Tailoring green and sintered density of pure iron parts using binder jetting additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Binder jetting additive manufacturing (BJAM) is a comparatively low-cost process that enables manufacturing of complex and customizable metal parts. This process is applied to low-cost water-atomized iron powder with the ... -
Taking Care of Authenticity on the CBC’s Randy’s Vinyl Tap
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-06-19)This essay explores the radio program Randy’s Vinyl Tap, which is hosted by Randy Bachman and airs on CBC Radio 1 (2005-present). I argue that the show’s complex reception can be explained, in part, by the fact that it ... -
A tale of two Islandoras
(2017-02-02)The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) and the University of Waterloo (UW) represent two distinct experiences on the road to implementing Islandora – one pioneered its development and the other is launching the ... -
TalkingTiles: Supporting Personalization and Customization in an AAC App for Individuals with Aphasia
(ACM, 2015-11)The development of ‘Post-PC’ interactive surfaces, such as smartphones and tablets, and specialized support software informed by HCI research has created new opportunities for Augmentative and Alternative Communication ... -
Tandem DNAzymes for mRNA cleavage: choice of enzyme, metal ions and the antisense effect
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)The concept of DNAzyme-based gene silencing via mRNA cleavage was proposed over twenty years ago. A number of studies regarding intracellular gene silencing have been reported as well. However, questions have been raised ... -
Tandem Phosphorothioate Modifications for DNA Adsorption Strength and Polarity Control on Gold Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2014-09-10)Unmodified DNA was recently used to functionalize gold nanoparticles via DNA base adsorption. Compared to thiolated DNA, however, the application of unmodified DNA is limited by the lack of sequence generality, adsorption ... -
Tapasin's protein interactions in the rainbow trout peptide-loading complex
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I receptors play a key role in the immune system by presenting non-self peptides to T cell lymphocytes. In humans, the assembly of the MHC class I with a peptide is mediated by ... -
Target capture and station keeping of fixed speed vehicles without self-location information
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Target capture and station keeping problems for an autonomous vehicle agent have been studied in the literature for the cases where the position of the agent can be measured. Station keeping refers to moving the agent to ... -
Targeted nanoparticle binding & detection in petroleum hydrocarbon impacted porous media
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Targeted nanoparticle binding has become a core feature of experimental pharmaceutical product design which enables more efficient payload delivery and enhances medical imaging by accumulating nanoparticles in specific ... -
Taxes and front-of-package labels improve the healthiness of beverage and snack purchases: a randomized experimental marketplace
(BioMed Central, 2019-05-21)Background Sugar taxes and front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling systems are strategies to address diet-related non-communicable diseases. However, there is relatively little experimental data on how these strategies ... -
Teaching with an Interactive E-book to Improve Children's Online Privacy Knowledge
(ACM, 2016-06-21)We designed the Cyberheroes interactive e-book and conducted a preliminary user study to test its effectiveness in educating children aged 7 to 9 about online privacy risks. Children and parents found the book to be fun ... -
Tear evaporation rates: What does the literature tell us?
(Elsevier, 2017-12-24)Purpose A previous literature review reported tear evaporation rates (TERs) from studies conducted on rabbits and humans between 1941 and 2003. Closer examination of the presented data revealed inaccuracies in the reporting ... -
Tear exchange and contact lenses: A review
(Elsevier, 2015-01)Tear exchange beneath a contact lens facilitates ongoing fluid replenishment between the ocular surface and the lens. This exchange is considerably lower during the wear of soft lenses compared with rigid lenses. As a ... -
The tear ferning test: a simple clinical technique to evaluate the ocular tear film
(Wiley, 2014-08-20)A healthy tear film is very important for many major functions of the ocular surface. Dry eye disease is a significant clinical problem that needs to be solved but the poor correlation between clinical signs and reported ... -
Technological strategies to estimate and control diffusive passage times through the mucus barrier in mucosal drug delivery
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)In mucosal drug delivery, two design goals are desirable: 1) insure drug passage through the mucosal barrier to the epithelium prior to drug removal from the respective organ via mucus clearance: and 2) design carrier ... -
