The primary goal of a colour characterization model is to establish a mapping from digital input values di (i=R,G,B) to tristimulus values such as XYZ. A good characterization model should be fast,…

This study explores the social contours and the talk within contemporary women's book clubs. The approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on theories of interpretive community, feminist…

A novel design of accelerometer based on differential buoyancy of a heated fluid in a micromachined enclosure has been developed at Simon Fraser University. This project focuses on theoretical and…

Land-use plan implementation is a complex process influenced by a multitude of factors. In all, eighteen factors are identified as key to implementation. Key factors include strong stakeholder…

This research examines the Community Forest Pilot Project (CFPP) implemented in British Columbia in 1998. Under this program, the government has allocated forest land and managerial autonomy to ten…

Falls cause substantial death and morbidity in the elderly. Fall risk depends on ability to maintain balance during daily activities and ability to recover balance following a perturbation such as…

Paleoecological analyses and radiocarbon dating of late-Quaternary sediments from the Queen Charlotte Islands (QCI), northern Vancouver Island, and the continental shelf along the coast of British…

Until recently, there has been little acknowledgement or understanding of the problems faced by those affected by fetal alcohol syndrome/fetal alcohol effect (FAS/FAE). This is especially the case…

In C. elegnns there are over 1000 putative G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) genes, of which approximately 18 are predicted to code for rhodopsin-like GPCRs. Heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins…

Task definition theoretically is one of the main components of self-regulated learning because one's representation of the task directs cognitive activities such as setting goals, creating…

In 1997, Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site of Canada (CTNHSC) experienced several management changes, including implementation of a quota system and introduction of an overnight user fee. These…

Amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology provides an opportunity to develop large area X-ray imagers with enhanced benefits over existing imaging technology. An important application of a-Si:H X-ray…

A series of chiral acetals were prepared from 7-hydroxyindan- 1 -one and a variety of substituted chiral nonracemic C2-symmetric 1,2-ethanediols [R = Me, Ph, CH20Me, CH20Bn, CH20(l -Np), i-Pr] in…

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are designed for wireless communication and require no fixed infrastructure as the mobile hosts also perform routing tasks. The high dynamics of such self-organizing…

This paper examines the role of inflationary finance together with the presence of distortionary taxes as a welfare-maximizing policy package. I derive an overlappinggeneration model with a linear…

An oxygen-neon nova is presently understood to be the result of a thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an oxygen-neon white dwarf. During this event production, and subsequent ejection into the…

The Darwinist is a full length one act play exploring the relationship between Charles Darwin, evolutionary theory and the spread of HIVIAIDS in Africa. Told through the story of Elisa Wallace, the…

Britain's direct power over India and Pakistan might have ceased in 1947, yet their control over the "Jewel in the Crown" in popular media lasted for almost another forty years.…

I have integrated data from linkage mapping, physical mapping and karyotyping in order to characterize the sex chromosomes in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The primary genetic sex-determing signal…

The importance of women's transnational activism, or activism beyond national borders, has become increasingly relevant as the gendered impact of globalization intensifies. By focusing on the…
