Spring 2014
This thesis documents the research undertaken to develop and assess modeling and monitoring tools to improve the water quality management in the Athabasca River, Alberta. The Upper Athabasca River (UAR) has experienced dissolved oxygen (DO) sags, which may affect the aquatic ecosystem. A water...

Ease of Imagination, Message Framing and Physical Activity Messages
2010
Abstract: Objectives. The purpose of this research was to replicate a study that examined how message framing and ease of imagination interact to influence attitudes towards the prevention of heart disease through physical activity and a healthy diet. Changes were made such that only physical...

Sherratt, J. A., Lewis, Mark A., Fowler, A. C.
Irregularities in observed population densities have traditionally been attributed to discretization of the underlying dynamics. We propose an alternative explanation by demonstrating the evolution of spatiotemporal chaos in reaction-diffusion models for predator-prey interactions. The chaos is...

Effects of aspen harvesting on groundwater recharge and water table dynamics in a subhumid climate
Download2011
Devito, K.J., Mendoza, C.A., Smerdon, B.D., Carrera-Hernández, J. J., Petrone, R.M.
Numerical experiments were developed using different water table depths and soil textures to investigate the impact of aspen harvesting on hydrological processes on the Western Boreal Plain. The effect of harvesting on soil moisture dynamics, fluxes at the water table, and water table fluctuation...

Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Solomon, Stanley C., Wang, Wenbin, Le, G. M., Wang, J. S., Lei, J., Rae, I. Johnathan
A new interactive M-I coupling model that describes the dynamic interaction between magnetospheric dispersive waves, compressional modes, and auroral electron precipitations is applied to investigate the geomagnetic electromagnetic pulsations observed in Earth's magnetosphere in terms of...

Evaluation of potential meteorological triggers of large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay, eastern Canada
Download2012-01-01
Hutchinson, D. J. , Gauthier, D.
Heavy rains spread over some interval preceding large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay in eastern Canada are often noted as a triggering or causative factor in case studies or research reports for individual landslides, although the quantity or duration of the triggering rain event has...

Experimental Response and Analysis Model of an Innovative Pile-To-Pile Mechanical Connector
DownloadFall 2017
Pile-to-pile mechanical connections are used when the depth of the soil layers with sufficient bearing strength exceeds the standard pile length and extensions are needed to reach the deep stable soil. Mechanical connectors permit a safe transmission of forces while meeting strength and...

2013
This essay analyzes and develops recent views about explanation in biology. Philosophers of biology have parted with the received deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation primarily by attempting to capture actual biological theorizing and practice. This includes an endorsement of...
