Understanding Undergraduate Engineering Student Information Access and Needs: Results from a Scoping Review
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2019-06-16)To the authors knowledge this is the first review to examine the current body of research on how engineering students access, use, and understand information; identify gaps in the literature, and how this can be used to ... -
Perceived Gaze Direction Differentially Affects Discrimination of Facial Emotion, Attention, and Gender – An ERP Study
(Frontiers, 2019-05-24)The perception of eye-gaze is thought to be a key component of our everyday social interactions. While the neural correlates of direct and averted gaze processing have been investigated, there is little consensus about how ... -
Spontaneous eye-movements in neutral and emotional gaze-cuing: An eye-tracking investigation
(Elsevier, 2019-04)Our attention is spontaneously oriented in the direction where others are looking. This attention shift manifests as faster responses to peripheral targets when they are gazed at by a central face instead of gazed away ... -
Fast Multi-Level Co-Clustering
(2013)We present a new multilevel method for hierarchical co-clustering. The fast multilevel co-clustering method (FMCC) implements a bi-coarsening process on the bipartite graph induced by the feature matrix. It does so in a ... -
Benders Decomposition for Profit Maximizing Hub Location Problems with Capacity Allocation
(2019-06)This paper models capacity allocation decisions within profit maximizing hub location problems to satisfy demand of commodities from different market segments. A strong deterministic formulation of the problem is presented ... -
Charting the course: Developing a roadmap of research priorities in the Canadian RDM landscape
(2019)Launched in 2015, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Portage Network is dedicated to the shared stewardship of research data in Canada through developing a national research data culture, fostering a ... -
Is blur sensitivity altered in children with progressive myopia?
(Elsevier, 2019-01)School aged children with progressive myopia show large accommodative lags to blur only cue which is suggestive of a large depth of focus (DOF). While DOF measures are lacking in this age group, their blur detection and ... -
From the ground up: Building a roadmap of research priorities for a national research data management community
(2019-05)Launched in 2015, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Portage Network is dedicated to the shared stewardship of research data in Canada through fostering national communities of practice for research data, ... -
Storey-based stability of unbraced steel frames under piece-linear temperature distributions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-21)There are many cases where the elastic modulus of a structural member will vary longitudinally, such as when a steel column is heated by fire. In such a case, the fire can compromise the integrity of the structural frame. ... -
In Support of Open-Loop Supply Chains: Expanding the scope of environmental sustainability in reverse supply chains
(Elsevier, 2019-03-20)This study expands the environmental sustainability paradigm of reverse supply chains. The study examines the notion of closed-loop supply chains and suggests the use of the term in academia and business is too limited ... -
Mercury distribution and speciation in biochar particles reacted with contaminated sediment up to 1030days: A synchrotron- based study
(Elsevier, 2019-04-20)A previous long-term microcosm experiment showed mercury (Hg) in the aqueous phase of contaminated sediment was effectively stabilized through the addition of biochar. The present study focuses on the application of ... -
Thixotropic gel electrolyte containing poly(ethylene glycol) with high zinc ion concentration for the secondary aqueous Zn/ LiMn2O4 battery
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We have designed an aqueous gel electrolyte containing fumed silica as the thixotropic gelling agent and poly(ethylene glycol) (MW = 300 g·mol−1) as the non-thixotropic gelling agent. Poly(ethylene glycol) is also the ... -
Functional properties of navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) protein concentrates obtained by pneumatic tribo-electrostatic separation
(Elsevier, 2019-06-15)A sustainable, chemical-free dry tribo-electrostatic separation approach was employed to fractionate navy bean flour. The resulting protein-enriched fractions had 36–38% protein on a moisture free basis, accounting for 43% ... -
Interfacial bonding mechanism in Al/coated steel dissimilar refill friction stir spot welds
(Elsevier, 2019-06-01)Defect-free dissimilar Al/zinc coated steel and Al/AlSi coated steel welds were successfully fabricated by refill friction stir spot welding. However, Al alloy and uncoated steel could not be welded under the same weldin ... -
Three-dimensional micromechanical assessment of bio-inspired composites with non-uniformly dispersed inclusions
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)Bio-inspired composites with hexagonal platelet and cylindrical inclusions were studied. A novel algorithm termed staggered hardcore algorithm (SHCA) was used to rapidly generate 3D periodic representative volume elements ... -
A novel membrane electrode assembly design for proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Characterization and performance evaluation
(Elsevier, 2019-03-10)Conventional membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), a key component in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, only operates reasonably within a narrow range of operating conditions. In this study, a scaled-up MEA that can perform ... -
Characterizing the immiscible transport properties of diesel and water in peat soil
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Extensive pipeline and railway corridors crossing Canadian peatlands make them vulnerable to hydrocarbon spills, potentially impairing ecosystem health, so it is important to be able to forecast hydrocarbon fate and transport ... -
The number of valid factorizations of Fibonacci prefixes
(Elsevier, 2019-07-05)We establish several recurrence relations and an explicit formula for , the number of factorizations of the length-n prefix of the Fibonacci word into a (not necessarily strictly) decreasing sequence of standard Fibonacci ... -
VER-155008 induced Hsp70 proteins expression in fish cell cultures while impeding replication of two RNA viruses
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)The heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) inhibitor, VER-155008 (VER), was explored as a potential antiviral agent for two RNA viruses important to fish aquaculture, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) and infectious pancreatic ... -
Neural bases of eye and gaze processing: The core of social cognition
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)In this paper, we study profit maximizing hub location problems. We formulate mathematical models determining the location of hubs, designing the hub networks, and routing the demand in order to maximize profit. The profit ...
