‘‘Permanency planning’’ refers to maximizing stability in living situations for children in the care of child protection agencies. This issue concerns pediatricians who may be involved in assessing…

Indoor environments are mainly composed of man-made, functional 3D objects plausibly arranged in a region-bounded space. Arguably, the most important goal when designing an indoor scene is to make it…

We introduce MultiScan, a scalable RGBD dataset construction pipeline leveraging commodity mobile devices to scan indoor scenes with articulated objects and web-based semantic annotation interfaces…

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) in southwestern BC is prone to various natural hazards due to its unique geological and meteorological conditions. In response, local governments, NGOs…

In recent years, asynchronous programming has gained significantly in popularity. Asynchronous software often exhibits complex and error-prone behaviors and should therefore be tested thoroughly.…

The intent of this dissertation is to document my reflections and experiences of parent inclusion as both a mother and educator, through a practitioner inquiry. Using autoethnography as the research…

Kelps support productive habitats across temperate and polar latitudes. Despite their wide-ranging distributions, kelps are declining globally as a result of human activities in coastal areas. My…

Several deep learning-based models for single image super-resolution (SISR) have been presented in recent years that achieve superior performance compared to the traditional vision-based approaches.…

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a DNA editing enzyme which facilitates antibody maturation through somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) in activated B cells…

In recent decades, the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) has risen in popularity among employers to fill short-term labour shortages in Canada's agricultural sector with migrant…

My applied research project consists of three goals: (1) to inform site selection for white mangrove restoration in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the greater Caribbean region, based on a zone…

The structural and thermal evolution of the southwestern margin of the Rae craton, exposed in the Nonacho Lake area (NLA) of the southeastern Northwest Territories, is poorly understood due to a…

With the continued growth of different platforms towards large-scale quantum computation and quantum communication, the development of new systems that provide quantum memory and networked…

This evidence brief summarizes the literature on the abuse of older adults who identify as 2SLGBT+ (Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer plus) published in the past decade (2013-2023),…

This research study explores the uses of both macrolevel and streetscape pedestrian environmental indices in Squamish, British Columbia. The introduction of several large-scale residential…

This project proposes a new energy paradigm for hydrogen production through shock waves, which can potentially reduce the environmental impact of traditional methods. This work is in support of the…

The purpose of this study is to explore how educational leaders engage in their decision-making processes and whether the expression, "the best interests of the student" serves as a guiding…

This project examines the design flexibility, functionality and use of the šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énk Plaza as a central gathering space for multi-uses including large events, formal and informal…

Constructed groundwater-fed side channels are a common restoration tool used in the Pacific Northwest to mitigate loss of floodplain features important for salmon spawning and rearing. The former…

Deep learning has increasingly been applied to supervised learning tasks in astronomy, such as classifying images of galaxies based on their apparent shape (i.e., galaxy morphology classification) to…
