Integrating Distributed Generation in Power Distribution Networks using Fuzzy Logic
(2014-08-22)In this research simulations have been carried out on a 10 kV and IEEE 13 node test distribution feeder to show the impact of adding distributed generations (DG) in the medium voltage distribution network. Equations of ... -
Integrating Frailty and Physical Resilience to Improve Risk Estimation in Aging Populations
(2024-04-11)Background: Physical resilience, broadly defined as the ability to resist or recover from health stressors, is a relatively new concept in the field of aging, yet, anticipated as a potentially game-changing idea. In ... -
Integrating functional and taxonomic data types for microbiome data analysis
(2020-12-14)Communities of microbes in natural environments, referred to as microbiomes, are commonly profiled with DNA sequencing approaches. Sequencing results are typically partitioned so that the relative abundances of microbes ... -
Integrating Infrastructure: Post-Traffic Viaducts as Community Connectors
(2021-07-22)In many Canadian cities, over-built and under-used road infrastructures from the ‘Urban Renewal’ era exist adjacent to their city centres. In Vancouver, plans for their removal and site re-design strategies are already ... -

Integrating Protocol-driven Decision Support within E-Referral System: Supporting Primary Care Practitioners for Spinal Care Consultation and Triaging
(2014-04-29)Referrals to the Halifax Infirmary Neurosurgery Department are submitted with regards to spinal conditions with different degrees of complications. Although there exists a Spinal Condition Consultation Protocol to standardize ... -
Integrating Structure, Systems, and Space: CLT + Steel
(2016-08-23)This thesis examines building system integration for Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), an emerging engineered wood building product. CLT is structurally robust, constructionally efficient, and environmentally friendly, but the ... -
INTEGRATING WIND GENERATED ELECTRICITY WITH SPACE HEATING AND STORAGE BATTERIES
(2011-01-06)The world faces two major energy-related challenges: reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and improving energy security. Wind-electricity, a clean and environmentally sustainable energy source, appears promising. However, its ... -
Integration of Human Factors into Engineering Design
(2016-04-29)Usability has been shown to increase the success of design projects, but is routinely left out of the design process. Through an investigation into the history and value of usability, experiential design project, analyzing ... -
INTEGRATION OF LEGACY APPLIANCES INTO THE SMART HOME
(2015)Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and improving energy security are two energy related challenges the world faces. Renewable energy such as wind and solar appears to be encouraging in solving these issues due to their clean ... -
Integration of Observations and Models for an Improved Understanding of Marine Ecosystem Dynamics
(2017-10-03)While both observational and modelling approaches can improve our understanding of ocean ecology, each type of approach has intrinsic limitations. Direct observations have limited temporal/spatial coverage and many quantities ... -
Integration, Conversion or Conflict? A Critical Ontology of the Integration of “CAM” into Biomedical Education
(2013-12-16)This thesis explores the ontological content of the integration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in biomedical education, through a critical exploration of “CAM" policy related documents from the World Bank, ... -
Integrative laterality mapping with MEG and fMRI for presurgical evaluation in epilepsy
(2013-10-04)In cases of temporal lobe epilepsy, seizures are often controlled by anterior temporal lobe resection. However, an assessment of the impact of surgery on language is required. Currently-used assessments are either non-specific ... -
Integrative Urban Fabric: Undoing Socio-Cultural Borders in Informal Streets
(2024-04-08)Lima is a city of social and physical borders dividing the upper and lower social classes. This was shaped in the 1950s when waves of rural migration disrupted the social structure and as a result, the rejected lower class ... -
Integrity and Fracture Response of Offshore Pipelines Subject to Large Plastic Strains
(2011-03-30)Steel pipelines are widely used in offshore oil/gas facilities. To achieve economically feasible designs, regulatory codes permit utilization of the pipelines well past their elastic response limit. This requires thorough ... -
