• Spatial relationships and occurrence patterns within a community of lemurs in a fragmented landscape 

  Jacobson, Zachary (Arts, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Identifying the factors influencing species occurrence and co-occurrence are essential for understanding primate distributions and community assembly processes. Lemurs, a group of highly threatened primates, are at risk ...

• The Role of Orexin in Non-Photic Phase Shifting 

  Horsley, Katelyn (Arts, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  The intergeniculate leaflet (IGL), a primarily visual structure, and its principal neuropeptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY), are essential for non-photic phase shifting. This creates a paradox: why is an inherently visual structure ...

• Analysis of a Vertical-Axis Tidal Turbine Using the Variational Multiscale Formulation 

  Dhalwala, Musaddik (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  This thesis first investigates the performance and near-wake characteristics of a full-scale vertical-axis tidal turbine under a uniform inflow and turbulent inflow with a 5% and 10% turbulence intensity. The governing ...

• Morphological and Activity-Dependent Effects of Astrocyte Activation in the Orbitofrontal Cortex 

  Sobey, Marissa (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the central nervous system (CNS), have significant roles in supplying energetic substrates to neurons, regulating blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, homeostasis of ions and ...

• Some Benefits, Drawbacks and Perils of Negotiated Settlement as a Price Regulatory Method of Pipeline Services 

  Jimenez-Montiel, Guillermo (Law, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Carriers and shippers have long preferred negotiation over litigation to solve issues of prices for natural gas pipeline services. However, parties frequently end up in litigation. This paper explains why this problem ...

• In Defense of Non-Comparative Harm 

  Taylor-Fergusson, Rachel (Arts, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  The typical account of harm, the Counterfactual Comparative Account of Harm, provides an assessment of harm as causing an individual to be “worse off” than they otherwise would have been. This account fails to correctly ...

• The Economic Impact of Infectious Bronchitis on the Canadian Poultry Industry 

  Phuntsho, Karma (Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Infectious bronchitis is a common, highly contagious, acute, and economically important viral disease of chickens caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a gammacoronavirus. It affects the respiratory system, reproductive ...

• Catalytic Upgrading of Wood Bio-Oil and Co-Processing with Petroleum Vacuum Gas Oil. 

  Santana Tijo, Nicolas (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Wood waste is inexpensive and a promising source for bio-oil synthesis as an alternative to decrease carbon intensity (CI) in liquid fuels. However, due to the highly reactive oxygenated compounds present in raw bio-oil, ...

• WEB-ENABLED SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR IDENTIFICATION OF MINIMUM-COST POWER TRANSMISSION LINES WITH REDUNDANCY CONSTRAINTS 

  Jha, Amit (Science, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Path redundancy is essential for safety and reliability in many real-world routing problems, such as the design of networks for power transmission or oil transportation. These problems typically involve finding the shortest ...

• The Role of Orexin in Social Behaviour 

  Dawson, Matthew (Arts, University of Calgary, 2022-09)

  Social behaviour is essential to the survival of most organisms and is produced by complex neural systems. The hypothalamus is known to be crucial for survival and reproduction. Recent research into the neural substrates ...
