Understanding Of Silicate-based Corrosion Inhibitor For Controlling Lead Release And Water Quality In Drinking Water Distribution Systems
(2020-12-07)
Sodium silicates have been used in drinking water treatment for decades, both as sequestrants and as corrosion inhibitors. For the latter purpose they are poorly understood; a lack of information contributes uncertainty ...
AUTONOMOUS MISSION-PLANNING AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN MULTI-DOMAIN ROBOTS
(2020-12-15)
Autonomous multi-robot path-planning and task-allocation to address unresponsive or even evasive targets on or under the water is studied. Challenges in robot localization and navigation in GPS-denied and communication ...
Morphological Variation and Genetic Differentiation in Wild and Domestic Atlantic Salmon from Southern Newfoundland
(2020-12-16)
Adaptive divergence is an important force structuring wild populations and directly
influencing species persistence and stability. Wild Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) have
declined across their native range in recent ...
Topological Optimization of the CubeSat Frame Using the Finite Element Method
(2020-10-29)
The material selection, design, manufacturing method, and in-service environmental conditions, such as temperature and vibration, are all critical factors in the design of a CubeSat nano-satellite. Furthermore, as weight ...
Drawing from the Past: The Role of Architecture and Art in Embodying the Everyday Lives of People and Places
(2020-04-23)
This thesis focuses on the analysis and interpretation of realist painter, Alex Colville and the relation of techniques used in architecture and art for representing and emobodying the everyday lives of people and places. ...
Some Aspects of the Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry of Dipyrrins
(2020-08-05)
Oligopyrroles and their complexes with metals and metalloids are often intensely coloured, and as such, are well-studied as dyes and components of organic light-harvesting systems. Of particular interest in this thesis are ...
Network Reliability, Simplicial Complexes, and Polynomial Roots
(2020-04-02)
Assume that the vertices of a graph G are always operational, but the edges of G fail independently with probability q ∈ [0, 1]. The all-terminal reliability of G is the probability that the resulting subgraph is connected. ...
PROBABILISTIC METHODS FOR ASSESSING RELIABILITY OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT VOLUME ESTIMATES
(2020-12-10)
Sampling requirements for the quality control of environmental sediment contamination characterization are not currently explicit. The effect of sample size on the accuracy of estimated volume and variability of contaminated ...
Adapting drinking water treatment strategies to changing source water quality under the stress of climate impacts
(2020-08-20)
Over the last few decades, noticeable chemical and microbiological changes in water quality have been observed in Atlantic Canada lakes as a result of recovery from acidification and climatic drivers. This has multiple ...
Development and Validation of a Pediatric Insomnia Composite
(2020-08-17)
Insomnia affects approximately 20-30% of children with consequences on daytime functioning, academic performance, social functioning, and quality of life. Insomnia is a multifaceted construct with symptoms including ...
