Spring 2013
The sources of inducing field gradients and their implications are investigated inside the microfabricated post arrays. A parametric study is conducted to understand how the posts arrangements, distance, and size change the field and field gradients. The results provide criteria where the...

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...

Gestational weight gain, physical activity, and nutrition counselling practices of prenatal health care providers: What influences practice?
DownloadFall 2016
Appropriate gestational weight gain is important for maternal and child health. Data from a recent Alberta cohort showed 49% of pregnant women gained weight in excess of Health Canada guidelines. Regional studies have shown low rates of gestational weight gain counselling by health care...

Impact of a low fructose, low glycemic index and low glycemic load dietary intervention on liver function, body composition and cardio metabolic risk factors in children and adolescents with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
DownloadSpring 2013
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver disease in obese children. Diets high in added fructose (high fructose corn syrup; HFCS)/glycemic index (GI)/glycemic load (GL) in children with NAFLD are associated with increased inflammation and liver dysfunction. We hypothesized that...

Individualized Health Related Quality of Life Measures: their use in children and their psychometric properties
DownloadFall 2012
Health related quality of life (HRQL) has recently been recognized as an essential outcome of patient-centered care. Individualized HRQL (iHRQL) measures propose a patient-centered approach to HRQL measurement; these measures allow patients to nominate areas of life that are important and then...

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...
