Wilderness risk management and YMCA camp outtripping programs
(2012-11-10)
Risk management has become a significant focus in outdoor programs. Managing risks in natural environments can be very complex, particularly since many of the risks which can cause loss are the same risks which can cause ...
In through the outdoors: exploring the role of facilitated wilderness experiences in shaping my understanding of self and my relations with other people and the other-than-human world
(2014-12-11)
I examine the role of facilitated wilderness experiences in shaping my understanding of self in relation to people and the other-than-human world through a critical qualitative approach using auto-ethnography to engage ...
Effects of aging on the neural networks underlying visuomotor adaptation
(2016)
Visuomotor adaptation is the ability to correct movements in response to an error and becomes increasingly important during the aging process when assistive devices may become necessary. Neuroimaging has observed age-related ...
Understanding the acculturation experience of First Nations workers in Northwestern Ontario's urban workforce
(2014-01-22)
I was raised in Thunder Bay, a city in Ontario, on the northwest shore of Lake Superior. During university I studied in Sweden for one year in a university with 150 other exchange students from over 21 countries. Living ...
Mental Health Literacy and Ontario Young People: Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder
(2016)
This study examined the mental health literacy of a group of young people, with particular
interest to their ability to correctly label, identify symptoms, and recommend appropriate help
sources for Major Depressive ...
Design and Development of Dual Tuned 19F and 1H RF Birdcage Coils for Small Animal MRI at 3T
(2015)
Conventional proton (1H) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally insensitive to the
lung due to the low tissue density and other complicating factors. On the other hand, inhaled
inert fluorinated gas MRI is a ...
Pinning of magnetic vortices subject to multi-well potential in the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity
(2012-11-10)
I will study the existence of multi-vortex solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations with an external potential on R2. These equations model the equilibrium states of superconductors: the external potential, W, represents ...
Analysis of improvement for turn on/off performance of the MOSFET gate drive waveform
(2012-11-10)
This thesis shows that the gate waveform of a power MOSFET driven by a specialized driver chip used in industry is imperfect and induces increased power loss in the MOSFET and lowers overall efficiency. The accurate ...
Using a novel methodology to test whether group size affects foraging behaviour in elk
(2012-11-10)
Group formation is one of the most striking patterns in the natural world.
Elk (Cervus elaphus and C. canadensis) are well known for their social and gregarious nature, but motivations for this behaviour are not fully ...
Vibration control using switchable stiffness
(2015-01-13)
Over the last decade, the switchable stiffness (SS) control strategy has seen renewed
academic interest due to the need for effective vibration control techniques. The SS control
strategy involves switching the system’s ...
