Fathers of Daughters: A Narrative Inquiry Into Their Experiences of Migration and Settlement
DownloadFall 2014
The process of migration produces transitions and disruptions in the dynamics of family life including changes in roles and relationships. In general, there is very little research on father/daughter relationships from the perspective of the father. I sought to understand the research puzzle: ...

Self-determination is a core concept framing the historical and ongoing efforts of Inuit in Nunavut seeking to align the territory’s social and political institutions with Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ), or Inuit ways of knowing, being and doing. Educational self-determination represents an...

Ice-Atmosphere Interactions on the Devon Ice Cap, Canada: the Effects of Climate Warming on Surface Energy Balance, Melting, and Firn Stratigraphy
DownloadSpring 2014
In order to better constrain the magnitude of projected sea-level rise from Canadian Arctic glaciers during the 21st century warming, it is critical to understand the environmental mechanisms that enhance surface warming and melt, and how the projected increase in surface melt will translate into...

Literature of Movement: Trends, Developments, and Prospects in Transcultural Literature as Exemplified by Contemporary German-Language Texts
DownloadFall 2013
The questions of categorizing, describing, and critically engaging with different types of literature require constant attention. This is particularly true in the case of literature that is rapidly changing, such as the body of works that has until now been referred to as intercultural,...

The human neuraminidases (NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, and NEU4) are a family of enzymes implicated in pathologies including cancer and diabetes. Our group has developed selective inhibitors for these enzymes that have been employed as tools to understand their biological roles. Several reports have linked...

Carbon isotope analyses of gases extracted from drilling muds while drilling in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) can be used to create carbon isotopic depth profiles. These profiles provide essentially continuous data through the stratigraphic section, offering a unique opportunity to...

Roads are a prevalent, ever-increasing form of human disturbance on the landscape. In many places in western North America, energy development has brought human and road disturbance into seasonal winter range areas for migratory elk. In this population, I studied individual habitat selection...

Proliferative Signals Regulate Hemocyte Development and Intestinal Immunity in Drosophila melanogaster.
DownloadSpring 2015
The innate immune system is an ancient line of resistance against intrusive microbial threats. This system integrates cellular, humoral, and barrier defenses to generate a protective immune response. These divisions are indispensable and conserved between Drosophila and mammals. Hemocytes are the...

The reflection seismic experiment results in a measurement(reflection seismic data) of the seismic wavefield. The linear Born approximation to the seismic wavefield leads to a forward modelling operator that we use to approximate reflection seismic data in terms of a scattering potential. We...

Reimaging Resource Constraints and Affordances: Smallholder, Environment and State Dynamics in Wello, Ethiopia
DownloadFall 2012
In this dissertation, I explore and analyze smallholders’ perceptual and cultural understandings of environmental opportunities and constraints regarding land, soil, rain and trees in mixed-crop-livestock agriculture among rural communities of Wärräbabbo in Wello, northeast Ethiopia. Also, I...
