• Securing Stella: A Platform for Real-Time Data Monitoring and Code Generation 

  Pitout, Etienne Kyle (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-06-12)

  The main objective of this thesis was to design, develop, and test a framework capable of real-time memory event monitoring and code generation in a pre-existing computer system. Conventional event monitoring strategies ...

• Interference Modelling and Broadcast Protocols for Cognitive Radio Mesh Networks 

  Gaafar, Mohamed (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2018-06-07)

  The main aim of this thesis will be the modeling and characterization of wireless interference experienced by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) especially in industrial applications. A comparative study between two broadcasting ...

• Bounded Width Dichotomies in Constraint Satisfaction Problems 

  Liprandi, Maximiliano (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-06-07)

  In this thesis we examine the connection between structures with bounded width, polymorphisms and pebble games. There has been extensive work on trying to prove the dichotomy conjecture for finite structures, namely, the ...

• Examining the Effects of a Knowledge-Based Intervention about Autism Spectrum Disorder on the Knowledge, Empathy, and Conative Attitudes of Typically Developing Students 

  Johnson, Sarah Emily (Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2018-05-28)

  Few studies to date have attempted to improve the social standing of students with ASD by designing interventions that affect the perceptions of typically developing peers. The purpose of this study was to determine if a ...

• Teacher as Environment: The Embodiment of Heartfulness in Teaching Practice 

  Mansfield, Brenda Elizabeth (Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2018-05-18)

  This research is an attempt to expand the topic of “heart in pedagogy” by exploring how the cultivation of positive emotional states may affect the pedagogical relationality between teacher and student and, ultimately, ...

• Awana niyanaan?/Who Are We? 

  Tucker, Angela Danielle (Arts, University of Calgary, 2018-06-05)

  In Canada, colonial perspectives have been privileged over Indigenous knowledge and has affected the connections that many contemporary Indigenous individuals have to their pasts. Yet today, the Canadian government continues ...

• Solutions of the Equation of Motion with Absorption for some Common Sources 

  Sun, Ye (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-06-06)

  Different kinds of solutions of the equation of motion (EOM) in a perfectly elastic medium have been derived and also have been widely recognized. However, in fact, we can hardly find an ideal medium without absorption. ...
