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),...

Exploring Psychiatrists’ Perceptions of the Utility of Physical Activity and/or Exercise as Treatment for Depression
DownloadFall 2019
There is extensive evidence in support of physical activity and/or exercise having therapeutic benefits on the prevention and management of depression, also known as major depressive disorder (MDD). Physical activity and/or exercise prescriptions, also known as “green prescriptions,” have been...

Feasibility and Safety of Heavy Lifting Strength Training in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors Post-Surgical Neck Dissection (the LIFTING trial)
DownloadSpring 2022
Background: Despite improvements in surgical neck dissection (ND) procedures, head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) still endure acute and chronic side effects such as loss of muscular strength, limitations in physical functioning, and fatigue, that impact quality of life and limit return to...

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...

Impact of a Primary Care Exercise Program on Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Patients with COPD
DownloadSpring 2019
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an obstructive lung disease characterized by shortness of breath and is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. Physical activity is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in people who have COPD, however long-term adherence to exercise is...

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...
