A HIGH PRECISION STUDY OF LI-ION BATTERIES
(2012-04-05)Undesired reactions in Li-ion batteries, which lead to capacity loss, can consume or produce charge at either the positive or negative electrode. For example, the formation and repair of the solid electrolyte interphase ... -
High Rate Clarification for Treatment of Mine Water
(2015)Two high-rate clarification processes are often used in mine water treatment, the high density sludge (HDS) process and the ballasted flocculation process. The purpose of this research project was to compare treatment ... -
High resolution palynological records from Atlantic Canada: Regional Holocene paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic history.
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
HIGH VOLTAGE AC-DC LOAD FLOW IN ELECTRICAL POWER NETWORKS
(2014-05-20)Power losses in the grid are important, and as the power losses decrease the efficiency increases. Not much research has been done recently on the Newton-Raphson Power Flow (NRPF) method in polar form for systems with High ... -
High-Frequency Ultrasound Beamforming for a Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Probe
(2020-09-21)Many surgeries are trending toward minimally-invasive procedures to reduce patient recovery times and produce fewer complications. These procedures are characterized by having small surgical openings, making it difficult ... -
High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging of the Auditory System
(2012-11-28)Current technology used to diagnose hearing disorders is limited. This is mostly due to the fact that the auditory structures are very small and not easily accessible with existing imaging technologies. The objective of ... -
A High-Gain Planar Dipole Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Applications
(2014-04-02)In this thesis, a low-profile, high-gain, ultra-wideband (UWB) planar dipole antenna is presented for radar imaging applications. The antenna is loaded with open complementary double concentric split-hexagonal-ring resonators ... -
High-precision Estimation of Roll and Pitch of Aircrafts
(2019-08-26)Positioning plays a vital role in aircraft navigation. Pitch and roll estimation are two important aspects of aircraft positioning. In our research, we focused on a low-cost pitch/roll estimation platform, which includes ... -
A High-Precision Indoor Tracking System
(2013-08-08)Location tracking is of paramount importance to many applications such as healthcare, retail and navigation. Outdoor tracking can be easily implemented using the Global Positioning System (GPS). However, indoor tracking ... -
Higher Education Expansion in China and its Impacts on the Labor Market Outcomes of College Graduates
(2014-04-30)In 1999, the Chinese government launched a higher education expansion policy. Between 1998 and 1999, the number of new students enrolled in colleges increased by 40%. The expansion continued for several years. By 2006, the ... -
A higher precision technique for modelling wave-body interactions.
(Dalhousie University, 2004) -
Higher-dimensional vacuum cosmologies.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
Highly Linear Current to Delay converter and its application in ADC design
(2014-01-31)In this work a low voltage and highly linear current-mode current to delay (CTD) converter is presented. The proposed current to delay converter has the improved linearity of about 23.5% when compared with a conventional–delay ... -
HIGHLY-RESOLVED TEMPOROSPATIAL SHRINKAGE KINETICS OF RESIN-BASED COMPOSITES USING LASER INTERFEROMETRY
(2014-08-14)Photocurable resin-based composites (RBCs) are commonly used as dental restoratives due to their superior aesthetic quality. An enduring problem is that photocuring RBCs results in polymerization shrinkage that may lead ... -
Hilbert Functions in Monomial Algebras
(2011-08-12)In this thesis, we study Hilbert functions of monomial ideals in the polynomial ring and the Kruskal-Katona ring. In particular, we classify Gotzmann edge ideals and, more generally, Gotzmann squarefree monomial ideals. ... -
Hippo pathway control of KSHV latency
(2018-09-28)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the infectious cause of Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman’s disease. It is not known how KSHV causes cancer, but studies have shown ... -
HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF FISH IN COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS
(2016-04-06)Fisheries have contributed to human well-being for centuries. Coastal ecosystems function as fish nurseries, thus adding to fisheries productivity. This thesis examines historical change of commercially important fish in ...
