Evolving the theory and praxis of knowledge translation through social interaction: A social phenomenological study
Download2009
McWilliam, C., Kothari, A., Leipert, B., Ward-Griffin, C., Forbes, D.
Background: As an inherently human process fraught with subjectivity, dynamic interaction, and change, social interaction knowledge translation (KT) invites implementation scientists to explore what might be learned from adopting the academic tradition of social constructivism and an interpretive...

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...

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...

We present three articles written to satisfy the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in Operations and Information Systems: The first is focused on the use of a bidimensional Markov model to compute the expected performance of an ambulance system using dynamic ambulance repositioning based on the...

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...

Culture and the healthy immigrant effect: a multiethnic study of Canadian immigrants' self-perceived health
DownloadSpring 2011
I present a qualitative study investigating the self-perceived health of recently arrived Canadian immigrants. The study develops health promotion’s understanding of culture as a social determinant of health, and conceptually locates it within a broader context of psychosocial factors. The study...

An examination of linking and blocking procedures for use in deflection cantilever array-based protein detection
DownloadFall 2011
In this project common linking and blocking procedures were examined for use in multiplexed deflection cantilever array-based detection of proteins. A human interferon gamma (INF-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the linking and blocking...

Combination of AC electrothermal and Dielectrophoresis realized by 3D Electrodes to Concentrate Particles
Download2022-06-01
Fathy, Jino, Wang, Ziying, Lai, Yongjun
In this paper, a particle microconcentrator is designed and simulated that works by combining the AC electrothermal (ACET) and Dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces. The microconcentrator consists of a PMMA channel with copper electrodes on the walls and bottom of the channel. On each side of the...

Slaughter, S., Bostrom, A.M., Cummings, G.G., Morgan, D.G., Estabrooks, C.A., Norton, P.G., Squires, J.E.
Background: Defining what constitutes a resident care unit in nursing home research is both a conceptual and practical challenge. The aim of this paper is to provide evidence in support of a definition of care unit in nursing homes by demonstrating: (1) its feasibility for use in data collection,...
