Indoor-Side Convection Coefficients for Complex Fenestration Systems with Roller Blinds
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2017-01)In order to characterize the resistor network that describes convective heat transfer on the indoor side of a complex fenestration system, three convection coefficients are needed. Although methods to obtain convection ... -
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions II. Toward walls and their line graphs in graphs of bounded degree.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions III. Three-Path-Configurations and Logarithmic Treewidth.
(Advances in Combinatorics, 2022-09-09)A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family H of graphs, we say a graph G is H-free if no induced subgraph of G is ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions IV. (Even Hole, Diamond, Pyramid)-Free Graphs
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2023-06-16)A hole in a graph G is an induced cycle of length at least four, and an even hole is a hole of even length. The diamond is the graph obtained from the complete graph K4 by removing an edge. A pyramid is a graph consisting ... -
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions VII. Basic obstructions in H-free graphs.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)We say a class C of graphs is clean if for every positive integer t there exists a positive integer w(t) such that every graph in C with treewidth more than w(t) contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to one of the ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions VIII: Excluding a Forest in (Theta, Prism)-Free Graphs
(Springer, 2024-04-08)Given a graph H, we prove that every (theta, prism)-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains either a large clique or an induced subgraph isomorphic to H, if and only if H is a forest. -
Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. VIII. Long odd holes
(Elsevier, 2020-01)We prove a conjecture of András Gyárfás, that for all k, l, every graph with clique number at most κ and sufficiently large chromatic number has an odd hole of length at least ℓ. -

Inflating and deflating the self: Sustaining motivational concerns through self-evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-03-01)The ways in which individuals think and feel about themselves play a significant role in guiding behavior across many domains in life. The current studies investigate how individuals may shift the positivity of self-evaluations ... -
Influence of Conjunctival Folds on Calculated Tear Meniscus Volume Along the Lower Eyelid
(Elsevier, 2016-05-03)Purpose: In calculating tear meniscus volume (TMV), tear meniscus height (TMH), radius (TMR) and cross-sectional area (TMA) are usually measured at the center of the lower lid margin, but lid-parallel conjunctival folds ... -
Influence of drilling and abrasive water jet induced damage on the performance of carbon fabric/epoxy plates with holes
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)The influence of conventional drilling (CD) and abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting on the fatigue performance of carbon fabric/epoxy plates was investigated. Observations of machined hole regions revealed more severe damage ... -
Influence of dual-tasking with different levels of attention diversion on characteristics of the movement-related cortical potential
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)Dual tasking is defined as performing two tasks concurrently and has been shown to have a significant effect on attention directed to the performance of the main task. In this study, an attention diversion task with two ... -
Influence of dynamic river stage on the vulnerability of water wells and structure foundations in cold regions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Groundwater is important for people in Northern Canada, yet the groundwater protection protocols and water well vulnerability assessments designed for other warmer regions of Canada may not be applicable to communities in ... -
Influence of front-of-package nutrition labels on beverage healthiness perceptions: Results from a randomized experiment
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)The current study explored the influence of three summary indicator front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labels on consumer perceptions of the healthiness of different beverage products. In 2016, a total of 675 respondents in ... -
The influence of increased passive stiffness of the trunk and hips on balance control during reactive stepping
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Background Age-related changes, which include increased trunk and hip stiffness, negatively influence postural balance. While previous studies suggest no net-effect of trunk and hip stiffness on initial trip-recovery ... -
The Influence of Mitigation on Sage-Grouse Habitat Selection within an Energy Development Field
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Growing global energy demands ensure the continued growth of energy development. Energy development in wildlife areas can significantly impact wildlife populations. Efforts to mitigate development impacts to wildlife are ... -
Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, ... -
The influence of peat volume change and vegetation on the hydrology of a kettle-hole wetland in Southern Ontario, Canada
(International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2007-12)Links between local hydrology and vegetation type exist in wetlands, yet it is unclear what role peat volume change plays in these interactions. We measured peat volume change and hydraulic conductivity (Kfield) at three ... -
The influence of social behaviour on competition between virulent pathogen strains
(Elsevier, 2018-10-14)Infectious disease interventions like contact precautions and vaccination have proven effective in disease control and elimination. The priority given to interventions can depend strongly on how virulent the pathogen is, ... -
The Influence Of Social Norms On The Dynamics Of Vaccinating Behaviour For Paediatric Infectious Diseases
(Royal Society, The, 2014-04-07)Mathematical models that couple disease dynamics and vaccinating behaviour often assume that the incentive to vaccinate disappears if disease prevalence is zero. Hence, they predict that vaccine refusal should be the rule, ...
