Control Techniques for a Single-Phase Bi-Directional Full-Bridge Active Rectifier for Vehicle-to-Grid and Grid-to-Vehicle Applications
(2014-07-04)As electric vehicles (EV) continue to gain market traction, more research is being conducted in the control of the power conditioning system. This thesis focuses on control strategies for the front-end AC/DC converter. ... -
Controllability and motion algorithms for underactuated Lagrangian systems on Lie groups
(IEEE, 2000)In this paper, we provide controllability tests and motion control algorithms for underactuated mechanical control systems on Lie groups with Lagrangian equal to kinetic energy. Examples include satellite and underwater ... -
Controllability of a hovercraft model (and two general results)
(2003)Modelling and controllability studies of a hovercraft system are undertaken. The system studied is a little more complicated than some in the literature in that the inertial dynamics of the thrust fan are taken into ... -
Controllable kinematic reductions for mechanical systems: concepts, computational tools, and examples
(2001)This paper introduces the novel notion of kinematic reductions for mechanical systems and studies their controllability properties. We focus on the class of simple mechanical control systems with constraints and model ... -
Controlled fiber laser bone ablation using inline coherent imaging
(2015-10-01)Laser material processing is becoming increasingly popular in various disciplines of science and industry due to its clean and quiet operation, absence of tool wear and high positioning accuracy. In particular, laser ... -
Controlled Radical Polymerization in the Dispersed Phase
(2010-12-07)Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) has emerged as a powerful method of creating polymers with tailored molecular architectures under mild reaction conditions. However, production of these polymers efficiently at an ... -
Controlled Radical Polymerization: Towards Industrially Relevant Conditions
(2015-10-03)Reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), also known as controlled radical polymerization (CRP), has been a significant area of polymer research for more than 20 years, allowing the facile synthesis of complex ... -
CONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF STIMULI-RESPONSIVE NETWORK ALGINATE
(2009-07-20)Stimuli-responsive hydrogels swell or contract in response to external pH, ionic strength or temperature, and are of considerable interest as pharmaceutical controlled release devices. Alginate, a linear polysaccharide ... -
Controls on lithofacies variability in Late Devonian, Cynthia Basin reefs, Nisku Formation, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin
(2012-05-11)The Late Devonian (Frasnian) Nisku Formation in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin is a homoclinal ramp composed of four stacked carbonate cycles with reefs in both shallow-ramp and downslope settings. Nisku Formation ... -
Controls on Seasonal Nitrogen Cycling in Canadian Low Arctic Tundra Ecosystems
(2009-09-27)Soil nitrogen availability to plants is a fundamental control on the structure and functioning of arctic tundra ecosystems. Despite recent evidence that biogeochemical and microbial dynamics during the non-growing season ... -
Controversy between Dr. Ryerson, chief superintendent of education in Upper Canada, and Rev. J. M. Bruyere, rector of St. Michael's cathedral, Toronto, on the appropriation of the Clergy reserves funds; free schools vs. state schools; public libraries and common schools, attached and defended.

Convective Heat Transfer from a Recessed Window Covered By a Top Down – Bottom Up Single-Layer Honeycomb Blind
(2015-06-22)Honeycomb (or cellular) Top Down–Bottom Up blinds are quite widely available. When this type of blind is closed there are two or more vertical blind portions and a series of horizontal or near-horizontal blind portions ... -
A Convenient Synthesis of Pyrrolnitrin and Related Halogenated Phenylpyrroles
(2009-10-07)This thesis details a straightforward synthetic route to the antifungal compound pyrrolnitrin 1.2, along with several analogous halogenated phenylpyrroles. The proposed synthetic protocol involved the Suzuki-Miyaura ... -

Convicts and Human Rights: A Comparative Study on Prison Treatment in Europe and Canada
(2011-09-01)Prisoners are among the most vulnerable categories of citizens in every country, due to the large amount of control the state has over them. Enforcing Human Rights Law is a challenge in all areas that it covers. However, ... -
COOL BY MY OWN STANDARDS: THE ESSENCE OF THE EXPANSION OF THE STANDARD OF HUMANNESS THROUGH THE REINTERPRETATION OF NORMATIVITY
(2016-01-11)In 1993, Maxine Greene issued a call to expand the standard of humanness and to look beyond normative culture in the hopes of moving toward a greater inclusivity of diversity in schools. Current Canadian curriculum theory ... -
Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks: Spectrum Acquisition and Co-Channel Interference Effect
(2013-02-05)Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) allows Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) to locate vacant spectrum channels and to protect active Primary Users (PUs). However, the achieved detection accuracy is proportional to the ...
