Perfectionism and self-defeating behaviours: Studying individuals and dyads over time
(2012-09-28)People high in socially prescribed perfectionism (i.e., those who perceive others demand perfection of them) often behave in ways that are incongruent with their efforts to be perfect for others. This research proposes and ... -
Perfectionism, Life Narratives, and Well-Being During Freshman Year
(2012-08-22)Various dimensions of perfectionism are proposed, but are seldom integrated. This research develops and tests an integrative theory of perfectionism. Theory predicts personality traits (perfectionistic concerns, but not ... -
Performance Analysis and Application of Electromagnetic Time Reversal in Source Reconstruction using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method
(2018-12-13)Source reconstruction is a type of an electromagnetic inverse problem that has a wide range of applications. Using the time reversal invariance property of the Maxwell’s equations, reconstruction of electromagnetics sources ... -
Performance Analysis of a Residential, Wind-Energy Thermal Storage System
(2011-10-21)Wind-generated electricity is presented as a means to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and improve a region’s energy security. The variable nature of wind-electricity means that electricity providers face ... -
Performance Analysis of Cryptographic Functions on Programmable NICs
(2022-08-12)The development of programmable network interface cards (also known as SmartNICs) often come with multiple computing cores and multi-hundred Gbps bandwidth that can be used as an enhancement of network computing to extend ... -

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A COMMERCIAL WILD BLUEBERRY HARVESTER USING PRECISION AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGIES AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING
(2015)The wild blueberry industry is currently facing increased harvesting losses due to changes in crop conditions caused by improved management practices. The objectives of this study were to sense the variations in fruit ... -
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A LOW-COST SENSOR FOR CONTINUOUS METHANE MONITORING
(2022-09-15)Methane is a significant contributor to climate change. Methane budgets calculated by different methods can vary up to 50%. Understanding methane sources and sinks is critical to managing emissions. Temporal variability ... -
Performance Evaluation of Controllers in Low-power IoT Networks
(2020-12-17)Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enables network reconfiguration in response to dynamic application requirements. Recently researchers have tried extending SDN in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks, which required ... -
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF NEW AND ADVANCED NEURAL NETWORKS FOR SHORT TERM LOAD FORECASTING: CASE STUDIES FOR MARITIMES AND ONTARIO
(2014-04-03)Electric power systems are huge real time energy distribution networks where accurate short term load forecasting (STLF) plays an essential role. This thesis is an effort to comprehensively investigate new and advanced ... -
Performance Robust Project Scheduling Polices for Naval Ship Maintenance
(2016-09-28)The research presented in this thesis concentrates on robust project scheduling for resource and time-constrained naval maintenance projects. In the naval maintenance environment, and many other real world cases, project ... -

Periodic Coefficients and Random Fibonacci Sequences
(2012-08-27)The random Fibonacci sequence is defined by t_1 = t_2 = 1 and t_n = ± t_{n–1} + t_{n–2} , for n ? 3, where each ± sign is chosen at random with P(+) = P(–) = 1/2. We can think of all possible such sequences as forming ... -
PERIODICITY ENVELOPE ENCODING: EVIDENCE FOR TWO SITES OF INTRODUCTION
