This capstone project, titled 'Unveiling the Veiled: Semiotic Analysis of Symbols and Power Dynamics in the Denver Airport Conspiracy Theories,' embarks on a thorough examination and undertaking of the public discourse surrounding the Denver International Airport, paying special attention to its

broader themes of power, surveillance, and technology—DIA's art, including the 'Blue Mustang,' 'Notre Denver' gargoyles, and Leo Tanguma's murals, stands at the intersection of varied interpretations. The project investigates how these artworks become focal points in conspiracy theories that attribute to

. The results support the idea of being more thoughtful when it comes to displaying art in public areas and propose that clear messaging could prevent confusion and combat theories and narrative hijacking driven by conspiracies.. Through its analysis, the project offers insights into the interplay of

design standard, CSA S16-19. Special design requirements were introduced for MT-BRBFs in the 2016 edition of AISC Seismic Provisions in the U.S. to improve column stability response and control tier drift demands. However, very limited supporting research data is available to verify these requirements

potential improvements, and develop an enhanced design method in the framework of CSA S16. This M.Sc. research project aims to evaluate the seismic response of steel MT-BRBFs designed to the Canadian and U.S. provisions and propose enhanced analysis and design methods to better represent MT-BRBF seismic

extensive research studies conducted to examine the seismic response of and develop design requirements for multi-tiered concentrically braced frames, there is limited research on the seismic performance of steel MT-EBFs. Furthermore, there exist no special design requirements for MT-EBFs given that there

are several concerns associated with the stability response of their unbraced intermediate links and columns. Due to the lack of background research, the current edition of the Canadian steel design standard, CSA S16-19, does not recognize MT-EBFs as ductile EBF. This Ph.D. research project aims to

Estimating the accuracy of alternative staining methods provides information needed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of special stains for detecting Hp. In this thesis, I investigated whether using special stains (Giemsa, Warthin-Starry and/or

The Canadian North Helicobacter pylori (CANHelp) Working Group conducted community projects to respond to concerns of Arctic Indigenous communities about health risks from Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection

. CANHelp community projects used multiple methods for classifying Hp infection, including the urea breath test (UBT), pathological evaluation of stomach tissue, and tissue culture. My thesis assessed the validity of Hp infection detection methods and estimated the effect of the Hp bacterial load on the

The purpose of this document is to provide ideas for researchers about some potential in-kind contributions that may be included in a research project proposal. This is not an exhaustive list. This is also not a formal policy document and every item, their eligibility and valuation should be

confirmed with the Sponsor agency. In-Kind contributions are non monetary resources that partners, sponsoring organizations and/or the grantee’s institution provide to support the project. They are normally considered essential to the research or research-related activities and could be in the form of cash

-equivalent goods or services, which would otherwise have to be purchased with project funds.
