Integrating Equity and Reconciliation Work into Archival Descriptive Practice at the University of Waterloo
(Archivaria, 2021-06)Despite sustained calls for a critical review of harmful content within archival descriptive records, there remains much to be explored by way of implications for Canadian academic archives. This article addresses the ... -
Intelligent Monte Carlo: A new paradigm for inverse polymerization engineering
(Wiley, 2018-05)Traditional computational methods simulate the microstructure of polymer chains from input reaction conditions, but a need exists for predicting optimum reaction conditions in a computationally-demanding multi-variable ... -
Intentional tanning among adolescents in seven Canadian provinces: Provincial comparisons (CRAYS 2015)
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)This report explores intentional tanning behaviors among Canadian high school students in light of provincial restrictions on UV tanning device use among youth. Data are from the Cancer Risk Assessment in Youth Survey ... -
Inter-laboratory validation of a thin film microextraction technique for determination of pesticides in surface water samples
(Elsevier, 2017-04-29)The primary goal of the present study is the inter-laboratory evaluation of a thin film microextraction (TFME) technique to be used as an alternative approach to liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). Polydimethylsiloxane/ ... -
Interactive effects of vegetation and water table depth on belowground C and N mobilization and greenhouse gas emissions in a restored peatland
(Springer, 2020-01-27)Aims This study assesses the relative effects of hydrology and colonization by vascular plants on belowground C and N mobilization, and emission of CO2 and CH4 in an extracted bog under restoration in Alberta (Canada). ... -
Interconnections accelerate collapse in a socio-ecological metapopulation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Resource over-exploitation can have profound effects on both ecosystems and the human populations residing in them. Models of population growth based on a depletable resources have been studied previously, but relatively ... -
Interfacial bonding mechanism in Al/coated steel dissimilar refill friction stir spot welds
(Elsevier, 2019-06-01)Defect-free dissimilar Al/zinc coated steel and Al/AlSi coated steel welds were successfully fabricated by refill friction stir spot welding. However, Al alloy and uncoated steel could not be welded under the same weldin ... -
Interfacial bonding mechanisms between aluminum and titanium during cold gas spraying followed by friction-stir modification
(Elsevier, 2018-12-31)This paper closely evaluates the interfacial bonding mechanism between titanium particles deposited on an aluminum alloy substrate by cold gas spraying followed by friction-stir processing (FSP). After cold spraying and ... -
Interfacing Zwitterionic Liposomes with Inorganic Nanomaterials: Surface Forces, Membrane Integrity, and Applications
(American Chemical Society, 2016-05-10)Zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) lipids are the main constituent of the mammalian cell membrane. PC bilayers are known for their antifouling properties, yet they are adsorbed by all tested inorganic nanoparticles. This ... -
Internet of Drones
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): OAJ, 2016-03-02)The Internet of Drones (IoD) is a layered network control architecture designed mainly for coordinating the access of unmanned aerial vehicles to controlled airspace, and providing navigation services between locations ... -
Interrelationships among depression, anxiety, flourishing, and cannabis use in youth
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Aims The objective of the study was to examine if depression or anxiety was associated with youth cannabis use; and investigate whether flourishing moderates these associations. Methods Students (N = 8179) were recruited ... -
Intracellular Detection of ATP Using an Aptamer Beacon Covalently Linked to Graphene Oxide Resisting Nonspecific Probe Displacement
(American Chemical Society, 2014-12-16)Fluorescent aptamer probes physisorbed on graphene oxide (GO) have recently emerged as a useful sensing platform. A signal is generated by analyte-induced probe desorption. To address nonspecific probe displacement and the ... -
