Is What You See What You Get? Exploring the Role of Virtual Reference Icons on Academic Library Websites
DownloadFall 2009
The goal of this study is to better understand academic library design, selection, and use of web icons. An additional goal is to discover some of the possible consequences of icon design decisions for student users. This research is meant to help library staff better understand the factors...

Online Library Communities: An Analysis of Ten Canadian Public Library Websites and Social Media
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis addresses the question of whether or not Canadian public libraries are creating online communities through their websites and social media pages. Studies into what sense of community entails, both physically and digitally have been conducted outside of the library and information...

Parent-child communication and adolescents’ problem-solving strategies in hypothetical bullying situations
DownloadFall 2011
The current study investigated: (a) the types of solutions that students and parents generate in response to hypothetical bullying situations; (b) the effectiveness of the solutions generated; and (c) the effectiveness of strategies when taking into consideration parent-child communication....

For male breeding songbirds, song rate varies throughout the breeding season and tends to be correlated with breeding-cycle stages. Although these patterns have been well documented, to our knowledge, this relationship has not been used to predict a bird’s breeding status through acoustic...

Predictive Mapping of Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) Density and Abundance in the Western Boreal Forest via Ground and Satellite Remote Sensors
DownloadFall 2019
The Yellow Rail (Coturnicops noveboracensis) is a small, secretive, wetland bird, which is apparently rare throughout most of its range. Almost nothing is known about its abundance and density in the wetlands of the western boreal forest. Emerging technologies have enabled us to effectively...

Reduced-Complexity Transceiver Signal Processing Algorithms for Massive MIMO and mmWave Cellular Systems
DownloadSpring 2021
Future broadband cellular networks will have to accommodate explosively growing demand for high bit rate data services. The adoption of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) designs with large antenna arrays (also known as massive MIMO) and the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands are...

Simulation of quantization noise effects on the performance of a wireless preamble detector and demonstration of a functional FPGA prototype
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis describes the implementation of the physical layer for an experimental low-power wireless communication device. The system utilizes differential coherent correlation and threshold-based detection to produce a robust random-access packet-based communications protocol. Prior to...
