Nonlinear dynamics of plankton ecosystem with impulsive control and environmental fluctuations
Digital Document
Nonlinear dynamics of plankton ecosystem with impulsive control and environmental fluctuations
It is well known that the density of plankton populations always increases and decreases or keeps invariant for a long time, and the variation of plankton density is an important factor influencing the real aquatic environments, why do these…

Chromium transformations during aging in contaminated soils
Extensive industrial activities have led to Cr contamination in the environment, which poses threats to ecosystems and human health. Currently, very little is known regarding the Cr accumulation in soils during aging. The purpose of this…

Exploring the use of emergency health services for stroke: what is known about when to seek emergency help and how transport decisions impact in-hospital emergency care
Transport practices for seeking emergency stroke care remain largely underresearched and poorly understood, particularly for individuals living in small urban, rural, and remote regions. This multi-method study aims to address this knowledge gap and…

Multiple geochronological approaches to constrain late Quaternary glacial histories in western Canada
My dissertation investigates late Pleistocene and Holocene glacier change in western Canada and is presented in five chapters. In chapter one, I discuss the importance of the cryosphere, the techniques used for reconstructing past glacier behavior,…

Novel treatment and value-added utilization of oily sludge using ionic liquid and pyrolysis
The effective treatment of oily sludge has been a challenging problem faced by the petroleum industry worldwide. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, water, metallic ions, and suspended fine solids. The recalcitrant nature of oily sludge…

An examination of conceptual knowledge using near-infrared spectroscopy and electroencephalography
Traditionally, models of conceptual knowledge have relied upon amodal theories that largely overlook how environmental stimuli are converted into amodal representations and how perceptions reactivate these representations and translate them back…

Resource acquisition and allocation in mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides)
The strategic allocation of resources to maximize fitness is the organizing principle shaping the evolution of life histories. The physiology and behaviour of animals is a manifestation of trade-offs in resource allocation among traits and…

Improved understanding of methane emissions from oil and gas industries of western Canada using aircraft and satellite data, and GEOS-Chem modeling
The three western Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan) are responsible for more than 90 % of the 2017 national total fugitive methane (CH4) emissions from the oil and gas sector. Several survey-based previous studies…

Quantifying contact force artefact in near infrared spectroscopy
Transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of muscle requires coupling between the device and the skin. An unfortunate by-product of this coupling is contact force artefact, where the amount of contact force between the device and the skin…
