Online loss minimization based direct torque and flux control of IPMSM drive
(2015-10-21)With the advent of high energy rare earth magnetic material such as, third generation neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is becoming more and more popular in high power industrial ... -
Online sequential learning with non-iterative strategy for feature extraction, classification and data augmentation
(2020)Network aims to optimize for minimizing the cost function and provide better performance. This experimental optimization procedure is widely recognized as gradient descent, which is a form of iterative learning that starts ... -
Ontario elementary school teachers perceptions' of the daily physical activity policy
(2010)The purpose of this study is to explore Ontario elementary school teachers’ perceptions of the Daily Physical Activity (DPA) policy. The DPA policy was developed to help combat the increasing levels of inactivity and ... -
Ontario youth mental health literacy and social determinants
(2024)Mental health literacy includes: recognizing mental health problems and illnesses; knowing how to locate accurate mental health information and professional help; risk factors and causes of mental health problems or ... -
Ontology development for drug-disease knowledge management
(2013-02-03)Traditionally, physicians rely on medical knowledge learned or acquired through practice to make a correct decision in diagnosis of diseases and affected medications. Progress in knowledge base systems and related Information ... -
Ontology-based modelling of stroke clinical pathways
(2020)Healthcare spending in Canada is on the rise. One method to reduce healthcare spending is to reduce length of stay (LOS). Clinical Pathways (CPs) are one recommended management technique to reduce LOS. CPs are implementations ... -
Open Access Publishing in the Social Sciences and Humanities in Canada
(2016)The publishing practices of scientists and academics have profound effects on the way that science and academia internally progress and influence external public debates. The culmination of empirical, theoretical, and ... -
Opportunities for character development in multi-cultural settings
(2018)This dissertation explores character development opportunities in for first-generation Nepali immigrant students, as exemplified in Ontario public school classrooms. The theoretical framework for this dissertation is derived ... -
Optimal and global autonomous navigation in environments with convex obstacles
(2025)Motion planning for autonomous navigation in unknown environments cluttered with obstacles is a fundamental challenge in robotics, requiring efficient, safe, and reliable strategies for path planning. This thesis introduces ... -
Optimization of hospital emergency department
(2021)This thesis is centered around the topic of emergency department(ED) optimization. Working in conjunction with the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre a simulation model was developed to determine an optimal ... -
Optimization of Software Transactional Memory through Linear Regression and Decision Tree
(2015)Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a promising paradigm that facilitates programming for shared memory multiprocessors. In STM programs, synchronization of accesses to the shared memory locations is fully handled by ... -
Optimization of tall buildings subjected to wind load using genetic algorithm and image-based machine learning
(2025)As the prevalence of tall buildings are on an upward trend in urban cities, the need to navigate their design intricacies becomes increasingly important. Tall buildings exhibit dynamic and nonlinear responses to applied ... -
Optimization of the process for sol-gel derived ZnO:Al thin films for transparent conducting oxide applications
(2021)Transparent and conducting Al-doped ZnO thin films with c-axis-preferred orientation were prepared on glass substrate via sol-gel route. The physical, optical and electrical properties were investigated to determine an ... -
Optimum switch sizing for class DE amplifier
(2018)Recently, integrated class DE ampli fiers without matching networks have been proposed as a compact solution to drive a multi-element piezoelectric ultrasound transducer array for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ... -
Oral contraceptives and emotional memory
(2015)Previous research has suggested that oral contraceptive (OC) use is associated with altered memory for an emotional story. The current study further examined the extent to which OCs influence emotional memory by examining ... -
Order book curvature as a liquidity measure: evidence on high- frequency volatility in crude oil futures
(2025)This thesis proposes the limit order book (LOB) curvature as a new measure of liquidity. Using high-frequency data on crude oil futures traded on the CME, curvature is estimated from a power-law relation between normalized ... -
Ordered supramolecular oligothiophene structures on passivated silicon surfaces
(2014)The adsorption of brominated tetrathienoanthracene molecules (TBTTA) onto the Si(111) 3-Ag surface has been studied. The molecules were absorbed at room temperature and annealed up to 400C. One monolayer of Ag was used to ... -
Organic semiconductors containing multi-heteroatom rings
(2018)Oligomers of thiophene are ubiquitous in molecular materials research. Other ring systems, especially those lacking at least C2v symmetry are much less common. We investigated thiophene-thiazole, pyrrole-thiazole, ... -
An ostensible exercise in modernity: law, religious intervention, and social science in the case of Bedford vs. Canada
(2014-01-22)Drawing on Adele Clarke’s (2005) method of situational analysis as well insights from the social construction of social problems approach (Spector and Kitsuse 1977; Best 2008), symbolic interactionism (Prus 1999) and ... -
The ovulatory shift: proceptive and receptive mating behaviours across the menstrual cycle
(2015-08-05)Research has suggested an ovulatory shift whereby women become more oriented towards short-term mating around the time of ovulation. Other research suggests that women’s cyclical shifts depend on their sociosexuality and ...
