Development of A New Cell Design for Battery Research and an Investigation of Electrode Materials and Electrolyte Systems For Mg Batteries
(2014-12-10)Magnesium batteries are considered as an inexpensive and high energy density alternative to Li-ion batteries. One of these challenges in Mg batteries is the lack of rigid, inexpensive cell hardware to test new electrode ... -
Development of a New High Performance Synthetic Fiber for Concrete Reinforcement
(2012-11-20)The research objective was to develop a new competitively priced, high strength macrosynthetic fiber for concrete reinforcement. Mechanical bond properties were examined through aligned and inclined pullout testing. Variables ... -
Development of a Novel Boron free Filler Metal for Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Ni base superalloys
(2019-12-05)Joining of Ni base superalloys by transient liquid phase bonding (TLPB) has found limited application in aerospace due to the formation of brittle borides adjacent to the joint. Filler metals containing ~3 wt% B as a melting ... -
Development of a Novel Fiber-Reinforced Composite Utility Pole
(2023-05-18)The objective of the project outlined in this thesis is to develop a novel utility pole with comparable performance to commercially available fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) poles. The novel pole is made of 3D E-glass-fabric-epoxy ... -
Development of a novel in vitro model system to characterize the role of activity in motor neurons during development and disease
(2017-05-11)Neural activity modulates motor axon guidance and synaptic function during development. Differences in neural activity also contribute to the demise of specific motor neuron subtypes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL PASSIVE SAMPLING APPROACH FOR MONITORING GEOSMIN AND 2-MIB IN WATER
(2022-12-16)The increased eutrophication of freshwater sources has led to a rise in taste and odour events notoriously caused by geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB). This places more pressure on current monitoring methods due to ... -
Development of a Novel Radiation Dosimeter: The Stemless Plastic Scintillation Detector
(2021-08-24)Radiation detectors are fundamental tools for the quantitative characterization of therapeutic fields of ionizing radiation. Dosimetry measurements aim to quantify the amount of energy deposited in the body (dose). Therefore, ... -
Development of a Novel Thermal Management Technology of Tablet Computers using Phase Change Materials
(2016-08-23)Tablet computers (PCs) are continuously moving toward light, thin, and small shape factors to achieve an eye appealing design while providing extreme mobility. The increased integration of electronic components with high ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID ATP ANALYSIS METHOD: BIOMASS GROWTH ATP METHOD FOR UV DISINFECTION MONITORING IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
(2014-12-10)Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) analysis is gaining popularity as a robust method to quantify microbial content in water supplies and wastewater treatment processes. ATP testing provides cost effective microbial analysis ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A RAPID IN SITU TRANSESTERIFICATION METHOD FOR FATTY ACID ANALYSIS IN MICROALGAE
(2012-04-27)The FAME yield from microalgae of two in situ transesterification methods were compared to a typical Folch et al. (1957) extraction followed by transesterification using the Hilditch et al. (1964) procedure. A method based ... -
Development of a REILP Approach for Long-Term Planning of WRM System in Saudi Arabia
(2014-12-08)Water resources in Saudi Arabia are very limited. However, the population is steadily growing at a high rate. Since the yearly rainfall rate is very low in most regions of the country, the non-renewable groundwater has ... -
Development of a Standardized Leaching Procedure for the Evaluation of Uranium Mobility in Groundwater in Nova Scotia
(2016-08-25)Approximately 4% of drinking water wells in Nova Scotia contain elevated concentrations of naturally-occurring uranium. There is demand for a simple and effective procedure to evaluate soil and rock formations for uranium ... -
Development of a Technique for Sub-nm Measurements of 1-D Motion and its Application to MEMS
(2019-04-29)This thesis examines the development and testing of a new algorithm for measuring rectilinear displacements in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), however the algorithm could easily be applied to other applications. ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF A VIBRATION-BASED HEALTH MONITORING STRATEGY FOR ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE PIPELINES
(2013-12-16)Ageing mechanical, civil, aerospace, marine and offshore structures require continuous and accurate assessment on their integrity to avoid potentially hazardous failures. To further facilitate this crucial demand, a new ... -
