In this thesis, the economical powder metallurgical approach was investigated to produce two Ti binary alloys (i.e. Ti-Ni and Ti-Sn) and a Ti-48Al based intermetallic alloy. In the first part of the work, Ni and Sn (up to ...

6xxx series (Al-Mg-Si) alloys represent one of the most widely used systems for automotive applications, offering an advantageous balance of thermal conductivity, formability, and strength. In a wrought context, over 45 ...

Cooperative communications is a new wireless networking paradigm that allows networking nodes to collaborate through distributed transmission and signal processing to implement spatial and time signal diversity to combat ...

This thesis facilitates the design challenges of analog and mixed-signal circuits in deep sub-micron technology. In this regard, the design of two analog multiplication architectures is proposed. The process, voltage, ...

In support of continued photovoltaic (PV) electricity development this thesis uses measured PV generation and residential load data to evaluate the impacts of PV intermittency on grid stability, and the importance of ...

Marine species that function acoustically rely on sounds contained by the dynamic composition and material properties of the ocean’s reflective surface. Ocean soundscapes are being impacted by anthropogenic disturbances ...

In 2011, Calgary, Alberta based Borealis Geopower bought the geothermal rights to the Canoe Reach arm of Kinbasket Lake, near Valemount, British Columbia. New to Canada, a pilot project of a 2 megawatt geothermal power ...

Since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission issued its Calls to Action in 2015, Canadian universities have emphasized the importance of inclusivity and diversity and set strategic goals to incorporate Indigenous perspectives ...
