Lewis on the Construction of Worlds: the Metaphysical, Epistemic and Practical Costs of Modal Realism
This thesis considers the metaphysics and logic of modalities. In the first section, I give a background to modal realism and present Lewis’ motivations for proposing such a view. In the second section, I explain what it ... -
Divergent Synthesis of B, N, B-doped [4]Helicenes as Efficient Luminescent Materials
We herein developed a synthetic method to access new B, N, B-doped derivatives of [4]helicene in three steps from commercially available starting material. The key synthetic step comprises in an advanced version of a Friedel ... -
Reconstruction of Heterogeneous Scattering Media
A scattering medium is a material in which light does not travel in straight paths. The light travels a certain distance, changes direction, and has a chance of being absorbed by the medium. Three coefficients and a phase ... -
Shear Transfer Strength of Concrete After Exposure to Elevated Temperature
The most consumed construction material in the world, concrete, is largely composed of coarse aggregate. Thus, the physical and mechanical properties of aggregates play a significant role in determining the performance of ... -
Can genomic tools aid conservation of an arctic seabird, the northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis)?
Human activities and climate change threaten Arctic ecosystems. Population genetics and genomics may help conservationists appropriately manage threatened species both by (1) determining the population genetic structure ... -
Geological Controls on Strainbursting in Deep Mining Drifts
Strainbursts are sudden dynamic failures of rock that pose a serious hazard to mine workers and mine production. The current state of research is limited, and it is not possible to identify when, where, and particulars ... -
Investigating the Role of Camp-Signaling in the Regulation of Angiogenic Sprouting
Angiogenesis, the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vascular structures, can contribute adaptively or mal-adaptively to a myriad of conditions, including ischemic heart disease and cancer. During angiogenic sprouting, ... -
Preparing Elementary Preservice Teachers to Integrate Information and Communications Technology in Teaching and Learning: Exploring the Intended, Enacted, and Experienced Curriculum
The goal of this case study was to understand and identify the supporting factors to prepare elementary preservice teachers to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching and learning. My interest ... -
Leveraging the Social Knowledge of Software Systems to Improve the Development Process
The software development process is steadily evolving into a collaborative, distributed, and knowledge-intensive venture. This evolution has led to growing demands towards supportive technologies and tools. These demands ... -
Using Microfluidics to Study Magnetotactic Bacteria
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the swimming behavior of magnetotactic bacteria 1) in flow conditions and 2) in porous media; and further 3) to exploit their unique characteristics towards bio-actuation of ... -
Ruin and Redemption: Losing and Regaining Honour in the Canadian Officer Corps, 1914—1945
This dissertation is the first comprehensive study to trace the evolution of military dishonour and dismissal from an historical perspective in the Canadian armed forces during the First and Second World Wars. Using extensive ... -
Reducing Diagnostic Uncertainty in First-Episode Psychosis: A Neuropsychological Approach to Differentiating between Cannabis-Induced and Primary Psychotic Disorders
Background: Cannabis use is highly comorbid with psychotic disorders, especially among young people experiencing their first episode of psychosis. The high rate of cannabis use in this population has led to uncertainty ... -
Model-Level Debugging in the Context of the Model-Driven Development
Model-driven Development (MDD) is a software development approach that advocates using models rather than source code. MDD can decrease complexity by raising the level of abstraction, and increase productivity by automation, ... -
Exploring Photochemical and Redox Reactivity of Four-Coordinated Organoboron Compounds
The works described herein are broadly concerned with exploring the characteristic reactivities and properties of four-coordinated organoboron systems, to fully understand and cultivate their utility and applicability. In ... -
A Methodological Reconsideration of Early English-Indigenous Communication in Sixteenth Century Northeastern America
In August 1576 five men serving the Elizabethan explorer Martin Frobisher disappeared following an Inuk guide at Baffin Island. Over the next two years the English tried various methods of communication with the Inuit – ... -
On an Emerging Paradigm of Tepid Stars: Assessing the Magnetic Desert and the Magnetic Origin of Surprisingly Common Star Spots
The past decade has seen several significant shifts in the field of stellar magnetism, particularly on the observational front. A new generation of dramatically more efficient, high-resolution spectropolarimetric instruments ... -
The Role of Cooling Rate on Microstructure in Sand-Cast Aluminum A205
Modern aerospace castings consist of highly complex geometries that require solidification simulations to optimize fill pathways so to control the thermal evolution and thus microstructure during solidification. Accurate ... -
Fabrication and Optimization of Organic FET and Organic Electrolyte Gated FET Devices for Applications as Label-free Biosensors
Organic Thin-Film Transistors are carbon-based semiconductor devices. Their simple fabrication makes them an ideal candidate for disposable, wearable technologies; an implementation being aptamer-based biosensors. This ... -
Biosynthesis of Fluorinated Natural Product Nucleocidin
Nucleocidin is a fluorinated adenosine analogue produced by Streptomyces calvus. It is one of only six known fluorinated natural products. The 4’-fluorine substituent on nucleocidin requires a unique two-step fluorination ...
