Traumatic Brain Injury in Older Adults: A Descriptive & Etiologic Analysis
(2015)A two-part study was undertaken to determine the characteristics and incidence of older adults who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) while in Ontario home care from 2003 to 2013, and to determine the association ... -
Traveling wave-based fault location in power grids using neural networks
(2025)downtime and improving public safety. One practical FL approach involves utilizing traveling waves (TWs) to locate the fault along a transmission line. TW-based FL methods are highly regarded for their speed and resilience ... -
The treating physicians experiences of the return to work process in Thunder Bay
(2011)This study explored the experiences of physicians who treat injured workers (treating physicians) and are responsible for providing information to employers and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) regarding an ... -
Treatment Utilization by Problem Gamblers in Northwestern Ontario
(2010-08-18)The Catalyst database, which is operated through the Ontario Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, was used to explore factors that may be related to treatment non- compliance and the number of admissions in the ... -
Tree species diversity and stability in disturbance-driven boreal forest
(2016)Disturbance is a potent driver of forests. Components of disturbance such as frequency (i.e., time since last stand-replacing disturbance) and intensity (e.g., stand-replacing vs. non-stand-replacing disturbance) plays ... -
Trends in growth and soil nutrients following fire and logging
(2016)Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on soil fertility and tree growth is critical to the sustainability of forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty regarding how both harvesting ... -
Trickster chases the tale of education
(2012-11-10)The research story is a narrative woven of [the author's] own self reflections, the voice of the co-researchers, and traditional Mi'kmaw story characters. The story follows a group of community members from Wildcat First ... -
Tripartite preparedness and response during the COVID-19 pandemic: a First Nations’ perspective
(2023)First Nations and other Indigenous populations experience higher rates of infection and more severe outcomes associated with disease and illness than is observed in the general Canadian population (Lee et al., 2023; ... -
Trust and surveillance : four themes and definitions / by Stephanie Schutte.
(2010)This is a study that examines the impacts surveillance can have on trust levels in society. The main purpose is to attempt to determine whether surveillance negotiates, manipulates, replaces or damages trust in others. The ... -
Tsattine People and Bison: Pre-Colonial Relationships and Ancestral Territories
(2022)Traditional knowledge and historical records indicate that communal hunting was an important practice for subarctic Beaver people (Dunne-zaa / Dane-zaa / Tsattine) of northern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. ... -
Tuberculosis education program for long term care homes / by Marcia L. Matthews.
(2009)Outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as SARS have highlighted the importance of infection prevention and control practices. Diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) continue to persist and pose a threat if not understood and ... -
Tunable high-power fiber laser and its application to produce Brillouin fiber lasers
(2012-11-10)A tunable continuous wave single-longitudinal-mode fiber laser is proposed and developed. A saturable absorber, as well as, an all-fiber Fabry-Perot filter was used in the laser cavity to reduce mode-hopping. The laser ... -
A Tunable high-static-low-dynamic-stiffness isolator and a fuzzy-neural network based active control isolator
(2009)Excessive vibration can be detrimental to a wide variety of structures and machines. Vibration isolation is an effective means to suppress vibration. This study focuses on development of some new techniques to improve ... -
A tunable multi-stable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester
(2021)The vibration energy harvester is intended to convert ambient environmental energy into electrical energy. It has great potential to be an alternative to the conventional battery in low-power electric devices. A traditional ... -
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical fiber was tapered with a dynamic ... -
Two concepts of illiberty: rethinking the left-right political spectrum through moral psychology
(2025)By examining how three political orientations: Left-wing authoritarianism, libertarianism (subsequently divided into lifestyle and economic liberty), and Right-wing authoritarianism related to moral values, the current ... -
Two-dimensional molecular assembly and surface-confined reaction of pyrene-based bifunctional molecules on silver (111) and gold (111)
(2025)Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted significant attention owing to their remarkable properties stemming from their reduced dimensionality. The bottom-up approach is one of the most promising methods to design ... -
A two-study investigation into the link between rumination and night eating, and symptom improvement following a mindfulness-based intervention
(2021)Night eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by a circadian delay in eating and nocturnal awakenings with ingestions. Its onset is related to stress and the syndrome is linked to depressed mood, anxiety, sleep problems, ... -
UAVs employment in the next generation wireless communication systems
(2023)New network architectures of communication systems are required to support and connect the next generation of wireless networks. This thesis focuses on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as integral components of future ... -
Ultimate tensile deformation and strength capacity of shear tab connections
(2019)Single plate or shear tab is a common simple connection to connect steel beams to columns. The connection is traditionally designed for the shear load transferred from the supported beam only, while it has long been ...
