Formerly incarcerated women’s online accounts of pathways to criminality and incarceration: a contribution to feminist pathways theory
(2023-11-01)
Some feminist scholars argue that pathways research is not truly representative of girls’ and women’s pathways to crime. This paper uses the gendered pathways theory that recognizes and highlights some of the unique factors ...
Discovery of trend dependencies over time-series
(2023-11-01)
We improve constraint-based data quality using trend dependency (TD) discovery, extending existing order dependencies (ODs) to allow variations and exceptions. Unlike ODs, TDs capture approximate functional mappings between ...
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
(2023-05-01)
This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
Exploring the relationships between year of eligibility, self-perceptions and training behaviour in varsity student-athletes
(2023-06-01)
Although there is much research on the experiences and academic accomplishments of student-athletes, less work has focused on factors influencing training and performance outcomes among varsity student-athletes. This study ...
Subgraph classification through neighborhood pooling
(2023-06-01)
Subgraph classification is an emerging field in graph representation learning where the task is to classify a group of nodes (i.e., a subgraph) within a graph. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are the de facto solution for ...
Scalable subgraph representation learning through simplification
(2023-06-01)
Link prediction on graphs is a fundamental problem. Subgraph representation learning approaches (SGRLs), by transforming link prediction to graph classification on the subgraphs around the links, have achieved state-of-the-art ...
Are we where we should be? Assessing investigative interviewing practices and training of officers in the Force Criminal Investigation Department of the Nigeria Police Force
(2023-06-01)
In the criminal justice system, investigative interviewing is crucial for getting information that helps law enforcement agencies resolve cases. While there is a relative wealth of scholarly studies on investigative ...
Squeegee Punks reunite: safe streets for all: an insider qualitative study
(2023-06-01)
Squeegee Punks were a fixture on many busy street corners in urban cities in Canada in the mid to late 1990s. During the height of the squeegee kid phenomenon, multiple studies were conducted on how squeegee work impacted ...
Modelling and prediction of tire-rim slip with finite element analysis
(2023-07-01)
In this thesis, tire-rim slip was simulated with a FEA model of a RHD truck tire. Multiple simulations were conducted to validate the model and investigate the effects of different parameters such as terrain type, tire-rim ...
Design and analysis of a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic
(2023-08-01)
The purpose of this thesis was to propose and thermodynamically analyze a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic for heating, electricity, farming, fresh water, hot water and waste management. ...
