Using Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) to Guide Cervical Cancer Care Among Inuit Communities: Implications from A Scoping Review
(2019-08-09)This thesis is part of a larger research project that aims to use Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) in the development of culturally-relevant cervical cancer care among Inuit communities. Specifically, a Joanna Briggs Institute ... -
USING LANDSCAPE GENETICS TO FORM A PORTRAIT OF A SUCKER: AN ARGUMENT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF MULTIPLE FACTORS TO CAPTURE THE WHOLE PICTURE OF A SUBARCTIC DENDRITIC METAPOPULATION
(2015)I tested the relative importance of life history, environmental barriers, dendritic structure, and historical colonization on the neutral genetic structure of a longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus) metapopulation in the ... -
USING LOCAL AND SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES TO UNDERSTAND FACTORS AFFECTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF INVASIVE GREEN CRAB (CARCINUS MAENAS L.)
(2015)Environmental management is becoming more informed through the use of less conventional knowledge sources to understand environmental systems. Following this realization, our study accesses both local and scientific knowledge ... -
Using lorazepam to dissociate perceptual and conceptual priming in memory.

Using Machine Learning to Improve Motor Imagery Neurofeedback
(2015)Machine Learning (ML) was employed to identify features in magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings of 16 participants performing motor imagery (MI). ML was applied to data obtained using three methods: 1) two sources ... -
Using Machine Learning to Predict Patients Who Leave Without Being Seen in a Pediatric Emergency Department
(2023-04-14)Background: Patients and their caregivers who seek care in an Emergency Department (ED) may ultimately choose to leave without being seen by a physician. This occurrence is labeled “left without being seen” (LWBS) and ... -
USING MACROALGAE, DISSOLVED NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS, AND NATURAL ABUNDANCE STABLE ISOTOPES TO TRACK SOURCES OF NITROGEN IN AQUACULTURE FARMS
(2021-12-16)Seaweed aquaculture is a growing market in the North Atlantic which has sparked the need for finding areas that can naturally support their growth. In this thesis six farms growing Saccharina latissima, or sugar kelp, were ... -
Using metaproteomes and models to quantify cellular trade-offs in phytoplankton
(2021-12-16)Phytoplankton fuel biogeochemical processes in the ocean and are key players influencing the global climate. All biogeochemical processes mediated by microbes are ultimately underpinned by gene expression. In this thesis, ... -
Using Named Entities in Post-click News Recommendation
(2016-08-05)With the growth of online news readers, many news websites use different signals to attract users' initial clicks. However, the problem of keeping users in the web site through post-click news recommendation is relatively ... -
USING NLP TO QUANTIFY THE EFFECTS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME OF SECURITIES LAWSUITS
(2019-12-10)The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is arguably the most tonal section of the reports provided to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of that dialogue, companies use non-standardized financial ... -
Using observations and model simulations to characterize the effects of lateral intrusion events in Bedford Basin
(2023-12-01)The renewal of deep water in Bedford Basin (BB) is vital for its ventilation. The main ventilation mechanisms are winter convention and lateral intrusion events. However, a characterization of intrusion events has not yet ... -
USING PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES TO ENHANCE THE MEASUREMENT, INTERPRETATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF SOIL RESPIRATION
(2014-08-21)Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) play an extremely important role in regulating Earth’s climate system. Researchers need to understand how GHGs are produced at a process-level in order to predict ... -
Using Rescorla’s truly random control condition to measure truly exogenous covert orienting
(2021-07-28)Studies of exogenous covert orienting use peripheral cues (stimuli) that are spatially uninformative about the locations of subsequent targets. When the time course of the cue’s influence on performance is explored (by ... -
USING SMARTPHONE TO PREVENT KEYLOGGING AND SHOULDER SURFING
(2017-12-12)Intruders have developed many methods to obtain sensitive information- some of the information is private and confidential such as username and password. Although strong cryptographic algorithms and authentication schemes ... -
Using Social Media Data to Improve Navigation within Websites
(2015-04-08)People often use navigation mechanisms such as menus, search, links and browser tools to find information within websites. The purpose of this research was to explore how user-generated content on social media can be used ... -
USING THE DYNAMIC GAS DISENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUE TO CHARACTERIZE GAS/LIQUID CONTACTING IN MICROBUBBLE-AERATED COLUMNS
(2021-12-14)Gas-liquid contacting plays a significant role in the chemical, petrochemical, mineral processing, and biochemical industries, where it is encountered in a wide range of operations. Generally, high volumetric mass transfer ... -
Using The Nitrification Inhibitor 3, 5-dimethylpyrazole To Determine Net Nitrogen Mineralization and Denitrification Rates Simultaneously At Varying Water Contents
(2017-03-31)An investigation of the use of a nitrification inhibitor (NI) to simultaneously measure the rates of net nitrogen (N) mineralization, as an accumulation of ammonium (NH4+), and denitrification, as a loss of nitrate (NO3-) ... -
USING THE ZEBRAFISH MODEL TO DETERMINE THE ROLE OF THE HACE1 TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR IN NORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND TUMOURIGENESIS
(2011-12-19)HACE1 is a tumour suppressor gene located at human chromosome 6q21. HACE1 is downregulated in Wilms’ tumour as well as several other human cancers. Its role in normal development remains unknown. The zebrafish has established ... -
