• Causal Inference with Missingness in Confounders 

  Bagmar, Md. Shaddam Hossain (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-15)

  Causal inference is the process of uncovering causal connection between the effect variable and disease outcome in epidemiologic research. Confounders that influence both the effect variable and outcome need to be accounted ...

• Structural and dynamic differences in the turbulent wake of cantilevered square and circular cylinders protruding a thin laminar boundary layer 

  Kindree, Matthew Gordon (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-08-16)

  This thesis documents a comparative experimental study of the vortical structures and dynamics in the turbulent wake of aspect ratio 4 cantilevered square and circular cylinders at a Reynolds number of 10500 protruding a ...

• Characterizing circadian behaviour in the BTBR mouse model 

  Vijaya Shankara, Jhenkruthi (Arts, University of Calgary, 2019-08-15)

  Circadian rhythms span across species and temporally co-ordinate behaviour and physiological processes to not only maintain a rhythm in the absence of cues but to also effectively coincide with external time giving cycles. ...

• Exploring Aboriginal Student Experiences with Post-Secondary Education through Photography and Story 

  Coble, James (Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, 2019-08-15)

  Post-secondary completion rates are lower for Aboriginal Canadians compared to non-Aboriginal Canadians. This phenomenon has received a lot of attention in the research literature. Reports and peer-reviewed research have ...

• Attitudes and Experiences of LGBTQI2S Inclusion in Figure Skating: The Role of Known Intergroup Contact 

  Schnell, Andrew Jonathan (Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2019-08-13)

  The sport landscape has shifted in recent years in relation to LGBTQI2S inclusion by way of greater awareness through academic research and popular publications, increased numbers of publicly “out” athletes, and the ...

• Brain Structure and Mental Health in Typically Developing Youth and Those with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Postnatal Adversities 

  Andre, Quinn (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-14)

  Mental health problems are linked to brain structural changes, primarily in the limbic system and prefrontal cortex, and commonly emerge in adolescence. Although progress has been made in understanding mental health ...

• Using the Price Equation to Quantify Species Selection and Other Macroevolutionary Forces in Cretaceous Molluscs 

  Jordan, Katherine J. (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-12)

  Species selection and other macroevolutionary forces are challenging processes to study and quantify when using fossil data. Here, I used the Price equation to analyze changes in geographic range sizes prior to and during ...

• The Impact of Surface Modified Nanoparticles on the Performance of Polymer Solutions for Heavy Oil Recovery 

  Corredor Rojas, Laura Milena (Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, 2019-08-13)

  The use of polymer flooding as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method to achieve a more uniform volumetric sweep of the reservoir has increased over the past ten years. However, chemical, thermal and mechanical degradation ...

• Investigating groundwater recharge rates and seasonality under irrigated and dryland conditions at two agricultural sites near Lethbridge, Alberta 

  Hughes, Alexandra Therese (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-09)

  In order to better understand the impacts of land use on groundwater resources, this study investigated the effects of irrigation on groundwater recharge at two study sites near Lethbridge, Alberta. Depression-focused and ...

• Essays on Endogenous Behaviour in Antitrust Litigation 

  Ata, Michael Norman (Arts, University of Calgary, 2019-04-12)

  In this thesis, I formulate and assess the strategic interaction between a firm and competition authority (CA) as a game. Unlike prior models of litigation, I allow the CA to be non-committal over enforcement by allowing ...
