An Integrated Neoclassical Realist and Constructivist Approach to the Study of Canadian Foreign Policy: Canada's Response to the 2011 Intervention in Libya
(2014-08-25)
The following project is an examination of Canadian foreign and defence policy. Specifically, it is argued that growing trends in Canadian foreign policy necessitate a theoretical framework that is able to accurately examine ...
ELASTICITY OF DEMAND FOR NATURAL GAS IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL CANADA
(2014-04-03)
In this paper, we used the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and the bounds test approach to estimate the elasticity of demand for natural gas in Western and Central Canada. The best model specification selected ...
Oncolytic Reovirus Induces Intracellular Redistribution of Ras to Promote Apoptosis and Progeny Virus Release
(2014-08-22)
Ras is a dynamic protein capable of interacting with plasma membrane microdomains and intracellular membranes. Its activity, as controlled by post-translational modifications, is essential in regulating cell growth, ...
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPROPERLY OBTAINED EVIDENCE AT THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT: A PRINCIPLED APPROACH TO INTERPRETING ARTICLE 69(7) OF THE ROME STATUTE
(2014-04-24)
This thesis examines article 69(7) of the Rome Statute, which creates an
exclusionary rule for improperly obtained evidence at the International Criminal Court
(ICC). Ultimately, the thesis proposes how the ICC should ...
Quantifying the patterns of functional connectivity within the brain during imagined and overt movement of a functional task in non-disabled systems
(2014-08-21)
This project was aimed at quantifying functional connectivity within the brain during motor imagery (MI) and the actual performance of a motor task, and comparing these networks using graph theory. Fifteen participants ...
Method Development for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Studies of Bovine Serum Albumin on Platinum Electrode Surfaces
(2014-04-03)
In this thesis, a method is presented for studying protein adsorption on solid surfaces by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), using a model system of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on platinum electrode surfaces. ...
CONSPICUOUS SEXUALITY: BOURDIEU’S AFFECTIVE PHENOMENOLOGY AND THE NORMATIVE ORIGINS OF HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE
(2014-04-29)
Through an elaboration Bourdieu I argue that the embodiment of heterosexist norms produces negative dispositions towards gay men and women. Though this position relates to the literature on homophobic violence in its ...
Application of Clustering, Logistic Regression and Decision Tree Induction on EGM Data for Detection and Prediction of At-Risk and Problem Gamblers
(2014-08-12)
The use of data mining techniques for problem gambling behaviour analysis has huge potential to offer players protection and to reduce the risk of gambling-related harms. In this thesis, we apply three data mining ...
A Comprehensive Review and Multi-Method Examination of the Relationship between Social Anxiety and Alcohol Use
(2014-07-21)
Epidemiological studies show that those with high social anxiety are at increased risk of having alcohol use problems. This risk appears especially high in socially anxious women. Researchers have long sought to understand ...
Optimizing Genetically Encoded Calcium Indicators to Measure Presynaptic Calcium Transients
(2014-05-28)
Neurotransmitter release is modulated by multiple regulatory mechanisms that control several stages of synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis. At the final stage, SV fusion with the presynaptic membrane requires calcium influx ...
