The Equity Dimension of Climate Change: Perspectives From the Global North and South
(Cogitatio, 2021-12-16)The articles in this thematic issue represent a variety of perspectives on the challenges for equity that are attributable to climate change. Contributions explore an emerging and important issue for communities in the ... -
Equity financing restrictions and the asset growth effect: International vs. Asian evidence
(Elsevier, 2019-10)This paper investigates the driver of asset growth to explain the cross-country variation of the asset growth effect. We find that institutional restrictions on equity financing constrain firms' abilities to grow assets, ... -
Equity in Urban Climate Change Adaptation Planning: A Review of Research
(Cogitatio, 2021-12-16)A growing number of cities are preparing for climate change by developing adaptation plans, but little is known about how these plans and their implementation affect the vulnerability of groups experiencing various forms ... -
The Erdős Theorem and the Halberstam Theorem in function fields
(Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2004)Introduction. For n ∈ N, define ω(n) to be the number of distinct prime divisors of n. The Tur´an Theorem [9] concerns the second moment of ω(n) and it implies a result of Hardy and Ramanujan [4] that the normal order of ... -
The Erdős–Kac theorem and its generalizations
(American Mathematical Society, 2008)Abstract. We give a survey of the Erd}o-Kac theorem and its various generalizations. In particular, we discuss an open conjecture of Erd}os and Pomerance about the distribution of the number of distinct prime divisors of ... -
Esquisse des chemins de la création chez Robert Melançon et Jacques Brault
(Lécole des langues et littératures de l'Université de Guelph., 2017)Résumé Cette étude s’intéresse au discours portant sur la création poétique dans les œuvres de Robert Melançon et de Jacques Brault, faisant ressortir certains de leurs points communs et de leurs différences. Chez Robert ... -
Estimates of gridded relative changes in 24-h extreme rainfall intensities based on pooled frequency analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The potential effect of climate change needs to be considered in urban infrastructure design and risk assessment to improve reliability. The present study proposes a methodology for obtaining grid-scale relative changes ... -
Estimating ancient seawater isotope compositions and global ocean redox conditions by coupling the molybdenum and uranium isotope systems of euxinic organic-rich mudrocks
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)The sedimentary Mo and U isotope systems have been commonly used as novel global ocean redox tracers due to their long oceanic residence times and redox-sensitive behavior. However, local sedimentary environments and ... -
Estimating Noise Floor in Sentinel-1 Images With Linear Programming and Least Squares
(IEEE, 2021-08-13)Sentinel-1 is a synthetic aperture radar platform that provides free and open source images of the Earth. A product type of Sentinel-1 is Ground Range Detected (GRD), which records intensity while discarding phase information ... -
Estimating the COVID-19 R number: a bargain with the devil?
(Elsevier, 2020-10-22)The basic reproduction number R0 is the average number of infections produced by a single infectious person in a population with no immunity. R0 has a close relative named the effective reproduction number R: the average ... -
Estimation and Assessment of Markov Multistate Models with Intermittent Observations on Individuals
(Springer, 2015-04)Multistate models provide important methods of analysis for many life history processes, and this is an area where John Klein made numerous contributions. When individuals in a study group are observed continuously so ... -
Estimation of Finite Population Duration Distributions from Longitudinal Survey Panels with Intermittent Followup
(Springer, 2013)We consider survival or duration times associated with spells (sojourns in some state) or events experienced by individuals in a population over a specified time period. Duration distributions can be estimated from data ... -
Estimation of longitudinal speed robust to road conditions for ground vehicles
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-06-14)This article seeks to develop a longitudinal vehicle velocity estimator robust to road conditions by employing a tyre model at each corner. Combining the lumped LuGre tyre model and the vehicle kinematics, the tyres internal ... -
Estimation of the subunit stoichiometry of the membrane-associated daptomycin oligomer by FRET
(Elsevier, 2012-07)Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that kills Gram-positive bacteria by depolarizing their cell membranes. This antibacterial action of daptomycin is correlated with the formation of membrane-associated oligomers. We ... -
Ethical Tech Innovation: Uniting Educational Initiatives and Professional Practice
(Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, 2021-08)Engineers and other workers at the forefront of technological innovation play a central role in shaping the future of our digital economy, and the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed with stark clarity the urgent need for ethical ... -
Evaluating Characteristic Parameters for Carbon Dioxide in the Sanchez−Lacombe Equation of State
(American Chemical Society, 2017)For many different pure substances, large numbers of competing characteristic parameter sets exist in the literature for the Sanchez−Lacombe equation of state. This is due in part to differing research requirements or ... -
Evaluating the Current State of Findability and Accessibility of Microplastics Data
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)The rapid growth in microplastic pollution research is influencing funding priorities, environmental policy, and public perceptions of risks to water quality and environmental and human health. Ensuring that environmental ... -
Evaluating the feasibility of administering a combination of online dietary assessment tools in a cohort of adults in Alberta, Canada
(2017-01)Purpose: Evidence suggests that combining tools, such as 24-hour recalls and food frequency questionnaires, may allow more accurate assessment of diet in epidemiologic studies. Webbased technology should make this approach ... -
Evaluating the Sampling Design of a Long-Term Community-Based Estuary Monitoring Program
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-08-02)Community-based monitoring programs (CBMPs) are a cost-effective option to collect the long-term data required to effectively monitor estuaries. Data quality concerns have caused some CBMP datasets, which could fill knowledge ... -
