Designers engage, iteratively, in rapid creation, evaluation, and modification of multiple designs during the design process and this activity resembles a `dialog' with the design medium. The…

The practice of online crowdfunding has grown steadily over the past decade, allowing users to ask for financial donations to fulfill their wants and/or needs. Researchers continue to explore the…

Advancement in particle physics tracking techniques is a seemingly inevitable requirement for the future of higher luminosity experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With the advancements in…

There are good reasons to anticipate that the Standard Model (SM), successful as it is, will nonetheless give way to a more complete description of particle interactions. New physics scenarios beyond…

There is significant normative literature on the moral and legal culpability of child soldiers. However, there is little empirical research regarding how child soldiers are punished by states. This…

Dravet Syndrome (DS) is an epileptic encephalopathy that affects 1 in 30,000 children globally. Characterized by seizure onset after relatively normal early development, 80% of DS cases are monogenic…

The Brauer group of a variety encodes important arithmetic information. For instance, it plays an important role in the Brauer-Manin obstruction, which governs the existence of rational points on…

Understanding the structure and function of skeletal muscle furthers our understanding of body mechanics. Mathematical muscle models are useful for studying muscle mechanics, especially when it is…

The Canadian government has committed to lowering national emissions to net-zero by 2050, but there are many uncertainties that could impact this transition. One of these uncertainties is the cost of…

ZnO is a II-VI semiconductor with a direct bandgap of 3.37 eV. Its high electron mobility, wide bandgap, and low cost make it attractive as a material for use as an active layer in multijunction…

The Diffuse Optical Breast Scanning (DOB-Scan) Probe, consisting near-infrared LEDs and linear CCD sensor, has been developed as a portable and non-invasive breast cancer screening tool. In this…

Gulls (Laridae) use natural and urban environments and are useful 'biomonitors' of coastal ecosystem health. I studied movement ecology (using GPS tags) and physiological health (from blood…

In order to understand NATO's influence in the modern world, in this project we ask the question of why NATO would contribute to the removal of an autocrat from power. We will do so through an…

Using interactive design galleries, designers can now explore, analyze, and extend large parametric design spaces, working in parallel rather than one state at a time. One standard, high-dimensional…

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified (early 2020 through the time of writing in early 2022) the need for publishing companies to digitally market their children's picture books as people were…

This paper qualitatively analyzes the content if IS' English magazine Dabiq to look for how they appeal to female recruits. The purpose is to illuminate if a relatively successful terrorist…

This study aims to examine the inclusion of students with blind and visual impairments (BVI) in science laboratory classrooms. The seven criteria for learning assessment tools were employed to…

In the first chapter of the thesis, we propose a new estimator for the slope parameter of the endogenous variable of interest in a partially linear conditional moment model, which combines a Robinson…

Point cloud (PC) consists of discrete points that are irregular samples of 2D surfaces of physical objects in 3D space. PCs acquired from consumer-level sensors often have noise corruption and/or…

Secondary plant metabolites can have a significant impact on the susceptibility of Lepidoptera to baculovirus infection, both directly and indirectly, and thus can play a major role in determining…
