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 ... -
A phosphorus mass-balance model for the Lake St. Clair-Lake Erie system: How important is in-lake phosphorus loading?
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-14)Management of eutrophication in lakes usually focuses on reducing external phosphorus (P) loads. However, several in-lake mechanisms can add significant amounts of new and recycled P to the water column, hence, contributing ... -
Phosphorus retention and transformation in a dammed reservoir of the Thames River, Ontario: Impacts on phosphorus load and speciation
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Extensive efforts are underway to reduce phosphorus (P) export from the Lake Erie watershed. On the Canadian side, the Thames River is the largest tributary source of P to Lake Erie’s western basin. However, the role of ... -
Phosphorus retention in a bioretention cell: Insights from process-based modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-23)Bioretention cells (BRCs) have emerged as one of the Green Infrastructure and low impact development (LID) practices to reduce peak discharge and nutrient export in urban areas. Despite growing implementation globally, ... -
Phosphorus Retention in an Urban Stormwater Pond
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-07)Stormwater ponds are a critical piece of stormwater infrastructure which were originally developed to reduce local floods associated with the increased impervious surface area of urban environments. They are now increasingly ... -
Photocatalytic Degradation of Microcystins by TiO2 Using UV-LED Controlled Periodic Illumination
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-02-14)Toxic microcystins (MCs) produced by freshwater cyanobacteria such as Microcystis aeruginosa are of concern because of their negative health and economic impacts globally. An advanced oxidation process using UV/TiO2 offers ... -
Photocatalytic performances of ZnO nanoparticle film and vertically aligned nanorods in chamber-based microfluidic reactors: Reaction kinetics and flow effects
