Evening-type individuals often perform poorly in the morning because of a mismatch between internal circadian time and external social time, a condition recognized as social jetlag. Performance…

Individuals with high levels of anxiety are hypothesized to have impaired executive control functions that would otherwise enable efficient filtering of irrelevant information. Pinpointing specific…

Educators need time and space to explore the interconnectedness of the world. Using autoethnography, I trace my encounters with other-than-human beings and attend to relational ways of understanding…

Computer simulations have been widely used to mimic the behavior of complex physical systems. For some simulators, valid outcomes can only be obtained when the input satisfies some unknown…

Considering the current demands for better sex education in British Columbia (B.C.), this thesis presents a documentary analysis of the sex education material provided to teachers, analyzing the…

Rhodnius prolixus is a triatomine insect that has been used for >80 years as a model organism to study many aspects of insect physiology. It is also a vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent…

The garden is a living site of respite and reconstitution, and in my score-making I turn to the garden as an interlude that carries the potential to manifest shifts in modes of listening and to…

Freshwater ecosystems support important species, such as salmon, but can be degraded by various human pressures such as forestry. Forestry activities can alter the delivery and storage of water,…

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, all sectors of an economy must be addressed. Some sectors seem to have a clear path on the road to zero-GHG emissions, but other…

The body of work around professional identity formation (PIF) in healthcare is expanding rapidly, however, little has been published that is specifically concerned with Medical Laboratory Technology…

CeCd3As3 and CeCd3P3 compounds that adopt the hexagonal ScAl3C3-type structure are triangular lattice antiferromagnets. These compounds indicate antiferromagnetic ordering below ∼0.5 K. Although the…

Molecular motors carry out tasks at scales, speeds and efficiencies largely unattainable for conventional motors. A class of molecular motors known as burnt-bridge ratchets (BBRs) are found all…

Theory of mind (ToM), the ability to reason about the mental states of others, generally declines with age. Evidence suggests that anxiety symptoms may be a robust predictor of ToM abilities across…

Spin diffusion in an ultracold nondegenerate bosonic gas is significantly affected by quantum collisions. In binary collisions of noncondensed indistinguishable particles, exchange symmetry can lead…

Like many municipalities across Canada, the City of Vancouver has been engaged in the work of reconciliation for several years now. Given the complex, multifaceted, and contested nature of…

The reality of political acceptability has led policy makers to implement policy mixes which often include supply-focused regulations, such as a zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate or vehicle…

Image restoration refers to the process of inspecting a degraded image and recovering the underlying artifact-free counterpart through discarding the artifacts. Medical image restoration is a crucial…

Kwakwaka'wakw peoples have lived with an established land-based education system since time immemorial. Although colonization interrupted this system and attempted to eradicate it, it has…

Donor:Acceptor bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) electrodes are expected to play significant roles in electrode design aimed to increase the efficiency of photoactive materials with low exciton lifetime and…

Background: Prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), both individually and as mixtures, may affect pregnancy outcomes. The evidence on the relationships of phthalate exposure with…
