A Universal Approximation Theorem for Tychonoff Spaces with Application to Spaces of Probability and Finite Measures
DownloadFall 2022
Universal approximation refers to the property of a collection of functions to approximate continuous functions. Past literature has demonstrated that neural networks are dense in continuous functions on compact subsets of finite-dimensional spaces, and this document extends those findings to...

Fall 2021
Multilevel converters (MLCs) have been widely accepted for decades in various applications, e.g. high-voltage transmission systems, medium-voltage drive systems, distributed generation integrations, low voltage power supply, etc. During the evolution of power electronics equip-ment, a large...

Learning Disabilities and Methodologies of Harm: Indigeneity, Pathologization, and Ambiguity in the Psychological Disciplines
DownloadFall 2020
In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) and the Psychological Foundation of Canada (PFC) issued a joint statement identifying the harms that psychological research and intervention have caused Indigenous communities, while...

Modeling of the Effect of Run-out Table Cooling on the Microstructure of a Thick Walled X70 Skelp
DownloadSpring 2018
This thesis presents work performed to model and measure the effect of run-out table cooling on a thick walled X70 steel. During run-out table cooling, the steel undergoes several phase transformations that will affect its microstructure, and thus, its mechanical properties. To predict the steel...

High-performance variants of plant diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 generated by directed evolution provide insights into structure function
Download2017-09-10
Chen, Guanqun, Vanhercke, Thomas, Chen, Yongyan, Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Niesner, Nathalie, Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Weselake, Randall J., El Tahchy, Anna
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, the predominant component of seed oil. In some oil crops, including Brassica napus, the level of DGAT1 activity can have a substantial effect on triacylglycerol production....

Experimental Response and Analysis Model of an Innovative Pile-To-Pile Mechanical Connector
DownloadFall 2017
Pile-to-pile mechanical connections are used when the depth of the soil layers with sufficient bearing strength exceeds the standard pile length and extensions are needed to reach the deep stable soil. Mechanical connectors permit a safe transmission of forces while meeting strength and...

Fall 2017
Premature corrosion of reinforcing steel is a cause of concern for steel-reinforced concrete structures, since it causes them to deteriorate before their design operational life is attained. The Use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced-concrete (RC) structures has been shown to...

A NEW APPROACH TO MODEL FRICTION LOSSES IN THE WATER-ASSISTED PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION OF HEAVY OIL AND BITUMEN
DownloadSpring 2016
Water lubricated pipe flow technology is an economic alternative for the long distance transportation of viscous oils like heavy oil and bitumen. The lubricated flow regime involves an oil-rich core surrounded by a turbulent water annulus. Energy consumption associated with this type of pipeline...
