NOVEL MULTILATERAL TELEOPERATION AND COOPERATIVE CONTROL APPROACHES FOR MULTIPLE MANIPULATORS
(2018-12-13)Teleoperation of robotic manipulators has been one of the popular research areas in the robotics research community for last couple of decades. A variety of control methods have been proposed for bilateral and multilateral ... -
NOVEL NON-COHERENT DETECTION METHODS FOR INDOOR FMCW RADIO TRACKING SYSTEMS
(2018-02-08)Indoor localization systems attract great attention from both academia and industry. However, most existing indoor localization technologies have their own limitations. Either they require user to stay within the line-of-sight ... -
A Novel Patient Monitoring Framework and Routing Protocols for Energy & QoS Aware Communication in Body Area Networks
(2013-07-24)Significant challenges to patient monitoring systems in a hospital environment include the reliable and energy-efficient transmission of data and their real-time display. This thesis proposes innovative and novel mechanisms ... -
A novel role for brain-derived adipokines in the etiology of obesity?
(Dalhousie University, 2007) -
A Novel Scalable Key Management Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
(2013-04-08)Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are ad-hoc networks consisting of tiny battery- operated wireless sensors. The sensor nodes are lightweight in terms of memory, computation, energy and communication. These networks are ... -
Novel Statistical Analyses of Longline Survey Data for Improved Indices of Atlantic Halibut Abundance
(2020-12-09)The longline halibut survey is a joint project between the Atlantic Halibut Council (AHC) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). This annual survey is used to monitor the status of Atlantic Halibut on the Scotian Shelf and ... -
NOVEL SUPERCONDUCTOR-BASED LOW-LOSS PLASMONIC WAVEGUIDE
(2018-08-22)In this thesis, a novel plasmonic waveguide, with an insulator-superconductor (SC)-insulator (ISCI) configuration, was proposed and numerically investigated at telecommunication (TC) wavelength range. By optimizing the key ... -
Novel sustained release biodegradable drug delivery system for targeting chronic rhinosinusitis
(2014-08-21)Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a condition in which the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses become inflammed causing facial pressure, pain, headache, nasal obstruction and thick nasal discharge. CRS severely affects ... -
A Novel Theoretical Approach to Model Electronic Excitations in Molecular Crystals
(2021-08-12)Photon-induced electronic excitation of organic chromophores in molecular crystals has received much attention due to potential applications in organic electronics, optics, and biomedicine. Theoretical modeling can aid our ... -
A NOVEL TIME-DOMAIN DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR ECG SIGNAL SYSTEM BASED ON A SMART-PHONE
(2012-08-10)This thesis presents a novel method on a Smart-phone for ECG tele-monitoring signal analysis. The proposed system focuses on QRS complex detection, beat classi?cation and arrhythmias classi?cation. In the regular process, ... -
Novel unconditionally stable finite-difference time-domain method for electromagnetic and microwave modeling.

A Novel Use of Optical Coherence Tomography for the Assessment of Ocular Torsion
(2019-07-30)Abnormal ocular torsion is most frequently the result paresis of the fourth cranial nerve. The presence of torsion can be a barrier to fusion, in which case, surgical intervention is required for a patient to have single ... -
NOz Interference in Measuring NO2 by Molybdenum Oxide Conversion and Chemiluminescence at a coastal site in Nova Scotia, Canada
(2017-08-29)The common method of monitoring NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide) in Canada may be subject to error by interference from other oxides of nitrogen. These other compounds are capable of causing instruments to over-report NO2 concentrations. ... -
NU Healing: Empowering the Margin(alized)
(2015)The correctional system in Nunavut ignores the systemic social dysfunction underlying criminality in the Territory that has been the result of several generations of social and cultural displacement. As a physical manifestation ... -
NUCLEAR CALCIUM DYNAMICS IN HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS
(2016-07-12)Increasing evidence points to neuronal nuclear calcium signalling as a conduit between electrical activity and transcription-dependent changes, and it is possible that different mechanisms of nuclear calcium influx trigger ... -
