The late Albian Viking Formation was deposited in a foreland basin depositional setting in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The Viking Formation is currently defined on the basis of…

British Columbia's food system is experiencing a trend in digital agriculture which will impact agricultural activities and land use in the province. This model of agriculture requires computing…

Despite their cultural importance, relatively few ancient DNA (aDNA) studies have focused on fish. Consequently, the methods available for the aDNA analysis of fish remains are underdeveloped…

Mathematical models in fisheries research that utilize tag return data require an estimate of the proportion of commercially caught tags that are returned (i.e., the tag reporting rate). In this…

Predicting the winner of a sports match is a widely studied challenging problem of interest to many stakeholders (media, teams, fans, bookmakers). Various machine learning methods have been used in…

Computer models, or simulators, are widely used as a way to explore complex physical systems, but can be computationally expensive to evaluate or are not readily available to the broad scientific…

Bog wetlands store a disproportionate amount of carbon for their size, making their conservation an important part of climate change mitigation. The goal of this project is to investigate how roads…

Urgent and primary care centres (UPCCs) provide both walk-in services for urgent healthcare needs and booked appointments for longitudinal care. UPCCs utilize multi-disciplinary teams of healthcare…

This thesis covers three major aspects of Husserl's phenomenology that may be particularly of interest to psychologists. I discuss Husserl's critique of naturalism and specifically his…

Dependency upon infrastructure and skilled workers spurs the need for innovation in blood analysis devices to improve accessibility and efficiency. A proposed method of non-invasively determining…

Migratory animals cross the spatial boundaries of ecosystems and subsidize food web productivity through the input of externally derived resources. However, human activities have altered such spatial…

Human infants begin to point to objects around their first birthday, typically before they learn their first words. Pointing in infancy is associated with later social and communicative development…

Circadian food anticipatory activity (FAA) has been modeled as the output of a dual food-entrainable oscillator (FEO) system, based on reports that rats can anticipate two but not three daily meals,…

Reality television is playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives; however, there have been insufficient research on the topic, especially in the reality-variety format. In Western…

Applying game mechanics outside of digital game contexts to improve learning outcomes is known as educational gamification. Games can be highly motivating and engaging to players but not all games…

Fractional factorial designs are useful for collecting data in many fields of studies because they allow us to study the effects of many factors on the response. As the primary interest of most…

HCI and design researchers are increasingly seeing limitations to human-centeredness in design. As a result, researchers are turning to new explorations that emphasize the need to see design and…

Conventional radial AC distribution systems cannot effectively accommodate the rapidly increasing renewable energy sources (RESs) and new loads such as fast charging stations of electric vehicles. To…

The literature on regionalism in Africa often discounts the OAU's replacement by the AU as a 'cosmetic name change' or describes the AU as 'old wine in a new bottle'. My…

Bioplastic food packaging is gaining traction as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics and is being considered within university sustainability strategies. However, bioplastics present their own…
