Contributing to the multi-stakeholder policy evaluation: Evaluating environmental assessments performed for infrastructure projects on the Oak Ridges moraine
(2010-10-29)Infrastructure projects on the Oak Ridges Moraine have become an issue of interest for their role in facilitating further development in an area of environmental sensitivity. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a glacial landform, ... -
CONTRIBUTION OF A SPERM PROTEIN, PAWP, TO THE SIGNAL TRANSDUCT PATHWAY DURING VERTEBRATE FERTILIZATION
(2008-01-17)PAWP, postacrosomal sheath WW domain binding protein, is a novel sperm protein identified as a candidate sperm borne, oocyte-activating factor (SOAF). PAWP induces both early and later egg activation events including meiotic ... -
Contribution of catecholamines to visual working memory in the macaque monkey
(2012-05-31)Working memory is the ability to store relevant information temporarily to guide future thought and behavior. It is a basic cognitive function instrumental to processes such as learning, reasoning, comprehension and mental ... -
The Contribution of Geomechanics and Engineering Geology to Mine Enterprise Value
(2011-11-08)The objective of this thesis is to identify the value of geomechanics and engineering geology to mine enterprise value for hardrock underground mines. It was decided that the most effective way to highlight the value of ... -
Contribution of Opioid and Stress Systems to Impulsive Action in Rodent Models
(2015-01-12)Impulsive action, the inability to withhold responding, is a primary symptom of many psychiatric disorders, including drug addiction. Impulsive action is mediated through a complex interplay of many different neurotransmitters. ... -
The Contribution of Structured Activity and Deliberate Play to the Development of Expert Perceptual and Decision-Making Skill
(2016-06-02)The developmental histories of 32 players in the Australian Football League (AFL), independently classified as either expert or less skilled in their perceptual and decision- making skills, were collected through a ... -

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORY, DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF MICROWAVE BANDPASS FILTERS
(2010-04-14)Bandpass microwave filters are often modeled as a set of coupled discrete and localized resonators. This model is adequate in the narrow-band case. It, however, fails to describe accurately compact structures where stray ... -
Control of a Nonlinear Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for Regeneration Using Digital Signal Processing
(2014-08-18)Transmission impairments degrade the quality of optical signals and limit the transmission reach. Phase modulated signals are susceptible to both amplitude and phase noises. Optical regenerators based on nonlinear Mach ... -
CONTROL OF A PNEUMATIC SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE NEURAL NETWORK COMPENSATION
(2010-10-07)Considerable research has been conducted on the control of pneumatic systems due to their potential as a low-cost, clean, high power-to-weight ratio actuators. However, nonlinearities such as those due to compressibility ... -
Control of a Single-Phase Grid-Connected Voltage Source Inverter with LCL Filter
(2013-10-02)This thesis presents new control approaches for improving the performance, stability, and efficiency of a single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter (VSI) with an LCL filter that is used in renewable energy power ... -
Control of Cytochrome c Oxidase Biosynthesis in the Thermal Remodeling of White Muscle of Two Cyprinid Minnows
(2010-08-17)Many fish species respond to cold temperatures by inducing mitochondrial biogenesis, reflected in an increase in the activity of the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase (COX). COX is composed of 13 subunits, 3 encoded ... -
Control of Dual-User Teleoperation Systems Design, Stability Analysis, and Performance Evaluation
(2010-11-23)Teleoperation systems broaden human ability to perform a task in a real or virtual, local or remote environment. An emerging application of such systems is in dual-user teleoperation or haptic simulation systems in which ... -
The control of speech motor targets
(2013-10-01)Studies of speech production and its control have traditionally focused on acoustic parameters and/or articulatory configurations of the end result of the production process as the target of speech production. The ... -
Control System Design for Networked Telerobotic Systems
(2014-07-09)Telerobotic systems are designed to extend the manipulation capability of users at different scales to remote and dangerous environments. In the past decade, the availability of higher computational power, larger variety ... -
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 ... -
Controllability of Underactuated Coupled Parabolic Systems
This thesis studies the null controllability of a system of coupled parabolic PDEs. Moreover, our work specializes to an important subclass of these control problems, where systems are underactuated and are coupled by first ...
