Abstract Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) are an active area of research and development. The underwater environment is harsh; acoustic channel characteristics such as high attenuation and absorption are ...

In this thesis, we propose first a new design for asymmetric M-ary QAM based on triangular QAM (TQAM) called asymmetric TQAM which provides considerable power gain over the asymmetric SQAM. In particular, information ...

Reagent-based colourimetric analyzers that are intended to operate for significant durations in the field typically aim to conserve energy use per measurement. In many cases, the fluid under analysis must be elevated to ...

The purpose of this report is to provide Dalhousie University with information about the number of Energy Star appliances within the common rooms of three residences, Howe Hall, Risley Hall, and Shirreff Hall and how the ...

i-Research Question and Objective: What is the current level of energy consumption in the Dalhousie Student Union Building (henceforth referred to as the SUB) kitchen, and to what extent can we lower consumption by either ...

Energy efficiency and power consumption are increasingly important in wireless communications and especially for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The limited energy budget in a WSN imposes many constraints on the transmitter ...

This thesis evaluates Canada‘s compliance with human rights-based complementary international protection. Through an analysis of the roots of international refugee protection, it first links the evolution of the latter ...

This thesis studies the relationship between the urban environment and ecosystem and the intersection between ecosystem and architectural project. While urban sites are commonly understood as separate and unique from their ...

Asthma is the second most common chronic condition among Aboriginal youth. This three-phase study aims to understand the psycho-social barriers facing asthmatic Mi’kmaq youth and their parents/caregivers living in Cape ...
