Advanced forecasting algorithms for renewable power systems

Elsaraiti, Meftah (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-14)

Wind and solar power prediction is a challenging but important area of research. The thesis you described explores various statistical models and deep learning methods to improve the accuracy of wind speed and solar radiation ...
Designing power scheduling algorithms for electric vehicles and energy storage systems in bi-directional markets using mixed-integer programming

Ekhteraei Toosi, Hooman (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-05-27)

Optimal battery scheduling for electric vehicles and energy storage systems when cooperating with renewable energy generation in behind-the-meter applications is studied in this thesis in the framework of Mixed-Integer ...
Determination of point proton radii of neutron-rich carbon isotopes

Subramaniyam, Pranav (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-10-20)

Exotic features like the halo and the (dis)appearance of the magic numbers were revealed by investigating the nuclei towards the neutron-rich region that have a large neutron/proton asymmetry. Investigating the evolution ...
Examining species coexistence through the functional trait lens

Heim, Amy (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

Introduction: I investigate several key knowledge gaps and inconsistencies observed in coexistence literature, specifically gaps associated with spatial heterogeneity, functional trait divergence, and the storage ...
Microsporidia-host interactions in beneficial lady beetles : factors that influence chronic disease

Steele, Thomas Jean (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-27)

Lady beetles produce species-specific defensive compounds (alkaloids) that are toxic to some predators and deters others with their foul taste. Some lady beetle alkaloids, such as harmonine from Harmonia axyridis, ...
Physical properties dynamics of oil sands products and their influence on spill response

King, Thomas L. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

If current trends continue, Alberta oil sands production could increase by a million barrels per day in the next decade. Demand would then overwhelm existing domestic transport routes, and one would predict pressure to ...
Toward the development of a novel mineralized collagen scaffold for bone repair and regeneration

Grue, Brendan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)

Due to an increasing demand for more functional bone-repair materials, implants composed of mineralized collagen have garnered interest. The process as to how collagen fibrils become mineralized both in situ and in vitro ...
