  Domansky, Katie (Arts, University of Calgary, 2018-12-10)

  After the “Somalia Affair” of the early 1990s, a government investigation concluded that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) had become dysfunctional as a professional military force and needed to be comprehensively reformed. ...

• Predictive Analysis and Recommendation for Managing Risk and Avoiding Hazard in Chemical and Oil & Gas Industrial Infrastructures 

  Polat, Serhan (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-12-07)

  Chemical processing industrial infrastructures such as oil & gas plants are operated with the risk of hazardous events which may lead to casualties, economic and/or environmental consequences. Fortunately, a variety of ...

• Running Pattern Recognition in a Comfortable and an Uncomfortable Shoe Condition 

  Manz, Sabina (Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2018-12-07)

  The diverse development of running shoes has mostly been driven by three functional factors: reducing injury risk, increasing performance, and increasing perceived comfort. The few studies that focused on comfort provide ...

• Feasibility Study of a Radial Turbine for a Solar Chimney Power Plant 

  Caicedo Flores, Paul Vinicio (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2018-12-07)

  Solar Chimney Power Plants (SCPPs) use solar radiation to increase the temperature of the air creating an airflow which is used to drive one or more turbines. Only one large-scale prototype has been built in Manzanares, ...

• Guidelines for Developing Low Frequency Model Equivalents in Emerging Electrical Grids 

  Al-Eryani, Sameh Mohammed Anas (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2018-12-06)

  Dynamic model equivalents of power systems is an ongoing topic that continues to be relevant despite computing power advancements. Today's electrical grids are going through significant changes. The integration and ...

• Ir-core Pt-shell Nanoparticles for the Electro-oxidation of Ethanol 

  Slaby, Jachym (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-12-06)

  This work was conducted in order to establish the behavior of Ir@Pt core@shell nanoparticles (NPs) during the catalysis of the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). Ir@Pt catalysts with < 1 monolayer of the Pt shell were ...

• Lower Extremity Muscle Activation Following a Previous Knee Injury: Implications for Post-Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis 

  Mohr, Maurice (Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2018-12-05)

  Individuals who sustain an intra-articular knee injury are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (PTOA) 10-20 years later. Compensatory activation patterns of knee muscles in response to the trauma ...

• The Behavioural, Neuroanatomical, and Molecular Effects of Chronic Social Stress on Mice That Lack Zinc Transporter 3 and Vesicular Zinc 

  McAllister, Brendan Barrymore (Arts, University of Calgary, 2018-12-04)

  In certain neurons, zinc ions are stored in synaptic vesicles by a dedicated vesicular zinc transporter, called zinc transporter 3 (ZnT3). Vesicular zinc can then be released synaptically, in an activity-dependent fashion, ...

• Exploring the Design of Visualizations to Facilitate Patient-Provider Communication 

  Rajabiyazdi, Fatemeh (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-12-04)

  Establishing strong patient-provider communication during clinical visits can have positive impacts on patient health outcomes. On the other hand, miscommunication between patients and healthcare providers can cause harm ...

• Evaluating the Emergent Effects of (Multiple) Security Mechanisms via Evolutionary Algorithms 

  Hudson, Jonathan William (Science, University of Calgary, 2018-11-30)

  Security mechanisms provide protection against system penetration and exploitation by providing coverage for vulnerabilities. However, security mechanisms often have demanding operational requirements that necessitate ...
