Technology-facilitated sexual violence: exploring vulnerability factors, distress, and coping strategies in women
(2025)Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) — sexual abuse perpetrated through technological means — consists of several forms of unwanted sexual behaviours, including sexual harassment, cyberstalking, image-based ... -
Simultaneous broadband vibration suppression and energy harvesting using a magnetically enhanced piecewise-linear nonlinear energy sink
(2025)Nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) offer significant potential for simultaneous broadband vibration suppression (VS) and energy harvesting (EH) through the use of an essentially nonlinear spring (ENS). However, realizing an ENS ... -
Development and evaluation of a culturally woven transdiagnostic group intervention for First Nation children
(2025)The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has identified a need to address disproportionate levels of mental health needs among First Nation children while integrating Indigenous Knowledge. This research program ... -
The makings of a movement: new beginnings in Canadian folk schooling
(2025)With an emphasis on community, culture, and craft, folk schools offer poignant insights for those interested in transforming society through education. Folk schools are open enrollment, autonomous, non-competitive (ungraded), ... -
Order book curvature as a liquidity measure: evidence on high- frequency volatility in crude oil futures
(2025)This thesis proposes the limit order book (LOB) curvature as a new measure of liquidity. Using high-frequency data on crude oil futures traded on the CME, curvature is estimated from a power-law relation between normalized ... -
