(2006)According to Pairo and Neill (2002), tobacco use has been identified as a significant risk factor in the development and progression of periodontal disease. However, throughout the literature the effects of smoking on ... -
Tool for measuring self-control in athletes
(1985)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool based on Rosenbaum's (1980) Self-Control Schedule (SCS) for measuring self-control in athletes. A questionnaire was developed which in its final form, ... -
Tool for measuring self-preserved "pressure" in athletes
(1984)The purpose of this study was to develop a practical assessment tool for measuring self-perceived "pressure", a situational variant in athletes. A checklist was developed and in its final form contained 16 items. The ... -
Toward a citizens' guide to sustainable forest management in Newfoundland and Labrador
(2000)The management of forests has dramatically changed in the past few decades. Forest managers no longer can prepare and implement forest management plans in isolation of other resource values and local citizens. Today, the ... -
Toward foodsheds: reimagining food systems in the Lake Superior watershed
(2023)The Lake Superior watershed is nested within multiple Indigenous territories, two settler-colonial nation-states, and a globalized capitalist economic system. While water flows freely, the pursuit of social and ecological ... -
Toward lightweight fusion of AI logic and EEG sensors to enable ultra edge-based EEG analytics on IoT devices
(2021)Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis has garnered attention in the research domain due to its ability to detect various neural activities starting from brain seizures to a person’s concentration level. To make it more ... -
Towards a blockchain-based trustful mechanism for IoT-enabled data trading systems
(2022)Internet of Things (IoT) devices generate and collect massive amounts of IoT data. Monetizing the flood of data generated by the IoT devices has enabled the creation of IoT data trading systems where individuals and ... -
Towards a trans pedagogy of solidarity: creating trauma-informed, anti-oppressive learning environments to support gender diverse learners
(2019)This Master of Education equips educators and school administrators who wish to better support trans and gender diverse students in the classroom and throughout the education system. This work introduces the historical ... -
Towards a trustworthy data-driven clinical decision support system: breast cancer use-case
(2023)Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has emerged as a powerful tool for health-related applications. With the increasing shortage of radiologists and oncologists around the world, developing an end-to-end AI-based Clinical ... -
Towards auction mechanisms for peer-to-peer energy trading in smart grids
(2019)The conventional energy grid is being replaced with the new emerging smart grid infras- tructure. This can be attributed to the fact that it only supports unidirectional energy ow, i.e., energy is transmitted from the ... -
Towards designing AI-aided lightweight solutions for key challenges in sensing, communication and computing layers of IoT: smart health use-cases
(2021)The advent of the 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) communication system, along with the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), have started to evolve the vision of the smart world into a ... -
Towards examining the effectiveness of boxing headguards with thermoplastic polyurethane in mitigating acceleration and risk of head injury using a dynamic head model
(2021)The sport of boxing historically symbolises a high-risk injury sport due the number of concussions occurring on athletes. Indeed, boxing has shown to have the highest rate of concussions of any individual male sport. ... -
Towards identification of progressive damage in structures under non-stationary excitation
(2018)Monitoring and retrofitting of large-scale infrastructure is of paramount importance specifically when they are subjected to natural hazards like strong wind, severe earthquakes or man-made excitation. Once the rich ... -
