This thesis proposes a reading of David Gauthier’s moral contractarianism (hereinafter Mb(CM)A) that demonstrates how cooperation can be rational in situations where expected utilities (EU) are stacked too high against cooperation. The dissertation critically examines Mb(CM)A and contends that it...

Impact of conventional fractionated RT to pelvic lymph nodes and dose-escalated hypofractionated RT to prostate gland using IMRT treatment delivery in high-risk prostate cancer
DownloadFall 2009
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men. The standard treatment in high-risk category is radical radiation, with androgen suppression treatment (AST). Significant disease progression is reported despite this approach. Radiation dose escalation has been shown to improve...

Reduced–Complexity Transmission and Reception Strategies in Coordinated Multi-cell Wireless Networks
DownloadFall 2012
Interference is known as a major obstacle for the spectral efficiency increase promised by multiple-antenna techniques in cellular wireless communications. Recently, it has been shown that multi-cell coordination can mitigate interference and improve system performance dramatically. Hence, we...
