E-banking and consumer debt
(Inderscience, 2021-01-01)Canadian consumers have a debt problem and averaged a nationwide debt-to-income ratio of 1.654 in 2016. Based on current research, it is unclear whether e-banking has a positive or negative impact on this ratio. This paper ... -
Early sensitivity for eyes within faces: A new neuronal account of holistic and featural processing
(Elsevier, 2014-08-01)Eyes are central to face processing however their role in early face encoding as reflected by the N170 ERP component is unclear. Using eye tracking to enforce fixation on specific facial features, we found that the N170 ... -
Early-Stage Incorporation Strategy for Regioselective Labeling of Peptides using the 2-Cyanobenzothiazole/1,2-Aminothiol Bioorthogonal Click Reaction
(Wiley, 2018-03)Herein, we describe a synthetic strategy for the regioselective labeling of peptides by using a bioorthogonal click reaction between 2‐cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) and a 1,2‐aminothiol moiety. This methodology allows for the ... -
Earth and environmental science immersive learning experiences using a Google Expedition Kit
(2019-07-31)How do we engage and motivate students in immersive learning experiences that are otherwise impossible (i.e. Geologic History of the Grand Canyon) or not feasible (i.e. 3D perspective of volcanoes of the world) or invisible ... -
Eco-Innovation with Opportunity of Licensing and Threat of Imitation
(Elsevier, 2017-03-20)We consider the product and process innovation effort decisions a sustainable (eco) manufacturer (innovator/leader) makes in the presence of a traditional manufacturer (imitator/follower) who may procure a license or imitate ... -
Edge coloring multigraphs without small dense subsets
(Elsevier, 2015-12-06)One consequence of a long-standing conjecture of Goldberg and Seymour about the chromatic index of multigraphs would be the following statement. Suppose $G$ is a multigraph with maximum degree $\Delta$, such that no vertex ... -
Effect of a Mobile Phone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial
(JMIR, 2018-10-23)Background: Digital mobile technology presents a promising medium for reaching young adults with smoking cessation interventions because they are the heaviest users of this technology. Objective: The aim of this study ... -
Effect of alloy composition on hot deformation behavior of some Al-Mg-Si alloys
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)The hot flow stress behavior of three Al-Mg-Si alloys was determined by performing hot deformation compression tests on a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator over the temperature range 400 °C–550 °C and at strain rates ... -
Effect of ambient humidity on the Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer
(Springer Nature, 2018-06-19)Purpose: The Cochet–Bonnet (COBO) aesthesiometer is the current standard in corneal sensitivity assessment. This study investigates the influence of ambient room humidity levels on the stimulus force exerted by the ... -
Effect of arm position on the prediction of kinematics from EMG in amputees
(Springer Verlag, 2013-02-01)Myoelectric control has been extensively applied in multi-function hand/wrist prostheses. The performance of this type of control is however, influenced by several practical factors that still limit its clinical applicability. ... -
Effect of Background Water Matrices on Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Product Removal by UV-LED/TiO2
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-04-30)In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of UV-LED-irradiated TiO2 in removing 24 commonly detected PPCPs in two water matrices (municipal wastewater effluent and Suwannee River NOM–synthetic water) and compared their ... -
Effect of Bezel Presence and Width on Visual Search
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-06)We investigate how the presence and width of interior bezels impacts visual search performance across tiled displays. In spite of a potential benefit from structured segmentation, we do not find significant differences in ... -
Effect of chain stiffness on the entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a polymer melt
(2019)Entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a monodisperse polymer melt and its effect on surface tension is examined using self-consistent field theory (SCFT). In order to assess the dependence on chain stiffness, ... -
Effect of climate change and mining on hydrological connectivity of surficial layers in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
(Wiley, 2018-09-28)This research analyses the impact of climate change and surface mining activities on the hydrologic connectivity of surficial (soil and geological) layers located in a watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. Surface ... -
Effect of coating weight on fiber laser welding of Galvanneal-coated 22MnB5 press hardening steel
(Elsevier, 2018-03-15)Tensile strengths of up to 1.5 GPa and fracture elongation of 8% in press-hardening steel (PHS) opened up a great opportunity to improve the crash performance of vehicles. However, due to the increased susceptibility to ... -
Effect of complementary food with small amounts of freshwater fish on whole blood n-3 fatty acids in Cambodian infants age 6-15 months
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)The impact of freshwater fish consumption on the status of long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) in infants in landlocked, low-income populations is unknown. We used secondary data from a randomized, single-blinded, ... -
Effect of composting and amendment with biochar and woodchips on the fate and leachability of pharmaceuticals in biosolids destined for land application
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Land application of biosolids can improve soil fertility and enhance crop production. However, the occurrence and persistence of pharmaceutical compounds in the biosolids may result in leaching of these contaminants to ... -
