Researching Global Environmental Politics in the 21st Century
(MIT Press, 2016-02-01)This forum article highlights three major research trends we have observed in the journal Global Environmental Politics since 2000. First, research has increasingly focused on specific and formal mechanisms of global ... -
Residual finite dimensionality and representations of amenable operator algebras
(Elsevier, 2019-04-15)We consider a version of a famous open problem formulated by Kadison, asking whether bounded representations of operator algebras are automatically completely bounded. We investigate this question in the context of amenable ... -
Resilience in the tantalum supply chain
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)Tantalum, considered one of the critical elements by many countries, is a widely used metal in industries such as electronics, aerospace and automotive. The tantalum market has experienced several disruptions and subsequent ... -
Resilient Corner-Based Vehicle Velocity Estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-02-23)This paper presents longitudinal and lateral velocity estimators by considering the effect of the suspension compliance (SC) at each corner (tire) for ground vehicles. The estimators are developed to be resilient to sensor ... -
Resistive Switching Memory of TiO2 Nanowire Networks Grown on Ti Foil by a Single Hydrothermal Method
(Springer, 2017-04-01)The resistive switching characteristics of TiO2 nanowire networks directly grown on Ti foil by a single-step hydrothermal technique are discussed in this paper. The Ti foil serves as the supply of Ti atoms for growth of ... -
Resistor-Network Formulation of Multi-Temperature Free Convection Problems
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2017-01-11)In recent work, the resistor-network formulation of forced-convection problems and a technique (dQdT) for evaluating the paired convective resistances that characterize the network were presented. This technique entails ... -
Resistor-Network Formulation of Multitemperature Forced-Convection Problems
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2016-09-07)Many convection heat transfer problems involve more than two isothermal heat sources/sinks. A network of multiple convective resistors connecting temperature nodes representing the isothermal sources (walls, inlet flows, ... -
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 ...
