(2013-03-25)
Organizations are attempting to leverage their knowledge resources by integrating knowledge sharing systems, a key and new form of which are social computing tools. A large number of these initiatives fail, however, due ...
STRUCTURAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF SILICON- AND CARBON-BASED MATERIALS FOR LI-ION BATTERY APPLICATIONS
(2013-12-04)
Four topics are presented in this thesis. Firstly, a new design for a combinatorial electrochemical cell plate based on circuit board technology is described. The new combinatorial cell plate was tested using sputtered ...
UTILIZATION OF RECYCLED PLASTICS AS BINDER MODIFIERS FOR USE IN HOT-MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENT
(2013-12-11)
Atlantic Canadian highways are vulnerable to impacts of climate change, including more frequent cycles of both wetting and drying, and freezing and thawing. These climate impacts coupled with continued increases in truck ...
Solar Occultation Imaging of Dust in the Martian Atmosphere
(2012-12-14)
As part of the ExoMars space programme, the 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter mission was announced. The Martian Atmospheric Trace Molecule Occultation Spectrometer (MATMOS) was a proposed Fourier transform spectrometer and solar ...

(2014-08-25)
This thesis critically examines the rift between cultural relativism and universalism in international human rights discourse with specific reference to human rights violations in Africa. It specifically makes the case for ...
The Chemerin Receptor GPR1 Signals Through a RhoA/ROCK Pathway and Contributes to Glucose Homeostasis in Obese Mice
(2015-04-02)
Chemerin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates adipose tissue development, immunity, metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. To date, all chemerin function has been attributed to activation of the G protein-coupled ...

(2012-08-22)
The Kiosk domain in the Central Gneiss Belt, southwestern Grenville Province, Ontario comprises ca.1655 Ma orthogneisses and volumetrically minor ca. 1480-1460 Ma parag- neisses that were affected by granulite-facies ...
EVALUATION OF FERMENTATION CHARACTERISTICS OF SIX YEAST STRAINS
(2014-08-29)
Brewer's wort contains the sugars; fructose, glucose, maltose, maltotriose and sucrose, together with dextrin and other malt solids. The objective of this study was to investigate the fermentation characteristics and sugar ...
SENSITIVITY OF TERRAIN ATTRIBUTES, WATERSHED ATTRIBUTES, AND SWAT DERIVED HYDROLOGICAL OUTPUTS TO LIDAR DERIVED DEM UNCERTAINTY
(2013-11-05)
This research analyzes the sensitivity of watershed attributes, and hydrological outputs to LiDAR derived DEM uncertainty introduced through spatial resolution, and LiDAR measurement errors. Sensitivity of watershed ...
FAMILIARITY AND AFFECT IN ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
(2014-07-21)
In typically developing (TD) individuals, simple repeated exposure to stimuli results in
greater affinity toward them. The main goal of the current project was to test the hypothesis that this mere repeated exposure (MRE) ...
