A Multi-omics approach for genetic and molecular analysis of clubroot resistance in Brassica napus canola
DownloadFall 2023
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a significant threat to canola production. Growing of clubroot resistant canola cultivars is the most efficient and environment-friendly way of managing this disease. The evolution of new pathotypes eroded some of the resistance available...

A Multi-Objective Optimization Workflow for Steam-Alternating-Solvent Heavy Oil Recovery Process Design
DownloadSpring 2020
Coimbra Paniagua, Luis Eduardo
The steam alternating solvent (SAS) process involves multiple cycles of steam and solvent (e.g. propane) being injected into a horizontal well pair to produce the heavy oil. Companies are interested in these solvent-based methods, as they entail a smaller environmental footprint with reduced...

A multi-methods exploration of shared decision-making, lived experience, and opioid use disorder among emerging adults with anxiety and depression
DownloadFall 2021
Background Anxiety/depression are common in emerging adults and may lead to poor coping strategies such as substance use. Shared decision-making (SDM) occurs when clinicians and patients make health decisions together informed by the best available evidence inclusive of the patient’s...

A Multi-Method Investigation of Educational Activities for Hospital-Based Healthcare Providers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
DownloadSpring 2023
The Covid-19 pandemic was a period of intense stress for hospital-based healthcare providers (HCPs). Education was frequently proposed as a solution to support HCPs with pandemic-related distress, but little is known about what pandemic training and/or education looked like for hospital-based...
