AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF PRESSURE ON THE FORMATION OF CHROMITE DEPOSITS
(2022-06-13)
Despite extensive research on the Bushveld Complex chromitites, the mechanism(s)
that form such anomalous chromite segregations remains uncertain. Recent work
applying the MELTS thermodynamic model proposed that reduction ...
Characterization and evaluation of potential contaminants of concern in small craft harbour sediments in Nova Scotia
(2022-04-08)
Small craft harbours (SCHs) are vital for the fishing industry, but can be impacted by contamination in marine sediments. This study characterized the distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) and polychlorinated ...
Long-Range Gravity-Aided Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation
(2022-04-12)
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are a mobile platform for underwater sensing, an environment relatively unexplored. Georeferencing measurements is difficult due to the challenge of AUV localization. The rapid attenuation ...
Mitigating the Impact of Ocean Ambient Noise in an Underwater Acoustic Communication System
(2022-04-05)
In wireless communication links, receivers are typically designed to mitigate the variability in the propagation channel in presence of arbitrary white Gaussian noise. However, the variations in the instantaneous channel ...
USING ENSEMBLE CLUSTERING TO IDENTIFY PHENOTYPES OF DIABETES PATIENTS FOR EVALUATING DISEASE PROGRESSION
(2022-04-05)
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic health condition that affects multiple organs and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The management of diabetes requires periodic pathology investigations and physician ...
Impacts of farming systems on landscape heterogeneity in Southern Saskatchewan cropland
(2022-04-13)
Organic farms have been recognized to have higher biodiversity than conventional farms, but it is unclear if organic farms are conserving more perennial habitat in their fields than conventional farms under large scale ...
Thermal Contributions to Relative Free Energies of Allotropes and Polymorphs From Density-Functional Theory
(2022-04-14)
Relative stabilities of two or more crystalline phases, such as allotropes or polymorphs,
can be predicted theoretically using density-functional theory (DFT). Understanding the
stability landscape of a given system has ...
Navigating Irregularity: The State, Immigration Bureaucracy, and Surveillance in Chile
(2022-04-06)
The focus of this thesis is the political space of migrant irregularity in Chile, specifically the development and maintenance of this political space by the Chilean state and its bureaucracy, as well as the resilience and ...
Fractal: Refaçading the Suburb for the Modern Family through Modularity
(2022-04-13)
Canadian cities and suburbs are littered with single-family residential housing that fails
to meet the needs of modern families. The current housing model does not adequately
support intergenerational living, user ...
Collage of the Senses: Healing Devices for Transitional Pediatric Care in Calgary, Alberta
(2022-04-11)
The current approach to pediatric healthcare design throughout North America produces three care scales: hospitals, clinics, and home care services. These forms of healthcare architecture often fail to create spaces that ...
