Corporal Punishment Bans, Childhood Adversity, and Adolescent Suicide Rates: An International Ecological Study
Corporal punishment is associated with poor mental health outcomes, including suicidal behaviour, in adolescents. At a population level, legislation banning corporal punishment is associated with many health outcomes in ... -
Determination of Nickel and Platinum Species in Electrolyte Solutions With Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Coupled to Cation Exchange Chromatography
Two methods utilizing cation exchange chromatography (CEC) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) were developed in this thesis. The first method, for direct determination of trace nickel concentrations ... -
PKA INHIBITION DURING FGD1 DYSREGULATION UNMASKS A DOMINANT ROLE FOR RHOGDI⍺ IN COORDINATING THE ANGIOGENIC ACTIONS OF CDC42
Angiogenic sprouting, the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, underlies normal development, but its dysregulation contributes to the pathologies of life-threatening medical conditions, including cancer ... -
EVALUATING THE GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOTA OF HOSPITALIZED NEONATES USING CULTUROMICS AND METAGENOMICS
Background: The developing gastrointestinal microbiota (GIM) of neonates plays an important role in long and short-term health. ‘Culturomics’, the use of specialized media in conjunction with metagenomics has the potential ... -
Comparison and Continuity Properties of Equilibrium Values in Information Structures for Stochastic Games
In stochastic games where players measure a cost-relevant exogenous state variable through measurement channels, an information structure is the joint probability measure induced on the state space and player measurement ... -
Down the TikTok Rabbit Hole: Testing the TikTok Algorithm’s Contribution to Right Wing Extremist Radicalization
(EN) Using a new moderately conservative TikTok profile, and insight from an auto-ethnographic exploration, this study suggests TikTok’s loose guidelines, inaction, and recommendation algorithms have the potential to ... -
The Storms We Weather: Exploring Early Primary Mental Health Programs and Resources in Canada
(2022-06)My final research project is divided into three sections: a review of the literature and an environmental scan reviewing Canadian mental health programs, the development of a children’s book, and a supplemental resource ... -
Moral Phenomenology in a More-Than-Human World: A New Approach to Buddhist Environmental Ethics
This dissertation works to accomplish two goals. First, it defends Jay Garfield’s interpretation of Buddhist ethics as a moral phenomenology and develops this ethical system through the Tibetan framework of lta sgom spyod ... -
Avionics Network Anomaly Detection through True-Skip Learning
MIL-STD-1553 is a communication bus that has been used by many military avionics platforms such as the F-15 and F-35 fighter jets for almost 50 years. Recently, it has become clear that the lack of security on MIL-STD-1553 ... -
Design and Validation of an Open-Source 3D Printable Bioreactor System for Ex Vivo Bone Culture
In Canada, osteoporosis is a prevailing skeletal disease that is underdiagnosed and undertreated, with an annual economic cost of $4.6 billion. Trabecular bone is widely understood to undergo modelling and remodelling in ... -
FEMALE RISK FACTORS FOR POST-INFARCTION DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY: THE FRIDA STUDY
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of mortality, with ischemic heart disease causing the majority of CV deaths. CVD is traditionally considered to be most prominent in males. Yet, female patients ... -
Online Learning in Control Theory
In this thesis, we study two classes of problems in optimal control theory involving unknown parameters, with focus on Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian systems. In the first problem, the control system is known and linear, and ... -

(2022-06-16)In Canada, only 20% of children use active modes of travel to get to and from school (Cottagiri et al., 2021). To address children’s growing automobile dependency, many cities are introducing initiatives and programming ... -
Investigating the Role of Neuropeptide Receptors npr-16 and npr-24 in Caenorhabditis elegans
The conserved neuropeptide signaling pathway in C. elegans provides a promising opportunity to further advance our knowledge regarding the molecular basis of behaviour and physiology in higher organisms while paving the ... -
Investigating the Interplay Between Endothelial BMPR2 Loss, Interleukin-15 Signaling, and Sex Hormones in the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of occlusive vascular remodeling, resulting in increased resistance in the lungs vasculature, progressive decrease in cardiac output, and eventually death from right heart ... -
Transformations of Phosphonates by Non-Heme Iron-Dependent Oxygenases
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is an essential requirement of all life forms; however, Pi is not present in high abundance in the environment. This has driven microorganisms to evolve enzymes that cleave carbon-phosphorus (C-P) ... -
