APPLE PROCESSING BY-PRODUCTS AS A FEEDSTOCK FOR MANUFACTURE OF BIO-ETHANOL AND ORGANIC ACIDS
(2011-12-15)Bio-conversion of agricultural wastes provides a viable solution to multiple environmental problems as well as production of natural products. Apple processing for manufacturing juice, pies and sauce results in significant ... -
THE APPLICATION OF ACTIVE LEARNING KRIGING IN DETERMINING THE RELIABILITY OF BRIDGE COMPONENTS
(2022-12-16)The objective of this research was to develop a framework of analysis using Active Learning Kriging Monte Carlo Simulation (AK-MCS) to assess and optimize the reliability calculation of reinforced concrete bridges components. ... -
Application of an Environmental Management Systems Approach to Fisheries : A Case Study of the Fishery of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation
(2001)This study explores the potential contribution of the environmental management systems approach to fisheries management. A review of fisheries management literature was conducted, and a case study was used, to develop an ... -
Application of Clustering, Logistic Regression and Decision Tree Induction on EGM Data for Detection and Prediction of At-Risk and Problem Gamblers
(2014-08-12)The use of data mining techniques for problem gambling behaviour analysis has huge potential to offer players protection and to reduce the risk of gambling-related harms. In this thesis, we apply three data mining ... -
Application of Data Envelopment Analysis to Optimize Transfer of Ischemic Stroke Patients for Endovascular Thrombectomy
(2023-12-12)Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death. A new treatment called Endovascular Thrombectomy (EVT) is available to severe stroke patients, but it is only offered at large urban centres and its effectiveness is time ... -

The Application of Isothermal Microcalorimetry to the Study of Parasitic Reactions in Lithium Ion Batteries
(2015)In an ongoing effort to advance the understanding of how electrolyte composition impacts the performance and lifetime of lithium ion cells, this work introduces the use of isothermal microcalorimetry as a tool to measure ... -
Application of machine learning algorithm on binary classification model for stroke treatment eligibility
(2023-04-17)In Canada, stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and the third leading cause of death. Ischemic stroke is the most common type, making up approximately 85% of all stroke patients. Endovascular treatment (EVT) is ... -
An Application of Mathematical Optimization to Autoclave Packing and Scheduling in a Composites Manufacturing Facility
(2015)An industry problem regarding autoclave packing and scheduling in a composites manufacturing facility is examined. The hill-climbing method is modified and applied to solving the packing of autoclaves, which is a modified ... -
