Investigating Relationships Between Artificial Sweeteners and Water Quality: Waste Impact Indicators and Disinfection Byproduct Precursors
DownloadFall 2020
Artificial sweeteners (ASs) are highly stable, man-made sugar alternatives used in many low and no-calorie foods and beverages. The massive consumption of ASs by the general population has resulted in their wide occurrence in waste and environmental waters. Wastewater treatment is not designed to...

There is a growing trend of using unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as UAVs, uncrewed aerial vehicles, or drones) to manipulate and interact with their surroundings. The algorithms and tools used are typically unique to the different tasks performed by UAVs; however, the fundamental UAV system...

Fall 2021
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have been employed in a variety of applications, ranging from surveillance to emergency operations. These systems comprise an ”inner loop” that provides stability and control and an ”outer loop” in charge of mission-level tasks, such as way-point...

Experimentally-validated nonlinear flight control of a helicopter UAV has two necessary conditions: an estimate of the vehicle’s states from noisy multirate output measurements, and a nonlinear dynamics model with minimum complexity, physically controllable inputs and experimentally identified...

Role of Caregiver Beliefs About Alzheimer Disease in the Social Creation of Dependency Among Persons With Alzheimer Disease
DownloadFall 2012
It is estimated that over 1.1 million people in Canada will have dementia by 2038 (Alzheimer Society of Canada, 2010). In the caregiving context it is important that independence be maintained for as long as possible. Previous research has shown that caregivers can inadvertently create excess...

Advances in sensor technology and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have created the opportunity for low cost aerial monitoring. As much of this development is not tailored for remote sensing applications, a custom built UAS was used to test the feasibility of inexpensive monitoring over forested...

This thesis aims to develop a motion control strategy for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to execute a pursuit algorithm based on a vision based object detection algorithm. This enables a pursuer UAV to follow a target UAV based on images obtained from the onboard camera of the pursuer. The UAV...

Vision-based algorithms designed to detect and track UAVs from an onboard moving platform have been the focus of active and extensive research over the last decade, and dozens of algorithms have been tested, compared and optimized. However, the existing approaches tend to rely on specific...
