Power Series for Normal Stress Differences of Polymeric Liquids in Large-Amplitude Oscillator Shear Flow
(2018-04)Exact solutions for normal stress differences in polymeric liquids subjected to largeamplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS) contain many Bessel functions, each appearing in infinite sums. For the simplest relevant model ... -
Series Expansion for Shear Stress in Large-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear Flow From Oldroyd 8-Constant Framework
(2018-06)When polymeric liquids undergo large-amplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS), the shear stress responds as a Fourier series, the higher harmonics of which are caused by the fluid nonlinearity, and the first harmonic of ... -
Exact Coefficients for Rigid Dumbbell Suspensions for Steady Shear Flow Material Function Expansions
(2008-07)From kinetic molecular theory, we can attribute the elasticity of polymeric liquids to macromolecular orientation. For a suspension of rigid dumbbells, subject to a particular flow field, we must first solve the diffusion ... -
Degradation in Parallel-Disk Rheometry
(2018-08)We analyze quantitatively the oxidative degradation of a sample in a parallel-disk rheometer, as oxygen diffuses inward, radially, from the free boundary. We examine rheometer error mitigation by means of nitrogen blanketing, ... -
Exploring Epigenetic Drug Discovery Using Computational Approaches
The misregulation of epigenetic mechanisms has been linked to disease. Current drugs that treat these dysfunctions have had some success, however many have variable potency, instability in vivo and lack target specificity. ... -

Complicating the Narrative: Representation, Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis, and Witnessing
(2019-03-11)Refugee and forced migrant issues have emerged as part of the nation’s consciousness with the rising number of asylum seekers arriving in European countries, the uncertainty over the position of undocumented migrants in ... -
Research Impact Responsibilities: Policy Alternatives for Canada
(2019-03-11)How research evidence comes to have impacts in academic and nonacademic arenas is increasingly becoming a focal point in scholarly discourse across scholarly disciplines and jurisdictional boundaries. However, despite the ... -
The Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Duncan McArthur Hall: 50 Years of Scholarship at Queen’s University Faculty of Education
(2019-03-11)In 1968, the Queen’s University Faculty of Education at Duncan McArthur Hall began to educate professional teachers in an effort to solve the crisis caused by the dramatic increase in Canada’s population during the baby ... -
Hot Passion Versus Cold Reason: An Expectancy-Value-Cost Conceptualization of What Motivates Partisanship Versus Rationality
(2019-03-11)It is about as fashionable as it has ever been to disagree with objective fact. Being right is to some a matter of opinion rather than a position within reality. Volume seems to drown out reason. This paper is not an ... -
Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourning: Leadership Lessons from some Youth Thespians
(2019-03-11)The development of youth agency and leadership skills offers many long-term benefits. This paper analyses an experimental high school action theatre project in the American Midwest, entitled Beyond the Borders (BTB), through ... -
Characterization of Strain Rate Sensitivity, Plastic Anisotropy, and Dislocation Content in Zircaloy-2
Zirconium alloys are used broadly throughout the nuclear industry due to a combination of its mechanical properties, low neutron absorption cross section, and resistance to corrosion. Understanding the process of plastic ... -
A Secure Keyless Entry System Based on Contextual Information
Proximity identification has been widely used in access control systems. These systems, in particular Passive Keyless Entry and Start systems (PKES) for high-end automobiles, allow drivers to unlock their vehicles by ... -
Occupational Therapy and Operational Stress Injuries
(2016)Canadian military personnel work in unique circumstances compared to the general Canadian population, and, through work-related exposures, may acquire both physical and mental injuries. Military personnel often perform job ... -
Orientation Distribution Function Pattern for Rigid Dumbell Suspensions In Any Simply Shear Flow
(2018-09)For rigid dumbbells suspended in a Newtonian solvent, the viscoelastic response depends exclusively on the dynamics of dumbbell orientation. The orientation distribution function ψ (θ ,φ ,t) represents the probability of ... -
Occupational therapy: Addressing performance and participation issues for military personnel, Veterans and their families
(2016)Occupational therapists bring a distinctive perspective to the health and well-being of military personnel and Veterans. Occupational therapy’s emphasis on participation, finding meaning and purpose in activities, time use ... -
Page or Stage: Reading Shakespeare Comics as Performance
While previous scholarship concerning Shakespeare comics has considered their pedagogical function as teaching tools to make Shakespeare more accessible or their role in preserving Shakespeare’s place within the popular ... -
Roles of Physical and Mental Health in Suicidal Ideation in Canadian Armed Forces Regular Force Veterans
(2014)OBJECTIVES: Suicide in recent veterans is an international concern. An association between mental disorders and suicide has been established, but lessinformation is available about an association between physical health ... -
Mode I Fracture Testing on Zirconium Foils Under Plane-stress Condition
Zirconium alloys are commonly used in nuclear reactor in-core components due to their good mechanical properties and low neutron-absorption cross-section. Especially for CANada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors, zirconium ... -
Is Daoism Green? Engaging Daoist Responses to Environmental Challenges in China
This paper seeks to examine the role that Daoism is playing in environmental activism in China. It analyzes a variety of sources including academic literature, primary source material from Daoist groups and my own research ...
