Patient-Specific Collision Zones for 4π Trajectory Optimized Radiation Therapy
(2020-08-17)This thesis presents a system that determined patient-specific collision zones (CZs) to enable safe and deliverable non-coplanar treatment trajectories for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) patients. Full body ... -
PATIENT-SPECIFIC PATTERNS OF PASSIVE AND DYNAMIC KNEE JOINT MECHANICS BEFORE AND AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
(2013-07-24)Disregard for patient-specific joint-level variability may be related to decreased functional ability, poor implant longevity and dissatisfaction post-TKA. The purpose of this study was to, 1) compare pre and post-implant ... -
Patients' experience of occupational therapy discharge preparation
(2016-04-01)Discharge planning is intended to assist hospitalized patients returning home. Occupational therapists play an important role in interdisciplinary discharge planning by assisting with the identification of potential barriers ... -

Pattern Formation in Atherosclerotic Plaques
(2019-08-14)Atherosclerosis is a disease of the cardiovascular system of humans that can lead to myocardial infarction and stroke. It begins in the arterial walls (intima) as an inflammatory response to dysfunction of the endothelium ... -
Pattern Formation in Bacterial Colonies with Density-Dependent Diffusion
(2017-04-07)Recent experiments have shown that patterns can emerge in bacterial colonies programmed to have a drop in diffusion when population densities (detected via a quorum sensing mechanism) are sufficiently large. We examine one ... -
Patterns and drivers of marine phytoplankton change over the past century
(2013-10-31)Marine phytoplankton produce the vast majority of primary production in the world’s oceans and sustain virtually all marine ecosystems. Despite this importance, it is currently unclear how global marine phytoplankton ... -

(2014-03-31)This study analyzes sex ratios garnered from one hundred and one years of baptismal records from the south-western French town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, between 1610 and 1711. It is the continuation of a larger project ... -
Patterns in the larval vertical distribution of marine benthic invertebrates in a shallow coastal embayment
(2011-10-18)Processes during the meroplanktonic phase regulate population dynamics for many marine benthic invertebrates. I examined changes in vertical distribution of different meroplanktonic larvae in a coastal embayment during a ... -

Patterns of genomic and phenomic diversity in apple and grape
(2017-07-28)Apples and grapes are two long-lived perennial crops which are economically valuable but whose genomic and phenomic diversity has not yet been fully described and exploited. In this thesis, there were two main objectives: ... -
Patterns of Opioid Exposure in the Emergency Care System and Prolonged Opioid Use Among Opioid-Naïve Adults With Low Back Pain
(2022-08-02)The objectives of this thesis were to: 1) describe the characteristics of opioids delivered to opioid-naïve adults with low back pain as they transition through a Canadian emergency care system; 2) identify different ... -
PATTERNS OF RUBISCO CONCENTRATIONS IN GLACIERIZED AND NON-GLACIERIZED ENVIRONMENTS ACROSS JONES SOUND, NU
(2022-11-21)Tidewater glaciers can enhance delivery of nutrients to the surface ocean. The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) has a high density of tidewater glaciers, but their influence on the marine environment, particularly ... -
