How perceptions of community environment influence health behaviours: using the Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity Framework as a mechanism for exploration
Download2016-09-01
Belon, A.P., Schopflocher, D., Nykiforuk, C.I., Plotnikoff, , Nieuwendyk, L.M., Raine, K.D., Vallianatos, H., Spence, J.C.
Introduction: Overweight and obesity are influenced by a complex interplay of individual and environmental factors that affect physical activity and healthy eating. Nevertheless, little has been reported on people's perceptions of those factors. Addressing this critical gap and community partner...

Hypothermia and the Evaluation of Combination Therapies for Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage
DownloadFall 2016
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is still of major concern in the neonatal period, resulting in chronic neurological sequelae stemming from damage to the term newborn brain. Full-body and focal-head cooling within 6 hours of birth have proven neuroprotective in human newborns and various...

Insights on local chemical structure of chalcogenide photovoltaic materials using solid state NMR spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2023
Quaternary chalcogenides with the formula I2-II-IV-VI4 have emerged as promising candidates for photovoltaic materials, but many details about their structures remain poorly understood. This thesis describes the synthesis, structure determination, and optical properties of the sulfides Cu2MTtS4...

Investigating the Role of In Utero Inflammation on Neurodevelopment in the Fetus and Offspring and the Neuroprotective Properties Afforded by Broccoli Sprouts
DownloadFall 2016
Introduction Maternal infection and inflammation leading to a fetal inflammatory response (FIR) is a risk factor for perinatal brain damage. Perinatal brain injury can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, the sine quo non outcome parameter of which is cerebral palsy (CP). Despite advances in...
