Corundum formation by metasomatic reactions in Archean metapelite, SW Greenland: Exploration vectors for ruby deposits within high-grade greenstone belts
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Corundum (ruby-sapphire) is known to have formed in situ within Archean metamorphic rocks at several localities in the North Atlantic Craton of Greenland. Here we present two case studies for such occurrences: (1) Maniitsoq ... -
Visualising data distributions with kernel density estimation and reduced chi-squared statistic
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)The application of frequency distribution statistics to data provides objective means to assess the nature of the data distribution and viability of numerical models that are used to visualize and interpret data. Two ... -
“I gained a skill and a change in attitude”: A Case Study Describing How an Online Continuing Professional Education Course for Pharmacists Supported Achievement of Its Transfer-to-Practice Outcomes
(The Canadian Association for University Continuing Education, 2014-11-27)The convenience and flexibility of online learning clearly make it an attractive option for learners in professional development contexts. There is less clarity, however, about how it fares as a vehicle for enabling the ... -
Supporting student development through a cooperative education coaching program
(International Journal of Work-Integrated Learning, 2016)Uptake of new scopes of practice by pharmacists has been slow and inconsistent, which the literature suggests may be related to disconnects between pharmacists' established professional identities and the identities needed ... -
Incorporating sex, gender and vulnerable populations in a large multisite health research programme: The Ontario Pharmacy Evidence Network as a case study
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-20)Background: Funders now frequently require that sex and gender be considered in research programmes, but provide little guidance about how this can be accomplished, especially in large research programmes. The purpose of ... -
A graphene-based microporous layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Characterization and performance comparison
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)Water management is a critical issue for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, and the use of a microporous layer (MPL) substantially improves the PEM fuel cell performance, reliability and durability through improved ... -
Superhydrophobic flow channel surface and its impact on PEM fuel cell performance
(Oxford University Press, 2014-09-01)Water management is a critical issue in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and it is normally achieved through the modification of surface wettability condition for the cell components. In this study, ... -
Fast quantitation of opioid isomers in human plasma by differential mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry via SPME/open-port probe sampling interface
(Elsevier, 2017-10-23)Mass spectrometry (MS) based quantitative approaches typically require a thorough sample clean-up and a decent chromatographic step in order to achieve needed figures of merit. However, in most cases, such processes are ... -
Equilibrium ex vivo calibration of homogenized tissue for in vivo SPME quantitation of doxorubicin in lung tissue
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)The fast and sensitive determination of concentrations of anticancer drugs in specific organs can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and minimize its adverse effects. In this paper, ex vivo solid-phase microextraction ... -
Rapid determination of immunosuppressive drug concentrations in whole blood by coated blade spray-tandem mass spectrometry (CBS-MS/MS)
(Elsevier, 2018-01-25)Coated Blade Spray (CBS) is a technology that efficiently integrates sample preparation and direct coupling to mass spectrometry (MS) on a single device. In this article, we present CBS-tandem mass spectrometry (CBS-MS/MS) ... -
Relationships between depth and δ15N of Arctic benthos vary among regions and trophic functional groups
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N) of benthic primary consumers are often significantly related to water depth. This relationship is commonly attributed to preferential uptake of 14N from sinking particulate organic ... -
Male-female differences in households' resource allocation and decision to seek healthcare in south-eastern Nigeria: Results from a mixed methods study
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Ability to influence household decision-making has been shown to increase with improved social capital and power and is linked to better access to household financial resources and other services outside the household ... -
Robust inverse optimization
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Given an observation of a decision-maker’s uncertain behavior, we develop a robust inverse optimization model for imputing an objective function that is robust against mis-specifications of the behavior. We characterize ... -
Dendritic coarsening model for rapid solidification of Ni-superalloy via electrospark deposition
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Control of splat thickness in an electrospark deposition (ESD) process can be used to improve the mechanical properties of deposited Inconel 718. The lower cooling rates of thicker deposition splats obtained through higher ... -
Consequences of cytochrome c oxidase assembly defects for the yeast stationary phase
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is essential for a functional mitochondrial respiratory chain, although the consequences of a loss of assembled COX at yeast stationary phase, an excellent model for terminally ... -
Intentional tanning among adolescents in seven Canadian provinces: Provincial comparisons (CRAYS 2015)
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)This report explores intentional tanning behaviors among Canadian high school students in light of provincial restrictions on UV tanning device use among youth. Data are from the Cancer Risk Assessment in Youth Survey ... -
Multireference equation of motion coupled cluster benchmark study of magnetic model systems
(Elsevier, 2018-04-15)The multireference equation of motion coupled cluster (MREOM-CC) approach including spin-orbit coupling is applied to magnetic model systems FArO, FArOF and FArFOH, and compared to benchmark multireference Configuration ... -
Immunogenicity and antitumor activity of the superlytic λF7 phage nanoparticles displaying a HER2/neu-derived peptide AE37 in a tumor model of BALB/c mice
(Elsevier, 2018-06-28)Phage display technique has been increasingly researched for vaccine design and delivery strategies in recent years. In this study, the AE37 (Ii-Key/HER-2/neu 776–790) peptide derived from HER2 (human epidermal growth ... -
The characterization of γH2AX and p53 as biomarkers of genotoxic stress in a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brain cell line
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)Rainbow trout cell cultures were exposed to three genotoxicants and examined for effects on γH2AX and p53 levels by western blotting and on cell viability using the indicator dyes Alamar Blue (AB) for energy metabolism and ... -
A new approximation of Fermi-Dirac integrals of order 1/2 for degenerate semiconductor devices
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)There had been tremendous growth in the field of Integrated circuits (ICs) in the past fifty years. Scaling laws mandated both lateral and vertical dimensions to be reduced and a steady increase in doping densities. Most ...
