Resolution Dependence and Subfilter-Scale Motions in Idealized Squall-Line Simulations
(AMS, 2020-07-08)In this paper, the sensitivity of idealized squall-line simulations to horizontal resolution, subgrid turbulence mixing scheme, and subfilter-scale motion is discussed. Inconsistent results from numerical simulations ... -
Response of peatland carbon dioxide and methane fluxes to a watertable drawdown experiment
(American Geophysical Union, Wiley, 2007-02-07)Northern peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle representing a significant stock of soil carbon and a substantial natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Peatland carbon cycling is affected by ... -
Response of vegetation and net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange at different peatland microforms following water table drawdown
(American Geophysical Union, Wiley, 2006-05-17)Northern peatlands are significant stocks of terrestrial soil carbon, and it has been predicted that warmer temperatures and lower water tables resulting from climate change will convert these ecosystems into sources for ... -
Response-dependent two-phase sampling designs for biomarker studies
(Wiley, 2014)Two-phase sampling designs are developed and investigated for use in the context of a rheumatology study where interest lies in the association between a biomarker with an expensive assay and disease progression. We ... -
Responses of carbon dioxide flux and plant biomass to water table drawdown in a treed peatland in northern Alberta: a climate change perspective
(European Geosciences Union, 2014-02-11)Northern peatland ecosystems represent large carbon (C) stocks that are susceptible to changes such as accelerated mineralization due to water table lowering expected under a climate change scenario. During the growing ... -
Responsibility to the rescue? Governing private financial investment in global agriculture
(Springer, 2017-03)This paper examines the recent rise of initiatives for responsible agricultural investment and provides a preliminary assessment of their likely success in curbing the ecological and social costs associated with the growth ... -
Reversible gating of ion transport through DNA-functionalized carbon nanotube membranes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-01-03)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used to create unique fluidic systems for studying ion transport in nanochannels due to their well-defined geometry, atomically smooth and chemically inert surface, and similarity to transmembrane ... -
Review of geometries and coating materials in solid phase microextraction: Opportunities, limitations, and future perspectives
(Elsevier, 2017-09-01)The development of new support and geometries of solid phase microextraction (SPME), including metal fiber assemblies, coated-tip, and thin film microextraction (TFME) (i.e. self-supported, fabric and blade supported), as ... -
A Review of physics-based and data-driven models for real-time control of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The real-time model-based control of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells requires a computationally efficient and sufficiently accurate model to predict the transient and long-term performance under various ... -
A Review of the Fatigue Limit for Steel Bridges under Ontario Highway Traffic Loading
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-12)In many design codes for roadway bridges, it is required that a design truck be passed over influence lines for stress at various locations on the bridge to obtain nominal stress ranges for design. For the fatigue design ... -
Review: Julian Go, ‘Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory’
(Theory, Culture & Society, 2021-04-22)In Julian Go’s pathbreaking text, Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory, he seeks to bridge the seemingly unreconcilable gap between social theory and postcolonial thought. Go begins by arguing that that social theory ... -
Revising Ecological Assumptions About Human Papillomavirus Interactions And Type Replacement
(Elsevier, 2014-06-07)The controversy over whether vaccine-targeted HPV types will be replaced by other oncogenic, non-vaccine-targeted types remains unresolved. This is in part because little is known about the ecology of HPV types. Patient ... -
Revisiting Password Rules: Facilitating Human Management of Passwords
(IEEE, 2016-06)Password rules were established in the context of past security concerns. Recent work in computer security challenges the conventional wisdom of expert password advice, such as change your passwords often, do not reuse ... -
Revolutionize your Undergraduate Instruction with Top Hat!
(2017-05)Presenters discuss Top hat educational application for use in undergraduate classroom instruction. Provides overview of Top Hat, discusses pilot program for School of Pharmacy 1st year courses, and compares the strengths ... -
Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients ... -
A ring-polymer model shows how macromolecular crowding controls chromosome-arm organization in Escherichia coli
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-09-19)Macromolecular crowding influences various cellular processes such as macromolecular association and transcription, and is a key determinant of chromosome organization in bacteria. The entropy of crowders favors compaction ... -
Risk associated with H2S evolution in sour aquifers during CO2 injection
(Elsevier, 2011)Many aquifers suitable for CO2 sequestration contain measurable concentration of dissolved non-hydrocarbon species. In this paper, the compositional modelling of the CO2 injection into aquifers that contain dissolved ... -
The risk of fragility fractures in new users of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors compared to sulfonylureas and other anti-diabetic drugs: A cohort study
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)Aims Mixed evidence exists for the effect of incretin-based therapies on osteoporosis in type-2 diabetes. Therefore, we conducted a cohort study to determine the association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors ... -
