of functional brain anatomy is a crucial step in the process of surgical removal of many brain tumors. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a promising technology capable of mapping brain function ... -
Analysis of gene expression microarray data by multivariate curve resolution.
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
Analysis of Mixed Models for Binary Longitudinal Data, with Application to Prescription Switching Patterns
(2016-04-21)This thesis aims to study the statin use patterns of the Nova Scotia seniors population and the patients’ adherence to medication by applying a generalized linear mixed effect model (abbreviated as GLMM). Observations ... -
ANALYSIS OF MULTILAYER-ENCRYPTION ANONYMITY NETWORKS
(2017-10-18)The main goal of multilayer-encryption anonymity networks is to provide a certain level of privacy to their users. At the same time, such networks could be misused to perform harmful network activities. Multilayer-encryption ... -
ANALYSIS OF NATURAL SPEECH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MOOD DISORDERS
(2021-09-02)Psychiatric evaluation relies on subjective assessment. Biomarkers are objective indicators of illness that can aid in diagnostic classification and help guide treatment for individuals with psychiatric illnesses. Speech ... -
