Comparison of stratification and scarification methods of Sorbus decora, Vitis riparia, and Rhus typhina
(2022)
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of three methods in breaking seed
dormancy of Sorbus decora, Vitis riparia, and Rhus typhina. The treatment methods
studied were mechanical scarification with sandpaper, ...
Indirect effects of climate change and forest fragmentation on breeding bird abundance in Ontario
(2022)
From data on forest breeding bird species in the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Ontario, this thesis summarizes population changes from 1981 to 2005 and all the direct and indirect
reasons that may lead to the decline of these ...
System identification and optimization of fuzzy relation matrix models based on semi-tensor product
(2021)
Generally, in real-world engineering disciplines a dynamical system is nonlinear, having multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) variables, and high level parameter uncertainties. Although there are many approaches proposed ...
Experimental fire testing of damaged glulam beam connections retrofitted using self-tapping screws
(2022)
During the lifespan of timber buildings, structural members may exhibit different defects and/or
failures. This may include splits that develop due to shrinkage because of changes in the moisture
content of wood and/or ...
Biaxial driving technique for ultrasound generation with ferroelectric materials
(2021)
Over the years, ferroelectric materials have been used in a wide variety of applications in the health care field in applications such as thermal therapy, medical imaging and lithotripsy, just to mention some of them. One ...
Barriers to culturally safe care for Indigenous Peoples: a key informant perspective
(2021)
Health inequity for Indigenous Peoples persists on a global scale, due to the ongoing
impacts of colonization. Racism, power dynamics, and health professionals with limited

Changing channels: altering the dis-course of “invasive” species education
(2022)
This portfolio is focused on two discourses around "invasive" species, namely the
dominant Western science narratives that emphasize elimination, control, and management and
an Indigenous perspective that takes a longer ...
Evaluation of Anti-E6 Single Domain Antibodies for the Treatment of Human Papillomavirus-related Cancer
(2022)
The HPV16 genome encodes two oncoproteins, E6 and E7, which are essential for viral
carcinogenesis. While E7 promotes cell proliferation, E6 abolishes the resulting p53-dependent
apoptotic response. We hypothesized that ...
