Title Regulating Reproduction – Evaluating The Canadian Law On Surrogacy And Surrogate Motherhood

Excerpt Certain provisions of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act 2004 appear to have been enacted as a legislative response to the objections to surrogacy noted by the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies in 1993. However, the legislation may not be successful in tackling concerns generated by recent developments in assisted reproductive technologies. This thesis identifies […]

Title Constructing and Contesting Hegemony: Counter-hegemonic Resistance to the International Investment Law Regime

Excerpt I examine five international investment cases that embrace the neoliberal vision. This economic model provides a new, contested space between the construction of hegemonic globalisations from above and the contestation of these globalisations from below. The first objective is to describe this space. Each ends the same way: the exit of an unwanted foreign investor […]

Title The Effects of Competitive Context on Shade Avoidance Syndrome Evolution in Impatiens Capensis

Excerpt Competition plays a fundamental role in structuring ecological communities, and is a particularly important interaction for sessile organisms such as plants (Goldberg & Fleetwood 1987; Tilman 1994). To mitigate the negative effects of competition on fitness, plants can alter their phenotypes and reproductive traits through plastic responses. For example, decreases in the red to far-red […]

Title Comparative Energy and Carbon Assessment of Three Green Technologies for a Toronto Roof

Excerpt Three different green technologies are compared in terms of net energy and carbon savings for a theoretical Toronto rooftop. Embodied energy values are calculated through Life Cycle Analysis and compared to the estimated energies produced and/or saved by each technology. Results show that solar photovoltaics displace the most carbon per m2 of roof space and […]

Title Assessing Mercury Exposure Risk in the Lake Zapotlán Watershed, Mexico

Excerpt Mercury is an environmental contaminant of global concern. The distribution of mercury in freshwater systems is poorly characterized in Mexico, despite widespread contamination from industrial and urban effluents. The land use, geology, and hydrology of the Lake Zapotlán basin, Mexico are conducive to the delivery of elevated mercury in water to the lake due to […]

Title A Risk-based Evaluation of the Long-term Performance of Stormwater Infiltration Facilities

Excerpt Infiltration facilities are source control mechanisms that are implemented in urban developments with reduced natural permeable surfaces. Despite the development of design criteria for infiltration facilities, these systems continue to fail due to headloss development, overflow, or chemical breakthrough. The limited research on the long-term performance of these systems has emphasized the role of physical […]

Title A Role for ETA(253-412) in Peptide-based Delivery of Therapeutic Molecules into Cells

Excerpt The delivery of biomolecules by cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) is an innovative therapeutic strategy. However delivery efficiency is hindered by the entrapment of CPPs in vesicles, degradation, or recycling out of cells, which limits their delivery into the cell cytoplasm and nucleus. To overcome these barriers, we investigated a bacterial protein domain derived from Pseudomonas […]

Title Mortality in the Yukon: Post-harvest Effects on Structural Retention

Excerpt Structural retention harvesting represents one of the most important recent silvicultural innovations and is widely practiced in the harvesting of mature boreal stands. Following structural retention harvests, mortality of retained trees is often dramatically elevated compared to pre-harvest stands. I examined tree mortality following structural retention harvests in the southeastern Yukon Territory, using dendrochronological techniques […]

Title Canadian Pharmacists and Natural Health Products: Identifying Professional Responsibilities

Excerpt Natural health products (NHPs) are increasingly sold in pharmacies. The purpose of this study was to determine Canadian pharmacists’ attitudes about their professional responsibilities regarding natural health products. A cross-sectional, random sample survey design was used: 3356 questionnaires were mailed to a random sample of licensed pharmacists in all provinces/territories in Canada (except Nunavut). Survey […]

Title The New Ontario Human Rights Code: Implications for an Intersectional Approach to Human Rights Claims

Excerpt This paper explores the theory of intersectionality and its viability for the analysis of human rights under the new legal process and institutional framework in Ontario. First, I examine the debate between essentialism and intersectionality and conclude that intersectionality is a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to anti-discrimination laws. Second, I examine Canadian Human Rights […]
