Experiences of Food Insecurity Among Undergraduate Students: “You Can’t Starve Yourself Through School”
(Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education, 2019-03)Canadian post-secondary students are vulnerable to food insecurity, yet lack of examination of this issue has prevented identification of policy and program solutions. This mixed-methods study aimed to characterize the ... -
Advancing the evidence to improve the nutrition of populations: a refreshed vision and scope for Nutrition Journal
(Springer, 2017-07)This editorial introduces a revised and refreshed scope for Nutrition Journal, one of BioMed Central’s open access journals. Diet is among the leading risk factors for morbidity and mortality globally [1]. This signals the ... -
The other side of the screen: The impact of perspective-taking on adolescents’ online communication
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Introduction: In recent decades, adolescents’ interactions with peers have increasingly transitioned online. While socially interactive technologies provide multiple avenues for positive communication between peers, ... -
Dietary assessment is a critical element of health research – Perspective from the Partnership for Advancing Nutritional and Dietary Assessment in Canada
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016-10)Challenges and complexities associated with assessing dietary intakes are numerous, but not insurmountable. This opinion paper from Canadian researchers draws attention to the importance of building capacity and providing ... -
Comparison of recruitment and retention among demographic subgroups in a large diverse population study of diet
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Objective We examined the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal study of diet among diverse populations by comparing rates of response throughout recruitment and retention phases by demographic and other characteristics. ... -
Global Health from the Margins: contemplations from students engaging in interdisciplinary research
(journals.mcmaster.ca, 2018-04)Climate change, poverty, environmental degradation, and deepening inequality – the future before us offers no end of wicked problems and human health is deeply implicated in them all. This is not the first time we have ... -
Harnessing opportunities for good governance of health impacts of mining projects in Mongolia: results of a global partnership
(Springer, 2017-06)The Sustainable Development Goals call for the effective governance of shared natural resources in ways that support inclusive growth, safeguard the integrity of the natural and physical environment, and promote health and ... -
Evaluation of the online Beverage Frequency Questionnaire (BFQ)
(Springer, 2018-08)Background The contribution of beverages to overall diet is of increasing interest to researchers and policymakers, particularly in terms of consumption of drinks high in added sugars; however, few tools to assess beverage ... -
Does Stress-Related Poor Diet Quality Explain Socioeconomic Inequities in Health? A Structural Equation Mediation Analysis in Women and Men
(Oxford University Press, 2021-06)Objectives Individuals with a lower socioeconomic position (SEP) have poorer health than their more advantaged counterparts. Psychosocial stress and diet quality have been shown to individually mediate associations between ... -
Three-dimensional comparison of static and dynamic scapular motion tracking techniques
(Elsevier, 2014-02)The shoulder is complex and comprised of many moving parts. Accurately measuring shoulder rhythm is difficult. To classify shoulder rhythm and identify pathological movement, static measures have been the preferred method. ... -
Normative kinematics of reaching and dexterity tasks: moving towards a quantitative baseline for Functional Capacity Evaluations(FCEs)
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-12-15)Purpose: This work generates a comprehensive description of upper extremity and torso kinematics of a healthy population during reaching and dexterity Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) tasks. Methods: Upper limb and ... -
Comparison of model-predicted and measured moment arms for the rotator cuff muscles
(Elsevier, 2007-07)Background The ability of mathematical models of the shoulder to accurately replicate physiological muscle moment arms is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare model-predicted and experimentally measured moment ... -
Evaluation of regression-based 3-D shoulder rhythms
(Elsevier, 2016-08)The movements of the humerus, the clavicle, and the scapula are not completely independent. The coupled pattern of movement of these bones is called the shoulder rhythm. To date, multiple studies have focused on providing ... -
Children's Communicative Decisions Are Influenced by Gender, Shyness, and Peer Experiences
(Wayne State University Press, 2020-01)The present study examined how school-age children's communicative decisions are influenced by the situation, their social partner, and their own characteristics (gender, shyness levels, and history of peer relationships). ... -
Canadian Religion in Global Perspective

Predicting the Mesophases of Copolymer-Nanoparticle Composites
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2001)The interactions between mesophase-forming copolymers and nanoscopic par- ticles can lead to highly organized hybrid materials. The morphology of such composites depends not only on the characteristics of the copolymers, ... -
Block Copolymer-Directed Assembly of Nanoparticles: Forming Mesoscopically Ordered Hybrid Materials
(American Chemical Society, 2002)Mixtures of diblock copolymers and nanoscopic spherical particles can yield well-ordered hybrid materials, which can be used for separation processes, catalysis, and optoelectronic applications. Predicting the morphologies ... -
Effect of Nanoscopic Particles on the Mesophase Structure of Diblock Copolymers
(American Chemical Society, 2002)Introduction. The fabrication of novel biomimetic photonic and electronic materials requires the manipulation of both organic and inorganic materials at the nanometer length scale. One possible means of achieving this level ... -
Straightforward Synthesis and Evaluation of Polymeric Sensing Materials for Acetone Detection
(Wiley, 2020-04-02)Three polymeric materials (polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(methyl methacrylate)) have been selected, prepared and evaluated for potential use in acetone sensing (for possible diabetes-related applications). Of the ...
