Permeable boundaries: exploring the architecture of the psyche in cinematic spaces through collage
… Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999), Mr. Robot (Sam Esmail, 2015-2019) and Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019). The acutely intimate discernment of each protagonist’s interior environment is the result of varying forms of psychological disruption, where boundaries break down between the real and imaginary, …

Understanding the Relationship Between Health Technology Reassessment and Knowledge Translation
Until now, it was not well understood how the field of Knowledge Translation (KT) would be applicable to Health Technology Reassessment (HTR). This thesis reports on three studies to determine how KT approaches are used to translate HTR outputs to achieve the desired outcomes. The first study was a …

Mathematical Scaling and Statistical Modeling of Geopressured Geothermal Reservoirs
<p>The interest for developing geopressured-geothermal reservoirs along the US Gulf Coast is increasing for securing energy needs and reducing global warming. Identifying the most attractive candidate reservoirs for geothermal energy production requires quick and simple models. Analytical models …

Newer and novel sputum versus non-sputum-based tools for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in different patient sub-populations
Background Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) has a spectrum of presentation ranging from sub clinical/minimally symptomatic disease on one end, usually in community-based patients, to overt symptomatic TB with hospitalisation on the severe end of the spectrum. This spectrum of sub-clinical and clinical …

Estimation of Shadow-Rate Term Structure Models Near the Zero-Lower Bound
Though it is customary to use standard Gaussian term structure models for term structure modelling, this becomes theoretically implausible in cases when nominal interest rates are near zero: Gaussian models can have arbitrarily large negative rates, whereas arbitrage considerations dictate that …

Towards improving the Statscan X-ray image quality through sliding mode control of the C-arm
This dissertation investigates methods for improving the image quality of a digital radiography system. The Lodox Statscan™ X-ray system provides a full-body scanned image for initial diagnosis. The system is driven by a permanent magnet linear motor (PMLM) controlled by a cascaded …

Optimal design of decentralized large-scale systems with low sensitivity to non-linearity
The optimal design of complex systems with low sensitivity to nonlinear subsystems is an important problem in engineering and science. When talking about non-linearity, linearization of non-linear control systems is an important technique used in control engineering to analyze the behavior of …

A pH Switchable Responsive Surface for the Trapping And Release of a Hydrophobic Substance
<p>Solid phase extraction is one of the most widely used techniques to trap and release compounds in a solution. A hydrophobic substance will stick efficiently to a hydrophobic surface (the “like dissolves like” principle). With an introduced response (i.e. pH change), a responsive surface can …

A Collection of Prose
<p>This collection of prose is a representation of my work in the program. It explores the various styles of fictional storytelling, exploring themes of connecting with oneself and others and what it means to be seen in the world. The flash fiction pieces invite readers to embark on a journey of …

The morphological, flow and failure characteristics of fractionated natural bulk material. Evaluation of flowability of fractionated powdered liquorice using a specially designed flowmeter. The particle morphology was assessed by computer image analysis and the failure properties by shear cell testing.
With the technological development in biologically orientated industries more and more natural products in powdered form are being handled and processed. Three differently comminuted liquorice rhizome products were classified into 23 narrow size fractions to investigate the particle and bulk …

Charge dynamics in superconducting double dots
The work presented in this thesis investigates transitions between quantum states in superconducting double dots (SDDs), a nanoscale device consisting of two aluminium superconducting islands coupled together by a Josephson junction, with each dot connected to a normal state lead. The energy …

Cannabis sativa : an optimization study for ROI
Despite hemp's multifarious uses in over 30 countries ranging from the manufacture of paper to specialty textiles, construction, animal feed, and fuel, its acceptance in the US has been shunned because of its association with marijuana, as a drug. While hemp and marijuana are varieties of Cannabis …

Pattern reconfigurable metamaterial antenna for 5G base station network
Reconfiguration of an antenna’s radiation pattern in a predefined direction is very important for enhancing the performance of communication systems in terms of the quality of service, system security, avoiding interference, and economizing power. Metamaterials, on the other hand, are commonly used …

Uncertainty quantification of unconventional reservoirs using assisted history matching methods
A hallmark of unconventional reservoirs is characterization uncertainty. Assisted History Matching (AHM) methods provide attractive means for uncertainty quantification (UQ), because they yield an ensemble of qualifying models instead of a single candidate. Here we integrate embedded discrete …

Raumakustik - Interaktion visueller und auditiver Wahrnehmungen
The subjective impression of space on people is determined by different elements. Important roles are played by architectural elements such as shape, size, colours, lighting and etc. In addition the acoustics can supplement this determination especially at use some types of the spaces, in which …
