Comparison of the Physical Internet and the Traditional Distribution System with Carbon Footprint
(2023-08-29)The Physical Internet (PI) is based on the technology and organizational structure of the Internet, abstracting the characteristics from the Internet and then applying them to logistics systems. The Physical Internet (PI) ... -
A comparison of the sequential processing abilities of dyslexic and normal readers, using visual and auditory tasks.
(Dalhousie University, 1993) -
A Comparison of Traversal Strategies for Tangled Program Graphs under the Arcade Learning Environment
(2021-04-27)Tangled program graphs provides a framework for constructing modular genetic programming solutions to visual reinforcement learning tasks. In order to guard against the development of cycles within the resulting graph, and ... -
Comparison of Two Methods to Correct for Non-differential Misclassification in Meta-analysis
(2019-08-23)Like all data, administrative health data are susceptible to bias. In this project I focus on bias due to misclassification of disease outcome in the context of a meta-analysis. I propose a novel approach to random effects ... -
A COMPARISON OF VIABILITY AND VITALITY TESTING METHODS AFTER BENCH SCALE UV- AND HEAT-TREATMENT OF THE DIATOM THALASSIOSIRA WEISSFLOGII
(2021-05-05)Thalassiosira weissflogii, a marine diatom, was inactivated using two bench-scale treatment methods: ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) and a water bath (50°C). After treatment with either UV-C or heat, and a 24-hour dark ... -
Comparisons Between Parkinson’s Disease Patients and At-Risk Individuals: Can Olfactory Deficits, Cognitive Measures, and Brain Network Connectivity Serve as Preclinical Markers?
(2021-08-23)Although olfactory deficits (hyposmia) are potential early markers of Parkinson’s disease (PD), they are not specific to PD. This study examined whether cognitive deficits and/or aberrant resting-state functional connectivity ... -
Competing Influences Of The Tumor Microenvironment On CD26 And The Cancer Phenotype Of Colorectal Carcinoma Cells
(2013-05-01)In Canada, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. There are many different factors that contribute to the progression and spread of the disease. However, increasing evidence ... -
COMPILING PROGRAMS FOR AN ADIABATIC QUANTUM COMPUTER
(2014-08-14)A method for compiling programs for adiabatic quantum computers is described, and the resulting programs evaluated on a physically implemented adiabatic quantum machine. These results are used to characterize the performance ... -
Complacency and Motivational Vice
(2016-05-31)What does it mean to be complacent with respect to especially complex ecological and social problems such as global climate change? Although those who are engaged on such problems tend to recognize complacency as a serious ... -
Complement activation does not play a direct role in model chemotherapeutic - induced mucositis
(2023-08-01)Chemotherapeutic agents are highly efficient in the treatment of various cancers; however, many of the drugs also lead to unwanted toxicities. “Mucositis” describes the injury caused by these cytotoxic agents to the healthy ... -
COMPLEMENTING DEFICIENT BUG REPORTS WITH MISSING INFORMATION LEVERAGING NEURAL TEXT GENERATION
(2023-12-28)Software bug reports often lack crucial information (e.g., steps to reproduce, expected behaviour), which makes bug resolution challenging. A recent study found that 78% of bug reports from open-source projects (e.g., ... -
COMPLEX DYNAMICS OF LOCALIZED PATTERNS IN REACTION-DIFFUSION SYSTEMS
(2017-08-21)In this thesis we study complex dynamics of the localized patterns that occur in certain partial differential equations. We study three different types of localized patterns: interfaces in one dimension, spots in two and ... -
The complex kaposin locus of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus: defining a new role in the lytic viral replication cycle
(2019-04-02)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent of the endothelial cell (EC) cancer, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and two B-cell malignancies. In infected cells, the virus exists in two states; the latent program ... -

Composition and Structure Dependence of the Photoelastic Response of Oxide Glass
(2011-08-19)The isotropy of a glass can be broken by the application of a mechanical stress giving rise to a phenomenon of birefringence. Some lead-containing glass compositions are known to prevent this phenomenon and they are called ... -
COMPOSITIONAL AND FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LI-ION CELL ELECTROLYTES
(2020-08-25)The electrolyte is crucial to successful lithium ion cell operation. The composition, including the solvents and additives used will dictate how long the cell lasts. There are only a few studies that study the electrolytes ... -
COMPOSITION–PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS IN MULTICOMPONENT GERMANIUM–BASED POLYALKENOATE CEMENTS
