• Limiting Autoimmune Neuroinflammation using Novel T Cell Suppressants & Investigating Overlapping Lysosomal Reductase Function in Macrophages and Osteoclasts 

  Ewanchuk, Benjamin Walter (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-19)

  Aberrant activation of adaptive immune cells can culminate in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, potent anti-inflammatory properties for the cooling compound, icilin, and its receptor target, ...

• The Role of Procalcitonin Measurements in Predicting Clinical Outcomes in Critically Ill/Injured Patients 

  Al Rawahi, Aziza (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-12)

  Background: Major trauma is associated with high incidence of septic complications and multiple organ dysfunction (MOD). We assessed the prognostic value of serum and peritoneal procalcitonin (PCT) levels after trauma. ...

• Numerical Modelling using Finite Element Analysis with Advanced Soil Constitutive Models: Static and Quasi-static Approaches 

  Bach, Thang Dinh (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-07-12)

  The analysis of geostructures with failure as a central topic has been traditionally pursued through limit equilibrium methods in geotechnical engineering. In this thesis, the finite element approach together with advanced ...

• Resolving Complex Microbial Populations and Transmission Networks Through Haplotype Reconstruction 

  Mak, Lauren (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is frequently applied to a mixture of genomes from a complex population that has to be bulk-sequenced. For instance, in virology, the outcome of viral sequencing is generally a mixture of ...

• Examining Neighbourhood Socioeconomic Status, Anxiety and Depression during Pregnancy, and Preterm Birth 

  Adhikari Dahal, Kamala (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  Background: Understanding of influence of anxiety, depression, and neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) on the risk of preterm birth (PTB) is unclear. This doctoral research examined the ability of neighbourhood SES ...

• Joint modeling of clustered binary data with crossed random effects via the Gaussian copula mixed model 

  Jaman, Ajmery (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-07-11)

  Models with crossed random effects are common in reader-based diagnostic studies, where the same group of readers evaluate patients for certain diseases; an example is diabetic retinopathy study in Alberta, Canada. Although ...

• Enhancing Tribological Properties of Metallic Sliding Surfaces through Micro Multi-texturing Techniques 

  Reséndiz-Pérez, Jaime De Jesús (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  Friction reduction is important for minimizing energy loss and improving the life of sliding components. Surface texturing is considered an effective way to control the wear and friction on these components. In this research, ...

• Multimodal Spatiotemporal Collaborative Positioning Framework for Indoor Environments 

  Sakr, Mostafa (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  This thesis proposes and evaluates a unified collaborative and multimodal framework for indoor positioning and mapping using smartphones. The proposed framework aims to harness the potential of collaboration between different ...

• To Titrate or Not to Titrate: Factors influencing inpatient insulin management by residents and medical students 

  Hinz, Laura Elizabeth (Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, making inpatient management of diabetes an increasingly relevant issue. In teaching hospitals such as those affiliated with the University of Calgary, inpatient management of ...

• Cathelicidin contributes to prompt protective inflammation against Toxoplasma gondii 

  Tan, Yi Lin (Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, 2019-07-10)

  Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite infecting all warm-blooded animals, including humans. Although infected immunocompetent individuals are usually asymptomatic, in immunocompromised individuals, T. gondii can ...
