Geriatric Medicine Leadership of Health Care Transformation: To Be or Not To Be?
(Canadian Geriatrics Society, 2013-12-03)Geriatric Medicine is well-suited to inform and lead healthcare system redesign to address the needs of seniors with complex conditions. We posit that geriatricians must urgently consider how to “brand” Geriatric Medicine ... -
Getting Started with Topic Modeling and MALLET
(The Editorial Board of the Programming Historian, 2012-09-02)In this lesson you will first learn what topic modeling is and why you might want to employ it in your research. You will then learn how to install and work with the MALLET natural language processing toolkit to do so. ... -
Gibbs Energy Dynamic Yield Method (GEDYM): Predicting microbial growth yields under energy-limiting conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)Biomass-explicit biogeochemical models assign microbial growth yields (Y) using values measured in the laboratory or predicted using thermodynamics-based methods. However, Y values are rarely measured under the low energy ... -
Gini-type measures of risk and variability: Gini shortfall, capital allocations, and heavy-tailed risks
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)We introduce and explore Gini-type measures of risk and variability, and develop the corresponding economic capital allocation rules. The new measures are coherent, additive for co-monotonic risks, convenient computationally, ... -
Glassy States in Asymmetric Mixtures of Soft and Hard Colloids
(APS Physics, 2013-11-14)By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ... -
Glazing System U-Value Measurement Using a Guarded Heater Plate Apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1988)Precise heat transfer measurements have been carried out during the last 20 years using a guarded heater plate apparatus. This apparatus has been adapted and used over the last several years to perform U-value measurements ... -
Global Health from the Margins: contemplations from students engaging in interdisciplinary research
(journals.mcmaster.ca, 2018-04)Climate change, poverty, environmental degradation, and deepening inequality – the future before us offers no end of wicked problems and human health is deeply implicated in them all. This is not the first time we have ... -
Global Land Use Implications of Dietary Trends
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
Global land use implications of dietary trends
(PLOS One, 2018-08-08)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
Global motion perception is associated with motor function in 2-year-old children
(Elsevier, 2017-09-29)The dorsal visual processing stream that includes V1, motion sensitive area V5 and the posterior parietal lobe, supports visually guided motor function. Two recent studies have reported associations between global motion ... -
Global ocean redox changes before and during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
(Springer Nature, 2023-02-13)Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events are recognized as widespread deposits of marine organic-rich mudrocks temporally associated with mass extinctions and large igneous province emplacement. The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event is ... -
Global Sampled-Data Regulation of a Class of Fully Actuated Invariant Systems on Simply Connected Nilpotent Matrix Lie Groups
(IEEE, 2021-02-09)We examine a regulator problem for a class of fully actuated continuous-time invariant systems on Lie groups, using a discrete-time controller with constant sampling period. We present a smooth discrete-time control law ... -
Global Stability of a Class of Difference Equations on Solvable Lie Algebras
(Springer, 2020-06-17)Motivated by the ubiquitous sampled-data setup in applied control, we examine the stability of a class of difference equations that arises by sampling a right- or left-invariant flow on a solvable matrix Lie group. The map ... -
Global survey of the omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid in the blood stream of healthy adults
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)Studies reporting blood levels of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), were systematically identified in order to create a global map identifying countries ... -
Global trends in timing and rates of chlorophyll-a increase in cold-temperate and temperate lakes
(Geochemical Society, 2022-07-11)Lakes are key ecosystems within the global biogeosphere. However, the environmental controls on the biological productivity of lakes – including surface temperature, ice phenology, nutrient loads, and mixing regime – are ... -
Global-connected network with generalized ReLU activation
(Elsevier, 2019-12)Recent Progress has shown that exploitation of hidden layer neurons in convolutional neural networks (CNN) incorporating with a carefully designed activation function can yield better classification results in the field ... -
Globalising the classical foundations of IPE thought*
(Contexto Internacional, 2015-06-09)Current efforts to teach and research the historical foundations of IPE thought in classical political economy in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries centre largely on European and American thinkers. If a more extensive ... -
