Spring 2010
The purpose of this research was to study the applicability of management system standards (MSSs) in a research and development (R&D)-oriented nanotechnology setting. Since multiple quality and R&D-specific standards were found to be relevant in such environments, a methodology for the...

Comparative analysis, modeling and simulation of Nanocrystal synthesis by Physical Vapor Deposition methods
DownloadFall 2011
Nanotechnology is rapidly becoming one of the most influential frontiers of technology. Nanocrystal (NC) synthesis is potentially one of the central processes in nanoelectronics due to its ability to improve performance of electronics devices. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is one of the most...

Love, Alan C. , Brigandt, Ingo
According to many biologists, explaining the evolution of morphological novelty and behavioral innovation are central endeavors in contemporary evolutionary biology. These endeavors are inherently multidisciplinary but also have involved a high degree of controversy. One key source of controversy...

Crowdsourcing Edmonton's Ribbon of Green: A Case Study of Neogeography in Edmonton's River Valley
DownloadFall 2012
Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) has defined a process to support public expression of place-based knowledge. The central weakness of this approach stems from a lack of collaboration support for groups of citizens. Recent GeoWeb advances are challenging PPGIS in this...

Effects of In-Situ Temperature Control on the Nanostructure of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a thin film deposition technique that utilizes oblique vapour incidence and substrate rotation to grow various nanocolumn structures. The growth of these structures is heavily influenced by the substrate temperature during deposition. Therefore, in-situ...

Embedded Categories: Three Studies on the Institutional Shaping of Categories and Category Effects
DownloadSpring 2012
Over the past fifteen years, a rich program of research has emerged among scholars interested in the role of categories within fields and industries. In this context, studies have shown that categories shape organizational and market processes by grouping firms and products in ways that convey...
