Identifying Fenton-Reacted Trimethoprim Transformation Products Using Differential Mobility Spectrometry
(ACS Publications, 2018-04-17)A transformation product of trimethoprim, a contaminant of emerging concern in the environment, is generated using an electro-assisted Fenton reaction and analyzed using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) in combination ... -
Identifying model error in metabolic flux analysis - a generalized least squares approach
(BioMed Central, 2016-09-13)Background: The estimation of intracellular flux through traditional metabolic flux analysis (MFA) using an overdetermined system of equations is a well established practice in metabolic engineering. Despite the continued ... -
Identifying patterns of alcohol use among secondary school students in Canada: A multilevel latent class analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Harm from alcohol use depend not only on the volume of consumption but also on drinking patterns. This study identifies patterns of alcohol consumption in youth and investigates how these patterns vary across schools and ... -
Identifying Potential Conflict in Land-Use Planning Using a Values-Centered E-Participation Tool: A Canadian Case Study in Aggregate Mining
(2019-01-08)An innovative e-participation tool is used to facilitate the articulation of value-laden assumptions, and to identify key points of likely conflict in an aggregate mining controversy in Ontario, Canada. The expert model ... -
If we Build it, Will they Come?: Considerations for the Creation and Maintenance of Local Learning Object Repositories
(University of Waterloo Library, 2023-03-30)Over the past few years, libraries and institutions of higher education have created a significant quantity of digital learning content. From this wealth of instructional materials has come the need to consider the sustainable ... -
The illness-death model for family studies
(Oxford University Press, 2021-07)Family studies involve the selection of affected individuals from a disease registry who provide right-truncated ages of disease onset. Coarsened disease histories are then obtained from consenting family members, either ... -
Illusionary Order: Online Databases, Optical Character Recognition, and Canadian History, 1997–2010
(University of Toronto Press, 2013-12)It all seems so orderly and comprehensive. Instead of firing up the microfilm reader to navigate the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star, one needs only to log into online newspaper databases. A keyword search, for a ... -
Illustrating a new 'conceptual design pattern' for agent-based models of land use via five case studies—the MR POTATOHEAD framework
(Universidad de Valladolid, 2008)This chapter presents a "conceptual design pattern" (CDP) that represents key elements of standard ABM/LUCC models in a comprehensive logical framework and includes basic functionality and data often present in ABM/LUCC ... -
Image-based spatio-temporal model of drug delivery in a heterogeneous vasculature of a solid tumor — Computational approach
(Elsevier, 2019-05)The solute transport distribution in a tumor is an important criterion in the evaluation of the cancer treatment efficacy. The fraction of killed cells after each treatment can quantify the therapeutic effect and plays as ... -
