A graphene-based microporous layer for proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Characterization and performance comparison
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)Water management is a critical issue for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, and the use of a microporous layer (MPL) substantially improves the PEM fuel cell performance, reliability and durability through improved ... -
The great WARC adventure: Using SIPS, AIPS, and DIPS to document SLAPPs
(Society for Digital Humanities, 2016-03)This paper outlines the circumstances surrounding a libel case that was filed against academic librarian Dale Askey by publisher Herbert Richardson and his company Edwin Mellen Press, the resulting online debate, protest, ... -
Green Veblen effect: Sustainability in pollution management
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2023-05-01)We know that green products may initially exhibit a Veblen effect–demand increasing with prices–often followed by a decrease in price. The global understanding of these joint phenomena still needs to be improved, impeding ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), 2016-04-08)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(Finnish Peatland Society, 2016-04)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Ground states of linear rotor chains via the density matrix renormalization group
(American Institute of Physics, 2018-04-04)In recent years, experimental techniques have enabled the creation of ultracold optical lattices of molecules and endofullerene peapod nanomolecular assemblies. It was previously suggested that the rotor model resulting ... -
Groundwater vulnerability in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada
(Springer, 2023-10-02)Groundwater is a valuable resource in northern Canada, which is used as a primary drinking water source for many residents and ensures the health of ecosystems. However, no groundwater vulnerability assessment methods have ... -
The group trend of lanthanides binding to DNA and DNAzymes with a complex but symmetric pattern
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-07-18)Using sensitized Tb3+ luminescence spectroscopy as a tool, binding of 14 lanthanides to a lanthanide-dependent DNAzyme is studied, where the binding affinity is symmetric across the series and the tightest binding occurs ... -
Group vs Individual: Impact of TOUCH and TILT Cross-Device Interactions on Mixed-Focus Collaboration
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-04-28)Cross-device environments (XDEs) have been devel-oped to support a multitude of collaborative activities. Yet, little is known about how different cross-device in-teraction techniques impact group collaboration; in-cluding ... -
H-colouring Pt-free graphs in subexponential time
(Elsevier, 2019-08-31)A graph is called Pt-free if it does not contain the path on t vertices as an induced subgraph. Let H be a multigraph with the property that any two distinct vertices share at most one common neighbour. We show that the ... -
Handoff and Deposit: Designing Temporal Coordination in Cross-Device Transfer Techniques for Mixed-Focus Collaboration
(ACM, 2022-09-01)When working together, people frequently share information with each other to enable division of labour, assistance, and delegation of responsibility. The literature has explored both synchronous and asynchronous transfer ... -
Hardware Implementation of a Fixed-Point Decoder for Low-Density Lattice Codes
(Springer, 2022-01-31)This paper describes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a fixed-point low-density lattice code (LDLC) decoder where the Gaussian mixture messages that are exchanged during the iterative decoding process ... -
Harnessing catalytic pumps for directional delivery of microparticles in microchambers
(Springer Nature, 2017-02-17)The directed transport of microparticles in microfluidic devices is vital for efficient bioassays and fabrication of complex microstructures. There remains, however, a need for methods to propel and steer microscopic cargo ... -
Harnessing opportunities for good governance of health impacts of mining projects in Mongolia: results of a global partnership
(Springer, 2017-06)The Sustainable Development Goals call for the effective governance of shared natural resources in ways that support inclusive growth, safeguard the integrity of the natural and physical environment, and promote health and ... -
Harnessing surface-bound enzymatic reactions to organize microcapsules in solution
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2016-03)By developing new computational models, we examine how enzymatic reactions on an underlying surface can be harnessed to direct the motion and organization of reagent-laden microcapsules in a fluid-filled microchannel. In ... -
