• An Integrated Approach to Improving Efficiency in Photosynthetic Microbial Systems 

  Zorz, Jacqueline (Science, University of Calgary, 2021-05-26)

  Cyanobacteria-based biotechnology is regarded as a promising opportunity for renewable bioenergy and bioproducts. As cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms, they only require sunlight, carbon dioxide, nutrients, ...

• Beyond the Hashtag: Exploring the #MeToo Movement in News Media 

  Jimenez, Angeli Nicole (Arts, University of Calgary, 2021-05-14)

  The phrase “me too” was originally coined by African American women’s rights activist Tarana Burke in 2006 to build solidarity among survivors of sexual assault (Mendes et al., 2018). However, the #MeToo movement gained ...

• Experimental Measurement and Applied Modelling of Patellar Tendon Strain 

  Firminger, Colin Robert (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2021-05-27)

  Patellar tendinopathy is an overuse injury that occurs from repetitive loading of the patellar tendon in a scenario resembling mechanical fatigue. Tendon strain is correlated with the number of repetitive loading cycles ...

• Broadband Internet Rollout in Rural Vietnam: From Policy to Everyday Use 

  Pham, Trang (Arts, University of Calgary, 2021-05-21)

  This thesis examines broadband infrastructure rollout and rural residents’ Internet adoption and use in Vietnam through an analysis of the country’s Internet policy documents from 1990 to 2020. It is based on semi-structured ...

• Provenance of Late Cretaceous to Paleogene rocks of the Alberta Foreland Basin: Rethinking retro-arc drainage systems in the Canadian Cordillera 

  Super, Samantha Christine (Science, University of Calgary, 2021-05-14)

  Late Cretaceous to Paleogene strata of the Alberta Foreland Basin preserve a record of sediment dispersal in the Canadian Cordillera during the Laramide Orogeny. The provenance of these strata has only been loosely ...

• Reframing families: Transforming meaning in families with transgender and gender non-binary members 

  McNeilly, Elizabeth A. (Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2021-05-19)

  Although studies have been conducted on the experiences of transgender and non-binary children, limited research has looked at the parents of these children. This qualitative study explored the transformative learning ...

• Effector function prior to establishment of the pathogen niche is required for protective CD4+ T cell-mediated immunity 

  Hohman, Leah Shan (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2021-05-21)

  CD4+ T helper 1 effector cells (Th1EFF) are critical for protective immunity against pathogens that employ phagocytic cells as hosts for replication and persistence. Despite this knowledge, the degree to which protective ...

• A Numerical Investigation of the Critical Point for Recirculation in Axisymmetric Confined Jets 

  Doerksen, Graham (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2021-05-14)

  The Craya-Curtet number is a similarity parameter used to characterize confined jets. Below the critical Craya-Curtet number, a recirculation zone will exist inside the confined jet. A literature review of confined jets ...
