Inferring context-specific essentiality networks using large-scale CRISPR-KO screens
… required, in only a subset of cell lines. These context-essential genes offer insights into vulnerabilities of different cancer types and provide promising targets for personalized cancer therapies. However, the challenge is to systematically identify and define those context-essential genes and …

The context-specific roles of a bioturbating crab (Austrohelice crassa) on ecosystem functioning
… production per unit of chlorophyll a. Important context-specific differences were also revealed, most notably for NH₄⁺ fluxes, which were higher where burrows and their associated microbial communities were most stable. Laboratory based flume experiments were conducted to test if increasing …

Identifying Context-Specific Synthetic Lethal miRNA Inhibition in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
… the inhibitors were toxic in a very sequence-specific manner and that they down-regulated the miR-17~92 polycistron. Down-regulation of the polycistron was toxic in a context-specific manner, and the down-regulation of the miR-17~92 cluster in sensitive cell lines mimicked activation of a 1α, …

The Development of Context-Specific Biofeedback Training Screens – An Application to Hockey Officials
… of this research project is to develop the first context-specific biofeedback training screens applied to hockey officiating. Working in conjunction with and obtaining approval from the Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA), participating referees and linesman were outfitted with a Contour 1080p© …

Towards a robust life cycle assessment tool for sustainable pavement designs : quantifying context-specific impacts of pavement albedo
… The net effect of RF and BED impacts in the context of pavement LCA remains unknown. This thesis presents a comprehensive approach to assess the effectiveness of pavement albedo modification strategies in urban neighborhoods. To estimate RF impact, we adapt an empirical analytical model from …

Perceptions of police use of force: the role of context-specific factors, police legitimacy, and belief in a just world
This thesis explores various factors that could explain variations in how acceptable police use of force is perceived to be among a Canadian sample. Four text-based vignettes depicting a police use of force encounter were used in the current study. The vignettes manipulated two factors that were …

Benchmark beating and its implications for earnings management : the role of context specific capital market incentives and analysts' cash flow forecasts
This doctoral thesis re-examines the phenomenon of ‘benchmark beating’, and the extent to which it is likely to reflect earnings management. To address this issue, the thesis considers two links between benchmark beating and earnings management, and these are outlined in two separate research …
