Black oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani) are an iconic species of the rocky intertidal coastline ranging from Baja California to Alaska. I evaluated three ecological hypotheses for geographic and…

Landslides are dangerous, expensive, and ubiquitous hazards that affect people globally. The Kluane Lake region of southwest Yukon is prone to landsliding owing to its relatively high relief, seismic…

A well-constructed cultural sequence is a valuable archaeological tool that is still needed for the Boreal Forest of northeastern British Columbia. Several previous projects have presented projectile…

Test cases play an important role in testing and debugging software. Large complex test cases are hard to comprehend and can hinder these tasks. Thus, reducing test cases is crucial for understanding…

Unmanned Aerial Manipulators (UAM) are gaining attention within the unmanned aerial systems research community. They can be used for aerial manipulation tasks such as object retrieval from confined…

Visual-inertial SLAM systems estimate the state and trajectory of a moving device while building a map of the environment using sensors such as cameras and inertial measurement units. These systems…

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease which typically results in asymmetric hypertrophy, myofibrillar disarray, hypercontractility, and impaired relaxation. It is inherited in…

We address the task of predicting what parts of an object can open and how they move when they do so. The input is a single image of an object, and as output we detect what parts of the object can…

Critical thinking (CT) is an important learning objective in most liberal education. In post-secondary education, CT is often taught as its own subject with a dedicated first-year course, normally in…

We exploit algebraic structure in combinatorial objects in two distinct areas. In Part I we consider weighted walks confined to Weyl chambers whose stepset is invariant when applying the action of…

Vancouver, Canada and other North American cities are home to historic neighbourhood retail stores which local residents cherish. Despite their value to communities, many are not recognized as…

A growing subset of self-employed workers in Canada are highly vulnerable to income shocks because of the precarious nature of their employment. Self-employed and gig workers are not covered by…

Canadian municipalities established by settlers are structured in a way that separates residents from their environment. We may have nice gardens, but our fences limit shared interactions with the…

After the discoveries of superconductivity in heavy-fermions materials, cuprates, and more recently in the topological semimetals, the conventional ideas of superconductivity have been significantly…

Although research has previously demonstrated social media use's effect on body satisfaction through appearance comparisons, the role of loneliness with respect to these variables remains…

Change impact analysis is essential for predicting the impact of change in complex and dynamic applications. Balancing the precision and completeness of the analysis is challenging, especially for a…

This study is a diachronic examination of Byzantine Paphlagonia and the people that lived therein from the seventh to the twelfth century. I focus on several key themes that structured how history…

High-surface-area multifaceted platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit promising electrocatalytic properties for various electrochemical reactions. Effective structural and morphological control is…

In this chapter we provide an overview of concepts and methods that have become part of our approach to gain a broader and deeper understanding of the relations between humans and technology. Over…

Morse Things are Internet connected ceramic cups and bowls that communicate with each other in Morse Code. This ongoing research iteratively asks thing-centered questions of things and technology. A…
