INVESTIGATING A RESPONSIVE INTERACTION TECHNIQUE FOR JOINT ATTENTION IN CHILDREN (8-12) WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A PILOT EYE-TRACKING STUDY
(2020-08-07)
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate difficulty with joint attention (JA). A scoping review showed that methods of cueing for and measuring JA used in research influence JA, with methodologies emphasizing ...
Fast Preprocessing for Optimal Orthogonal Range Reporting and Range Successor with Applications to Text Indexing
(2020-08-28)
Under the word RAM model, we design three data structures that can be constructed in $O(n\sqrt{\lg n})$ time over $n$ points in an $n \times n$ grid. The first data structure is an $O(n\lg^{\epsilon} n)$-word structure ...
X-ray Spectroscopy Studies of Ligand-protected and Zeolite-confined Silver Nanoclusters
(2020-08-24)
Ultrasmall silver nanoparticles, also known as silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs), are of interest because of their ultrahigh surface-to-volume ratio and strong quantum size effect. In this work, the studies of Ag NCs with ligand ...
Intentional Forgetting Diminshes the Likelihood of Semantic Encoding in the Item-method Paradigm
(2020-08-31)
The aim of the current study was to determine whether differences in the nature of encoding that underlies to-be-remembered (TBR) vs. to-be-forgotten (TBF) items are responsible for the disparity in the quality of their ...
Consumer Self-development: Construct Validity and Nomological Network of a New Dimension of Consumer Well-being and the Consequences for Product Evaluations and Brand Judgments
(2020-09-09)
This dissertation establishes the novel construct of Consumer Self-development (CSD). CSD captures the personal growth that people derive from consumption behavior and includes three dimensions: self-awareness, product ...
EFFECT OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED STRUCTURES SUPPORTED ON RAFT FOUNDATIONS ON EXISTING CONCRETE TUNNEL LININGS
(2020-09-11)
In densely populated areas, there is increasing construction of high-rise buildings adjacent to existing tunnels. The interactions involved are complex and unavoidable. Based on experience and field monitoring, many tunnel ...
Establishing Effective Representation and a Protected District for Anglophones in Brome-Missisquoi
(2020-12-18)
Anglophones of Brome-Missisquoi once had a strong regional identity. The community presently is on the decline, which perpetuates the loss of representation in Quebec’s political institutions. Inspired by the concept of ...
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTIONS FOR RESTRICTED AND REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS WITH AUTISM
(2020-01-21)
Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are a problematic behavior experienced by individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder that potentially interferes with engagement in meaningful occupations for that person. The ...
Disease-causing Mutations in Human Enzymes of the CDP-Ethanolamine and CDP-Choline Pathways Cause Distinct Growth and Phospholipid Synthesis Phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2020-08-27)
Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine are two of the most abundant phospholipids present in eukaryotic cells. In mammalian cells, these are mainly synthesized through the Kennedy pathways. PCYT1A is the gene ...
Quantifying coastal cliff retreat using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia
(2020-09-01)
Rates of retreat of cliffed coastlines are increasing around the globe, but the causes of observed increases are unclear. Lack of understanding complicates assessment of the risks to coastal infrastructure associated with ...
