Families play a critical role in children’s pain. Theoretical and empirical work has explored individual child and parent, dyadic (parent-child interaction), and family-level factors; however, prior research has largely ...
IMAGE ANALYSIS OF TRIACYLGLYCEROLS CRYSTALLIZING UNDER SHEAR FLOW
(2015)
The processing conditions of edible fats determine the crystalline structure of a product. This affects the product’s texture, flavor, mouthfeel, moisture content, etc.
To improve the available image analysis tools for ...
Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic Reactivation of Central Scotian Slope Salt Bodies and the Impact on Slope Depositional Systems
(2015)
The history of younger (Late Cretaceous to present) salt-related deformation is largely unknown on the Scotian Margin. This study investigates the style and timing of Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic salt tectonic rejuvenation ...
A Semantic Web based Knowledge Management Framework to model Behavior Change Constructs for generation of personalized Action Plans
(2015)
Behavior change approaches aim to assist patients in making lifestyle adjustments so that they are able to self-manage their condition effectively. Self-efficacy (SE) is central to behavior change, and different behavior ...
Investigation of Increased Wall Stiffness on Load Effect Equations for Soil Metal Structures
(2015)
The soil-steel bridge industry is expanding into new markets and more demanding applications. In the past, shallow corrugated plates (51mm by 152 mm) were replaced with deep corrugated plates (140 mm by 381 mm) to allow ...
Algebraic Properties of Monomial Ideals
(2015)
In this thesis we first study a special class of squarefree monomial ideals, namely, path ideals. We give a formula to compute all graded Betti numbers of the path ideal of a cycle and a path. As a consequence we can give ...

ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES ON THE MARINE MIGRATION OF ARCTIC CHAR AND BROOK TROUT (SALVELINUS SPP.)
(2015)
Environmental influences on the marine migration of Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis were determined by correlating movements, habitat use and diving behaviours to distance traveled from ...
An Investigation of Event-Related Brain Potentials Evoked by Feedback During Prism Adaptation
(2015)
Prism adaptation (PA) demonstrates how the brain can adapt to a shifted visual field and also serves as a promising rehabilitation approach for treating visuo-spatial neglect (VSN) – a condition marked by deficits in ...
