Water and Wind: The Fluvial and Eolian Forces Behind the Pennsylvanian-Permian Halgaito Formation, Utah
(2020-10-06)
The study of dryland fluvial systems has yielded a broad and well established body of work. As rivers in semi-arid and arid environments cover nearly 50% of the present land surface, there are many modern examples to turn ...
Convolutional Neural Networks for Real-Time Weed Identification in Wild Blueberry Production
(2020-12-18)
Yield-limiting weeds in wild blueberry fields, including hair fescue and sheep sorrel, are traditionally managed with uniform applications of herbicides. Spot applications of herbicides reduce the volume required for ...
Hotel of Last Resort: Enhancing User Agency in Harm Reduction Architecture
(2020-09-01)
Homeless individuals who use drugs represent some of the most vulnerable and marginalized among society. In the context of a national opioid epidemic in Canada, harm reduction strategies, which reduce the adverse consequences ...
WIDE-BAND CHANNEL MODEL FOR UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO KALMAN FILTER BASED CHANNEL ESTIMATOR
(2020-03-05)
Underwater acoustics communication system design is a challenging endeavor due to several
technical as well as environmental parameters such as salinity of water, temperature,
frequency and time selectivity of the channel, ...
You are Welcome: Immigrant Integration through the Courtyard Typology
(2020-08-04)
This thesis addresses the architectural and social issues of immigrant populations relocating to foreign lands. The primary factor of immigrant integration is the availability of appropriate housing. Immigrant housing must ...
MARINE ECOSYSTEM IMPACTS AND MANAGEMENT RESPONSES UNDER 21ST CENTURY CLIMATE CHANGE
(2020-08-17)
Climate change is affecting marine ecosystem structure and function on multiple scales with consequences for ecosystem services, fisheries, and fishery-dependent societies. Projecting future trends and associated uncertainties ...
SPIRITUAL MALADIES: AA MEMBERS AS INTERPRETERS OF A SYMBOLIC CULTURE
(2020-08-26)
This ethnography engages with Alcoholics Anonymous’ (AA’s) self-defined alcoholics and addicts as participants in the co-construction of meaning through AA’s cultural framework. It is concerned with how they determine and ...
Corticospinal excitability enhances when aerobic exercise matches regular physical activity intensity
(2020-01-09)
Corticospinal excitability (CSE) increases after a single bout of aerobic exercise (AE), facilitating neuroplasticity. However, while some individuals enhance in CSE after a bout of AE, others show a decrease or no apparent ...
A Machine Learning Framework for Host Based Intrusion Detection using System Call Abstraction
(2020-04-13)
The number of cyber threats is increasing faster than the number of defensive strategies deployed to tackle those threats. An automated Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has the capability to detect, classify, and predict ...
Controlling Biofilm Formation Through Corrosion Control Agents and Coatings
(2020-08-26)
This work explored two primary strategies for controlling biofilm. One method involved the use of sodium silicate as a corrosion inhibitor in a pilot-scale model drinking water distribution system using cast-iron mains. ...
