The association between sleep quality and anxiety among postsecondary students
(2022-05-01)
Introduction: Poor sleep quality has been associated with anxiety in postsecondary students. However, high-quality epidemiological evidence about this association is lacking.
Purpose: To determine whether poor sleep quality ...
A systematic review examining the effects of mHealth interventions on dietary adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases
(2022-04-01)
A systematic review was conducted to determine if diet-focused mHealth interventions are effective for supporting dietary adherence in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), a population where nonadherence is common. ...
Novel electrode materials and advanced electrochemical diagnostics for electrochromic devices
(2022-04-01)
Electrochromic materials (ECMs) are a class of “smart” materials used in a variety of applications due to the ability to alter their optical properties with the application of a potential. For these applications, ECMs are ...
Retrospective assessment of human exposures to low dose ionizing radiation using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry with tooth enamel
(2022-04-01)
This study collected the extracted teeth from people of different ages in the Durham region and analyzed them using the X-band CW EPR spectroscopy. The total dose rate from the natural and anthropogenic sources was 1.9721 ...
Pushing the limits of performance. is it really mind over matter? an investigation into the effects of menthol mouth rinsing and the capacity for fatigue amelioration in trained adolescent male cyclists under heat stress
(2022-08-01)
This thesis investigated the effects of menthol (MEN) mouth rinsing (MR) on performance responses in trained adolescent male athletes during a modified variable power cycle test (M-VCT). Participants (n=11) cycled for ...
Exploring the utility of crowdsourcing frameworks to inform the construction of a web-based 3D printing application (3DCrowdGo)
(2022-08-01)
Healthcare trainees learn hands-on skills using simulators before attempting them on patients. COVID-19 shifted in-person learning to online presenting unique challenges, as equipping large cohorts of learners with simulators ...

(2022-08-01)
With the increased integration of lithium-ion batteries in our everyday lives, accurate and reliable battery management systems have become an imperative aspect of the well-being of our everyday electronics. This thesis ...
Exploring capacity and professional development needs of teachers: moving towards inclusive and engaging physical education for girls
(2022-08-01)
Physical education (PE) is an important opportunity for girls to accrue physical activity (PA), health benefits, and healthy PA behavioural patterns that track into adulthood. Girls often have negative experiences within ...
New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
(2022-08-01)
Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ...
