By harvesting online workers' knowledge, crowdsourcing has become an efficient and cost-effective way to obtain a large amount of labeled data for solving human intelligent tasks (HITs), such as…

Transcription of genes and production of proteins are essential functions of a normal cell. If disturbed, misregulation of crucial genes leads to aberrant cell behaviour and in some cases, leads to…

How do we re-politicise today in its correct, original, and medieval spirit Orderic Vitalis's thousand-year-old investigation of the Conqueror's crimes? The text where this exists in its…

Core-shell semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have gained increasing attention since the last decade for their advances in multiple applications. This core-shell geometry is advantageous because of the…

Spectroscopic studies provide information about the structure of nuclei. Information that, in turn, serves to inform theoretical models and astrophysical studies.Recent work using the GRIFFIN…

Globally, around 20% of people suffer from chronic pain, an illness that cannot be cured and has been linked to numerous physical and mental conditions. According to the BioPsychoSocial model of pain…

Impact benefit agreements have become a popular tool to manage and mitigate the impacts of resource development activities, and share the monetary and/or non-monetary benefits from development…

A combined sedimentological-geochronological approach is employed to unravel the importance of paleoenvironments landward of the shoreline in understanding the stratigraphic architecture, and…

Indigenous peoples have maintained that sovereignty over their waters is a priority for them. Yet, most water governance systems across Canada exclude Indigenous peoples from decision-making…

It is difficult to find closed-form optimal decisions in the context of pension plans. Therefore, we often need to rely on numerical algorithms to find approximate optimal decisions. In this report,…

This research examines the Korean state's position in the development of its cultural industries. In contrast to doctrines of neoliberal globalization that demand that the state minimize its…

In order to investigate the structures and physical properties of intriguing relaxor ferroelectrics, a novel solid solution, (1-x)(Pb0.5Sr0.5)(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3-xPbTiO3 (PSZT-PT), of complex perovskite…

Beyond Representation: Music, Language, and Mental Life investigates how music, as a non-discursive expressive form, generates and expresses meaning. Music's use in cultural ritual is explored…

Climate change is shifting the timing of life-cycle events, or phenology, of species at different rates, reshuffling species interactions, and sometimes resulting in consumer-resource mismatches,…

The Canadian government has made commitments to transition Canada to a carbon neutral economy by 2050, but to date have yet to announce a policy pathway to achieve its goal. This study uses the CIMS…

The development of mathematical models and numerical simulations is crucial to design improvement, optimization, and control of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The current study introduces a novel…

Longitudinal observations of income are often strongly autocorrelated, even after adjusting for independent variables. We explore two common longitudinal models that allow for residual…

Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an invasive grass common in wetlands and riparian areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. It is highly adaptable and resistant to many control methods, but…

Successful diamond exploration projects in glaciated terrain depend on effective drift prospecting methods. This thesis assesses the effects of deglacial meltwater on kimberlite indicator mineral…

Movement is an essential aspect of our lives. Not only do we move to interact with our physical environment, but we also express ourselves and communicate with others through our movements. In an…
