Mobile Robot Path Planning Using Genetic Algorithm Global Path PLANNING and Potential Field Path Adjusting
(2017-05-08)The purpose of this thesis was to develop an algorithm which solves the path planning problem for a two-wheeled mobile robot. The algorithm included multiple robots within it. The algorithm was developed by first identifying ... -
A MOBILE ROLE BASED ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM USING IDENTITY BASED ENCRYPTION WITH NON-INTERACTIVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE PROOF OF AUTHENTICATION
(2012-04-05)Controlled access to confidential information and resources is a critical element in security systems. Role based access control (RBAC) has gained widespread usage in modern enterprise systems. Extensions have been proposed ... -
MOBILE SENSING AND YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A PILOT STUDY
(2022-08-11)During the COVID-19 pandemic mental health concerns were exacerbated demonstrating a need for mental health data to be collected on a large-scale and in an affordable form. The study piloted the use of a mobile sensing ... -
A MOBILE SENSING APP FOR MENTAL HEALTH TO SUPPORT FEDERATED LEARNING
(2020-12-18)Smartphones are used by half of the world population. More than 10,000 applications are targeted at Mental health. Available apps are limited in four major ways: One, most apps are designed for the Android platform, 80% ... -

Mobilizing Creative Entrepreneurship: The Design of a Cultural Infrastructure on the Halifax Waterfront
(2014-04-03)Rising commercial rents in downtown Halifax combined with a freeze on federal arts funding are forcing artists to leave the city in search of affordable and accessible workspace. Essential to the cultural and economic ... -
A Model for Public Agrarian Architecture on the Suburban Edge
(2014-04-04)The thesis project is a study for the integration of farming, urban use, and ecology at the edge of the city. The aims of the test-of-principle are to connect the urban consumer with the rural food producer, processing and ... -
A model for the synchronization of road clearing activities with multi-modal relief supply distribution after a natural disaster
(2023-07-31)Natural disasters such as earthquakes can disrupt road networks, with some roads being covered with debris. Similar to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and the 2010 Hurricane Igor, several communities may be isolated because of ... -
Model-based Radiostereometric Analysis of an Uncemented Mobile-bearing Total Ankle Arthroplasty System
(2010-09-09)Model-based radiostereometric analysis (MBRSA) of a total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) prosthesis was studied for the first time. The TAA MBRSA system precision was determined from the double exams of 20 patients ... -
MODEL-PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF A HYDRAULIC ACTIVE HEAVE COMPENSATION SYSTEM WITH HEAVE PREDICTION
(2015)This masters thesis presents the results of tracking ship heave motion with a heave prediction model-predictive controller (MPC) in the experimental actuation of a nonlinear, unloaded, full-scale active-heave compensation ... -
Modeling Activity Selection and Scheduling Behavior of Population Cohorts within an Activity-Based Travel Demand Model System
(2018-04-02)Understanding the time-use activity patterns of population cohorts in the region will contribute greatly to modeling spatio-temporal urban transportation demand models. The research detailed in this dissertation focuses ... -
Modeling and Optimization of Off-Grid solar street lighting system
(2014-09-04)Off-grid solar street lighting presents an opportunity to illuminate specific sections of areas and roads which are not served by the electricity grid. Proper sizing of components may lead to decreasing capital cost as ... -
