• CHESS: Changes in Hormones with Exposure to Student Stress 

  Crack, Laura Elizabeth (Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2019-08-20)

  Salivary cortisol levels measure the acute stress response and this daily measurement occurs in two phases: the cortisol awakening response (CAR; 30 minutes after waking) and the diurnal cortisol response (the slope of the ...

• Strongly Linearizable Implementations of Fundamental Primitives 

  Ovens, Sean (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-20)

  Linearizability is the gold standard of correctness conditions for shared memory algorithms, and historically has been considered the practical equivalent of atomicity. However, it has been shown [1] that replacing atomic ...
