  • A transient period for enabling motion vision precedes the critical period for ocular dominance plasticity 
    Silver, Byron D.; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Faculty of Arts and Science, 2005Arts and ScienceDepartment of Neuroscience, 2005)
    The premise that mature visual function depends upon the nature of visual experience during development is based primarily on experiments showing that visual deprivation during a 'critical' period early in life causes ...
  • Transitions in death : the lived experience of critical care nurses

    This research explores how to best translate Blackfoot kinship terms that do not have a one-to-one equivalent in English, and how to represent cultural information regarding these kin terms in the Blackfoot-English dictionary ...
  • Treatment interventions following prenatal stress and neonatal cortical injury 
    Halliwell, Celeste I.; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of NeuroscienceArts and ScienceDepartment of Neuroscience, 2011)
    This thesis explores the potential for treatment interventions of an enriched environment and a vitamin/mineral supplemented diet toward the recovery of gestational stress and/or early cortical injury in rats. Two different ...
  • Treatment of nonspecific DNA-protein contacts and application to the excision mechanism of a unique human DNA glycosylase 
    Rutledge, Lesley R; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry, c2011Arts and ScienceDepartment of Chemistry and Biochemistry, 2011)
    This thesis concentrates on understanding how individual nonspecific DNA–protein contacts are used in the excision mechanism of the human DNA repair enzyme, alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG). Initially, studies focus ...
  • Tree species mapping around reclaimed oil and gas wells sites using hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing 
    Banting, James; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of GeographyArts and ScienceDepartment of Geography, 2016)
    Oil and gas activities in Alberta require disturbing forested lands, among other ecosystems, in order to extract resources. Due to the number of oil and gas sites requiring reclamation, monitoring can be problematic. Remote ...
  • A trickster paradigm in First Nations visual art : a contemporary application 
    Warn, Jaime Dawn-Lyn; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Faculty of Arts and Science, 2007Faculty of Arts and ScienceDepartment of Native American Studies, 2007)
    In the past few decades, Indian art has been available to the mainstream under the supervision of Western science and art history. For the sake of cultural survival and identity, countless Native artists, curators, critics, ...
  • Turing patterns in linear chemical reaction systems with nonlinear cross diffusion 
    Franz, David; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Faculty of Arts and Science, 2007Arts and ScienceDepartment of Chemistry and Biochemistry, 2007)
    Turing patterns have been studied for over 50 years as a pattern forming mechanism. To date the current focus has been on the reaction mechanism, with little to no emphasis on the diffusion terms. This work focuses on ...
