During the first years of life, typically developing infants respond to and actively engage their caregivers' attention in increasingly complex ways, leading to mutually enjoyable interactions.…

The notion of difficulty in Second Language Acquisition research is a highly discussed topic, and it has been extensively explored in the literature. However, research studies investigating…

Evaluating design alternatives is a collaborative activity in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry involving the design team members and other non-expert design stakeholders…

Antarctic sea ice is hypothesized to have played an important role in modulating ocean circulation, marine productivity, and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations on glacial-interglacial…

Sensors are devices, modules, machines, or subsystems that convert external stimuli, such as force, pressure, bio-signals, and vibration, into electrical signals. Control and safety systems for…

Since the 1980s, at least 160 ha of marsh vegetation has died off in Sturgeon Bank and Westham Island, located within the Fraser River Estuary. Proposed causes for this marsh recession include…

Motivation: Drug resistance is becoming an increasingly serious risk to human health around the world. Using techniques that predict drug resistance across different bacterial species that utilize…

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the potential of alternative low carbon fuels, such as hydrogen and methane blends, is under investigation. Low-cost spark ignited (SI) engines can be easily…

Lajoie Lake is a small montane lake located 90 km northwest of Lillooet, British Columbia. In recent decades, long-time residents have observed water quality degradation and eutrophication despite no…

As new neural network models continue to expand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications seeking more accurate results rely on larger, deeper networks and require powerful computing devices.…

For my project I chose to make a Conversational Shm'algyack (Sm'algya̱x) Audio Glossary. In our traditional territories of British Columbia, we have less than one hundred speakers of Shm…

Material extrusion or fused deposition modeling is a popular 3D printing process that currently faces challenges in processing flexible materials such as thermoplastic polyurethane regarding…

This is the first study to report the acute and chronic effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of thiamethoxam, ranging from 0.15-150 μg/L and a mixture of clothianidin, imidacloprid, and…

At the beginning of the last century, solutions to the Einstein equation indicated the existence of mysterious objects, later called black holes. The Schwarzschild metric describes the geometry of…

Georg Rheticus' Canon doctrinae triangulorum (1551) challenges traditional approaches to trigonometry in Europe by offering the first conceptualization of the subject which examines the…

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) published 94 Calls to Action in 2015 (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015). In response, postsecondary institutions are engaging in…

The global pandemic has brought numerous challenges for designers, researchers, and practitioners whose work involves children and new technologies. While many of us have found creative ways to…

Random forests are often regarded as black-box machine learning models. They are sufficiently complex that they are not easily interpretable. This fact has inspired a variety of research into…

A Probabilistic Graph Query (PGQ) specifies target components of a graph to be predicted, given observed components as evidence. For example, a single-link query specifies a target link, with other…

In most areas that support resource development, the natural/baseline groundwater quality is poorly understood, limiting our ability to assess groundwater quality impacts. This research utilized an…
