Measurements of the force exerted by a forced pulsed water jet, and its effect on the mechanical properties of titanium alloys.
(2024-04-15)Forced pulsed water jetting (FPWJ) is a type of high-speed water jet (HSWJ) with a modulated jet – made of water packets – where the primary use is a surface treatment for coatings removal and commercialized by VLN Advanced ... -
Measuring and Assessing the Impact of Race and Culture Assessments in Sentencing
(2022-08-31)In recent years, the use of Impact of Race and Culture Assessments (“IRCA”) emerged in sentencing across Canada, especially in Nova Scotia and Ontario. Sentencing judges recognized that IRCAs “have the potential to provide ... -
Measuring and Characterizing the Ecological Footprint and Life Cycle Environmental Costs of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) Products
(2011-04-20)The fishery for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has received considerable attention in recent years, owing largely to the possibility of its significant expansion and the ecological implications of increased extraction ... -
Measuring and Modeling of Grinding Wheel Topography
(2013-04-08)In this work, measurements and simulations were used to investigate the effects of grinding wheel topography on the geometric aspects of the grinding process. Since existing methods for measuring the grinding wheels were ... -
Measuring competence in the performance of activities of daily living: The forgotten half of Alzheimer's disease.
(Dalhousie University, 2000) -
Measuring Emergency Care Network Population Coverage Using Location-Allocation Models and Geographic Information Systems
(2017-08-31)The objective of this thesis is to measure how the Nova Scotia Emergency Care Network, consisting of Emergency Departments (EDs) and Collaborative Emergency Centres (CECs), covers the population, and provide a tool to ... -
Measuring Inter-Pulse Intervals in Sperm Whale Clicks: Development of an Automatic Method and its Potential for Identifying Eastern Caribbean Social Units
(2018-08-31)Sperm whale clicks have a unique multi-pulsed structure, where the inter-pulse interval (IPI) is related to body length. This feature makes passive acoustic monitoring especially informative for sperm whales. I investigated ... -
MEASURING THE DISTRIBUTION OF NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES (EUBALAENA GLACIALIS) ACROSS MULTIPLE SCALES FROM THEIR VOCALIZATIONS: APPLICATIONS FOR ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
(2021-04-07)The objective of this thesis was to assess the distribution of North Atlantic right whales, Eubalaena glacialis (NARW), in Canadian waters using passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) technology at daily to seasonal time-scales, ... -
Mechanical and Thermal Damage of Hard Chromium Coatings on 416 Stainless Steel
(2016-06-08)Hard chromium coating has a wide range of applications in automotive and aerospace industries. However, the open literature lacks a comprehensive study on the failure of hard chromium coatings. This research focuses on the ... -
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF DAMAGED REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES REPAIRED WITH LAYERED SANDWICH FIBER COMPOSITES
(2021-04-08)Trenchless pipe repair can offer time and cost savings over traditional excavation and replacement of damaged pipes. Conventional repair methods using prefabricated steel liners are not effective due to significant loss ... -
MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SINGLE MICROBIAL CELLS USING MEMS
(2017-06-02)In this study, the mechanical properties of single yeast cells (baker’s and brewer’s strains) were measured by an on-chip PolyMUMPs MEMS squeezer in aqueous media. An electrothermal actuator with mechanical amplifiers was ... -
MECHANICAL CONTROL OF HEART RATE: INVESTIGATING DETERMINANTS OF THE CHRONOTROPIC RESPONSE TO SINOATRIAL NODE STRETCH
(2020-12-08)The sinoatrial node (SAN) is heavily regulated by multiple factors, including stretch, enabling adaptation of heart rate to changes in physiological demand. Right atrial distention, caused by an increase in venous return ... -
Mechanical Design of a Customizable Self-Expanding Endovascular Stent
(2015)Stent migration and endoleak are common failure mechanisms for endovascular repair, both of which can be partially attributed to a lack in understanding of the mechanical properties of endovascular stents. A novel radial ... -
The Mechanical Pathway: Reactivating a Derelict Rail Corridor in Edmonton
(2010-12-17)This architectural thesis addresses a derelict urban rail corridor and the possibility of combining architecture and landscape to reactivate its latent potential as a dynamic seam in the urban fabric. Edmonton is ... -
