Spring 2023
The fluid mechanics literature suggests that the ability to manipulate the very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) that exist within turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) would provide influence over the unwanted drag forces, noise, and vibrations associated with these flows. The ability to suppress these...

An Intersectional Perspective on Experiences Inspiring Transition to University Among First Nations Learners
DownloadFall 2017
The literature on the university participation of First Nations (First Peoples of Canada) learners pointed to historic K 12 challenges and competing demands that hinder their transition to university. Although learners’ attendance is rising steadily, more females than males attend university. ...

Bypassing, Skipping, and Pivoting: A Behavioral Microanalysis during an Information-Based Task in Spatially-Diverse Virtual Environments
DownloadSpring 2018
Educators are looking at technology voluntarily used by students outside the classroom as a way to better engage students inside the classroom. This study examined post-secondary studentsâ behavior during an information-based task in spatially-diverse virtual environments. Cluster analysis...

Chickadee behavioural response to varying threat levels of heterospecific and conspecific calls
DownloadFall 2015
Chickadees produce many vocalizations, including the chick-a-dee call that they use as a mobbing call in the presence of predators. Previous research has shown that chickadees produce more D notes in their mobbing calls in response to high-threat predators compared to low-threat predators, and...

Dealing with a latent danger: parents communicating with their school-age preadolescent children about smoking - a grounded theory study
DownloadSpring 2011
Smoking in youth continues to be an important public health issue. Because adolescence is the key period for smoking initiation, prevention efforts need to take place before the adolescent years. Little is known about parental smoking prevention interventions. The purpose of this study,...

Development of an Experimental Apparatus for Studying the Effects of Acoustic Excitation on Viscosity
DownloadFall 2012
An experimental apparatus was developed capable of measuring changes in fluid viscosity occurring due to acoustic stimulation. Controls allowed measurements at simulated oil sand reservoir pressures and temperatures with near real-time data visualization. Calibration was performed...

Humans are known to gain or lose utility by comparing their payoffs with those of their peers. I analyze how such social preferences affect incentive contracts and performance evaluation in principal-agent settings. In my models, agents dislike getting worse off than their peers (I say they have...

Fall 2013
We investigated the problem of constructing a near-field link budget to wirelessly communicate with high data rate (e.g. 3.125 Mbps) implantable circuitry located few centimeters under the skin using spread spectrum technique. Different methods and frequency bands were analyzed to choose the...
