EARLY LENS ABLATION CAUSES DRAMATIC LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE BONES OF THE CRANIOFACIAL SKELETON OF THE MEXICAN TETRA, ASTYANAX MEXICANUS
(2013-04-30)
The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, exists as two morphs of a single species, a sighted surface morph and a blind cavefish. In addition to eye regression, cavefish have an increased number of taste buds, maxillary teeth ...
Three Essays on Determinants of Child Developmental Outcomes
(2013-05-01)
This dissertation consists of three essays examining the determinants of child developmental outcomes using the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). The first essay estimates the relationship ...
Macro Synthetic Fiber Addition To Concrete Marine Structures In Freeze Thaw Environments
(2012-10-23)
Concrete marine structures are typically exposed to harsh marine environments where the ingress of chloride ions can lead to corrosion of steel reinforcing bars, reducing both strength and service life; therefore, concrete ...
POWDER METALLURGICAL PROCESSING OF TITANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS
(2011-09-06)
Titanium is well known for its excellent properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding corrosion resistance. However the high cost of this metal has confined its applications to those mostly within the ...
A Chilling Embrace : Workholding With Ice
(2012-03-27)
This thesis explores the usage of ice as a fixturing medium in CNC machining of fragile components. Ice is used both as an adhesive and a potting compound to hold and support work during cutting. Measurements of ice adhesion ...
Analogues of the Binomial Coefficient Theorems of Gauss and Jacobi
(2014-03-31)
Two of the more well known congruences for binomial coefficients modulo p, due to Gauss and Jacobi, are related to the representation of an odd prime (or an integer multiple of the odd prime) p as a sum of two squares (or ...
