The model of interest describes a wind-driven current with depth-dependent eddy viscosity and is formulated in two different systems; a complex-velocity system and a real-value coupled system. In general, the Sinc-based methods excel over other traditional numerical methods due to their… more Full Text: An Application of the Sinc-Collocation Method in Oceanography A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY …

Abstract: <p>This research project focused on the positive behaviour changes in First Nations youth as a result of participation in a community-based recreation program. The study was a secondary analysis based on a qualitative data set. Both adults and youth were interviewed in one-on-one and focus group settings in 12 First Nations communities across Ontario. The data was analyzed using a grounded… more Full Text: FIRST NATION COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS OF POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR CHANGES IDENTIFIED IN YOUTH ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION IN A COMMUNITY RECREATION PROGRAM: A GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment …

Abstract: <p>This thesis comprises two parts:Part I describes a method to improve the accuracy with which the polarization
state of light can be characterized by the rotating quarter-wave plate technique.
Through detailed analysis, verified by experiment, we determine the positions of the
optic axes of the retarder and linear polarizer, and the wave plate retardance, to
better than 1° for typical… more Full Text: Precision Measurements Using Semiconductor Light Sources: Applications in Polarimetry and Spectroscopy A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of …

Abstract: <p>Bloodstain pattern analysis is fundamental to crime scene investigations by providing\ninsight into the estimation of the area of origin of a blood source. The selection of bloodstains from an impact pattern is the foundation from which the estimation of the area of origin is derived. The purpose of this research was to develop a theoretical model for stain selection and establish a more… more Full Text: INVESTIGATION OF A MODEL FOR STAIN SELECTION AND A ROBUST ESTIMATION FOR AREA OF ORIGIN IN BLOODSTAIN PATTERN ANALYSIS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science …
