A Comprehensive Screen of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for DNA Adsorption, Fluorescence Quenching, and Anion Discrimination
(American Chemical Society, 2015-10-22)Although DNA has been quite successful in metal cation detection, anion detectioin remains challenging because of the charge repulsion. Metal oxides represent a very important class of materials, and different oxides might ... -
A comprehensive study of geothermal heating and cooling systems
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Geothermal heat is an energy source that is local, reliable, resilient, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable. This natural energy is produced from the heat within the earth, and has different applications, such as ... -
A comprehensive study on the stability analysis of vehicle dynamics with pure/combined-slip tyre models
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-09-28)In this paper, a vehicle's lateral dynamic model is developed based on the pure and the combined-slip LuGre tyre models. Conventional vehicle's lateral dynamic methods derive handling models utilising linear tyres and ... -
Compressed Sensing for Elastography in Portable Ultrasound
(Sage Journals, 2017-07-01)Portable wireless ultrasound has many advantages such as high portability, easy connectivity, strong individuality, as well as on-site diagnostic ability in real-time. Some of the modern portable ultrasound devices offer ... -
Compressions of Compact Tuples
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We study the matrix range of a tuple of compact operators on a Hilbert space and examine the notions of minimal, nonsingular, and fully compressed tuples. In this pursuit, we refine previous results by characterizing ... -
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Applied to a Glass Vaporization Chamber for Introduction of Micro- or Nano-Size Samples into Lab-Based ICPs and to a CFD-Derived (and Rapidly Prototyped Via 3D Printing) Smaller-Size Chamber for Portable Microplasmas
(IntechOpen, 2018-02-14)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used extensively in many industries ranging from aerospace engineering to automobile design. We applied CFDs to simulate flows inside vaporization chambers designed for micro- or ... -
The Computational Thematic Analysis Toolkit
(ACM, 2022-01)As online communities have grown, Computational Social Science has rapidly developed new techniques to study them. However, these techniques require researchers to become experts in a wide variety of tools in addition to ... -
Computationally Efficient Field-Theoretic Simulations for Block Copolymer Melts
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11-12)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) provide fluctuation corrections to self-consistent field theory (SCFT) by simulating its field-theoretic Hamiltonian rather than applying the saddle-point approximation. Although FTS work ... -
Computer Simulation of Window Condensation Potential
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998-12)Condensation on windows creates obscured view, can cause building damage, and may lead to mold growth and poor indoor air quality. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed new procedures to evaluate window ... -
Computing lower rank approximations of matrix polynomials
(Elsevier, 2020-05)Given an input matrix polynomial whose coefficients are floating point numbers, we consider the problem of finding the nearest matrix polynomial which has rank at most a specified value. This generalizes the problem of ... -
Concatenating Bipartite Graphs
(The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2022)Let x, y E (0, 1], and let A, B, C be disjoint nonempty stable subsets of a graph G, where every vertex in A has at least x |B| neighbors in B, and every vertex in B has at least y|C| neighbors in C, and there are no edges ... -
Concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid are reduced in maternal liver, adipose, and heart in rats fed high-fat diets without docosahexaenoic acid throughout pregnancy
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Fetal accretion for DHA is high during late pregnancy due to the brain growth spurt. Prior evidence suggests that DHA is mobilized from maternal liver and adipose to meet fetal accretion and physiological requirements. ... -
A conceptual IoT-based early-warning architecture for remote monitoring of COVID-19 patients in wards and at home
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, health services around the globe are struggling. An effective system for monitoring patients can improve healthcare delivery by avoiding in-person contacts, enabling early-detection of severe ... -
Concurrent photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants and photocathodic protection of steel Ag–TiO2 composites
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)In this study, coupled titanium dioxide-silver composite and steel electrode pairs were investigated for their use in cathodic protection under illuminated and dark conditions to prevent corrosion and enhance contaminant ... -
Confirming the need for virus disinfection in municipal subsurface drinking water supplies
(Elsevier, 2019-06)Enteric viruses pose the greatest acute human health risks associated with subsurface drinking water supplies, yet quantitative risk assessment tools have rarely been used to develop health-based targets for virus treatment ... -
Conflicts and Agreements: Canada’s Foundations and Their Consequences, 1865-1949
(The Confederation Debates, 2017-06)In response to curiosity about Confederation during this sesquicentennial year, historians Patrice Dutil, Daniel Heidt, P. Whitney Lackenbauer, Marcel Martel, Robert Wardhaugh, and political scientist Jacqueline Krikorian ... -
Conformation of Pyrene-Labeled Amylose in DMSO Characterized with the Fluorescence Blob Model
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-25)Amylose and poly(methyl acrylate) were randomly labeled with pyrene to yield a series of Py-Amylose and Py-PMA constructs, and their ability to form excimer in DMSO was characterized quantitatively by steady-state and ... -
Connecting the Dots in the Sky: Website Fingerprinting in Low Earth Orbit Satellite Internet
(Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS), 2024-03-01)Despite the implementation of encrypted channels, such as those offered by anonymity networks like Tor, network adversaries have demonstrated the ability to compromise users’ browsing privacy through website fingerprinting ... -
Consequences of cytochrome c oxidase assembly defects for the yeast stationary phase
