A pilot study to explore healthcare professionals’ perception of using a web-based reminiscence therapy to support dementia care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond
(2022-05-01)
Introduction: Reminiscence therapy (RT) is the most common non-pharmacological treatment for dementia care. The therapy stimulates the senses to evoke memories and may reduce Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia ...
Nursing and policy: nurses perspectives on ending hallway healthcare in Ontario
(2022-04-01)
Drawing from elements of street-level bureaucracy this thesis examines the experiences and perspectives of six nurses (registered practical nurses and registered nurses) and their work with patients designated as alternate ...
Development of neutron monitor for fusion systems
(2022-04-01)
Currently, the detection of neutrons employs sensors with a high thermal neutron response embedded in a thermalizing medium. However, this approach does not provide much information on neutron energy and, therefore, is ...
Modeling and experimental investigation of renewable energy and ammonia-based systems for carbon capturing and useful outputs
(2022-04-01)
This thesis work focuses on developing ammonia-based carbon capturing systems that produce useful chemical outputs to offset the energy penalty typically imposed by implementing a carbon capture retrofitting to a power ...
Neural markers of antisocial behaviour in offenders and their relationship with risk-factors of offending
(2022-03-01)
The relationship between neural integrity and offending patterns has been increasingly evaluated to better understand the mechanisms that predispose towards offending behaviours. While this work has made inroads into ...
Improving understanding of rape proclivity
(2022-04-01)
The current dissertation included three studies that together aimed to improve understanding of rape proclivity as a potential construct related to sexual violence. In the first study, participants' understanding of the ...
Functionalized carbon surfaces for clean electrochemical energy systems
(2022-03-01)
The development and implementation of clean energy technologies is the way to overcome the global energy crisis and reduce pollution. Therefore, new energy solutions are rapidly needed. Fuel cells (FCs) may become one such ...
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 ...
A POMDP framework for antenna selection and user scheduling in multi-user massive MIMO systems
(2022-04-01)
We use a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) framework to design a resource allocation policy for downlink transmit beamforming at a multi-antenna BS that is equipped with a massive number of antennas and ...
A big data and online health analytics framework extended to integrate clinical and countermeasure decision support
(2022-03-01)
Computing frameworks that utilize big data analytics to support Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have proven to impact human lives in applications on Earth and in space. In the application of Space Medicine Decision ...
