Collage of the Senses: Healing Devices for Transitional Pediatric Care in Calgary, Alberta
(2022-04-11)The current approach to pediatric healthcare design throughout North America produces three care scales: hospitals, clinics, and home care services. These forms of healthcare architecture often fail to create spaces that ... -
Collagen fibrils from physiologically distinct tendons follow unique paths to failure
(2016-11-18)The collagen fibril is a fundamental unit in the mammalian class, providing strength and structure to various tissues. Here, I investigated the mechanical, morphological, and molecular properties of isolated collagen fibrils ... -
Collective Housing: Linking Ecological and Social Sustainability
(2011-12-14)A constellation of challenges, including changing family types and shrinking household size, housing affordability, and ecological impact, can be addressed through a different approach to private dwelling. These are ... -
The Collins Farm: Grassland Management, Shepherding, and Textile Production in Nova Scotia, 1767-1829
(2023-07-27)Louisa Collins, the daughter of a farmer living in rural Nova Scotia at the turn of the 19th-century, kept a diary during the summer, fall and winter of 1815 to 1816, which gives a window into the world of pre-industrial, ... -
Colonial Office policy and the origins of decolonisation in Uganda, 1940-1956.

Colonial Sentiments: Examining Canadian Depictions of Indigenous Suicide
(2020-08-25)Colonialism has long impacted the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada and has had an unquestionable relationship with Indigenous suicide rates. In this thesis I hypothesized that contrary to popular conceptions, forms ... -
Color inheritance and inbreeding in American mink.
(2023-08-18)The intensive phenotypic selection commonly practiced in mink farms that is mostly color driven, might lead to the selection and mating of genetically similar individuals resulting in reduction of fitness traits. In this ... -
Combination Drug Discovery in the Treatment of Multidrug-resistant Preclinical Models of Breast Cancer
(2021-11-15)Therapeutic resistance is the culprit behind most cancer-related relapse and death, accounting for over 90% chemotherapeutic intervention failures. To combat the genetic and phenotypical abnormalities associated with ... -
A Combination Hyaluronic Acid-Collagen Fiber Scaffold for Tympanic Membrane Repair
(2022-08-26)Tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) can cause recurrent ear infections and chronic TMP. Treatments designed to repair TMP involve reconstruction of the TM with autologous tissue grafts. These autologous grafts have ... -
Combination of brown seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and butyric acid as in-feed growth and health promoters in broiler chickens
(2021-08-26)Canada’s broiler industry is transitioning away from the reliance of in-feed antibiotics, and investigations of alternative feed ingredients to in-feed antibiotics is required. The purpose of these studies was to determine ... -
The combinatorial algorithm for computing pi(x)
(2015)This thesis describes recent advances in the combinatorial method for computing pi(x), the number of primes less-than or equal-to x. In particular, the memory usage has been reduced by a factor of log x, and modifications ... -
Combinatorial Studies of Fe-Zn and Fe-Si-Zn Alloy Negative Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries
(2014-09-03)In this work Fe-Zn and Fe-Si-Zn alloy systems were studied for use as negative electrodes in Li-ion batteries. The aim was to understand the electrochemistry of these alloy systems and observe if the addition of Fe and ... -
Combinatorial studies of silicon-based alloy negatives for lithium-ion batteries.
