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 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-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 ... -
A magnetic pair spectrometer to detect photon splitting
(1994)The subject of this thesis is the calibration, energy resolution and efficiency of a magnetic gamma ray pair spectrometer (PS), investigated using the photon tagger at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory (SAL). This ... -
MAGNETIC RESONANCE ELASTOGRAPHY FOR APPLICATIONS IN RADIATION THERAPY
(2017-09-13)Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an imaging technique that combines mechanical waves and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the elastic properties of tissue. Because MRE is non-invasive, there is great ... -
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF PROXIMAL FEMUR AND SURROUNDING MUSCLES: IN VIVO PRECISION
(2013-09-23)Background: Hip fractures are a major health problem in Canada, and two main contributors to hip fracture are weak bone strength and fall. Weak muscles also negatively affect bone strength and increase the likelihood of ... -
