Reflective Peer Mentoring: Evolution of a Professional Development Program for Academic Librarians
(The Editorial Board of Partnership: The Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, 2014)For librarians engaged in teaching and learning, reflection has the potential to create opportunities to examine one’s instructional practice, identify and address challenges, and find new instructional pathways. It can ... -
Regenerable DNA-Functionalized Hydrogels for Ultrasensitive, Instrument-Free Mercury(II) Detection and Removal in Water
(American Chemical Society, 2010-09-15)Mercury is a highly toxic environmental pollutant with bioaccumulative properties. Therefore, new materials are required to not only detect but also effectively remove mercury from environmental sources such as water. We ... -
A regenerative NanoOctopus based on multivalent-aptamer functionalized magnetic microparticles for effective cell capture in whole blood
(American Chemical Society, 2019-01-16)Isolation of specific rare cell subtypes from whole blood is critical in cellular analysis and important in basic and clinical research. Traditional immuno-magnetic cell capture suffers from suboptimal sensitivity, ... -
Regional activation of anterior and posterior supraspinatus differs by plane of elevation, hand load and elevation angle
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The supraspinatus is one of the muscles of the rotator cuff, and growing research on fibre type composition and mechanical advantages in specific postures suggest this muscle may have distinct anterior and posterior regions. ... -
Regional activation of supraspinatus and infraspinatus sub-regions during dynamic tasks performed with free weights
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Growing evidence supports the existence of distinct anatomical sub-regions within supraspinatus and infraspinatus, but only recently has attention turned to exploring their potential functional differences. Using indwelling ... -
The Regional Extent of Suppression: Strabismics Versus Nonstrabismics
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2013-10)Purpose.: Evidence is accumulating that suppression may be the cause of amblyopia rather than a secondary consequence of mismatched retinal images. For example, treatment interventions that target suppression may lead to ... -
Regional Time Stepping for SPH
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)This paper presents novel and efficient strategies to spatially adapt the amount of computational effort applied based on the local dynamics of a free surface flow, for classic weakly compressible SPH (WCSPH). Using a ... -
Regression with incomplete covariates and left-truncated time-to-event data
(Wiley, 2013)Studies of chronic diseases routinely sample individuals subject to conditions on an event time of interest. In epidemiology, for example, prevalent cohort studies aiming to evaluate risk factors for survival following ... -
Regression with incomplete multivariate surrogate responses for a latent covariate
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-07-29)We consider the setting in which a categorical exposure variable of interest can only be measured subject to misclassification via surrogate variables. These surrogate variables may represent the classification of an ... -
Regression-based Monte Carlo Integration
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-07)Monte Carlo integration is typically interpreted as an estimator of the expected value using stochastic samples. There exists an alternative interpretation in calculus where Monte Carlo integration can be seen as estimating ... -
Reimagining health services and policy research: Embedding environmental sustainability into our research priorities and practice
(Elsevier, 2021-05)The health impacts of the climate crisis demand that health systems adapt their practices and mitigate their carbon emissions. Health services and policy research (HSPR) is crucial for the transformation of these systems. ... -
The Reinforcement Learning Kelly Strategy
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-03)The full Kelly portfolio strategy's deficiency in the face of estimation errors in practice can be mitigated by fractional or shrinkage Kelly strategies. This paper provides an alternative, the RL Kelly strategy, based on ... -
The relationship between children's executive functioning, theory of mind, and verbal skills with their own and others' behaviour in a cooperative context: Changes in relations from early to middle school-age
(Wiley, 2017-02-28)Learning to behave in socially competent ways is an essential component of children's development. This study examined the relations between children's social, communicative, and cognitive skills and their behaviours during ... -
Relationship between Corneal Sensation, Blinking, and Tear Film Quality
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016-05-01)Purpose: To examine the possible role of corneal sensitivity and tear film quality in triggering a blink by investigating the relationship between blink rate, central corneal sensitivity threshold (CST), ocular surface ... -
The Relationship between Tear Meniscus Regularity and Conjunctival Folds
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014-09-01)Purpose: To investigate the capability of a new portable digital meniscometer (PDM) to measure tear meniscus radius (TMR) and tear meniscus height (TMH) at different locations along the lower lid and to evaluate relationships ... -
Relationship between vessel diameter and depth measurements within the limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)Purpose To establish a relationship between the diameter and depth position of vessels in the superior and inferior corneo-scleral limbus using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT). Methods Volumetric ... -
Relationships between depth and δ15N of Arctic benthos vary among regions and trophic functional groups
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N) of benthic primary consumers are often significantly related to water depth. This relationship is commonly attributed to preferential uptake of 14N from sinking particulate organic ... -
A relative-rank measure for the rank transformation
(Elsevier, 2024-01)This research introduces a new ranking scheme capable of ordering competing units in a more continual manner. The classic ranks are functionalized by incorporating data range and quantile coverage simultaneously in the ... -
Release of Ciprofloxacin and Moxifloxacin From Daily Disposable Contact Lenses From an In Vitro Eye Model
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2015-10-04)Purpose.: To analyze the release of two fluoroquinolones, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin, from conventional hydrogel (CH) and silicone hydrogel (SH) daily disposable contact lenses (CLs), comparing release from a fixed-volume ... -
Release of Ciprofloxacin-HCl and Dexamethasone Phosphate by Hyaluronic Acid Containing Silicone Polymers
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2012-04-19)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the covalent incorporation of hyaluronic acid (HA) into conventional hydrogel and hydrogels containing silicone as models for contact lens materials on the uptake ...
