Comparative Assessment of a Two-Layered and Multi-Layered Sediment Model
(2011-12-19)Coastal sediments continuously interact with the overlying water column, collecting and decomposing the incoming rain of organic detritus into inorganic nutrients, and consuming oxygen in the process. This thesis compares ... -
EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY OF BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM CAMELINA SATIVA
(2016-08-08)Camelina sativa has recently attracted great interest as an energy crop for biodiesel production in North America. To assess the feasibility of biodiesel production from camelina grown in Nova Scotia, fuel properties of ... -
Illusion SDK: An Augmented Reality Engine for Flash 11
(2012-11-28)This thesis presents Illusion SDK: a general, extensible framework for augmented reality (AR) applications. Illusion provides loosely coupled or decoupled abstractions of sensors, trackers, and compositors. Implementations ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF ANTHOCYANINS FROM NOVA SCOTIAN LOWBUSH BLUEBERRIES (Vaccinium Angustifolium Aiton L.)
(2014-12-16)Ultrasound-assisted extraction of anthocyanin compounds from Nova Scotian lowbush blueberries was measured, modeled and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). A Box-Behnken design was conducted to analyse the ... -
OPTIMIZED ANTHROPOMETRIC MODELLING OF THE FRONT SQUAT
(2013-09-03)The primary purpose of this thesis was to understand the relationship between the variation in athlete segment lengths (trunk, thigh, shank) and front squat depth as represented by maximum thigh segment rotation angle ... -
Path Planning Models for Mobile Anchor-Assisted Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks
(2018-04-02)As event detection is one of the main purposes of using wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the location of nodes is essential to determine the location of an event when it occurs. Many localization models have been proposed ...
