Development of a metabolic calorimeter system to measure heat production of domestic avian embryos during incubation
Download2006
Feddes, John J. R., Segura, J. C., Ouellette, C. A., Zuidhof, Martins J., Fasenko, Gaylene M.
A metabolic calorimeter system was developed to facilitate collection of metabolic data from 24 embryos within an incubator. The system was designed to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2 ), oxygen, and water vapour over a 2.5-minute period every hour from each metabolic chamber during both the...

Development Of A Model-Free Adaptive Steering Control For Autonomous Vehicles Path Tracking Using Cost-Based Gain Adaptation With Integral Action
Download2022-06-01
This paper presents a model-free adaptive steering control algorithm for path tracking of autonomous vehicles. To design steering controllers for autonomous vehicle path tracking, a mathematical model is needed, but it may have high nonlinearity and complexity that increases computation time and...

Development of a multi-functional HVAC facility for the evaluation of air cleaning technologies and ventilation performance
Download2022-06-01
Wu, Jing, Luo, Hao, Zhong, Lexuan
Adequate ventilation with an effective airflow pattern and the air handling unit equipped with air purifier devices are common contaminant control methods for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Air cleaner purification performance, ventilation modes, and contaminant...

Development of a porcine (Sus scofus) embryo-specific microarray: Annotation and validation
Download2012
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Pasternak, J. Alexander, Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Nieminen, Julie, Tsoi, Stephen, Rigault, Philippe, Sirard, Marc-André, Robert, Claude, Grant, Jason R.
Background The domestic pig is an important livestock species and there is strong interest in the factors that affect the development of viable embryos and offspring in this species. A limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in early embryonic development has inhibited our...

Historically, most investigations of biogeochemical cycling in acid rock drainage systems involved synoptic sampling over longer time periods (one sample per week or month) or intensive time series studies over a few hours or days. However, many important episodic loading events, such as seasonal...

Development of a Robotic Device for Facilitating Learning by Children who have Severe Disabilities
Download2011-12-13
Howery, K., Meng, M.Q.H., Cook, A.M., Gu, J.J.
This paper presents technical aspects of a robot manipulator developed to facilitate learning by young children who are generally unable to grasp objects or speak. The severity of these physical disabilities also limits assessment of their cognitive and language skills and abilities. The CRS...

Heo, Giseon, Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Carey, Jason P., Romanyk, Dan R., Toogood, Roger W., Fathimani, Maryam
Background The primary objective of this study was to develop a computer-controlled three-dimensional friction measuring system, the orthodontic friction simulator (OFS). A clinically-based in vitro experiment considering wet and dry friction for conventionally and self-ligated brackets is...

Ahmed, E., Henein, H., Qureshi, A., Liu, J.
Downhole tools made of dissolvable alloys (DAs) are getting more attractive, especially with the difficulties that arise from drilling wellbores with longer lateral distances. To date, most of the DAs are based on Al alloys (AAs) or Mg alloys, which offer undesirable mechanical properties. This...
