Adipose tissue remodeling in response to corticosterone and β3-adrenergic receptor agonist mirabegron
(2022)
With the rise of metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes, the need to investigate one
of the most dynamic endocrine organs is critical for combating these diseases. Adipose tissue (AT) exists
predominantly ...
Relationships between executive functions and alcohol-related consequences among undergraduates
(2022)
University students in Canada endorse higher levels of alcohol consumption than their noncollege peers. This heavy drinking carries with it the risk of adverse consequences, including
physical injuries, academic struggles, ...
Hybrid deep learning with stacked dilated causal convolutions for health forecasting using multivariate time-series data
(2022)
Health forecasting using time-series data facilitates preventive medicine and healthcare interventions by predicting future health events. This thesis introduces a novel
hybrid deep-learning architecture for health ...
An intelligent system for fault diagnosis in gearboxes
(2022)
Gearboxes are commonly used in rotating machinery for power transmission. A gearbox consists
of shafts, gears, and bearings, each component having specific mechanical dynamics and fault
properties. Reliable gearbox fault ...
A record of transpression-related brittle-ductile deformation and associated alteration within granitoid plutons of the Wabigoon subprovince, Superior Province
(2022)
The Wabigoon subprovince is a 900 km long by 150 km wide Archean-aged granite
greenstone belt. Large, synvolcanic batholiths with smaller late to post-tectonic stocks cut the
numerous greenstone belts of the subprovince. ...
Genetic variation of functional traits related to drought tolerance in yellow birch seedlings
(2022)
Understanding patterns of variation in drought-related traits of hardwood trees is crucial
for conserving and managing North American temperate forests under climate change.
In this study, I examined provenance variation ...
Intra-limb coordination and control in individuals with stroke. Conceptual and methodological considerations
(2022)
Stroke results in substantial difficulties in reaching and grasping actions, which may
emerge at different levels of coordination and control, in both the spatial and temporal domains.
In the context of motor control, ...
“Awe- Shucks”: uncovering the relationship between awe and domains of humility
(2022)
The current study sought to examine the relationship between awe (both valences) and domains
of humility. In a preregistered study, 268 participants completed an online questionnaire with 12
measures of humility (ethical, ...
Expansion of the applicability of the Truce-Smiles rearrangement
(2022)
The Truce-Smiles rearrangement is a synthetically useful and easily performed reaction
which can be used to condense multiple steps of a synthesis. The nucleophilic aromatic
substitution in this reaction produces a chiral ...
Interactive effects of elevated CO2 and temperature, nutrition, and ectomycorrhizas on morphological traits and summer shoot formation in jack pine
(2022)
Understanding the responses of trees, ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) and their association to
climate change can be challenging due to their interactions with multiple environmental factors.
The combined impacts of elevated ...
