How do close others to those with anxiety feel about treatment? Development and validation of the Treatment Concerns Questionnaire - Close Others
(Springer, 2022-07-19)Background. The close others (e.g., family members, romantic partners) of people with anxiety and related disorders are typically involved in their treatment decisions. However, we know little about close others’ attitudes ... -
How Does Moss Resist Evaporation? Towards Elucidating Site-Specific Influences on Sphagnum Moss Resistance
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-16)While multiple approaches to exist to quantify plant resistance to evaporation, these methods assume that the vegetation is vascular despite many ecosystems, such as peatlands, dominated by a surface cover of mosses. Mosses ... -
How Hot Are Your Ions in Differential Mobility Spectrometry?
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01)Ions can experience significant field-induced heating in a differential mobility cell. To investigate this phenomenon, the fragmentation of several para-substituted benzylpyridinium “thermometer” ions (R = OMe, Me, F, Cl, ... -
How I wasted too long finding a concentration inequality for sums of geometric variables
(2011)I wanted a concentration inequality for sums of iid geometric random variables. This took way too long. -
How Locomotion Concerns Influence Perceptual Judgments
(Guilford Press, 2017-06-01)Successful self-regulation involves both assessment (e.g., making the right choices) and locomotion (e.g., managing change and movement). Regulatory mode theory is a motivational framework that highlights the ways in which ... -
How many crowdsourced workers should a requester hire?
(Springer, 2016-01)Recent years have seen an increased interest in crowdsourcing as a way of obtaining information from a potentially large group of workers at a reduced cost. The crowdsourcing process, as we consider in this paper, is as ... -
How to turn that frown upside down: Children make use of a listener’s facial cues to detect and (attempt to) repair miscommunication
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Communication involves the integration of verbal and nonverbal cues. This study assessed preschool-age children’s ability to use their conversational partner’s facial expression to determine whether the partner required ... -
How to Use Creative and Embodied Methods
(SAGE Publications, 2022-07-12)This guide provides an overview of when, how, and why researchers can and should (re)engage with their bodily senses, affects, feelings, and motivations for the purposes of digital social science methodological inquiry. ... -
How Two Librarians Became Co-instructors For a First Year Course
(2015-01-30)In Spring 2014, two librarians co-instructed an undergraduate Pharmacy course at the University of Waterloo. Providing students with the skills to access medical/drug information, this course gave students the skills to ... -
How ‘transformative’ is energy storage? Insights from stakeholder perceptions in Ontario
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)‘Energy storage’ comprises a range of technologies of varying maturity and cost-effectiveness, which are increasingly considered to be an important part in building the electricity system of the future. As with any potentially ... -
Human dimensions of ecosystem-based management: Lessons in managing trade-offs from the Northern Shrimp Fishery in Northern Peninsula, Newfoundland
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Fisheries can have significant impacts on the structure and function of marine ecosystems, including impacts on habitats and non-target species. As a result, management agencies face growing calls to account for the ecosystem ... -
Human Rett-derived neuronal progenitor cells in 3D graphene scaffold as an in vitro platform to study the effect of electrical stimulation on neuronal differentiation
(Institute of Physics, 2018-03-21)Studies of electrical stimulation therapies for the treatment of neurological disorders, such as deep brain stimulation, have almost exclusively been performed using animal-models. However, because animal-models can only ... -
Humidification strategy for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells – A review
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are promising power sources because of their advantage such as high efficiency, zero emission and low operating temperature. Water management is one of the critical issues for polymer ... -
The Hyalella (Crustacea: Amphipoda) species cloud of the ancient Lake Titicaca originated from multiple colonizations
(Elsevier, 2018-08)Ancient lakes are renowned for their exceptional diversity of endemic species. As model systems for the study of sympatric speciation, it is necessary to understand whether a given hypothesized species flock is of monophyletic ... -
A hybrid Bayesian network model for predicting delays in train operations
(Elsevier, 2019-01)We present a Bayesian network-(BN) based train delay prediction model to tackle the complexity and dependency nature of train operations. Three different BN schemes, namely, heuristic hill-climbing, primitive linear and ... -
A hybrid correlative-mechanistic approach for modeling and mapping winter distributions of western bat species
(Wiley, 2021-10)Aim: The fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans and resultant white-nose syndrome (WNS) continues to advance into western North America, infecting new bat populations, species, and hibernacula. Western North America ... -
Hybrid lithium-ion battery and hydrogen energy storage systems for a wind-supplied microgrid
(Elsevier, 2023-09-01)Microgrids with high shares of variable renewable energy resources, such as wind, experience intermittent and variable electricity generation that causes supply-demand mismatches over multiple timescales. Lithium-ion ... -
Hybrid Virtual Holonomic Constraints for a 2-D.O.F. Bipedal Robot
(IEEE, 2015-06-25)We apply virtual holonomic constraints (VHCs) to a fully actuated Euler-Lagrange system with impacts : a bipedal walking robot consisting of a stance leg, swing leg and hip mass. We call these hybrid virtual holonomic ... -
Hydrodynamic shrinkage of liquid CO2 Taylor drops in a straight microchannel
(IOP Publishing, 2018-02-12)Hydrodynamic shrinkage of liquid CO2 drops in water under a Taylor flow regime is studied using a straight microchannel (length/width similar to 100). A general form of a mathematical model of the solvent-side mass transfer ... -
