Climate change is shifting the timing of life-cycle events, or phenology, of species at different rates, reshuffling species interactions, and sometimes resulting in consumer-resource mismatches,…

The Canadian government has made commitments to transition Canada to a carbon neutral economy by 2050, but to date have yet to announce a policy pathway to achieve its goal. This study uses the CIMS…

The development of mathematical models and numerical simulations is crucial to design improvement, optimization, and control of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The current study introduces a novel…

Longitudinal observations of income are often strongly autocorrelated, even after adjusting for independent variables. We explore two common longitudinal models that allow for residual…

Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an invasive grass common in wetlands and riparian areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. It is highly adaptable and resistant to many control methods, but…

Successful diamond exploration projects in glaciated terrain depend on effective drift prospecting methods. This thesis assesses the effects of deglacial meltwater on kimberlite indicator mineral…

Movement is an essential aspect of our lives. Not only do we move to interact with our physical environment, but we also express ourselves and communicate with others through our movements. In an…

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) represent an innovative and promising technology for transportation applications due to their low weight, lower operative temperature, and pressure ranges…

Women's documentary filmmaking in Sinophone cinemas has been marginalized in the film industry and understudied in film studies scholarship. The convergence of neoliberalism,…

Post-industrial waterfront redevelopment refers to the transformation from the Keynesian-Fordist industrial landscape to the post-industrial service-based waterfront (Vormann, 2014). Neoliberal…

Vesicular ATP release is involved in regulating biological processes like nociception, blood glucose, and vascular tone. ATP-containing vesicles are filled by the vesicular nucleotide transporter (…

As an Arts based educator, I am particularly interested in exploring Arts classrooms. Places tailored for teaching the Arts are so unique—they are unlike regular classrooms that have no specific…

Environmental regimes are shifting with accelerating climate change, putting at risk species whose ecology has been shaped by pre-industrial climates. Both species physiology and habitat associations…

Food that is available yet inaccessible cannot ensure urban food security. This study involved an online survey (n=84) and semi-structured follow-up key informant interviews (n=10) with individuals…

Nature has evolved many mechanisms for achieving directed motion on the subcellular level. The burnt-bridge ratchet (BBR) is one mechanism used to accomplish superdiffusive motion over long distances…

Background: Drug repurposing can accelerate the identification of effective compounds for clinical use against SARS-CoV-2, with the advantage of pre-existing clinical safety data and an established…

Curious & Curiouser is a dual-part project where listening happens in two different "spaces": the choral composition and in an artist book. Each uses as source material haiku that the…

Background: Although older adults may experience health challenges requiring increased attention and care, they often do not ask for help. This behavior is complex and not completely understood;…

Integrating Indigenous perspectives in British Columbia is a requirement for teacher education programs as well as in the K-12 school programs. This doctoral research aims to study the successes and…

Non-credit programs for older adults have had a peripheral but growing role in Canadian universities since the 1970s (Ratsoy, 2016; Findsen & Formosa, 2011). As the population ages, interest in…
