Environmental factors affecting an experimental low-density mass grave near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The investigation of mass graves involves aspects of high political, judicial, and emotional impact. Understanding how bodies held within mass graves change between the time they are deposited and the time they are discovered (the realm of forensic taphonomy) is vital for competent collection of...

Spring 2013
Research was undertaken into the organic semiconductors tris(8- hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) as well as bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)zinc (Znq2) to the effect of improving achievable morphological control using an inexpensive evaporation based solution synthesis method. By varying experimental...

Spring 2010
The procedure for milling micrometre scale cantilevers of lutetium iron garnet using a focused ion beam microscope was developed. The infrastructure to study these cantilevers using rotational hysteresis loops and ferromagnetic resonance experiments was set up. The cantilevers were shown to...

How Does Maternal Education Influence Language Acquisition? Interdependencies between Environment and Input in the Bilingual Development of Immigrant and Refugee Children
DownloadSpring 2017
Research examining monolingual children’s acquisition demonstrates that children’s language development is intricately connected to the linguistic input they receive. However, their input varies on an individual basis; input is shaped by the broader social context in which they live...

Industrial emissions and Children’s Environmental Injustice in Canada: Exploring geographical patterns and an example of its relation to Children’s Cancer in Manitoba
DownloadFall 2015
Background: Environmental Injustice (EI) suggests that socioeconomically disadvantaged citizens/minority groups have a higher than average exposure to environmental contaminants and bear more subsequent health risks than their socioeconomically advantaged/majority group counterparts. In order to...

Nanophotonic detection of nanomechanical structures for use toward mass sensing applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Nanomechanical beam resonators show much promise for use in integrated on-chip mass sensing systems. This follows from their own very small masses and also their ability to store the mechanical energy of their oscillations to produce strong measurable mechanical response signals. To achieve...

Social Contexts of Environmental Practices: How Sustainable Development Discourses and Trust Mediate the Use of Genomics in the Alberta Beef Industry
DownloadFall 2014
In the face of environmental degradation resulting from beef production, genomics may add to the options available to producers seeking to reduce their environmental impacts. This research seeks to understand cow/calf producer experiences with the environment, the environmental impacts of their...
