Accessing Medical Assistance in Death (MAiD): An interpretative phenomenological analysis of experiences with MAiD by family members and providers in Manitoba
(University of Winnipeg, 2021)
This research explored first-hand experiences with medical assistance in death (MAiD) in Manitoba. It aimed to uncover what experiences revealed about the process behind this new end-of-life option in Canada. Specifically, ...
Surface albedo and spectral variability of Ceres
(The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016-01-29)
Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active, but possibly sporadic, water outgassing as well as possibly varying spectral characteristics over a timescale of months. We used all available data of Ceres collected ...
Small-scale methane dispersion modelling for possible plume sources on the surface of Mars
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2012-10-11)
Intense interest in the characteristics of a methane source on Mars has been spurred by recent observations of a plume structure. The current NASA Mars Science Laboratory and future landers and orbiters will be tasked with ...
An assessment of prairie management practices for maintaining habitat quality for the endangered Poweshiek skipperling butterfly in Canada
(University of Notre Dame, 2022-08-10)
The Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) was once a common prairie butterfly in central North America, but is now critically endangered in Canada and the United States. The Poweshiek skipperling is confined to the ...
A chrono-geographic look at Mesolithic burials: an initial study

Over the past decade we have focused on two interrelated topics within Mesolithic burial studies, the relationship between burial number and burial date, and the chronology of Mesolithic sites with burials. Related to this ...
Measuring the nearness of layered flow graphs: Application to Content Based Image Retrieval
(IOS Press, 2016-03-01)
Rough set based flow graphs represent the flow of information for a given data set where
branches of these could be constructed as decision rules. However, in the recent years, the
concept of flow graphs has been applied ...
