Backscatter in stratified turbulence
(Elsevier, 2016-11)In this paper, kinetic and potential energy transfers around a spectral test fil ter scale in direct numerical simulations of decaying stratified turbulence are studied in both physical and spectral domains. It is shown ... -
Bacteriophage interactions with mammalian tissue: Therapeutic applications
(Elsevier, 2019-05)The human body is a large reservoir for bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages (phages), which participate in dynamic interactions with their bacterial and human hosts that ultimately affect human health. The current ... -
Badges: Abzeichen als sprechende Objekte
(De Gruyter, 2017-05)This article presents early findings regarding the interplay between script (text) and image on medieval badges, which are small, brooch-like objects made from lead-tin alloy (pewter) and adorned with familiar images drawn ... -
BanditFuzz: Fuzzing SMT Solvers with Reinforcement Learning
(2020)Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers are fundamental tools in the broad context of software engineering and security research. If SMT solvers are to continue to have an impact, it is imperative we develop efficient ... -
Barriers to the Management of Heart Failure in ON Long Term Care Homes: An Interprofessional Care Perspective
(Journal of Research in Interprofessional Practice and Education, 2013-03-01) -
A battery hardware-in-the-loop setup for concurrent design and evaluation of real-time optimal HEV power management controllers
(Inderscience publishers, 2013-11-03)We have developed a battery hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setup, which can expedite the design and evaluation of power management controllers for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in a novel cost- and time-effective manner. The ... -
Bayesian Filtering of Surface EMG for Accurate Simultaneous and Proportional Prosthetic Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-12-01)The amplitude of the surface EMG (sEMG) is commonly estimated by rectification or other nonlinear transformations, followed by smoothing (low-pass linear filtering). Although computationally efficient, this approach leads ... -
Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II: Reflections on Transforming Research Goals into Gameplay Mechanics
(ACM, 2018-10-23)We reflect on the design, implementation, and testing of the experimental testbed game Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II and the numerous design lessons learned in transitioning theoretical research questions about social presence ... -
Behavior Change Techniques Present in Wearable Activity Trackers: A Critical Analysis
(JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2016-04-27)Background: Wearable activity trackers are promising as interventions that offer guidance and support for increasing physical activity and health-focused tracking. Most adults do not meet their recommended daily activity ... -
Behaviour of apatite during partial melting of metapelites and consequences for prograde suprasolidus monazite growth
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)The suprasolidus behaviour of apatite and monazite is examined for an average metapelite composition using phase equilibria modelling coupled with solubility equations of these minerals. Both closed- and open-system scenarios ... -
Beluga Whale Detection in the Cumberland Sound Bay using Convolutional Neural Networks
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-03-29)The Cumberland Sound Beluga is a threatened population of belugas and the assessment of the population is done by a manual review of aerial surveys. The time-consuming and labour-intensive nature of this job motivates the ... -
Benchmarking a self-consistent field theory for small amphiphilic molecules
(RSC publishing, 2012-08-14)A minimalist self-consistent field theory for small amphiphilic molecules is presented. The equations for this model are less involved than those for block copolymers and are easily implemented computationally. A new ... -
Benders Decomposition for Profit Maximizing Hub Location Problems with Capacity Allocation
(2019-06)This paper models capacity allocation decisions within profit maximizing hub location problems to satisfy demand of commodities from different market segments. A strong deterministic formulation of the problem is presented ... -
Best Practices for Library Exhibitions
(Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA), 2021-11)Best Practices for Library Exhibitions provides a comprehensive framework and recommended practices for developing and managing exhibitions in art libraries and similar types of information environments. It offers real-world ... -
Best response dynamics improve sustainability and equity outcomes in common-pool resources problems, compared to imitation dynamics
(Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2021-01-21)Shared resource extraction among profit-seeking individuals involves a tension between individual benefit and the collective well-being represented by the persistence of the resource. Many game theoretic models explore ... -
Beverage consumption and energy intake among Canadians: analyses of 2004 and 2015 national dietary intake data
(BioMed Central, 2019-10-19)Background Among adults and children consuming Western diets, beverages are significant sources of free sugars, saturated fats, excess calories, and alcohol, with relevance to chronic disease risk. The impact of recent ... -
Bi-objective short-term scheduling in a rolling horizon framework: a priori approaches with alternative operational objectives
(Elsevier, 2019-11)This study addresses short-term scheduling problems with throughput and make-span as conflicting objectives, focusing on a priori multi-objective methods. Two contributions are presented. The first contribution is to propose ... -
