(BMC Emergency Medicine, 2009-09-21)Paramedics are responsible for the care of patients requiring emergency assistance in the out of hospital setting. These health care providers need to make many decisions during the course of an emergency call. This thesis ... -
Parameter Estimation for Nonlinear State Space Models
(2012-04-24)This thesis explores the methodology of state, and in particular, parameter estimation for time series datasets. Various approaches are investigated that are suitable for nonlinear models and non-Gaussian observations ... -
Parameter, State and Uncertainty Estimation for 3-dimensional Biological Ocean Models
(2012-08-23)Realistic physical-biological ocean models pose challenges to statistical techniques due to their complexity, nonlinearity and high dimensionality. In this thesis, statistical data assimilation techniques for parameter and ... -
Parameterization of ice crystal properties and liquid fraction in extra-tropical stratiform clouds.

PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE SHOCK RESPONSE OF A SYSTEM OF TWO SUBMERGED CO-AXIAL CYLINDRICAL SHELLS COUPLED BY THE INTER-SHELL FLUID
(2015)A semi-analytical methodology based on classical mathematical physics is used to simulate the shock response of a submerged system consisting of two co-axial cylindrical shells coupled with a fluid filling the inter-shell ... -
PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF COMPETING RISKS MODELS
(2020-04-13)Competing risks refers to the phenomenon where an object or individual is subject to multiple risks that are competing to destroy the object or individual, where the occurrence of one of these risks precludes the occurrence ... -
Parent and Early Childhood Educator Perceptions of Physical Health and Well-being in the Early Years
(2019-08-07)Early childhood development is a determinant of health. Parents and early childhood educators (ECEs) have an important role in influencing development during this timeframe. The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is widely ... -
PARENT/CAREGIVER INVOLVEMENT TO MANAGE PAIN IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA
(2015)Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia experience pain from the disease, treatment and procedures. Parents can be effective in managing their child’s pain but little is known about how they learn to do this. This ... -
Parental Prevention of Newborn Pain: An Evaluation of an eHealth Learning Platform to Determine Acceptability, Feasibility and Utilization of Parent-Led Pain Management
(2023-04-01)Introduction: Despite strong evidence supporting the efficacy of parent-led pain management (PLPM; e.g., breastfeeding) during procedures (e.g., injections), parents remain an underutilized resource. This dissertation ... -
Parents' Perceptions of Health Care Professionals' Support in the Transition of their Adolescent with Rheumatic Disease from Pediatric to Adult Care
(2014-12-15)Youth with a chronic disease must prepare for the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. Parents play a vital role in supporting their youth through the transition process. Using Appreciative Inquiry, interviews ... -
A Park of Process: A Morphogenetic Approach for Sensory Microclimates
(2020-04-30)This thesis proposes a place for architectural experimentation and public experience; a place to spread ideas through an approach to making: “a park of process.” The morphogenetic model, which relies on material properties ... -
Parkland in Support of Biodiversity
(2010-12-20)The Great Lakes of North America hold about one fifth of global surface fresh water excluding glaciers. These watersheds have experienced environmental stress due to dumping of sewage and industrial waste, as well as ... -
