Elder perspectives: leveraging digital tools in language revival initiatives
(2019-12-01)Elders are held in high regard in First Nations, Metis, and Inuit (FNMI) communities. They are the intergenerational transmitters of ancestral language and Indigenous knowledge. Without language revival initiatives, ancestral ... -
Electrical impedance tomography for internal radiation therapy
(2021-08-01)Internal radiation therapy is a radiation-based treatment for various forms of localized cancer. In this treatment, several needles or catheters are inserted percutaneously into the tissue, and radiation is delivered through ... -
Electrochemical analysis of CuCl/HCl electrolyser
(2015-10-01)This thesis presents an electrochemical study on a CuCl/HCl electrolyser which is the hydrogen generation step of the CuCl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle. The anode electrolyte is solution of 2 mol.l−1 CuCl(aq) ... -
Electroforming of personalized miniature metal parts using additively manufactured molds
(2023-12-01)In response to evolving manufacturing trends favoring personalized, small-batch production, this thesis centers on the development of additively manufactured molds to facilitate the electroforming of personalized metal ... -
Electrohydrodynamic enhancement of extraterrestrial capilliary pumped loops for nuclear applications
(2010-12-01)This work examines electrohydrodynamic enhancement of capillary pump loops (CPL) for use in extraterrestrial nuclear applications. A capillary pump uses capillary action through a porous wick to transport heat and mass. ... -
Electron paramagnetic resonance for dosimetry in freshwater aquatic environments
(2020-08-01)This thesis explores the feasibility of detection of radiological contamination in aquatic environments through Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Exposure of freshwater ecosystems is possible as a result ... -
Electrophysiological responses of Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to active volatile organic compounds released by human and pig decomposition
(2015-11-01)Forensic entomology is an important discipline which utilizes the developmental and behavioural patterns of insects which colonize decomposing tissue in a medicolegal context, most commonly to determine the post-mortem ... -
Elucidation of the lipid degradation process in soft tissue and fluid during decomposition, in the presence and absence of insects.
(2014-08-01)Decomposition has been extensively studied in the presence of insects, however the process in the absence of insects has been considerably less documented. In this study, the decomposition process was compared between ... -
Emerging online roles for academic librarians in Canada
(2019-08-01)The impact of digital technology on higher education is changing library services, spaces and roles. Academic librarians have a further transition with changing pedagogies for online learning. Less is known, however, about ... -
Empirically detecting colour: can we use solar cells as colour sensors?
(2021-08-01)The purpose of this thesis was to explore the possibility of using solar cells as a colour sensor. Colour sensors already exist, yet they are either costly or fail at correctly sensing monochromatic light. Our experiment ... -
Enablers and barriers of suicide risk assessments in inpatient and emergency department settings: a scoping review
(2022-04-01)According to past mental health reports, the occurrence of suicide within inpatient healthcare facilities ranges between 1.0–4.5/1000 patients amongst North American, European, Australian and Chinese hospitals each year. ... -
Encapsulated source contact dose estimates incorporating secondary electron emission
(2015-04-01)Secondary electron emission generated at the surface of thin material from interaction with gamma rays form a significant component of the surface dose. The intensity of this emission is known to vary with material composition ... -
Endothelial cell response to bioactive peptides and stiffened extracellular matrices: an investigation into atherogenic pathways
(2017-08-01)Endothelial dysfunction is the initiating step in atherosclerosis and leads to cardiovascular disease outcomes. This dysfunction can be mitigated by cardioprotective signaling molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) which can ... -
