AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL WITH SMARTPHONES
(2016-12-05)With the enhancement in technology, people are relying more on mobile devices for accessing social media sites, online shopping or financial transactions. These devices are smart but the methods of authentication are ... -
An Integrated Biorefinery for Anaerobic Digestion of Thin Stillage and Microalgae Cultivation for Nutrient Recycling, Bioenergy and Bioproduct Production
(2019-08-29)Corn grain is one of the main sources for bioethanol production. However, corn bioethanol plants consume a significant amount of energy and water, compete with the food supply chain and may lead to eutrophication as the ... -
Integrated Coagulation-Adsorption Dissolved Air Flotation Treatment for Oily Wastewater
(2015)Produced water is the largest wastewater stream generated by the petroleum industry, and contains a range of petroleum hydrocarbons in free, dispersed and dissolved form. In the offshore environment, produced water management ... -
Integrated disinfection for mitigating microbial regrowth in drinking water distribution systems.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
An integrated epidemiological supply chain management approach for the COVID-19 vaccine distribution and allocation problem
(2023-08-28)This thesis proposes an integrated model for vaccine distribution and allocation that combines an SEIR compartmental model with a transhipment model. Given the NP-hardness of the problem, eight solution methods are explored ... -
Integrated Lithostratigraphic, Formation and Structural Evaluation of the Migrant Structure, Sable Subbasin, Offshore Nova Scotia.
(2021-04-12)Well data and 3D seismic are integrated to investigate the impact of sand-on-sand juxtaposition across a crestal fault in the Migrant Structure previously missed in 2D seismic. Pressure and petrophysical analysis of well ... -
An Integrated Modeling Approach for Evaluation of Phosphorus Loading in Rural Nova Scotia Watersheds
(2014-01-27)Residential on-site wastewater systems (OWS) are a potential source of phosphorus (P) which can negatively impact surface water quality in rural watersheds. The magnitude of P loading from OWS is typically not monitored, ... -
An Integrated Neoclassical Realist and Constructivist Approach to the Study of Canadian Foreign Policy: Canada's Response to the 2011 Intervention in Libya
(2014-08-25)The following project is an examination of Canadian foreign and defence policy. Specifically, it is argued that growing trends in Canadian foreign policy necessitate a theoretical framework that is able to accurately examine ... -
An Integrated Optimization Tool in Applications of Mining using A Discrete Rate Stochastic Model
(2011-12-16)The simulation as a stand alone optimization tool of a complex system such as a vertical integrated mining operation, significantly over simplifies the actual picture of the system processes involved resulting in an ... -
Integrated water resources planning and management at the level of an industrial park.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Integrated-optic waveguides and devices.
(Dalhousie University, 1988) -
Integrating Distributed Generation in Power Distribution Networks using Fuzzy Logic
(2014-08-22)In this research simulations have been carried out on a 10 kV and IEEE 13 node test distribution feeder to show the impact of adding distributed generations (DG) in the medium voltage distribution network. Equations of ... -
Integrating functional and taxonomic data types for microbiome data analysis
(2020-12-14)Communities of microbes in natural environments, referred to as microbiomes, are commonly profiled with DNA sequencing approaches. Sequencing results are typically partitioned so that the relative abundances of microbes ... -
Integrating Infrastructure: Post-Traffic Viaducts as Community Connectors
(2021-07-22)In many Canadian cities, over-built and under-used road infrastructures from the ‘Urban Renewal’ era exist adjacent to their city centres. In Vancouver, plans for their removal and site re-design strategies are already ... -
An integrating model of work and family stress: Comparison of models.
(Dalhousie University, 1993) -
Integrating Protocol-driven Decision Support within E-Referral System: Supporting Primary Care Practitioners for Spinal Care Consultation and Triaging
(2014-04-29)Referrals to the Halifax Infirmary Neurosurgery Department are submitted with regards to spinal conditions with different degrees of complications. Although there exists a Spinal Condition Consultation Protocol to standardize ... -
Integrating Structure, Systems, and Space: CLT + Steel
(2016-08-23)This thesis examines building system integration for Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), an emerging engineered wood building product. CLT is structurally robust, constructionally efficient, and environmentally friendly, but the ... -
INTEGRATING WIND GENERATED ELECTRICITY WITH SPACE HEATING AND STORAGE BATTERIES
(2011-01-06)The world faces two major energy-related challenges: reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and improving energy security. Wind-electricity, a clean and environmentally sustainable energy source, appears promising. However, its ... -
Integration of Human Factors into Engineering Design
(2016-04-29)Usability has been shown to increase the success of design projects, but is routinely left out of the design process. Through an investigation into the history and value of usability, experiential design project, analyzing ...
