PRG4 Use as a Protective Strategy Against Corticosteroid-Induced Cytotoxicity in Joint Tissues

Pejic, Tatjana

Towards Evaluating Agentic Large Language Models in Digital System Design

Link, Parker

Hardware design at the Register-Transfer Level (RTL) is an expensive, labour-intensive process with high stakes: bugs that reach silicon are largely unpatchable, and the engineering effort required to design, verify, and secure modern systems has reached unprecedented scale and cost. This thesis presents a systematic e...

Responses of Sulfate-Reducing Microorganisms to Biocide Treatments under Planktonic and Biofilm Conditions

Walker, Anna Louise

The souring and corrosion of petroleum-associated systems pose substantial operational and environmental challenges. Sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM), abundant in these habitats, are major contributors to these processes through the production of sulfide, a toxic byproduct of their metabolism, posing risk to human...

A Piece of the Pie: The Evolution of Impact Benefit Agreements and Indigenous Equity Participation in Energy Infrastructure Projects

Olakanye, Oluwatobi

This thesis examines the role of Indigenous equity participation and Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) in the approval and development of energy infrastructure projects in Canada. It builds on the foundation of Canada’s constitutional duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples under Section 35 of the Constit...

Algorithmic synthesis and extrapolation of wind tunnel aerodynamic coefficients for single-axis tracker systems

Spiliopoulos Grigorios

The reliability of the structural integrity of single-axis photovoltaic (PV) tracking systems at a utility-scale, are highly dependent upon accurate aerodynamic pressure coefficients determined through wind tunnel testing. The physical scaling limitations presented by the prototype and the economy of testing, restrict...

The Third Reich as Pseudo-Religion? Understanding Nazism through Ninian Smart’s Dimensions of the Sacred

Fortier, Chantel

This thesis poses the question: Was the Third Reich a pseudo-religion? The entry point for this question is Eric Voegelin’s concept of “political religion,” considered alongside the related interpretations of Nazism advanced by Raymond Aron and Emilio Gentile. Building on their work, this thesis extends the analysis of...

The Impact of Eplerenone Treatment on Aspects of Hypoxia in the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Model Studied with 9.4T MRI

Rahman, Mohammad Tasneem

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in which vascular dysfunction, including blood-brain barrier breakdown, cerebral hypoperfusion, and tissue hypoxia, is increasingly recognised as an early and persistent feature. Current disease-modifying therapies act on the adaptive...

Development of an Integrated Techno-Economic Screening Tool for Carbon Dioxide-EOR Implementation in Canadian Mature Oil Fields: A Risk-Adjusted Decision Framework with Real-Time Economic Parameters

NajamudDin, Syed M.

Investment decisions in CO₂-enhanced oil recovery (CO₂-EOR) for mature Canadian oil fields require simultaneous evaluation of technical feasibility, economic viability, carbon efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Current industry practice fragments these assessments across separate teams, producing evaluation timelin...

Injury Incidence Rates, Mechanisms, and Adherence to a Neuromuscular Training Warm-Up Program Among Adolescent Soccer Players

Siddiqui, Aisha Nayyar

Soccer is one of the most widely played sports among adolescents worldwide, and injuries are an important consideration within adolescent soccer participation. Neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up programs have been recommended as an injury prevention strategy; however, limited research has examined injury epidemiology...

The Impact of Media and Information Literacy: A Qualitative Analysis of the Role of Traditional Media and the Perception of Civil Society with Reference to the 2023 Nigerian General Elections

Agharite, Omofuoma

The 2023 general elections in Nigeria was underscored by widespread misinformation and disinformation across digital and social media, which also permeated offline conver- sations, necessitating an assessment of the current state of Media and Information Liter- acy (MIL) in the nation. The research focused on the impac...
