EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE IN-PLANE AND OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY INFILLS BOUNDED BY RC FRAMES
(2020-08-07)A literature review revealed that there is limited technical information available on the subject of masonry infilled frames, in particular, the interaction between the infill and its bounding frame and how this interaction ... -
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Glass Ceramics: The Transparent Ferroelectric Nanocomposite LaBGeO5
(2019-04-02)The LaBGeO5 glass-ceramic composite is a transparent ferroelectric nanocomposite (TFN) material that has come under attention for its ferroelectric properties. LaBGeO5 crystals-in-glass can be formed through controlled ... -
Experimental Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Activation in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Interstitial Cystitis in Mice
(2020-12-18)Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic pain disorder of the urinary bladder that causes symptoms of persistent pelvic pain, nocturia, and dysuria with no curative treatment. Medical management is therefore directed toward ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Bond Dependent Coefficient and Parameters which Influence Crack Width in GFRP Reinforced Concrete
(2013-04-04)Reinforcement of concrete flexural components has been traditionally provided by steel rebar; however, durability concerns and life maintenance costs of this product have powered the emergence of fibre reinforced polymers ... -
Experimental Investigation for the Particle and Sample Size Effect on the Shear Strength Parameters of Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA)
(2021-01-07)TDA has been successfully used in different civil engineering projects as a fill material in its pure state or mixed with soils in TDA-soil mixtures. Despite the superior geotechnical properties and successful applications ... -
An experimental investigation into the effects of mindful attention and trait mindfulness on adolescent pain
(2014-07-25)Mindfulness refers to paying attention to present moment experience nonjudgmentally. It has been hypothesized that attending mindfully to painful sensations may mitigate the experience of pain. The tendency to be mindful ... -
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A PILOT-SCALE MEMBRANE FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR OILY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
(2022-11-25)In this study, a pilot-scale submerged membrane filtration system using hollow fiber (HF) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes was experimentally investigated to treat synthetic oily seawater containing heavy crude oil ... -
Experimental investigation of neuroprotective drugs in models of retinal cell death.

Experimental Investigation of the In-Plane Behaviour of Concrete Masonry Infills Bounded by Reinforced Masonry Frames
(2019-12-12)This study was carried out to investigate the in-plane behaviour of all-masonry infilled frames, i.e., concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced masonry frames. To this end, six specimens including one masonry bare ... -
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE MASONRY INFILLED RC FRAMES
(2017-04-28)This thesis presents results of an experimental study focusing on the out-of-plane behaviour and strength of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced concrete frames. A total of four specimens was tested with different ... -
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE OUT-OF-PLANE BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE MASONRY INFILLED FRAMES
(2017-11-01)This thesis presents an integral part of an on-going research on out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infills, this study was motivated to augment the existing experimental database on out-of-plane behaviour and strength of ... -
Experimental Investigation on the Shear Strength Parameters and Deformability Behavior of Various Soil Types Mixed with Tire-Derived Aggregate
(2018-12-05)Stockpiles of waste tires have become a serious environmental problem in Canada and worldwide. According to the Rubber Association of Canada, approximately 28 million scrap tires are generated annually in Canada, including ... -
Experimental investigations into the pathophysiology of Huntington's disease.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE SANDWICH PANELS
(2020-04-07)The use of disposable plastic items has been increasing enormously throughout the past ten years. Despite comprising of recyclable polymers, thermoplastic waste has made international headlines as a major source of ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR AND STRENGTH OF SHEAR STUDS IN COMPOSITE BRIDGE DECK CONSTRUCTION
(2012-12-18)Cast-in-place concrete in composite with steel sections is commonly used in bridge deck constructions. The shear transfer between the concrete and steel section is achieved by shear connectors and the strength calculation ... -
Experimental Study of Branching Fins for Enhanced Heat Transfer in Latent Energy Storage System
(2017-12-15)Thermal energy from sustainable sources is a growing percentage of the global energy budget, one which requires storage technologies for effective use. For thermal energy, latent heat energy storage systems (LHESSs) offer ... -
Experimental study of coil and shell phase change material heat exchanger.
(2020-05-15)Phase change material-based thermal energy storage (PCM-TES) is a promising thermal energy storage technology because of its high energy storage density and narrower working transition temperature. These devices store ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DOW NWARD FLAME SPREAD RATE ON PMMA
(2014-07-17)The purpose of this thesis is to experimentally study the downward flame spread rate and the angle of pyrolysis with different shapes of PMMA at different oxygen concentrations. The effect of sample shape is considered. ... -
An Experimental Study of Dynamic Biased Skip Lists
(2017-11-01)Skip lists allow search, insert, and delete operations in O(log n) average time. However, they show a lack of efficiency when dealing with data exhibiting locality of reference, meaning the keys are searched or updated ... -
