SSHRC Awarded IDG 2016: The goal of this project is to develop foundational knowledge on the applicability of the learning perspective to account for interference phenomena when children perform language activities. We expect to learn more about the appropriateness of interpreting interference...

The interaction between the turbulent wake, created by a tailings pond dike and the low level emissions at the Syncrude Tar Sands Plant has been investigated using wind tunnel model simulation. At the large Reynolds numbers experienced by model and full-scale dike the flow remains attached to the...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...

Background. Stuttered speech (e.g., th-ththth-th-ththth-the car) and typical disfluencies (e.g., thee uh car) have some similarities. Previous research describes a tendency in listeners to predict that a speaker will refer to an unfamiliar object, rather than a familiar one, when both are equally...

This thesis examines the effect of political ideology on language processing. While it is well established that the semantics of language have an effect on language users’ comprehension process, there is little research on the effect of personal characteristics, particularly political ideology,...

Effects of Resistance Training Frequency on Physical Functioning and Quality of Life in Prostate Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
DownloadSpring 2015
Background: Resistance training (RT) improves physical functioning and quality of life in prostate cancer survivors but the optimal frequency of RT is unknown. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted to estimate the potential effects of 12 weeks of supervised RT for 3 days/week...

As we listen to spoken language, the brain performs multiple levels of computation, from understanding individual words to comprehending the arc of a story. Recently, computational models have been developed that also process text on multiple levels. These models, called multi-timescale long...
