Analytical Characterization of Halobenzoquinones as Emerging Disinfection Byproducts in Disinfected Water
DownloadSpring 2016
Water disinfection is necessary for killing pathogens, but it causes an unintended chemical risk from the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Epidemiological studies show a potential association of water disinfection with increased risk of bladder cancer. It is unknown what DBPs are...

The field of animal personality, the study of adaptive among-individual behavioural differences in animal populations, has both exploded in popularity in the last few decades and come under heavy scrutiny by behavioural ecologists. The sudden interest in the field stems from the widespread...

Could Age, Sex and Physical Fitness Affect Blood Glucose Responses to Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes?
Download2019-11-13
Yardley, J. E., Brockman, N. K., Bracken, R. M.
Closed-loop systems for patients with type 1 diabetes are progressing rapidly. Despite these advances, current systems may struggle in dealing with the acute stress of exercise. Algorithms to predict exercise-induced blood glucose changes in current systems are mostly derived from data involving...

Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

This thesis develops three major essays on Arbitrage Theory, Market’s Viabil- ity and Informational Markets. The first essay (Chapter 3) elaborates the exact connections among the No-Unbounded-Profit-with-Bounded-Risk (called NUPBR hereafter) condition, the existence of the numeraire portfolio,...

The relationship between individual performance and nonrandom use of habitat is fundamental to ecology; however, empirical tests of this relationship remain limited, especially for higher orders of selection like that of the home range. We quantified the association between lifetime reproductive...

Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations between physical activity, screen time, and fitness in a sample of young children from Edmonton, Canada
DownloadFall 2016
Background: High fitness is associated with several positive health outcomes; however, fitness of Canadian children has declined over the past two decades. Correlates of fitness in children under 10 years of age are relatively unexplored, and few studies involving young children have looked at...

Occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) at a northern wastewater treatment facility
DownloadSpring 2017
The occurrence of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is an emerging environmental issue. Among other concerns, aquatic invertebrates sampled from WWTP have measurable concentrations of PPCPs, which have been found to cause adverse...

A major barrier to reclamation after oil sands mining is lack of commercially available, diverse native plant seeds and propagules for revegetation. Potential of LFH (forest floor material) developed on coarse textured soil for establishing native plants and how salvage, placement and storage...
