There currently exists no available model for predicting the Sauter mean bubble diameter, D32, from the key process variables for mechanical flotation machines. This is seen as a significant shortcoming since flotation is a surface area (of bubbles) dependent process,…

This study examined the effects of the residential school system on the Cree and their communities. The four guiding questions for this study were: (i) How has the legacy of the residential school system affected the lives of the survivors…

This thesis presents a study of optimal threshold designs for energy-detection based spectrum sensing in a cognitive-radio network with a pair of Primary-User (PU) transmitter-receiver and a pair of Secondary-User (SU) transmitter-receiver uniformly distributed in their corresponding transmission and interference…

The question of rationality and modernity has played a key role in defining the West’sunderstanding of itself in relation to “the other.” Much of this self-defining was done in a waythat privileged a western model of rationality, which itself was…

This article explores commercial, academic, and national initiatives aimed at usingsequencing technologies to generate “actionable” genomic results that can beapplied to the clinical management of oncology patients. We argue that the term“actionable” is not merely a buzzword, but signals the…

Researchers and clinicians in the field of oncology have now entered the second decadeof targeted therapy, widely held to be a revolutionary new form of cancer therapyresearch. The present era is regarded as the end of brute empiricism: as laboratoryresearchers…

This article traces the history of research on resistance to drug therapy in oncology using scientometric techniques and qualitative analysis. Using co-citation analysis, we generate maps to visualize subdomains in resistance research in two time periods, 1975–1990 and 1995–2010. These…
