This image is an homage to my husband’s grandfather who inspired my doctoral research on temporality of persons living with dementia. This collage represents his porous realities that cross his childhood in Hong Kong/Macao, the period of the Second World War, and his late life in Canada. The...

Cardioprotective Effects of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibition Following Myocardial Infarction
DownloadFall 2020
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for Canadians. While mortality rates from myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) have decreased, IHD remains the number one cause of premature mortality. Both age and sex are important contributors for IHD...

On-road driving is a habitual and automatic task for many Canadians. The commute to work, dropping children off at school, or a simple grocery run require a driver to perform a very complex task: driving a vehicle. Driving has become such an automatic behaviour for many that the behaviour itself...

Contributions of Prefrontal White Matter Integrity to Cognitive Performance in Healthy Aging
DownloadFall 2021
Aging is well-known to produce changes in the brain at both the functional and anatomical level. Increased age is associated with general brain atrophy and a decline in cognitive abilities such as executive functioning, working memory, and processing speed. A key brain region responsible for...

Investigation of polyetherimide’s thermal degradation and fabrication of thermal end-of-life sensor for fire protective clothing
DownloadSpring 2021
Typically, protective clothing are made of materials that have a high temperature resistance, good mechanical and chemical properties. However, some high-performance textiles – including those used in protective clothing – age silently, undergoing a gradual reduction in their protective...

New Insights into the Mechanisms of Vascular Dysfunction in a Young and Aged Septic Murine Model
DownloadFall 2022
Background: Sepsis is a dysregulated response to infection that results in life-threatening organ dysfunction. The elderly are disproportionately affected by sepsis and suffer an alarmingly high mortality rate. We hypothesized that increased mortality in the aged is due to a more highly...

Specific reduction in complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport system in long-lived seed beetles
DownloadSpring 2023
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a recognized hallmark of aging that is also directly or indirectly connected to practically all the other hallmarks of aging. As a result, mitochondrial dysfunction seems to be an important regulator of lifespan. Many studies provide evidence of lifespan...

The Effects of tDCS on Intermuscular Coherence During Speaking in Healthy Younger and Older Adults
DownloadSpring 2019
Background. Research in neuroplasticity has focused recently on the preservation of cognitive and motor functions in aging adults. Previous studies have shown that non-invasive neurostimulation can mitigate age-related changes in speech motor control. Specifically, transcranial direct current...

Fall 2020
Background: Abundant evidence links the built environment (BE) and physical activity levels in older adults. Yet, the relationship of BE and other domains that are conducive for healthy aging and aging in place, have been insufficiently studied. This study investigated the relationship of...
