M-Theory Solutions and Intersecting D-Brane Systems
(2013-01-22)It is believed that fundamental M-theory in the low-energy limit can be described effectively by D=11 supergravity. Extending our understanding of the different classical brane solutions in M-theory (or string theory) ... -
Machine Learning for the Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2019-10-18)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder. It refers to a wide range of behavioral and social abnormality and causes problems with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. ... -
Machine Learning in Population Health: Frequent Emergency Department Utilization Pattern Identification and Prediction
(2021-09-20)Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding is an emerging risk to patient safety and may significantly affect chronically ill people. For instance, overcrowding in an ED may cause delays in patient transportation or revenue ... -
Machine Learning-Incorporated Transient Stability Prediction and Preventive Dispatch for Power Systems with High Wind Power Penetration
(2021-07-05)Historically, transient instability has been the most severe stability challenge for most systems. Transient stability prediction and preventive dispatch are two important measures against instability. The former measure ... -
Machine vision classification of pistachio nuts using pattern recognition and neural networks
(1996-01-01)Machine vision-based sorting of agricultural commodities is an alternative to the conventional mechanical and electro-optical sorting methods. This method offers high-speed, multi-category classification by processing ... -
Machinery evaluation in a case-control study of farm machinery injuries in the prairie region of Canada
(2003)Injury rates among farmers are one of the highest in all occupations. Farm machinery accounts for a majority of these injuries. In order to reduce these injuries, the root causes of the injury events need to be found. The ... -
Macoun and the Great North-West
(1976-09)This thesis deals with the development, expression and significance of Professor John Macoun's endorsement of Western Canada's potential for large scale agricultural settlement. The study of the question first focuses ... -
MACRM: A Multi-agent Cluster Resource Management System
(2016-05-16)The falling cost of cluster computing has significantly increased its use in the last decade. As a result, the number of users, the size of clusters, and the diversity of jobs that are submitted to clusters have grown. ... -
Macro and micronutrient content of foods served to 3-5-year-old children before and after pulse intervention and factors influencing the sustainability of pulse-based foods in Saskatoon childcare centres
(2019-07-31)This study examined pre and post-intervention macro- and micronutrient content of regular and pulse-based intervention meals served to 3-5-year old (yo) children at four Saskatoon childcare centres (CCs); and factors, which ... -
Macro-Level Collision and Crime Analysis: Case Study for the City of Regina
(2017-04-20)Traffic collisions and crimes are issues of concern in most neighbourhoods and cities and they are certainly a concern for the City of Regina. The traditional approach to either preventing or reducing the severity of ... -
Macrophage cytokines as correlate of differential resistance to African trypanosomiasis
(1999-01-01)BALB/c mice are susceptible to 'T. congolense' infection as they succumb within 8.4 ± 0.5 days while C57Bl/6 mice are relatively resistant as they survive up to 163 ± 12 days. Evidence suggests that macrophages play a ... -
Macrotextual analysis of nutrition messages from selected broadcasts on Canadian prime time television
(1997-01-01)This study was designed to identify and describe major recurrent themes in food related messages and body image attitudes (BIA) broadcast on Canadian network prime time television commercials and fictional programs. ... -
MADS-box protein interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana
(1998)Arabidopsis thaliana, a member of the Cruciferae family, is widely used as a model system of plant development. In this study the structure - function relationships between AG and AGL2 (AGAMOUS Like) and AG and AGL4 were ... -
The magic window : balancing privacy and awareness in office settings
(2007-01-06)Co-workers who are physically distributed in the same building often obtain information about others through the windows in office doors. Using the information gathered by looking through the window, they can determine ... -
Magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of the Hoidas Lake REE deposit, northern Saskatchewan, Canada
(2015-06-24)The Hoidas Lake rare earth element (REE) deposit in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, was investigated through field observations, detailed petrographic studies, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive ... -
Magnetic Compression of Compact Tori, Experiment and Simulation
(2019-09-16)The magnetic compression experiment at General Fusion was a repetitive non-destructive test to study plasma physics applicable to magnetic target fusion compression. A compact torus (CT) is formed with a co-axial gun into ... -
