Validation in Risk and Hazard Analysis in Safety-Critical Industries: Understanding Current Practices to Develop a Framework for STPA Validation
(2023-05-30)In recent years, scholars have increasingly delved into the theoretical foundations and issues surrounding risk and safety science. However, validation has not received much explicit attention although it has been highlighted ... -
CRYSTALLIZATION ONSET AND POLYMORPHIC OCCURRENCE IN PURE SATURATED TRIACYLGLYCEROLS DURING COOLING FROM THE MELT
(2023-05-20)The effect of cooling rate on crystallization onset temperature and polymorphic occurrence in four pure saturated triacylglycerols, tridodecanoate (LLL), trimyristate (MMM), tripalmitate (PPP) and tristearate (SSS) has ... -
The Effect of Situational Speaking Anxiety on Stuttering Frequency in Adults Who Stutter
(2003-12)The purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between degree of speaking anxiety, pressure to not stutter, and stuttering in varying speaking situations using two different methodologies. In Study ... -
SHINING A LIGHT TO CHICKEN EMBRYOS: A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON HATCHERY MANAGEMENT
(2023-05-24)The transition towards limiting the use of antibiotics in the production of commercial broiler chickens has challenged the Canadian poultry industry to consider alternate approaches to managing bird health and disease. A ... -
Development of a Novel Fiber-Reinforced Composite Utility Pole
(2023-05-18)The objective of the project outlined in this thesis is to develop a novel utility pole with comparable performance to commercially available fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) poles. The novel pole is made of 3D E-glass-fabric-epoxy ... -
STUDY OF TEMPERATURE, SALINITY, AND CIRCULATION OVER COASTAL AND SHELF WATERS USING NESTED-GRID CIRCULATION MODELS
(2023-05-05)The coastal and shelf waters (CSWs) support a wide range of human activities including tourism, recreation, transportation, and fisheries. Reliable knowledge of dynamics and temperature/salinity over the CSWs are of great ... -
Studies on Leaching Behaviour of Sodium Borosilicate Glasses
(1989-10)A combination of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and epithermal INAA (EINAA) methods has been developed for the simultaneous determination of multi-element concentrations. The elements measured includes Al, ... -
Radiochemical and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analyses of Neoplastic Tissues
(1980-06)Radiochemical and instrumental neutron activation analysis methods coupled with high-resolution Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectrometry have been developed in this work to study the role of trace elements in some models of neoplasia, ... -
A Correction Method for Coincidence Losses in Neutron Activation Analysis with Short-Lived Nuclides
(1981-03)Development of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) methods for simultaneous determination of multielement concentrations is reported in this thesis. Emphasis is placed on the use of short-lived nuclides. A ... -
The Neoplatonic Prehistory of Augustine's Doctrine of The Trintiy
(2001-09)This thesis examines the Neoplatonic philosophical history of the first principle which leads up to and includes Augustine's doctrine of the Trinity. While contemporary scholarship of this history shows how scholars often ... -
Cuticle Proteins in Diverse Lines of Chickens
(2023-04-28)This study investigated variability of cuticle proteins on the eggshell surface from different chicken lines, as they aged. Proteins from 10 eggs were removed from two commercial lines every 30 days from 20 - 66 weeks-of-age. ... -
Urban Intercurrence: The Struggle to Build Walkable Downtowns in Car-Dependent Suburbia
(2023-04-28)An increasing number of cities in Canada and the United States hope to retrofit car- dependent suburban areas into walkable, transit-oriented communities to achieve goals related to health, sustainability, and economic ... -
Stationarity Analysis and Supervised Machine Learning Techniques for Energy Management Forecasting
(2023-04-26)One of the most realistic solutions to the problem of power outages in remote areas is hybrid energy sources (HES). Forecasting is necessary because HES uses renewable energy sources, which are often either intermittent ... -
