“The loveliest lies of all”: Death, Closure, and the Banishment Tale in Patrick McHale’s Over the Garden Wall
(2021-08-24)This thesis is a poststructuralist examination of Patrick McHale’s Over the Garden Wall television miniseries and graphic novels Tome of the Unknown and Distillatoria (termed the “primary canon”) as a postmodern adaptation ... -
Low Back Pain Prognostic Factors in the Canadian Armed Forces
(2014-05-01)Summary: Low back pain is the most common reason for referral to musculoskeletal care in the Canadian military. With healthcare seeking for musculoskeletal care rising over the past five years, and healthcare easily ... -
LOW COMPUTATIONAL OVERHEAD VIDEO ENCRYPTION FOR WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
(2014-10-06)Selective encryption is a promising technique which provides privacy protection for multimedia technology. In this thesis we propose a scheme to optimize computational cost for energy critical wireless multimedia applications. ... -
A LOW COST 2-AXIS PLC CONTROLLED FILAMENT WINDING MACHINE WITH SIMPLIFIED FIBER WINDING ANGLE AND TENSION CONTROL SYSTEM
(2011-03-30)Designing a filament winding machine involves two major components. First component is the designing of the mechanism which delivers appropriate winding pattern as specified by the user (i.e. the winding angle). The ... -
LOW CYCLE RESPONSE OF DENTED PIPELINES SUBJECT TO CYCLIC AXIAL AND BENDING LOADS
(2017-12-15)In the present thesis, the ratcheting and low cycle fatigue responses of dented pipes undergoing quasi-static cyclic loads are investigated through a series of experiments conducted on small-scale pipe samples, and performing ... -
LOW POWER PHOTO-VOLTAIC HARVESTERS AND CHARGERS WITH IMPROVED RELIABILITY, SUITABLE FOR HEAVILY OVERCAST OPERATIONS
(2022-09-06)Photo-voltaic (PV) power harvest can have decent efficiency when working with high irradiance power. A DC-DC boost converter is a vital part of any power harvesting module. When PV operates with a DC-DC boost converter ... -
Low Velocity Impact Response of a Novel Class of Fiber Metal Laminates Consisting of a 3D Fiberglass Fabrics
(2017-11-30)The most important concern in automobiles collision is their crashworthiness. From an engineering point of view, the term “crashworthiness” provides a metric of the abilities of a vehicle and its components to prevent the ... -

A Low-Cost and Resilient Flow Monitoring Framework in SDN
(2019-08-06)Network measurement and monitoring are essential for learning the current network state and act accordingly. Moreover, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) makes the measurement and monitoring more accessible and flexible. ... -
Low-Cost Submersible Fluorometer for Fresh and Marine Water Environments
(2022-12-15)Fluorescence technology is a powerful tool for the detection of harmful algal blooms, oil spill response, oceanographic tracer experiments, and much more. Two ways of fluorescence detection are presented here, a novel ... -
Low-dose pesticide effects in Apis mellifera: testing hormesis and reviewing changing trends in honey bee toxicology research
(2022-08-30)Honey bees (Apis mellifera) dominate crop pollination worldwide and are often considered the most important pollinator of agricultural crops. As pollinators, honey bees are likely to encounter insecticides in the field. ... -
Low-Frequency Hydrophone Calibration Using Elastic Waveguides
(2023-08-08)Modern hydrophone calibration techniques typically require sensors to be placed in a free field or within a hydrostatically varying chamber. Between 1 kHz and 10 kHz, the wavelength in water is too long for free-field ... -
Low-Power Staircase Encoder Implementation for High-Throughput Fiber-Optical Communications
(2020-09-11)This thesis presents a very large scale integration (VLSI) architecture of a high-throughput, low latency and power staircase forward error correction (FEC) encoder. The designed encoder achieves low latency and memory ... -
