Proof of concept data logger for non-active power
This dissertation discusses a metering concept design that is based on equipment cheaper and smaller than a laptop which is able to meet the requirements of power measurements, such as those for non-active power, that need relatively high frequency, simultaneous sampling. An Analog Devices ADE7878 …

IoT Voice, Gesture & Application Control System: Proof of Concept Implementation
<p>Internet of Things (IoT) technology is an ever-growing field in today’s day and age. IoT enables the connection of several devices to a network, enabling data to be retrieved from the network without direct human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The education system can take advantage …

A Dy:YAG coated fiber optic thermal sensor - proof of concept
The goal of the research was to develop a non-intrusive optical thermal sensor that could withstand the high temperature, reacting flow environment of operational turbines. A fiber optic thermal sensing design was chosen because of two main attributes, one was the remote/non-intrusive sensing and …

Bayesian Adaptive Designs For Proof-of-Concept Trials and Platform Trials
… different objectives for different types of trials. This research mainly focuses on Bayesian adaptive designs for phase II trials. Three types of trials are discussed in which traditional designs may encounter limitations, and three novel designs have been proposed to resolve these issues. …

Projecting fertility by educational attainment: proof of concept of a new approach
… implementation. Despite a substantial body of literature that suggests education has a significant impact on fertility, these projections do not incorporate changes in the composition of the population by level of education. We therefore propose and implement a method that incorporates …

PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR A SYSTEMS ENGINEERING CONFIDENCE TRACKING TOOL FOR REQUIREMENTS REALIZATION
… requirements realization, was developed in Microsoft Excel and applied to an energy-related R&D project that was completed in October 2015. To achieve the primary objective, an analytical search for key SE activities was performed on interview data about the 2015 project. The search was conducted …

In Vivo Genome Editing: Proof of Concept in Neonatal and Adult Mouse Liver
… including hemophilia. Major limitations of this approach are the inability to persist in dividing cells and the restrictive packaging capacity of AAV. Gene targeting, the ability to make site-directed changes to the genome, has been a powerful tool for genetic discovery. Until recently, …

Nucleic Acid Scaffold-dependent Proximity-mediated Enzyme Response (NASPER) - A Proof of Concept Study
… hTERT RNA is overexpressed in around 90% of all cancers but targeting it has been unsuccessful to date due to the inability of this approach to kill telomerase-expressing cells leading to the evolution of telomerase-independent cells. The approach proposed in the thesis (NASPER), aims to …

Exploring the Impact of Psychotropic Medications on the Temporal Patterns of Behaviour: A Proof of Concept
On average, 60% of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities exhibit challenging behaviours (CB). Management of CB typically involves psychopharmacological and behavioural interventions, used either independently or in combination. Despite limited evidence supporting the …

A PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR DETECTION OF PALATO-LINGUAL CONTACT WITHOUT INTRAORAL ELECTRODES IN A HUMAN PARTICIPANT
<p>The author of this thesis conceived and investigated an unexpected electrical signal that may not be noticed during regular electroglottography (EGG) when electrodes are conventionally placed on the anterior surface of the throat. It appears that there is a measurable electrical signal from the …
