R v NS 2012 SCC 72 – Assessing the Contours of the Freedom to Wear the Niqab in Canada
(2013-10-02)This thesis uses the recently decided R v NS to assess the contours of the freedom to wear the niqab, as part of religious freedom, in Canada. By criticizing the majority and concurring opinions I argue that, properly ... -
Racking Up The Twitter Points: How Professional Hockey Player Identities Are Affected By Twitter Usage
(2014-04-28)In this thesis, I examine the use of Twitter by NHL athletes to determine how and in what ways professional hockey players’ personal and professional identities are shaped by their use of this medium. I explore the current ... -
RAD9A STABILIZATION AND DESTABILIZATION PROCESSES IN CHECKPOINT MAINTENANCE AND CHECKPOINT RECOVERY
(2015-11-30)The phosphorylation of the sensor-checkpoint Rad9A is essential for Chk1 activation in S-phase and during the G2/M checkpoints. Previous studies have demonstrated a late phosphorylation of Rad9A after DNA damage. Rad9A ... -
A radial basis memory model for human maze learning
(2008-06-30)This research develops a memory model capable of performing in a human-like fashion on a maze traversal task. The model is based on and retains the underlying ideas of Minerva 2 but is executed with different mathematical ... -
Radiation Damage Effect on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of X-750 Ni-based Superalloy
Inconel X-750 is an age-hardened Ni-based superalloy with high mechanical strength and creep resistance. The X-750 alloy is extensively used in the cores of reactors, such as spacers in CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) ... -
Radical Ambition: A Portrait of the Toronto New Left, 1958-1985
(2016-10-03)This thesis examines the rise and decline of the New Left in Toronto from 1958 to 1985. It argues that New Leftism — whose three leading ideals were self-management, national liberation, and community — arose as much from ... -
Radical Polymerization of Bio-Renewable Butyrolactone Monomers
In this study, a bio-derived monomer, -methyl--methylene--butyrolactone (MeMBL) was saponified with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to make the water-soluble monomer sodium 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-methylene butanoate (SHMeMB), ... -
Radical-mediated modification of polyolefins: investigation of the synthesis of graft copolymers
(2008-05-08)A range of strategies exist for the production of polyolefin block copolymers with well-defined morphologies for the compatibilization of immiscible blends; however, high sensitivity to impurities and use of expensive ... -
Radio Continuum Imaging of the Massive Edge-on Galaxy NGC 2613
We present the results of new, high sensitivity continuum imaging of NGC 2613, a massive edge-on galaxy 23.4 Mpc away. The high-resolution EVLA maps of NGC 2613 were observed at C-band (C-array and D-array) and L-band ... -
Radio frequency direct-digital QPSK modulators in CMOS technology
(2007-09-28)In this thesis, novel direct-digital Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulators are proposed in low-cost Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology for radio frequency (RF) wireless applications. ... -
Radio Frequency Identification as Surveillance: A Critical Analysis of Myth and Risk in an Emerging Technology
(2011-11-02)Radiofrequency identification (RIFD) is a significant player in the spread of computation out of the box and into the environment and is becoming a key component in what some have titled the “digital era”. In its capacity ... -
Radio Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks
(2016-03-22)Inexpensive connectivity and computing power have caused the number of communicating devices to explode in the last decade. New applications are emerging every day to take advantage of the proximity and abundance of these ... -
Radiopurity measurement of acrylic for the DEAP-3600 dark matter experiment
(2014-01-16)The liquid argon target of the DEAP-3600 dark matter detector is contained by an extremely radiopure acrylic vessel. Alpha decays from the inner surface of the acrylic vessel are a source of background. If a fraction of ... -
Radioreduction and Radiopurity of Acrylic in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Experiment
The DEAP-3600 experiment is a single-phase liquid argon dark matter detector employing pulse discrimination to mitigate background-like events and isolate WIMP-like events. The vessel that holds 3600~kg of target, and the ... -
Radon Background Reduction in DEAP-1 and DEAP-3600
(2011-01-10)The Dark Matter Experiment with Liquid Argon Using Pulse Shape Discrim- ination (DEAP) is a dark matter experiment based in the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury, Ontario. Its aim is to detect WIMPs, Weakly Interacting Massive ... -
