Near-Wellbore Salinity Effect on Sand Control Plugging by Fines Migration in Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Producer Wells
DownloadFall 2023
Sand control screens are necessary for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells drilled into oil sands to prevent sand production. However, the accumulation of mobilized fine particles near the wellbore can result in screen plugging, adversely affecting the well's flow performance. This...

Indigenous Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review of the Literature and Gendered Analysis of Métis Experiences
DownloadFall 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the mental health of the global population. Indigenous Peoples have been disproportionately affected by previous pandemics and already face an increased vulnerability to poor mental health outcomes due to the damaging and enduring effects of colonialism. However,...

The Biocultural Entanglement of Athlete Training Responses Across the Menstrual Cycle in Recreational Runners
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Recent progress in exercise science research has facilitated greater understanding of female athlete physiology, in particular regarding the menstrual cycle (MC) and human performance. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of this topic remains tentative (Casto, 2022). Existing research...

Fall 2023
A thermal-microstructural model was developed to predict the effect of laminar cooling during TMCP on the through thickness microstructure of an X70 steel. Model development was conducted in three sections, beginning with microstructure modelling of dilatometer samples with cooling rates ranging...

Fall 2023
Motoneuron properties and their firing patterns undergo significant changes throughout development and in response to neuromodulators like serotonin. In this thesis we examined intrinsic motoneuron properties in 50 typically developing participants ranging in age from 7 to 53 years. The primary...

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravenous N-acetyl Cysteine in Patients Undergoing Pharmaco-invasive Reperfusion Early After an ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
DownloadFall 2023
Background: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) effectively breaks down arterial thrombi in animal models and activates cardioprotective cellular pathways in STEMI models. Our study aimed to conduct a pilot trial to translate the beneficial effects of intravenous NAC observed in vascular occlusion models...

Spring 2023
The mechanics of composite materials is a subject of intense study due to their versatile and tailorable mechanical properties. A composite material consists of at least two different phases; one is called the reinforcing phase and the other one in which it is embedded is called the matrix phase....

Exploring the Regulation of Kv1.2 Homomeric and Heteromeric Channels by Redox, LMAN2, and Kvβ
DownloadFall 2023
Voltage-gated potassium channels generate diverse current properties influenced by various signaling mechanisms that are still not well understood. Among these channels, Kv1.2 in particular demonstrates highly variable activation properties based on their ability to shift between a fast...

Sensitivity of Ambient NO2 Concentration to Upstream Oil and Gas and Transportation Emissions in Alberta
DownloadFall 2023
Ambient exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) is associated with severe health problems and health-related economic burdens. The levels of NO2 concentration in the province of Alberta show that they will exceed the updated Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) in Edmonton and...
