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 ... -
Hydrogel porosity controlling DNA-directed immobilization of gold nanoparticles revealed by DNA melting and scanning helium ion microscopy
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-04-07)Immobilization of nanomaterials is important for many applications, including sensor development, biomaterials design and catalysis. DNA-directed immobilization has been widely used because of its high specificity and ... -
Hydrogen peroxide production in a pilot-scale microbial electrolysis cell
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)A pilot-scale dual-chamber microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) equipped with a carbon gas-diffusion cathode was evaluated for H2O2 production using acetate medium as the electron donor. To assess the effect of cathodic pH ... -
Hydrologic function of a moderate-rich fen watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of the Western Boreal Plain, northern Alberta
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Peatlands are a dominant land feature in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) of the Western Boreal Plain (WBP), comprising >50% of the total land area, many of which are moderate-rich fens. The carbon stocks of moderate-rich ... -
Hydrophobic and Elastic Forces Experienced by a Series of Pyrene End-Labeled Poly(ethylene oxide)s Interacting with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Micelles
(American Chemical Society, 2018-07-30)A series of pyrene end-labeled poly(ethylene oxide)s (Py2-PEO(x) with x equal to 2, 3.4, 5, 6, 7.8, and 10 kg mol–1) were synthesized, and their interactions with SDS micelles were characterized by steady-state and ... -
