INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING COLLISION CVD ESTIMATION AND THE IMPACT OF DECOMPOSITION ERRORS ON THE EMG SIGNAL COHERENCE
(2010-10-18)Experimental measurements are never perfect, even with sophisticated modern instruments. One of the fundamental problems in signal measurement is distinguishing the noise from the signal. Sometimes the two can be partly ... -
Investigation of factors affecting crystallization of cyclopentane clathrate hydrate
(2008-11)We report the results of systematic investigations of the influence of thermal history and other factors on crystallization of a model clathrate hydrate (cyclopentane hydrate) studied as water-in-oil and oil-in-water ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ACTIVATION IN WHITE MATTER AT 4 TESLA
(2012-07-25)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive technique that allows for visualization of active brain regions. Although white matter (WM) constitutes approximately 50% of brain tissue, fMRI activation ... -
Investigation of Grinding Wheel Wear Using a White Chromatic Sensor
(2015)This thesis involves the measuring of grinding wheel wear using an improved grinding wheel scanner. The positional resolution of the scanner has been improved from 26.5 μm to 0.65 μm with the addition of a second encoder. ... -
Investigation of Immunotoxicity of Copper-based Nanoparticles Using an In Vitro Inhalation Model
(2020-09-01)With a wide range of applications for nanotechnology, there is an increasing risk of nanoparticles (NPs) exposure for workers and the public. While many studies have evaluated the cytotoxicity of copper (Cu) NPs, this ... -
Investigation of Increased Wall Stiffness on Load Effect Equations for Soil Metal Structures
(2015)The soil-steel bridge industry is expanding into new markets and more demanding applications. In the past, shallow corrugated plates (51mm by 152 mm) were replaced with deep corrugated plates (140 mm by 381 mm) to allow ... -
INVESTIGATION OF INHIBITION, FILAMENT FORMATION, AND INTER-DOMAIN AMMONIA CHANNELLING OF CTP SYNTHASE
(2019-11-28)Cytidine-5′-triphosphate (CTP) synthase (CTPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of CTP from UTP using either L-glutamine or free NH3 as a substrate. Glutamine is hydrolyzed in the glutamine amidotransferase (GATase) domain, ... -
INVESTIGATION OF LiMn0.8Fe0.2PO4 FOR Li ION CELLS
(2024-04-12)LiMnxFe1-xPO4 (LMFP) is a promising material for Li+ ion batteries. It is inexpensive and has higher energy density than LiFePO4 (LFP), making it a candidate for the next generation of Li+ ion batteries for electric ... -
Investigation of marginal explosibility of organic dusts in the 20-L and 1-m3 explosion chambers
(2018-08-20)Experimental research has been conducted to investigate the explosibility behaviour of the so-called marginally explosible dusts, using well-calibrated standard apparatus and ASTM standard procedures. These dusts have been ... -
An Investigation of Methods to Enhance Stratification in Solar Domestic Hot Water Tanks.
(2011-04-08)Solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems collect energy with a solar collector, transfer the energy to the water through a heat exchanger, and store it in a storage tank. The water in the tank should be thermally stratified ... -
Investigation of Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Developmentally Regulated Programmed Cell Death in the Lace Plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis)
(2015)Programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for the development and survival of eukaryotes. PCD is well understood in animals and relatively less is known in plants. PCD occurs throughout a plant’s life cycle, from the ... -
The Investigation of Mysterious Marine Oil Spills on the West Coast of Canada
(2012-09-05)The Government of Canada’s National Aerial Surveillance Program (NASP) is responsible for the monitoring of ship based oil pollution in Canada’s three oceans. In many of these spills, the source of pollution is unknown as ... -
Investigation of NMDA Receptor Subunit Composition in the Developing Cat Visual System Following Brief Immersion in Darkness
(2020-08-11)During early postnatal development, the critical period is a time during which the visual system exhibits robust plasticity, and neural circuitry can be easily modified by changing levels of visually-driven activity. ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF NUCLEAR LIPID DROPLET PROTEINS AND NUCLEAR LIPID DROPLET PROTEIN DYNAMICS
(2022-07-28)Aberrant lipid storage is a hallmark of many pathologies, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is characterized by an accumulation of lipids stored in lipid droplets (LDs) in the cytoplasm. A ... -
