Nonlinear state-space control design for displacement-based real-time testing of structural systems
DownloadSpring 2011
Moosavi Nanehkaran, Seyed Abdol Hadi
This study presents the nonlinear design of a state space controller to control hydraulic actuators under displacement control, specifically for real-time pseudo-dynamic testing applications. The proposed control design process uses the nonlinear state space model of the dynamics of the system to...

Parental use of psychological and behavioural control and the relationship to children's eating habits
DownloadFall 2010
This correlational study examined parent-feeding practices, children’s negative affect towards food, and parental psychological and behavioural control, and parenting styles relating to parental behavioural and psychological control. Parents and their children aged 9-13 years completed...

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) foraging, spatial, and energetics ecology in the changing Arctic
DownloadFall 2020
Climate warming in the Arctic has resulted in rapid and extensive changes to sea ice dynamics and profound ecological impacts, including changes to the timing of life history events, community structure, and food web dynamics. Sea ice-dependent species such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are...

Spring 2016
Glyphosate resistant Kochia scoparia is a growing concern in Canada, and is increasing in incidence. Trials were conducted in naturally occurring glyphosate susceptible kochia populations or in areas seeded with glyphosate susceptible kochia seed. By looking at herbicides with different modes of...

Refocusing the focus on adherence to antiretroviral therapy using a community-based participatory research approach
DownloadFall 2014
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is critical to treatment success. Using an epidemiological and community-based participatory research approach, my thesis reports on two papers related to antiretroviral therapy success (and subsequent failure). My thesis also includes a third paper which...

Spring 2013
The overall goal of this thesis was to develop a proof-of-principle for a device that might eventually restore walking in people with paraplegia. The thesis consisted of three component technologies each working in conjunction with one another in adult cats. The first component was the...

The Effects of Culture on Conceptualizations of Leisure, Control, and Positive Affect Between Japanese and Canadian Undergraduate Students
DownloadSpring 2014
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine: (a) similarities and differences in conceptualizations of leisure between Japan and Canada and between two Japanese leisure-like terms: yoka and rejā (Study 1); (b) the effects of leisure participation on Japanese and Canadian undergraduate...

The genesis of the Gayna River carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposit
Fall 2009
Geochemical analyses on samples from the Mississippi Valley Type Gayna River deposit, Northwest Territories, Canada, have resulted in the definition of three ore stages and a deposit genesis model. Pb/Pb and Re/Os isotopic analyses indicate that the mineralization at Gayna River was emplaced...

The Quandary of the Sask Craton: Origin and Evolution of the Lithospheric Mantle beneath the Sask Craton
DownloadFall 2018
Mantle xenoliths from the Cretaceous (~106 to ~95 Ma) kimberlites at Fort à la Corne (FALC) present a unique opportunity to study the lithospheric mantle beneath the newly recognised Sask Craton. The Sask Craton, a small terrane with Archean (3.2 - 2.5 Ga) crustal ages, is enclosed in the...

The Structure and Dynamics of Fish Isotopic and Trophic Niches in Natural Lakes and Constructed Fisheries Offsets in the Alberta Oil Sands
DownloadFall 2022
Habitat offsets, where damages to natural ecosystems caused by socio-economic development projects are compensated for by the construction or restoration of other ecosystems, can contribute to biological conservation when implemented properly. But, large uncertainties remain surrounding our...
