Older adults' use of memory strategies and self-reported medication compliance : a metacognitive model
(2000)Fifty community-dwelling adults aged 51-83 years of age (M=70.1, SD=7.61) reported their medication compliance and their use of memory strategies. The first goal of the present study was to replicate Gould McDonald-Miszczak, ... -
Older men's conceptions of masculinity, aging, and the body / by Stephanie Anderson Chesser.
(2010)While much gerontology research has focused on the female gendered experience of aging, little attention has been paid to the ways in which older men conceptualize their own masculinity. The objectives of this constructivist ... -
Older people's adaptation to new modes of communication
(2014-12-19)The advances in Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the past three decades have served to improve the lives of older persons globally. While this evolution of ICT has in large measure benefited older Canadians, ... -
"Omar comin" : examining hegemonic masculinities in The Wire
(2018)This research explores ways that masculinity is depicted in the HBO series The Wire, which aired for five seasons from 2002-2008. More specifically, I examine and analyze the character of Omar Little and his portrayals ... -
"Omens of good and evidences of evil" : gender and respectability in the Thunder Bay Sentinel, 1875-1895
(2001)An exploration of late-Victorian ideals of masculinity and femininity, as well as masculine-feminine social and economic roles, through the pages of the Thunder Bay Sentinel (a weekly newspaper, Port Arthur, Ontario, ... -
On the control methedologies of a novel active vibration isolator
(2010)The work presented in this thesis is motivated by the need for new and effective methods to isolate vibrations in the rapidly growing technological sector, with particular interest in the control methodologies for active ... -
On the motion of vertical and oblique sand jets in stagnant immiscible liquids
(2019)Sand jets and particle clouds in water and viscous fluids have been a frequent subject of intense research and are pertinent to many environmental, industrial, and engineering processes. Mixing and dispersion of sand ... -
On the perfect orderability of unions of two graphs
(1996)A graph G is perfectly orderable if it admits an order < on its vertices such that the sequential coloring algorithm delivers an optimum coloring on each induced subgraph (H, <) of (G, <). A graph is a threshold graph ... -
On the spectrum G of a locally compact group G
(1999)Separation properties of the Fell topology, on the spectrum G of a locally compact group G, characterize important properties of G. We will develop three equivalent ways to describe the Fell topology on the spectrum  ... -
On-ice acceleration as a function of the Wingate anaerobic test and a biomechanical assessment of skating technique in elite ice hockey players
(2000)Success in ice hockey depends on an individual’s ability to accelerate from a standing start or change direction and continue skating quickly and efficiently. Previous research to determine those factors which had the ... -
On-line estimation of first order plus dead time process parameters based on under or over-parameterized models
(2007)Simple on-line process identification methods that can be used in tuning PID controllers or any other controllers have been studied in this work. The underlying continuous-time first order plus dead time FOPDT process model ... -
On-line optimization of thermomechanical pulping rejects screen using modified sequential simplex method
(2003)The sequential simplex method (SSM) was blended with the Nelder and Mead method to create two separate simplex methods. The first method is the Equilateral Optimum Following Simplex (EOFS). In this method, the simplex ... -
One world, one dream : comparisons of the newspaper coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games
(2009)This study compared and explored the newspaper coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympic (OG) and Paralympic Games (PG) by a Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail. The methodology for this study was mixed methods design which ... -
One-step inactivation of rpoS to investigate its role on Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation and survival
(2009)Homologous linear recombination using the recombinogenic capabilites of phage red genes exo, bet and gam, has been used increasingly to generate targeted gene replacements in Gram-negative bacteria. -
Online competency-based resident assessment for the discipline of anesthesiology: a needs assessment
(2019)In Canada, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) are implementing a model of competency-based medical education (CBME) for all specialty-training programs called Competence by Design (CBD). ... -
Online condition monitoring and fault detection in induction motor bearings
(2018)Induction motors (IMs) are commonly used in industry. Online IM health condition monitoring aims to recognize motor defect at its early stage to prevent motor performance degradation and reduce maintenance costs. The most ... -
Online learning as a social environment — toward the refinement of practice
(2023)The 2020 publication of The Distance Learning Playbook implores us to “never let a crisis go to waste” (Fisher et al., 2020, p. 169). This quote is applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis from which we continue to ... -
