Polymelem possesses a polymeric structure of heptazine (C6N 7) rings connected by amine bridges and our study has demonstrated that it is a promising precursor for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing carbon materials. Nitrogen-containing carbon nanotube (NCNT) was produced by p…
Linear elastic theory is the most widely used theory to be applied to wellbore stability analysis for its simplicity and convenience. It assumes that rocks behave as a linear elastic material and ignores the pore pressure effect, what is not in agreement with the mechanical prop…
Microcantilever based sensors have been under intense research focus for more than a decade due several advantages including high sensitivity, quick response, low cost, and ability to be miniaturized in small module. The microcantilever surface is usually functionalized (coated …
Low back pain is a major health condition that effects every population worldwide. It can lead to diminished physical function, decreased quality of life, and psychological distress. Although low back pain is a multifactorial condition, disc degeneration disease has been indicat…
The present research focused on the assessment of solder joint fatigue life in microelectronics assemblies. A general concern of any reliability engineer is whether accelerated tests are relevant to field conditions. The risk of this was minimized by developing an approach to re…
Is there any similarity between the contexts of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran, and can this be proven mathematically? The purpose of this research is using the Bible and the Quran as our corpus, we explore the performance of various feature extraction and machine learning te…
In this thesis, experimental results and their analysis are presented on the phase transformations of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) under two different treatments. First, MCC was subjected to ball milling in air for different times tBMi = 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 120 minutes…
Harmonics are always present in electrical power systems. Harmonic distortion is harmless as long as its level is within the limit. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics, i.e. non linear loads, the use of the variable speed drives are increasing day by …
In this work, we propose a model to address the challenge of droop in internal quantum efficiency in InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Well LEDs. Efficiency droop limits the performance of high brightness LEDs as they operate at currents greater than 350mA. The efficiency droop is a mu…
Prediction models based on different concepts have been proposed in recent years. Improving the accuracy of prediction models has remained as a challenging task for researchers. In the development of time series analysis, it is well known that many phenomena are non-linear and h…
Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition address one of the major flow assurance concerns for oil industries. Modeling of the properties of crude oil systems requires tuning of an appropriate equation of state to the crude oil properties and phase behavior. The experim…
Many vascular system problems stem from insufficient blood return flow to the heart. One of the main causes is a blockage within veins or arteries known as a blood clot, or thrombus. This can occur after trauma, surgery, or other phenomenological reasons. Each year in the U.S. m…
The Light Armoured Vehicle III (LAV III) is Canada's front line Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). The Mobile Repair Team (MRT) vehicle that is used to provide maintenance support to the LAV III fleet is the Bison, a Generation II armoured vehicle that was brought into service alm…
The goals of this study were: (1) to identify the conditions for egg white protein (EWP) film making through extrusion and calendering processes for industry adaptation, and (2) to investigate the current possibilities of the EWP film as a food packaging material by inquiring in…
Particle adhesion to the vasculature depends critically upon particle/cell properties (size, receptors), scale/geometric features of vasculature (diameter, bifurcation, etc.) and local hemodynamic factors (stress, torque, etc.) Current investigations using in vitro parallel-plat…
Incomplete knowledge flow between architects and mechanical/electrical engineers engenders large expense and untimely delivery of building projects. It is essential to consider mechanical/electrical requirements from the early stages of design; and many experienced architects ac…
The objective of this work is to research and develop new methods for multiscale modeling and simulation of the dynamic behavior of complex multiscale processes using multibody simulation methods. Many example applications may be found in the modeling of macro-biomolecular syste…
Intent understanding is the problem of recognizing people's goals by passively observing them perform some activities and predicting their future actions. In this thesis, we designed and implemented an efficient intent recognition system with real-time capabilities for two diffe…
