The purpose of this paper is to assess the state of ethics training in mining engineering education in Canada. The paper takes into account the context in which mining engineers operate, especially international projects ...

In this thesis digital control techniques for two receiver front-end components i.e. the downconverter mixer and the modulator are presented. With decrease in size of CMOS-based geometries, decrease in performance and yield ...

In this thesis, three techniques are proposed to enhance the transient performance of voltage regulators (VR) for computer applications. Voltage mode control with load line positioning and phase current balancing technique ...

In my thesis I argue for the use of system designs that: a) open access to a variety of users and allow for collaboration and idea exchange, while at the same time, b) are designed to motivate and engage users. To exemplify ...

In the structural engineering community, a need exists for a non-contact two-dimensional measurement system which could provide information for field monitoring and greatly enhance the accuracy of numerical structural ...

Digital microfluidics (DMF) is an emerging liquid-handling technique that facilitates manipulation of discrete droplets across an array of electrodes. Although the working principle of droplet movement is still under debate, ...

In this thesis, three radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) were digitally assisted for varying signal power, frequency or both. Performance paramters were 'optimized' in the sense of obtaining the best performance ...

This project aims to digitize the slide collections of prominent geographers and historians and make them publically available as primary research material for other researchers and for our own themed on-line exhibits. In ...

Research has consistently shown an association between the personality trait of perfectionism and a variety of emotional, psychological, and interpersonal difficulties. Using a longitudinal design, the present investigation ...

This project analyzes contemporary black diasporic writing in Canada, arguing that Dionne Brand, Austin Clarke and Tessa McWatt evince a unique form of double-consciousness in their writings. Their work transforms ...
