Investigating the subsurface geological structures of active volcanic systems and their evolution in time is one of the main pursuits of modern volcanology. Many geophysical methods are routinely…

Two novel fluorescent analog of the Ru(III) compound, NAMI, were synthesized and characterized. Chapter 2 explored the effects of functionalization using lipophilic trifluoromethyl groups. This…

Zinc oxide is a wide direct bandgap (3.34 eV) compound semiconductor with a large exciton binding energy of 60 meV. It has potential applications in optoelectronic devices and is a promising…

Second harmonic generation at the nanoscale presents intriguing opportunities in numerous fields, including bioimaging, medical therapies and diagnostics, and chemical sensing. The practical…

This thesis consists of two separate studies, the first investigates the institutional framework and challenges in managing public recreational fisheries. It contrasts the existing system with an…

This thesis explores the correlation between mechanical impact and neurological damage in spinal cord injury (SCI) through computational modeling and machine learning (ML). It emphasizes on the role…

This study investigates the intermetallic Kondo-lattice system YbCuAs$_2$\ using muon spin relaxation/rotation ($\mu$SR) techniques, comparing the observed local magnetic response with reported…

Twenty-six pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) were detected within sediments or surface waters of the Alaksen National Wildlife Area (ANWA), British Columbia, Canada. This is the most…

In this thesis, we present a novel network architecture using an encoder-decoder neural network, inspired by Lusch et al. [15], to directly obtain the eigenfunctions of the Koopman operator, which…

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a favorable setting for exploring out-of-equilibrium phenomena in interacting quantum systems and have attracted significant attention in recent years. A…

A natural question to ask in the study of ℓ-adic and mod-ℓ representations attached to elliptic curves over Q is what conditions guarantee two such representations will be isomorphic. Related to this…

Exploration of the Moon for long-term habitation faces challenges related to surface risks. Recent discoveries suggest intact lunar lava tubes that could serve as shelters for future settlements.…

Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System accelerometers have been integral in various applications for years due to their precision, versatility, and compact size. They have found relevance in sectors ranging…

This thesis focuses on analyzing and evaluating two integral policy mechanisms related to natural resource governance in Canada: community benefit agreements (CBAs) and impact assessment (IA). The…

Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is a by-product of the extraction process of bitumen in the Canadian oil sands industry and is currently stored in tailings ponds on site. Wood frog embryos…

This study investigates how tools for formulating rules affect learning in a simulation of series electric circuits. Computer simulations can enhance exploratory learning but pose challenges to…

This graphic métissage aims to embody a holistic framework as a means for telling the story of the BC curriculum for Social Justice 12. Through the weaving of life-writing, Indigenous research…

Organ transplant rejection is prevented by immunosuppressants, but these drugs do not always work and are associated with many side effects. To circumvent the use of these immunosuppressants, a cell…

British Columbia (B.C.)'s housing prices have increased dramatically in recent times, and one potential explanation is municipal zoning bylaws limiting housing supply. However, the effect of…

Print disabilities are not addressed by the Canadian book market despite initiatives such as Born Accessible and eBooks for Everyone. In response to questions around this systemic privilege built…
