Hillock-free and atomically smooth InSb QWs grown on GaAs substrates by MBE
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)Comprehensive studies on the surface morphological evolution of AlInSb metamorphic buffers and InSb QWs grown on top were conducted as a function of the GaAs (0 0 1) substrate offcut angles. We confirmed our earlier ... -
Historical overview of imaging the meibomian glands
(Elsevier, 2013-01)Growing knowledge of the role of the meibomian glands in dry eye disease and contact lens discomfort has resulted in a surge of interest in visualizing these glands within the eyelids. This manuscript provides an overview ... -
A Holistic Approach to Achieving SDGs: A Case Study of Dayalbagh, India
(NA, 2023-02-21)The paper analyses the achievement of SDGs at the global level, national level (India) and regional levels (Dayalbagh, Agra) using the SDG Index and finds that the progress towards achieving the SDGs has either slowed, ... -
Holography with a neutron interferometer
(The Optical Society, 2016-10-03)We use a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to perform neutron holography of a spiral phase plate. The object beam passes through a spiral phase plate, acquiring the phase twist characteristic of orbital angular momentum states. ... -
HopliteRT Source Queuing Bound Correction
(2020)We present a correction to the analytical source queuing bound for HopliteRT [1], [2], which addresses the counter-example put forward in Section IV-D of [3] by taking the effect of the in-flight jitter suffered by data ... -
Hot off the press! A comparative media analysis of energy storage framing in Canadian newspapers
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Energy storage (ES) is a keystone technology for advancing low-carbon energy transitions, yet energy system change continues to be influenced by socio-political acceptance of emerging innovations such as storage. An initial ... -
The housing market impacts of wastewater injection induced seismicity risk
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Using data from a county severely affected by the increased seismicity associated with injection wells since 2009 in Oklahoma, we recover hedonic estimates of property value impacts from nearby shale oil and gas development ... -
How are molecular crowding and the spatial organization of a biopolymer interrelated
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-21)In a crowded cellular interior, dissolved biomolecules or crowders exert excluded volume effects on other biomolecules, which in turn control various processes including protein aggregation and chromosome organization. As ... -
How are response properties in the middle temporal area related to inference on visual motion patterns?
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Neurons in the primate middle temporal area (MT) respond to moving stimuli, with strong tuning for motion speed and direction. These responses have been characterized in detail, but the functional significance of these ... -
How do close others to those with anxiety feel about treatment? Development and validation of the Treatment Concerns Questionnaire - Close Others
(Springer, 2022-07-19)Background. The close others (e.g., family members, romantic partners) of people with anxiety and related disorders are typically involved in their treatment decisions. However, we know little about close others’ attitudes ... -
How Does Moss Resist Evaporation? Towards Elucidating Site-Specific Influences on Sphagnum Moss Resistance
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-16)While multiple approaches to exist to quantify plant resistance to evaporation, these methods assume that the vegetation is vascular despite many ecosystems, such as peatlands, dominated by a surface cover of mosses. Mosses ... -
How Hot Are Your Ions in Differential Mobility Spectrometry?
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01)Ions can experience significant field-induced heating in a differential mobility cell. To investigate this phenomenon, the fragmentation of several para-substituted benzylpyridinium “thermometer” ions (R = OMe, Me, F, Cl, ... -
How I wasted too long finding a concentration inequality for sums of geometric variables
(2011)I wanted a concentration inequality for sums of iid geometric random variables. This took way too long. -
How Locomotion Concerns Influence Perceptual Judgments
(Guilford Press, 2017-06-01)Successful self-regulation involves both assessment (e.g., making the right choices) and locomotion (e.g., managing change and movement). Regulatory mode theory is a motivational framework that highlights the ways in which ... -
How many crowdsourced workers should a requester hire?
(Springer, 2016-01)Recent years have seen an increased interest in crowdsourcing as a way of obtaining information from a potentially large group of workers at a reduced cost. The crowdsourcing process, as we consider in this paper, is as ... -
How to turn that frown upside down: Children make use of a listener’s facial cues to detect and (attempt to) repair miscommunication
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Communication involves the integration of verbal and nonverbal cues. This study assessed preschool-age children’s ability to use their conversational partner’s facial expression to determine whether the partner required ... -
How Two Librarians Became Co-instructors For a First Year Course
(2015-01-30)In Spring 2014, two librarians co-instructed an undergraduate Pharmacy course at the University of Waterloo. Providing students with the skills to access medical/drug information, this course gave students the skills to ... -
How ‘transformative’ is energy storage? Insights from stakeholder perceptions in Ontario
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)‘Energy storage’ comprises a range of technologies of varying maturity and cost-effectiveness, which are increasingly considered to be an important part in building the electricity system of the future. As with any potentially ... -
Human dimensions of ecosystem-based management: Lessons in managing trade-offs from the Northern Shrimp Fishery in Northern Peninsula, Newfoundland
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Fisheries can have significant impacts on the structure and function of marine ecosystems, including impacts on habitats and non-target species. As a result, management agencies face growing calls to account for the ecosystem ... -
Human Rett-derived neuronal progenitor cells in 3D graphene scaffold as an in vitro platform to study the effect of electrical stimulation on neuronal differentiation
(Institute of Physics, 2018-03-21)Studies of electrical stimulation therapies for the treatment of neurological disorders, such as deep brain stimulation, have almost exclusively been performed using animal-models. However, because animal-models can only ...
