A robot journey into cognition:The role and implications of augmentative manipulation in child development
DownloadFall 2014
BACKGROUND: The strong relationship between motor and cognitive development suggests that the limited motor experience of children with physical disabilities can impact their cognitive and perceptual development. The assessment of their cognitive skills is also compromised due to limited verbal...

A Systems Model for Short-Rotation Coppices: A Case Study of the Whitecourt, Alberta, Trial Site
DownloadFall 2014
Short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantations, including willow or poplar, are intended to be both environmentally friendly, permitting disposal of treated, nutrient-rich, domestic wastewater and biosolids, and economically viable, providing a sustainable source of wood fibre for biofuel and biochar...

A tale of two hypotheses: Effect of the herpes simplex-1 virus virion host shutoff (vhs) protein on bicistronic reporters
DownloadFall 2014
The herpes simplex virus virion host shutoff (vhs) protein acts as an mRNA specific endoribonuclease. Our lab has previously determined that vhs stimulates expression of the 3’ CAT cistron of a bicistronic reporter plasmid while under the influence of the BiP IRES; however, the mechanism by which...

A Utopian Moment: Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, and the Negotiation of Utopia and Tragedy in 1 Kgs 1-11
DownloadFall 2014
The Solomonic era represents a period of respite within Israel’s imagined history. In contrast to the general tendency towards social entropy that otherwise characterizes the biblical story, Solomon establishes a golden age in which Israel occupies an ideal state of existence. As such, this...

In the oil sands industry alone a single ultra-class shovel tip can lose more than 35 kg of steel mass in one operating day. When the downtime to change a set of GET on a shovel is performed frequently, it can add up to significant loss in shovel availability, not to mention the loss of tip,...

Accelerated Dewatering and Drying Treatment of Oil Sands Tailings by Electrical Resonant Auto-Transformer
DownloadFall 2014
Canada has world’s third largest oil reserves in the form of oil sands and 20% of those are easily accessible by surface mining. The hot water bitumen extraction process has been used since 1967 and the process produces vast amount of tailings which are stored in ponds. Tailings ponds pose a...
