(2015)
The national Quality End-of-Life Care Coalition of Canada report advocates that professional
healthcare education must become even more important for a systems-wide approach to
handling hospice palliative and end-of-life ...
Design and testing of a permeable reactive barrier system for treatment of sulphate rich waters at the former steep rock iron mine, Atikokan, Ontario
(2015)
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the greatest challenges facing the mining industry globally. Methods for addressing this issue have been widely studied; however, few studies have addressed sites with a less common water ...
A comparison of the hydrothermal alteration systems around the Mo-hosting White Pine intrusion, Utah, and the Buckingham Porphyry, Nevada
(2015)
The White Pine Fork Mo porphyry has an estimated resource of 16 Mt of Mo at 0.1%
Mo. The host intrusions are K-feldspar- and quartz-porphyritic monzo- to syeno-granites
characterised by LREE enrichment, fractionated HREEs ...

This study investigated the genre of eco-art through a phenomenological arts-informed research project to augment current practices and inspire new art and art/science initiatives in schools and communities. Incorporating ...
Effects of nutrients conditions and solids retention time (SRT) on performance and membrane fouling of aerobic membrane bioreactors (MBRs)
(2015-10-21)
This thesis investigated the effect of chemical oxygen demand (COD) to nitrogen ratio (COD:N) in feed on the biological performance of aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR). Meanwhile, the effects of nutrients condition (COD:N ...
Modeling uncertain demand in wood pellet supply chains: a case study from Northern Ontario
(2015-08-05)
This thesis aims to enable Canadian wood pellet producers with the opportunity to offer competitive pricing through optimization of their value chains and supply chains, by employing an operational-level decision support ...
Comparing Canonical and Dicer Substrate Small Interfering RNA and Their Effects on the Silencing of Two Common Human Papillomavirus 16 E6 Variants
(2015)
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), such as HPV16, cause nearly all cases of cervical cancer as well as a number of head and neck cancers. Over expression of the E6 oncoprotein helps drive the malignant phenotype, ...
Improving Performance of Transactional Applications through Adaptive Transactional Memory
(2015)
With the rise of chip multiprocessors (CMPs), it is necessary to use parallel programming to exploit computational power of CMPs. Traditionally, lock-based mechanisms have been used to synchronize shared variables in ...
Testing local adaptation in five populations of Hyalella azteca in northern Alberta’s oil sands region
(2015)
Canada’s oil sands hold the third largest petroleum reserves worldwide. Rapid
