(2013-07-01)The prohibition of many drugs has led to the development and implementation of drug related education programs that typically exist at the elementary school level. As many of these programs are funded by the Canadian ... -
Examining the practice approaches used by registered dietitians in Canada when working with higher weight adults
(2022-08-01)A cross-sectional, national, online survey of Canadian Registered Dietitians (RDs) was conducted to explore the various practice approaches used when working with higher weight adults. Specifically examined was the use of ... -
Examining the relationship between cervical anthropometics, head kinematics and cervical muscle responses to sudden head perturbations in competitive ice hockey players
(2016-04-01)Sex differences in neck muscle characteristics may explain the higher incidence of concussions in female hockey players. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in cervical muscle characteristics between male ... -
Examining the role of race in plea decision-making for defense attorneys and laypeople
(2023-08-01)Guilty pleas and trials both result in convictions, however, the plea process is significantly shorter, and most convictions are secured through guilty pleas. Defendants typically only see their defense attorney during ... -
Examining the use of wearable technologies in K-12 education: a systematic review of the literature
(2020)This paper seeks to uncover how wearable technologies are used in K-12 education contexts. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PRISMA framework in conjunction with a thematic narrative analysis. ... -
Examining the utility of pre-charge youth diversion programs: a Canadian context
(2015-05-01)Despite the perceived benefits of pre-charge diversion programs, some researchers contend that programs based on police selection may suffer from selection bias. Critics have also argued that diversion programs are being ... -
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these resources efficiently within economic constraints is ... -
Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses and optimization of thermal management systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2012-01-01)With the recent improvements in battery technologies, in terms of energy density, cost and size, the electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technologies have shown that they can compete with conventional vehicles ... -
Experience of oncology nurses and cancer survivors during cancer treatment transition from oncology teams to primary care providers teams
(2020-07-01)Cancer care for cancer survivors in treatment transition is fragmented. This phenomenological study explored experience of oncology nurses and cancer survivors in treatment transition. Patient and nurse participants were ... -
Experiences and satisfaction with methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) health services: views from a small Ontario city
(2011-04-01)Addiction to opiates is a complex public health issue affecting thousands of Canadians. Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) is considered the gold standard in Canada, and the world, for treating opiate dependence. In the ... -
Experiences in a multi-sport parasport program: the female adolescent perspective
(2020-07-01)This phenomenological study utilized semi-structured interviewing to understand the experiences of adolescent females (N=3) in a multi-sport parasport program. The results of this study revealed several aspects of the ... -
Experiences of partners of male prisoners
(2011-04-01)The consequences of imprisonment are felt not only by prisoners themselves but also their family members. Prisoners may be alone in a cell or on trial but most have families and friends that often feel as though they are ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts.
(2013-12-01)This research focuses on the dynamic seat comfort in aircrafts specifically during takeoff, landing and cruise through turbulence flight conditions. The experiments are performed using a multi axis shaker table in the ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow structures at the rear of three-dimensional bluff bodies
(2023-05-01)Flows around bluff bodies have complex structures, which create drag, surface contamination and stability issues for transportation systems. The standard Ahmed body (SAB) is a simplified representative three-dimensional ... -
