Cyclin dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that forms a module with Cyclin C, Mediator 12 and Mediator 13. The kinase module reversibly interacts with the Mediator, a 26-…

The capture and conversion of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) is a widely researched strategy to addressing the climate crisis and mitigating CO2 emissions stemming from the use of fossil-…

Humans are having myriad direct and indirect effects on marine species. Echinoderms appear particularly prone to dramatic population declines and extirpations driven by both disease and anthropogenic…

In this chapter, I aim to glimpse the future of cities by focusing on the endings of designed things that make up our cities and the multispecies gatherings around things. I rely on the more-than-…

The adoption of democratic and participatory design processes involving community members can lead to the creation of better and more livable environments. This thesis examines the potential of…

Snow avalanches are a complex natural hazard that cause approximately 140 reported fatalities each year. Most accidents involve backcountry recreationists, and there are often signs of unstable snow…

This essay explores the ongoing creation of a sci-fi graphic novel titled Sudden Light. Here is illustrated an outline of the established plot and projections for its future - a kind of artist's…

Studying developmental disorders sheds light on how signalling networks regulate development. Our research focuses on the Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) variant DVL11519ΔT, found in Autosomal Dominant Robinow…

In the seven decades since their discovery, macrolide natural products have led to some of the most revolutionary medicines of the 20th and 21st centuries. Owing to these successes, macrolides…

Recent advancements in high-throughput (HT) multi-omics have significantly impacted drug discovery, enhancing the exploration of novel chemistries through innovative analytical techniques.…

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent necessity to close the digital divide among diverse Canadian older adult populations, to access services necessary to better their mental…

This thesis comprises three studies exploring the impact of income inequality on firm performance and political influence on gender parity within Canadian corporate boards. The issues addressed here…

Interactive technologies are becoming ubiquitous in many children's lives. From school to home, technologies are changing the way children live. However, current methods of designing these…

A recent trend in ubiquitous computing is the development of new forms of interfaces, which rely on embodied interaction. We focus on the definition of embodiment that refers to the ways in which…

One of the claimed benefits of embodied interaction is that it is an intuitive form of human–computer interaction. While this claim seems to be widely accepted, few studies explore the underlying…

For centuries, learning and development has been supported by physical activity and manipulating physical objects. With the introduction of embedded technologies, opportunities for employing tangible…

In order to better understand how to design hands-on child-computer interaction, we explore how different styles of interaction facilitate children's thinking while they use their hands to…
