Fall 2020
This thesis proposes a framework for ground roll removal based on regularized inversion. Both ground roll and reflections are represented in the frequency-space (f - x) domain as a linear function of unknown complex amplitudes. An inversion algorithm is developed to estimate the coefficients that...

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Premenopausal Breast Cancer Locus and Insights into Copy Number Variations for Disease Predisposition and Prognosis
DownloadFall 2018
Breast cancer is a complex multifactorial disease with the interplay of genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors contributing to the disease risk. Studies based on twins estimated that ~30% of the risk is due to genetic factors. High and moderate penetrant mutations along with low penetrance...

Identity, conflict and radical coalition building: a study of grassroots organizing in Northern Ireland
DownloadSpring 2010
Coalitions in Northern Ireland have been organizing across the ethno-nationalist divide for decades. Yet, while empirical research has addressed challenges of, and potential for, organizing across ethnonationalism, the ways in which coalition members attend to their complex subjectivites have...

Implications of genetic diversity on expression of LILRB1 in Natural Killer cells and susceptibility to HCMV infection in transplant patients
DownloadFall 2016
Leukocyte Ig-like Receptor 1 (LILRB1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on a number of immune cells. The expression profile on NK cells is variable between people, with a range of 25-80% of NK cells expressing LILRB1. We previously uncovered a correlation between genotype within the 5’ end of...

Fall 2009
Logistic and economic constraints often dictate the spatial sampling of a seismic survey. The process of acquisition records a finite number of spatial samples of the continuous wave field. The latter leads to a regular or irregular distribution of seismograms. Seismic reconstruction methods are...

Fall 2010
The reflection seismic experiment results in a measurement(reflection seismic data) of the seismic wavefield. The linear Born approximation to the seismic wavefield leads to a forward modelling operator that we use to approximate reflection seismic data in terms of a scattering potential. We...

As an educator and as an immigrant to Canada who is sensitive to the various identity and integration issues of newcomers and those considered minorities, I am cognizant of the various images and (mis)representations of cultures which are reflected and perpetuated by others. In the classroom I...

Sparsity and Group Sparsity Constrained Inversion for Spectral Decomposition of Seismic Data
DownloadSpring 2012
Local time-frequency analysis, also known as spectral decomposition, allows for a more detailed interpretation of time-series by providing the evolution of the frequency spectrum through time and has proven to be a useful seismic attribute for exercises such as reservoir characterization. This...

Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Imaging of Porphyry Copper Deposits with MT and ZTEM Data
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis investigates the use of the airborne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and ground-based magnetotelluric (MT) exploration techniques to image electrical resistivity contrasts associated with porphyry copper deposits. These techniques were individually used to construct...
