THE GENDERED EXPERIENCES OF NURSES IN UNDERSTANDING HOPE IN PALLIATIVE CARE
(2015)This feminist phenomenological study explored the gendered experiences of nurses in understanding hope in palliative care. Six nurses from a palliative care unit in southern Ontario were purposely recruited for this study. ... -
GENE CLUSTERING BASED ON CO-OCCURRENCE WITH CORRECTION FOR COMMON EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY
(2016-04-25)As the number of sequenced genomes increases rapidly, new approaches are needed for the computational annotation of protein functions and to better understand the ecological roles of genomes. In this thesis, a gene ... -
Gene expression during peripheral nerve remyelination.

A general model to compute waste disposal costs for health care products
(2015)Hospitals are large producers of solid waste. The cost of segregating and discarding products in these waste streams is high. Studies have shown there is a considerable potential to reduce these costs while simultaneously ... -
A General Purpose Constitutive Model Fitting Approach Using Inverse Methods
(2018-11-28)Computer simulation techniques such as finite element (FE) methods are used extensively to ensure functionality, reliability, and safety. The accuracy of these simulations is reliant on how accurately one can describe ... -
General Sleep Parameters and Sleep Architecture in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and their Typically Developing Peers.
(2012-08-23)Polysomnography (PSG) sleep studies that compare the sleep of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to their typically developing (TD) peers have historically been highly inconsistent. Not only has ... -
The Generalizability of Dual N-Back Training in Younger Adults
(2014-12-16)Introduction: The popularity of cognitive training has increased in recent years. Accumulating evidence shows that training can sometimes improve trained and non-trained cognitive functions, and these improvements may be ... -
Generalization of Learning in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2016-08-31)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is defined by impairments in reciprocal social interaction, communication, and by the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, ... -
Generalized Supremum-enriched categories and their sheaves.

Generalizing Fröberg's Theorem on Ideals with Linear Resolutions
(2013-11-07)In 1990, Fröberg presented a combinatorial classification of the quadratic square-free monomial ideals with linear resolutions. He showed that the edge ideal of a graph has a linear resolution if and only if the complement ... -
"Generally Fitt to be Trusted": Social Networks and the Moral Economies of Sugar Plantations in Early Anglo-Jamaica
(2015)This thesis argues that white residents in seventeenth-century Jamaica circulated within an economy of obligation, or an economic culture in which character, reputation and trust were vital, particularly as it related to ... -
Generating an Oasis: Architecture of Climatic Engagement for a Northern City
(2014-04-04)Edmonton, Alberta, like many other northern cities, has a history of overprotecting its citizens from the climatic elements. Through constructs of climate-control, like pedways and shopping malls, we have severed ourselves ... -
Generating and Analyzing Encrypted Traffic of Instant Messaging Applications: A Comprehensive Framework
(2023-04-28)Instant Messaging Applications (IMAs) are the primary communication tools for smartphone users. However, analyzing encrypted network traffic from IMAs poses challenges due to end-to-end encryption, user privacy, and dynamic ... -
Generating and measuring inhibition of return.
(Dalhousie University, 1998) -
GENERATING QUALIFIED PLANS FOR MULTIPLE QUERIES IN DATA STREAM SYSTEMS
(2017-12-18)Because stream processing applications operate under strict time constraints, most previous research focuses on enhancing real-time response by decreasing a single cost function. Although such research generates an optimal ... -
Generating Tools to Investigate Infant Leukemia Disease Biology and Identify New Therapies Through Rapid Drug Screening.
(2021-07-23)Infant Leukemia (IL) is a rare and aggressive congenital leukemia that is frequently caused by fusion genes involving lysine methyltransferase MLL (MLL1; KMT2A) and has a dismal prognosis. Further investigation into ... -
