The ligand electronics of salen manganese nitride complexes directly influence the locus of oxidation and thus, the reactivity of the resulting oxidized species. This work investigates the influence…

The design and synthesis of a supramolecular square was achieved by coordination-driven assembly of redox-active nickel(II) salen linkers and (ethylenediamine)palladium(II) nodes. The tetrameric…

In this podcast transcript, host Alice Fleerackers interviews Jenny Metcalfe about science communication models, including the deficit model (one-way communication from scientists to the public), the…

This thesis studies the perception and reasoning of geometric elements in architectural modeling. We build a reconstruction and generation system for more faithfully reconstructing building models…

The Ni salen complex 1 (N,N’– bis(2,3,4–tri–methoxysalicylidene)–1,2–cyclohexane–(1R,2R)–diamine Nickel(II)) was prepared containing ortho-, meta-, and para-methoxy substituted phenolate moieties.…

While there is a breadth of research in mapping Western musical features to perceived emotion within research in music and emotion, a critique of the field is that this breadth of methodologies lacks…

Quantum information technologies will be able to perform certain tasks that are intractable on classical computers, including chemically accurate simulations of heavy elements and large…

Prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, youth have experienced worsening mental health trends. Associated with these trends is a significant proportion of youth who are experiencing unmet mental…

The concept of validation has received limited attention in the intergroup relations literature. However, feelings of collective validation may help to inspire and sustain collective action. Two…

Playing remote tabletop games is a fun way to connect with distant friends. Yet most systems for remote tabletop gaming lack support for tangible and social interaction, two important aspects of…

Today online searches for lesbian and queer podcasts return a rich listing of content for our consumption. But how did we arrive at this particular moment? And what makes a podcast or radio show…

Green technologies such as fuel cells are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, fuel cells can experience faults such as hydrogen crossover, where hydrogen leaks through the membrane,…

This report proposes a complete framework to model the operation of a defined benefit pension plan, which contains a Canadian economic scenario generator, a stochastic mortality model, an…

Since Dr. George Stern first coined the phrase The Freshman Myth in 1966, there have been numerous studies regarding university transition. The focuses of these studies have ranged from students…

The physical supercritical fluid deposition is a method of thin film deposition that allows high molecular weight materials to be deposited onto curved and flexible substrates to form patterns with…

In recent years, HCI designers have become more aware of the limitations of designing from a human-centered perspective. More-than-human theories have emerged in HCI to highlight the pressing issues…

Psychological ownership is the feeling of "this belongs to me" that consumers may develop towards an object, idea, space, or organization. Prior research has shown that psychological…

Traditional image compression generally relies on linear transform, and does not have knowledge of the content of the image. The motivations of this thesis are to apply deep learning and computer…

Through archival analysis this research examines the Cannabis Act as a case study in the creation of the Government of Canada's Indigenous policy. After nearly a century of prohibition, the…

The majority of common cameras have an integrated flash that improves lighting in a variety of situations, particularly in low-light environments. Before capturing an image, the photographer must…
