As the growth of online data continues, automatic summarization is integral in generating a condensed version of a text while preserving the meaning of the original input. Although most of the…

In 2007, the Woodlands Memorial Garden (WMG) was installed in New Westminster, British Columbia, on the site of a long-forgotten cemetery, active between 1920 and 1958, for people diagnosed as…

Current evidence suggests robust associations between parental warmth and harsh discipline and ODD. However, research has yet to investigate the potential mediating role of emotion regulation in this…

A new optical proximity sensor was developed and studied in this project. A 3D printed model is used for proving the concept. An integrated model with a new geometry was then microfabricated to…

Section III of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) includes an alternative model of personality disorder diagnosis that conceptualizes…

The central thesis of this dissertation is that war and militarism have been formative in the development of Western education from its inception in Classical Greece until the present. The secondary…

Membrane tether proteins staple the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to other cellular membranes at Membrane Contact Sites (MCSs), as possible conduits to coordinately regulate lipid metabolism and…

Enzymes that catalyze the removal of carbohydrate units from biological molecules are called glycoside hydrolases (GH). These enzymes have been categorized into more than 150 different families. This…

Between 1911 and 1914, as Vancouver was in the final moments of its breakneck transformation from a resource industry town to a metropolitan city, a working-class rebellion was brewing. Poor white…

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of diving deaths. Scarcity of 12 lead ECG recordings during dives leaves many questions unanswered about cardiac function during ascent…

This thesis describes the measurement of the local magnetic field of a D-Wave Systems Washington generation processor using on-chip multiplexed unshunted DC SQUID magnetometers. These measurements…

Scholars have investigated the role of marketing in impoverished contexts for decades. A historical review of this literature from World War Two onward identified four key themes: a persistent…

Material quality and crystallinity play an important role in the activity of plasmonic devices. Plasmonic structures made from monocrystalline metals may be expected to display much higher efficiency…

Plasma membrane (PM) homeostasis is essential for viability and depends on maintaining a constant balance between the amount of membrane material arriving at the cell cortex and the amount recycled.…

Agencies often claim, and societies often assume, a scientific basis to natural resource management. Science does have potential for informing management, for example by providing rigorous approaches…

Thiazoline-sugar based inhibitors are known transition state analog inhibitors of N-acetylhexosaminidases that utilize a substrate assisted catalysis mechanism. Although selective inhibitors have…

Abstract“Divided Loyalties” examines a Communist union’s struggle to survive in the post-Second World War environment of anti-Communism and anti-trade unionism that marked one of the most violent…

Regarded as the mainstay for treatment of venous insufficiency and the associated complications, compression therapy aims at assisting with venous return through the exertion of external pressure on…
