The Kahnawà:ke Schools’ Diabetes Prevention Project: Perspectives on Data Sovereignty in Indigenous Community-Academic Partnered Health Research
Introduction. Data sovereignty in Indigenous research recognizes the authority of Indigenous peoples over research data and processes. Data sovereignty is an important tool for the self-determination of Indigenous communities, ... -
Karst hazard analysis towards the development of predictive karst models for southern Ontario
(2016-10-03)An investigation into karst hazard in southern Ontario has been undertaken with the intention of leading to the development of predictive karst models for this region. The reason these are not currently feasible is a lack ... -
Keeping it in the Family: The (Re-) Production of Conjugal Citizens Through Canadian Immigration Policy and Practice
(2013-03-07)This is an examination of how conjugality acts as an access point for Canadian citizenship. The conjugal family unit — married or common-law — continues to be privileged in Canadian law and policy; this is especially evident ... -
Keeping Variables within Bounds: Using Information between Observations
This research develops an econometric framework to analyze time series processes with bounds. The framework is general enough that it can incorporate several different kinds of bounding information that constrain continuous-time ... -
Kenya's cut-flowers: An unsustainable industry on Lake Naivasha
(2010-11-01)Kenya‟s cut-flower industry has been praised as an economic success as it has provided jobs, income and infrastructure for the citizens of the country. Conversely, media coverage has criticized cut-flower production for ... -

'A Kind of Logic, A Kind of Dominant Logic': Navigating Colonialism, Honoring Black Mobility, and Thinking on Moving Through
(2016-06-22)My thesis thinks through the ways Newtonian logics require linear mobility in order to produce narratives of progress. I argue that this linear mobility, and the resulting logics, potentially erases the chaotic and non-linear ... -
Kinematic controllability and motion planning for the snakeboard
(IEEE, 2003)The snakeboard is shown to be kinematically controllable. Associated with the two decoupling vector fields for the problem, a constrained static nonlinear programming problem is posed whose solutions provide a solution to ... -
Kinetic And Kinematic Adaptations To Use Of A Personal Lift Assist Device
(2008-10-02)The purpose of this work was to quantify the effect of the personal lift assist device (PLAD) on kinetic and kinematic variables commonly indentified as risk factors for low back pain (LBP). As such, three investigations ... -
Kinetic Modeling of Homo- and Co- Polymerization of Water-Soluble N-vinyl Monomers
(2011-12-22)Functional water-soluble polymers find applications in a variety of fields including waste-water treatment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, drug delivery, and hygiene. Despite the increased demand for these products, understanding ... -
Kinetics and Modeling of Free Radical Aqueous Phase Polymerization of Acrylamide with Acrylic Acid at Varying Degrees of Ionization
(2015-09-03)Water soluble polymers find applications in both consumer (e.g. superabsorbers in diapers, antiscalants in laundry detergent, and thickeners in shampoo) and industrial applications (e.g. antiscalants, antiflocculants and ... -
Kinetics, Synthesis and Characterization of copolymers containing the bio-renewable monomer g-methyl-a-methylene-g-butyrolactone (MeMBL)
(2011-04-26)The bio-renewable monomer γ-methyl-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MeMBL) has been thoroughly investigated in this thesis. MeMBL is a relatively unstudied monomer that had received little attention since the early 1980’s but ... -
