Perceived timing of active head movement at different speeds
(Elsevier, 2018-11-20)The central nervous system must determine which sensory events occur at the same time. Actively moving the head corresponds with large changes in the relationship between the observer and the environment, sensorimotor ... -
The percentage of DHA in erythrocytes can detect non-adherence to advice to increase EPA and DHA intakes
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-01-28)Characterisation of long-term adherence to EPA and DHA intakes through biomarkers and dietary assessments has implications for interpreting the findings of long-term intervention studies. Adherence to dietary advice targeting ... -
Performance Limit Projection of Germanane Field-Effect Transistors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-03-13)Here we explore the performance limit of monolayer germanane (GeH) field-effect transistors (FETs). We first plotted an electronic band structure of GeH using density functional theory (DFT) and then tight-binding parameters ... -
Performance of Brain-Computer Interfacing Based on Tactile Selective Sensation and Motor Imagery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-11-03)A large proportion of users do not achieve adequate control using current non-invasive Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI). This issue has being coined “BCI-Illiteracy”, and is observed among BCI modalities. Here, we compare ... -
Performance of polyacrylamide and poly(acrylamide/sodium acrylate) hydrogel-coated mesh for separation of oil/water mixtures
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Hydrogels are widely used as a coagulant in water treatment in addition to using in tissue engineering due to their high water absorption capacity and biocompatibility. Our research objective is to synthesize a reinforced ... -
Periodic Adaptive Stabilization of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems
(Springer, 2019-06-19)Adaptive control deals with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time variation is slow, with results for systems with fast time variations limited ... -
Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography: Review of Evidence and Recommendations for Image Acquisition, Analysis, and Reporting, Among Individuals With Neurological Impairment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)In 2015, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) position statement regarding peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) did not recommend routine use of pQCT, in clinical settings until consistency ... -
Personalization in Serious and Persuasive Games and Gamified Interactions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-10)Serious and persuasive games and gamified interactions have become popular in the last years, especially in the realm of behavior change support systems. They have been used as tools to support and influence human behavior ... -
Personalizing Persuasive Strategies in Gameful Systems to Gamification User Types
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-04-21)Persuasive gameful systems are effective tools for motivating behaviour change. Research has shown that tailoring these systems to individuals can increase their efficacy; however, there is little knowledge on how to ... -
Perspective: Maintaining surface-phase purity is key to efficient open air fabricated cuprous oxide solar cells
(AIP Publishing, 2015-02-01)Electrochemically deposited Cu2O solar cells are receiving growing attention owing to a recent doubling in efficiency. This was enabled by the controlled chemical environment used in depositing doped ZnO layers by atomic ... -
Perspectives on software-defined networks: interviews with five leading scientists from the networking community
(SpringerOpen, 2015-10-30)Software defined Networks (SDNs) have drawn much attention both from academia and industry over the last few years. Despite the fact that underlying ideas already exist through areas such as P2P applications and active ... -
Petroleomic analysis of the treatment of naphthenic organics in oil sands process-affected water with buoyant photocatalysts
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)The persistence of toxicity associated with the soluble naphthenic organic compounds (NOCs) of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) implies that a treatment solution may be necessary to enable safe return of this water ... -
pH-Responsive Poly(Ethylene Glycol)- block -Polylactide Micelles for Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08-16)A biodegradable micellar drug delivery system with a pH-responsive sheddable PEG shell was developed using an acetal-linked poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polylactide (PEG-a-PLA) copolymer and applied to the tumoral release ... -
Pharmacy patron perspectives of community pharmacist administered influenza vaccinations
(Elsevier, 2019-02)One approach to boost influenza vaccination coverage has been to expand immunization authority. In 2012, the province of Ontario gave community pharmacists the authority to administer the influenza vaccine. -
A Phase Model with Large Time Delayed Coupling
(Elsevier, 2020-10)We consider two identical oscillators with weak, time delayed coupling. We start with a general system of delay differential equations then reduce it to a phase model. With the assumption of large time delay, the resulting ... -
Phase models and clustering in networks of oscillators with delayed coupling
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)We consider a general model for a network of oscillators with time delayed coupling where the coupling matrix is circulant. We use the theory of weakly coupled oscillators to reduce the system of delay differential equations ... -
Phase Relations, Reaction Sequences and Petrochronology
(Mineralogical Society of America, 2017-02-01)Phase equilibria modelling has played a key role in enhancing our understanding of metamorphic processes. An important breakthrough in the last three decades has been the ability to construct phase diagrams by integrating ... -
Phase-Locked Loop Stability Based on Stochastic Bounds
(Springer, 2015-08-11)In this paper we study the stability of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in the presence of noise. We represent the noise as Brownian motion and model the circuit as a nonlinear stochastic differential equation, with the noise ... -
The Philosophy of Behavioral Biology
(Springer, 2012)This volume offers a broad overview of central issues in the philosophy of behavioral biology, addressing philosophical issues that arise from the most recent scientific findings in biological research on behavior. It thus ... -
Phosphate toxicity and tumorigenesis
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)In this article, we briefly summarized evidence that cellular phosphate burden from phosphate toxicity is a pathophysiological determinant of cancer cell growth. Tumor cells express more phosphate cotransporters and store ...
