Quantile-based reliability analysis and design in slope stability
(2018)
The study and analysis of slopes are essential for understanding their performance and,
in particular, their stability, reliability, and deformations. Traditional slope stability analysis
involves predicting the location ...
Comparing the effects of two proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching techniques and static stretching on active knee extension range of motion and vertical jump performance
(2018)
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching has often been identified as an effective stretching technique for improving range of motion (ROM) prior to exercise. The two PNF stretching techniques that are ...
Reversibility of PVDF membrane performance and structure caused by cold water temperature and elevated conditioning water temperature
(2018)
Thousands of dollars are wasted each year due to the impact that cold temperature has on membrane filters. There are many areas around the world that are subjected to cold climate, and the study of how cold temperature has ...
UWB localization for autonomous indoor position control of VTOL UAVs
(2018)
As the popularity of quadrotor Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) grows, the need for reliable position estimation and control grows as well. Furthermore, with the size of these quadrotors ...
Geochemistry of shallow and deep water archean meta-iron formations and their post-depositional alteration in western Superior Province, Canada
(2018)
One purpose for studying banded meta-iron formations is to determine the chemical composition of
seawater in the Archean ocean and the oxygen content of the Archean oceanic-atmospheric system.
Geologists use the geochemistry ...
Self-concept integration and its relationship with resilience and well-being
(2018)
The overall purpose of the study was to evaluate if three forms of self-concept integration (i.e., authenticity, consistency, and valence/evaluative integration) relate to resilience and well-being. Additionally, the study ...
A social ecological exploration of community adult playground use among seniors in Northern Ontario
(2018)
Modifications to the built environment have recently gained momentum as an important method
of supporting community wellbeing and physical activity. Outdoor adult playgrounds (OAPs) are
one example of a physical activity ...
Correspondence rules in SU (3)
(2018)
In this thesis, I present a path to the correspondence rules for the generators of the su(3) symmetry and
compare my results with the SU(2) correspondence rules. Using these rules, I obtain analytical expressions
for the ...
Sport perfectionism and risk factors of sport injury rehabilitation overadherence
(2018)
Rehabilitation overadherence is a form of nonadherence in which individuals exceed
practitioners’ guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of their injury, resulting in enhanced risk for
re-injury and prolonged recovery ...
We are more than missing and murdered: the healing power of re-writing, re-claiming and re-presenting
(2018)
This study explores remembrances (life stories) of Jane Bernard as shared by her daughter (my Nokomis) to her granddaughter (the researcher). I investigate how intergenerational learning through letter writing for remembrance ...
