Anishinabeg are not strangers to photography. Like many Indigenous communities in North America and elsewhere, Anishinabeg have a history of being pictured by governments, artists, and researchers working within the confines ...

In this thesis, the neural network, a powerful tool which has demonstrated its ability in many fields, is studied for the indoor localization system and channel prediction system. This thesis first proposes a received ...

The rapid development of Machine-Type-Communication (MTC) has brought big challenges to cellular networks such as super-dense devices and high-shadowing channels which may substantially decrease the spectrum efficiency and ...

Heteromorph ammonites and dinoflagellate cysts from the Upper Cretaceous Northumberland Formation on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada are examined. The collection and preparation of new material has enabled the ...

A high-order macroscopic model for the accurate description of rarefied polyatomic gas flows is introduced based on a simplified kinetic equation. The different energy exchange processes are accounted for with a two term ...

Adverse weather has a direct effect on traffic congestion and the time delay on roads. Weather conditions today are changing rapidly and are more likely to have a severe effect on traffic in the future. Although different ...

This multi-case study examined the experiences of five former students who attended madrasas in Mali between 1980 and 2009. These students were university graduates and worked in Bamako, Mali, at the time of data collection. ...

This thesis explores finite-size effects on the spin-wave excitations of one-dimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems. Specifically, it presents a theoretical study of the scattering function, the physical ...

The use of magnetometers combined with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is an emerging market for commercial and military applications. This study presents the methodology used to magnetically characterize a novel fixed-wing ...

The magnetization damping properties of square permalloy elements were characterized. These 20 nm-thick permalloy squares were deposited by the electron beam evaporation. Time resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect microscopy ...
