Integrated Cooperative Localization in VANETs for GPS Denied Environments
(2015-10-07)Accurate and ubiquitous localization is the driving force for location based services in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs). In urban areas, Global Positioning System (GPS) and in-vehicle navigation sensors (e.g. odometers) ... -
Integrated Energy System for a High Performance Building
Integrated energy systems have the potential to reduce of the energy consumption of residential buildings in Canada. These systems incorporate components to meet the building heating, cooling and domestic hot water load ... -
An Integrated Offset Sideband Modulation Receiver
(2015-01-06)A major challenge in designing an integrated optical transceiver is minimizing the crosstalk between the high power laser driver and the sensitive receiver. Offset sideband modulation (OSBM) is used for the downstream ... -
Integrated real-time optimization and model predictive control under parametric uncertainties
(2008-08-14)The actualization of real-time economically optimal process operation requires proper integration of real-time optimization (RTO) and dynamic control. This dissertation addresses the integration problem and provides a ... -
Integrated Visual Odometry For Improved Autonomous Vehicle Navigation
Safe, efficient, and comfortable travel has always been a fundamental human necessity. From reducing commute time to saving lives, autonomous vehicles promise to be an indispensable tool in the age of modern urban ... -
Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning
(2006-06-30)The proliferation of virtual learning environments in every sphere of education, the impact of artificial intelligence, and the worldwide imperative to integrate ICT in teaching and learning processes motivated us to invite ... -
Integrating Petrophysical and Geophysical Data in Forward and Inversion Modelling of Zone 5-8, Raglan Mine, Quebec, Canada
Raglan Mine is located on the Ungava peninsula, Québec, Canada. It’s a Ni-Cu-PGE magmatic sulphide deposit undergoing brownfield exploration. Given the available data from Raglan Mine and the underutilization of geophysical ... -
INTEGRATING PHOSPHOLIPID AND CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE SIGNALING: ROLES OF PHOSPHODIESTERASES AS ENZYMES AND TETHERS
(2011-06-28)Cells of the cardiovascular system translate incoming extracellular signals from hormones and drugs through binding of cell surface receptors, and activation of intracellular signaling cascades allowing modulation of ... -
Integrating the effects of climate change and caribou herbivory on vegetation community structure in low Arctic tundra
(2013-06-07)Arctic tundra vegetation communities are rapidly responding to climate warming with increases in aboveground biomass, particularly in deciduous shrubs. This increased shrub density has the potential to dramatically alter ... -
Integrating theory and experimentation in the study of malaria
(2009-08-25)Malaria poses a serious threat to much of the developing world and an enormous effort is under way to design vaccines and other novel interventions. Nevertheless, we understand very little about the ecology and evolution ... -
Integration of cAMP and Ca2+ signaling pathways: Formation of a PDE1C and TrpC1 containing complex.
(2012-03-26)The phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a “contractile/quiescent” to an “activated/synthetic” phenotype, with increased proliferative and migratory potential, is critical for the formation ... -
Integration of Extremum Seeking and Model Predictive Control for Discrete Time Systems
(2014-07-16)This thesis considers a time-varying extremum seeking control algorithm that adjusts set-points provided to a model predictive controller for a vapour compression system. While perturbation-based extremum seeking methods ... -
THE INTEGRATION OF PHYSICAL ROCK PROPERTIES, MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY FOR THE EXPLORATION OF LARGE HYPOGENE ZINC SILICATE DEPOSITS: A CASE STUDY OF THE VAZANTE ZINC DEPOSITS, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
(2014-03-27)Exploration for large zinc silicate deposits is more challenging than zinc sulfide deposits, as they do not exhibit similar geophysical anomalies. The Vazante deposit, which is the world’s largest zinc silicate deposit, ... -
Integration of Satellite Remote Sensing and Ground-based Measurement for Modelling the Spatiotemporal Distribution of Fine Particulate Matter at a Regional Scale
(2009-11-18)Accurate information on the spatial-temporal distributions of air pollution at a regional scale is crucial for effective air quality control, as well as to impact studies on local climate and public health. The current ... -
Integrative Analysis of Transcriptomic Data Applied to Prostate Cancer Metastasis
(2015-09-10)Prostate cancer is the most common non-dermatological cancer amongst men in the developed world. The disease is manageable if detected early; treatment is thus becoming highly individualized, placing emphasis on detection ... -
