The effect of buoyant convection on the buoyancy-driven spreading and draining of porous media gravity currents along a permeability jump
DownloadSpring 2022
We investigate theoretically the impact of introducing convective dissolution along the interface of a (dense) miscible gravity current propagating up- and downdip along a permeability jump in a saturated, layered porous medium. Emphasis is placed on three different dissolution scenarios, namely...

Glycemic Response to Acute High-Intensity Interval Training versus Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training during Pregnancy
DownloadSpring 2022
Moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) continues to be the staple of prenatal physical activity research. The glucose lowering effects of MICT are well established with low risk of post-exercise hypoglycemia, however there is a large research gap concerning maternal response to short...

Alberta oil sands tailings ponds are under the concern of releasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). In this research, Eddy Covariance (EC) technique was used to measure GHGs emissions from an oil sands tailings pond. A tower with EC instruments mounted on...

The Thalamic Nucleus Reuniens Facilitates Communication Between Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus
DownloadSpring 2022
Decades of research have established that two brain regions, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HPC), have dissociable but critical roles in memory. Often, these roles are co-operative and enable for the richness of episodic remembrances. It has remained relatively elusive,...

Tungsten skarn deposits from the Canadian Cordillera: paleogeographic and geochemical controls on ore distribution
DownloadSpring 2022
Tungsten is a critical metal. Critical metals are strategic metals with associated economic, social, energy, geostrategic and environmental issues. As a result, the need to monitor and to secure local supplies of critical elements, including tungsten, has become a strategic priority for many...

Juncture epenthesis in Filomeno Mata Totonac: prosodic constraints and syntactic conditions
DownloadSpring 2022
This thesis describes and analyzes the occurrence of juncture epentheses at word boundaries in Filomeno Mata Totonac. In this language, when two consonants come together at a word boundary, a vowel is often inserted; and when a vowel and an oral stop come together at a word boundary, there is...
