Multi-scale modeling of head kinematics and brain tissue response to blast exposure
(Springer, 2019-09-15)Injuries resulting from blast exposure have been increasingly prevalent in recent conflicts, with a particular focus on the risk of head injury. In the current study, a multibody model (GEBOD) was used to investigate the ... -
Multiaxial cyclic behaviour and fatigue modelling of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Multiaxial fatigue characteristics of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion are studied through fully-reversed strain controlled cyclic experiments including pure torsional and combined axial-torsional at 0, 45 and 90 phase angle shifts. ... -
Multicopper Laccase Mimicking Nanozymes with Nucleotides as Ligands
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-18)Using nanomaterials to achieve functional enzyme mimics (nanozymes) is attractive for both applied and fundamental research. Laccases are multicopper oxidases highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. ... -
Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)Let Fq[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. We employ Wooley’s new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in Fq[t]. These results allow us to apply a ... -
Multilevel Monte Carlo for noise estimation in stochastic multiscale systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The purpose of this study is to adapt Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) sampling technique for random noise estimation in stochastic multiscale systems and evaluate the performance of this method. The system under consideration ... -
Multimaterial Mesh-Based Surface Tracking
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-07-01)We present a triangle mesh-based technique for tracking the evolution of three-dimensional multimaterial interfaces undergoing complex deformations. It is the first non-manifold triangle mesh tracking method to simultaneously ... -
Multimedia Showdown: A Comparative Analysis of Audio, Video and Avatar-Based Communication
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-08-03)Our new work culture relies heavily on online meetings and computer-mediated communication (CMC). However, making an online meeting engaging while keeping communication productive is a major challenge. We collected ... -
Multiple imputation for the analysis of incomplete compound variables
(Wiley, 2015-06)In many settings interest lies in modelling a compound variable defined as a function of two or more component variables. When one or more of the components are missing, the compound variable is not observed and a strategy ... -
Multiple negative molybdenum isotope excursions in the Doushantuo Formation (South China) fingerprint complex redox-related processes in the Ediacaran Nanhua Basin
(Elsevier, 2019-09-15)The Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation offers one of the most complete and extensively studied records of end- Neoproterozoic biotic and environmental change. Here, we report multiple coeval negative molybdenum (Mo) ... -
Multiple Stressors in the Environment: The Effects of Exposure to an Antidepressant (Venlafaxine) and Increased Temperature on Zebrafish Metabolism
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-11-19)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors working cumulatively to alter ecosystems. Wastewater-dominated environments are often riddled by a myriad of stressors, such as chemical and ... -
Multiplex RT-qPCR assay (N200) to detect and estimate prevalence of multiple SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern in wastewater
(medRxiv, 2022-04-13)Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has become an effective tool around the globe for indirect monitoring of COVID-19 in communities. Quantities of viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater are related to numbers of ... -
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 ... -
Multiscale models of kidney function and diseases
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The kidney is a complex system whose function is the result of synergistic operations among a number of biological processes. The spatial and functional scales of those processes span a wide range. To interrogate kidney ... -
Multisensory attention training for treatment of tinnitus
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-28)Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound with no physical sound source. Some models of tinnitus pathophysiology suggest that networks associated with attention, memory, distress and multisensory experience are involved ... -
Multistate analysis from cross-sectional and auxiliary samples
(Wiley, 2020-02-20)Epidemiological studies routinely involve cross‐sectional sampling of a population comprised of individuals progressing through life history processes. We consider features of a cross‐sectional sample in terms of the ... -
A Multistate Model for Bivariate Interval-Censored Failure Time Data
(Wiley, 2008-12)Interval-censored life-history data arise when the events of interest are only detectable at periodic assessments. When interest lies in the occurrence of two such events, bivariate-interval censored event time data are ... -
Mutual inhibition through hybrid oligomer formation of daptomycin and the semisynthetic lipopeptide antibiotic CB-182,462
(Elsevier, 2013-02)Daptomycin is a clinically important lipopeptide antibiotic that kills Gram-positive bacteria through membrane depolarization. Its activity requires calcium and the presence of phosphatidylglycerol in the target membrane. ... -
My data collection is complete, now what? Connecting researchers to Data Repositories that can support Cold Regions Researchers
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-27)The natural climate variability of the cold regions, together with the relatively sparse observational data sets and difficult terrain can make data collection which supports key science challenging. Notwithstanding, ... -
