Metaheuristic Algorithms for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window and Skill Set Constraints
(2016-12-19)A subcontractor assigns installation services requested by a group of geographically scattered customers to its technicians daily. Requested services by the customers require a set of skills and should start during customers’ ... -
METAL OXIDE NEGATIVE ELECTRODES FOR SODIUM-ION BATTERIES
(2015)Sodium-ion battery technology is of interest for energy storage applications because it has the potential to be sustainable and cost effective. Currently, the lack of a suitable negative electrode material limits the ... -
A Metamorphic History of Supracrustal Rocks on Harøya and Finnøya, Nordøyane, Western Gneiss Region, Norway
(2013-01-02)The tectonometamorphic histories of allochthonous nappe units that were deeply buried and subsequently exhumed during the Scandian orogeny in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of Norway are poorly constrained and understood. ... -
The Metaphysical Origin of the Two-Fold Conception of Human Selfhood in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
(2014-08-25)This thesis aims to unearth the root of the apparent contradiction in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics between the endorsement of the life devoted to, on the one hand, the practical good, and, on the other hand, the theoretical ... -
METAPHYSICS & MORALS IN CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN NEUROSCIENCE AND RETRIBUTIVE FOLK PSYCHOLOGY
(2020-09-10)The retributive justification of Canadian criminal law contains several assumptions about human nature that conflicts with what neuroscience has established regarding human behavior and the function of rationality. ... -
Method Development for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Studies of Bovine Serum Albumin on Platinum Electrode Surfaces
(2014-04-03)In this thesis, a method is presented for studying protein adsorption on solid surfaces by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), using a model system of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on platinum electrode surfaces. ... -
A Method for Designing Monuments for River Culture: The Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas Environmental Movement as a Case Study
(2022-04-14)This thesis asks how nature becomes a part of identity. It looks to the Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas (Without Dams) movement which halted the building of several hydroelectric dams along the Baker River. Geographical ... -
A Method to Characterize Natural Organic Matter using Size Exclusion Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detector
(2018-09-28)The main objective of this research was to develop a new detection method to characterize natural organic matter (NOM) using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) with charged aerosol detector (CAD). Conventional UV detectors ... -
A METHOD TO PREDICT PILE RESPONSE UNDER VEHICULAR LOADING FOR INTEGRAL ABUTMENT BRIDGES
(2017-02-10)The objective of this work is to develop a design method for Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs), such that more accurate predictions of pile response to vehicular loading can be made. This paper presents the results of field ... -
A Methodological Exploration of Scent Processing in Vitro in Hypoglycemia Alert Dogs
(2017-08-23)The olfactory acuity of dogs has resulted in them being trained for a wide range of applied tasks, including the detection and alert of medical conditions and states. Anecdotal reports of dogs signaling hypoglycemia in ... -
METHODS FOR ESTIMATING APPARENT DENSITY OF SEDIMENT IN SUSPENSION USING OPTICS
(2015-05-01)In most aquatic environments, suspended sediment is composed of loosely packed particle aggregates, termed flocs, that have variable apparent densities. The apparent density of flocs, which is defined as particle dry mass ... -
Methods for reducing vehicular greenhouse gas emissions using electric vehicles and wind-electricity
(2012-08-03)Recently, electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining attention in passenger transportation due to their greater fuel economy and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to conventional vehicles (CVs). The amount of ... -
Methods to Isolate Proteins from Detergent-containing Solutions for Proteome Analysis
(2014-12-10)The use of the detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to assist in the solubilization of protein samples can be highly beneficial in the proteomics workflow. However, SDS is incompatible with LC-MS. Acetone precipitation ...
