Academic integrity policy and support provisions: are Ontario colleges setting international and multilingual learners up for success?
(2022-07-01)With the meteoric rise of international students on college campuses across Ontario, institutions must be committed to provide support and continued discourse around multiple educational and cultural perspectives. One area ... -
Academic success courses at Ontario colleges: a qualitative analysis of syllabi
(2020-07-01)Ontario Colleges expanded enrolment and reached into populations that traditionally did not attend post-secondary (Rae, 2005). The challenge has been to support students who were not prepared for college-level academic ... -
Access control obligation specification and enforcement using behavior pattern language
(2018-01-01)Increasing the use of Internet-based devices offers novel opportunities for users to access and share resources anywhere and anytime so that such a collaborative environment complicates the design of an accountable ... -
Achieving high efficiency thermoelectric heating and cooling with metal foam heat exchangers
(2014-04-01)This thesis examines the development of a high efficiency heat pump system using thermoelectric (TE) and reticulated metal foam (RMF) technologies to power a vehicle`s battery thermal management system. The focus is split ... -
Achieving real-time video summarization on commodity hardware
(2018-04-01)We present a system for automatic video summarization which is able to operate in real-time on commodity hardware. This is achieved by performing segmentation to divide a video into a series of small video clips, which are ... -
Acknowledging offender trauma at intake: a qualitative thematic analysis of Canadian correctional policy
(2023-08-01)Trauma has seldom been discussed in the literature in relation to incarceration. The research that does exist has tended to be gendered, focusing predominantly on the trauma experiences of female offenders. The current ... -
Active balancing of lithium-ion cells for maximum power discharging
(2018-07-01)The future of Electric Vehicle’s (EV) depends on the adoption of the technology. Currently the limiting factor for EV adoption is mainly the initial cost, the driving range, charging capability, and the battery life. The ... -
Active transport and concentration of analytes in microfluidic paper based analytical devices using ion concentration polarization
(2019-04-01)Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have a high potential for miniaturizing complex testing functions, since they are inexpensive, disposable, and portable. Paper has the advantage over traditional fluid ... -
Acute cardiopulmonary responses to different intensities of exercise in healthy older adults
(2019-12-01)The overall purpose of this thesis was to study the acute cardiopulmonary responses to different intensities of exercise in healthy older adults. Thirty healthy older males and females (69.6 ǂ 6.2 yrs.; males n = 15) ... -
The acute response to high intensity interval exercise in adults with exercise induced bronchoconstriction
(2016-05-01)INTRODUCTION: Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIBC) occurs as a result of airway cooling and drying in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Continuous exercise leads to a significant decline in lung function; ... -
The acute response to sprint interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise in adults with and without airway hyperresponsiveness
(2017-07-01)Introduction: Sprint interval exercise (SIE) has been proposed as a time efficient way to improve physical activity levels; however, SIE has not been studied in adults with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Methods: Eight ... -
An adaptive crowdsourced investigation of word abbreviation techniques for text visualizations
(2017-04-01)A known problem in information visualization labeling is when the text is too long to fit in the label space. There are some common known techniques used in order to solve this problem like setting a very small font size. ... -
Adaptive engagement of older adults’ fitness through gamification
(2017-07-01)Older adults are often not physically active because they lack motivation, time, and/or physical ability. Not only does this impact the life of older adults, but it also affects society as a whole, because the cost of ... -
