Our bodies are in a constant state of flux. Skin cells get recycled every few weeks, blood cells every few months, liver cells every two years. Over the course of a decade or so, every atom is replaced, and our bodies are made entirely new. Despite this, most of us feel that we are essentially...

Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Effect of unloading rate on surface crack growth during underload cycles in X-65 pipeline steel exposed to near-neutral pH environments
DownloadSpring 2019
This thesis has studied the crack growth behaviour of fully-coated, partially-coated, and fully-exposed semi-elliptical cracks immersed in a near-neutral pH environment with an applied cathodic potential. The effects of adding a one-hour monotonic hold and waveform shape were explored. The...

Investigation of Failure Modes of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2022
High-velocity and long-lifetime operating conditions of modern high-speed energy storage flywheel rotors may create the necessary conditions for failure modes not included in current quasi-static failure analyses. The central hypothesis for this thesis research is that (i) viscoelastic effects...

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2020 brought with it the enforced closure of in-person services for congregations in Canada, which resulted in many of the same congregations moving to online worship services. The purpose of this study is to explore what happened with this transition,...

Spring 2022
In this dissertation, I examine the major texts of nineteenth-century African American abolitionist Martin Delany to show how he transforms literary genres to develop his arguments for emigration and the uplift of African Americans in the United States. By doing so, I argue first that Delany is...
