This research examines how self-regulated learning facilitates critical analysis development among undergraduate medical students in a journal club, and how computer-supported collaborative learning influences their self-regulated learning. Fourteen of the 29 second-year medical students who initially consented to participate in…

This thesis studies the linear and nonlinear dynamics of pipes conveying fluid. It consists of four peer-reviewed journal papers, three published and one submitted for publication. The aim is to investigate aspects of the dynamical behaviour of extensible and inextensible…

In this research I examined the implementation of the problem-based learning (PBL) approach, an innovation implemented as a part of the science education reform that Quebec, Canada, underwent in the last ten years. Throughout my research, I explore various approaches…

AbstractThis research sought to translate three standardized assessment measures of phonological processing known to be related to text reading, into experimental tasks that measure music processing. The primary aim of this thesis was to ascertain the relationship between these musically-adapted…

Information Science is an interdisciplinary field that interacts with other disciplines through its intellectual borders. While there is much research into the interdisciplinary nature of Information Science, little research exists that identifies the nature, extent, and quality of these extra-disciplinary…

Gas phase displacement reactions of boron trihalides from their trimethylamine aducts show that the order of acceptor power is BBr3>BCl3>BF3>1/2(B2H6). This order agrees with recent theoretical calculations and dipole moment, calorimetric, and infrared measurements on boron trihalide complexes with other…

Measurements have been made on the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance effect and the Hall effect on oriented w-type indium antimonide samples. The measurements were taken at room temperature and liquid air temperature using a magnetic field strength of about…

The observation of delayed proton emission is reported. Bombardment of both aluminum and silicon with 97-Mev protons leads to the emission of delayed proton energy groups from to 5 Mev. They follow the beta decay of S25 (T1/2 about 0.3…

The delayed-proton precursor 33AR has been produced by proton bombardment of a lithium chloride target in the internal beam of the McGill synchrocyclotron. The Half-life of 33Ar was measure to be (178±10) msec. to explain the delayed proton spectrum, two…

Rotational energy levels of axially asymmetric nuclei have been calculated in the manner of Davydov and Filippov, and a comparison with experiment shows good quantitative agreement. It is suggested that agreement may be improved by introducing the Bohr-Mottelson vibration-rotation interaction…
