Creating and Capitalizing on Opportunities to Reduce Poverty: The Process and Power of Integrated Knowledge Translation
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis describes the experiences of partners involved in integrated knowledge translation (iKT)—a poorly understood process wherein partners from diverse professional spheres (e.g. community, government, and academia) work together to ensure research generated is relevant for the context of...

Creating Neighbourhood Groupings Based on Built Environment Features to Facilitate Health Promotion Activities
Download2012
VanSpronsen, Eric, Plotnikoff, Ronald C., Vallianatos, Helen, Schopflocher, Donald, Raine, Kim D., Spence, John C., Nykiforuk, Candace I.J.
OBJECTIVES: Detailed assessments of the built environment often resist data reduction and summarization. This project sought to develop a method of reducing built environment data to an extent that they can be effectively communicated to researchers and community stakeholders. We aim to help in...

Delineation of molecular mechanisms of intestinal calcium absorption during postnatal development
DownloadFall 2021
Infants and children must maintain a positive calcium balance for appropriate growth. Evidence suggests that adaptations in intestinal absorption of calcium are the major determinant of this net balance. However, the molecular details of the pathways mediating this increased absorption at a young...

LEARNING THROUGH GAMES Students can develop a meaningful understanding of mathematical ideas through games before they move toward abstractions (Dienes, 1971). Ernest (1986) identified three educational uses of games: gain skill-based fluency, develop conceptual understanding, and refine problem...

Development and Evolution of Complex Reproductive Traits in the Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae
DownloadSpring 2023
Flowering plants exhibit a bewildering diversity of forms, which raises fundamental questions on how that diversity arises. A cornerstone of evolutionary developmental biology is the expansion of comparative landscapes and establishment of focal clades that enable investigation of complex and...

Fall 2023
Motoneuron properties and their firing patterns undergo significant changes throughout development and in response to neuromodulators like serotonin. In this thesis we examined intrinsic motoneuron properties in 50 typically developing participants ranging in age from 7 to 53 years. The primary...

Development of the Voltage-Gated Sodium and Potassium Currents Underlying Excitability in Zebrafish Skeletal Muscle
DownloadFall 2009
Excitable cells display dynamically regulated changes in the properties of ion currents during development. These changes are crucial for the proper maturation of cellular excitability, and therefore have the potential to affect more sophisticated functions, including neural circuits, movements,...

Development, Anatomy, and Phylogenetic Relationships of Jawless Vertebrates and Tests of Hypotheses about Early Vertebrate Evolution
DownloadSpring 2018
The origin and early evolution of vertebrates remain one of the central questions of comparative biology. This clade, which features a breathtaking diversity of complex forms, has generated profound, unresolved questions, including: How are major lineages of vertebrates related to one another?...
