Body size normalization of ultrasound measured anterior upper leg muscle thickness in younger and older males and females
(Nature Publishing Group, 2022-01)BACKGROUND: Ultrasound measurements of the anterior upper leg muscle thickness are often used to quantify muscle mass; however, the ideal normalization approach is unclear. Our primary objective was to examine how the ... -
Bone collagen network integrity and transverse fracture toughness of human cortical bone
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)Greater understanding of the determinants of skeletal fragility is highly sought due to the great burden that bone affecting diseases and fractures have on economies, societies and health care systems. Being a complex, ... -
Boomeranging home: understanding why millennials live with parents in Toronto, Canada
(Routledge, 2018)This article examines young adults’ experiences of living at home with their parents in the Greater Toronto Area. Although media frequently references co-residence as part of the trope of struggling/lazy millennial adulthood, ... -
Boosting the oxidase mimicking activity of nanoceria by fluoride capping: rivaling protein enzymes and ultrasensitive F- detection
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-07-28)Nanomaterial-based enzyme mimics (nanozymes) are currently a new forefront of chemical research. However, the application of nanozymes is limited by their low catalytic activity and low turnover numbers. Cerium dioxide ... -
Both fearful and happy expressions interact with gaze direction by 200 ms SOA to speed attention orienting
(Taylor and Francis, 2018-01-16)Attention orienting towards a gazed-at location is fundamental to social attention. Whether gaze cues can interact with emotional expressions other than those signalling environmental threat to modulate this gaze cueing, ... -
Both Sides Now: Growth Through Shared Learning in Mentoring Relationships
(Ontario Library Association, 2023-02-02)There is a broad recognition of the importance and value of mentoring to the library profession, especially for early career professionals (Freedman, 2009; Irwin, 2021). In Canada many new LIS graduates often work in ... -
Bounded Rationality Alters The Dynamics Of Paediatric Immunization Acceptance
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-06-02)Interactions between disease dynamics and vaccinating behavior have been explored in many coupled behavior-disease models. Cognitive effects such as risk perception, framing, and subjective probabilities of adverse events ... -
Bounds on 10th moments of (x, x^3) for ellipsephic sets
(University of Waterloo, 2023)Let A be an ellipsephic set which satis es digital restrictions in a given base. Using the method developed by Hughes and Wooley, we bound the number of integer solutions to the system of equations X2 i=1 x3i ... -
Brain Response of a Computational Head Model for Prescribed Skull Kinematics and Simulated 3 Football Helmet Impact Boundary Conditions
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2021-03)Computational human body models (HBM) present a novel approach to predict brain response 3 in football impact scenarios, with prescribed kinematic boundary conditions for the HBM skull 4 typically used at present. However, ... -
Brain-State Dependent Stimulation boosts functional recovery following stroke
(Wiley, 2018-11-08)Objective Adjuvant protocols devised to enhance motor recovery in subacute stroke patients have failed to show benefits with respect to classic therapeutic interventions. Here we evaluate the efficacy of a novel brain-state ... -
Branching and size of CTAB-coated gold nanostars control the colorimetric detection of bacteria
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is challenging because conventional methods require long incubation times. Nanoparticles have the potential to detect pathogens before they can cause an infection. Gold nanostars have ... -
Breaking Down Barriers: Examining the Accessibility of Global Water Futures Research
(University of Waterloo, 2023)The Global Water Futures program (GWF) was granted $77.8 million by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund to conduct research on the forecasting and management of water futures in Canada as part of an effort to combat ... -
Breaking Free from Cobalt Reliance in Lithium-Ion Batteries
(Elsevier, 2020-09)The exponential growth in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates increasing supplies of low-cost and high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Naturally, the ramp-up in LIB production raises concerns over raw ... -
Bright and efficient blue polymer light emitting diodes with reduced operating voltages processed entirely at low-temperature
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-09-03)Hybrid blue polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with high efficiencies, luminance >20 000 cd m−2 and low operating voltages are obtained using processing temperatures ≤150 °C. By briefly applying an electric field across ... -
Broadband Chemical Species Tomography: Measurement Theory and a Proof-of-Concept Emission Detection Experiment
(Elsevier, 2017-09)This work introduces broadband-absorption based chemical species tomography (CST) as a novel approach to reconstruct hydrocarbon concentrations from open-path attenuation measurements. In contrast to monochromatic CST, ... -
“‘Brosser l’histoire à rebrousse-poil’: l’affaire Dubuisson revisitée
(Érudit, 2021-06-17)L’affaire Dubuisson concerne le procès criminel de Pauline Dubuisson qui a abattu son ancien amant. La mémoire de l’Occupation a joué un rôle déterminant dans ce procès en 1953. Alors que les récits de l’époque vilipendent ... -
BSDE Approach to Utility Maximization with Square-Root Factor Processes
(Elsevier, 2020-03)We consider the utility-based portfolio selection problem in a continuous-time setting. We assume the market price of risk depends on a stochastic factor that satisfies an affine-form, square-root, Markovian model. This ... -
BSML-mbeddr: Integrating Semantically Congurable State-Machine Models in a C Programming Environment
(ACM, 2016-11)In model-driven engineering, developers express their solutions in domain-specific modelling languages (DSLs) that support domain-specific abstractions. Big-Step Modelling Languages (BSML) is a family of extended state-machine ... -
Budget-constrained optimal insurance without the nonnegativity constraint on indemnities
(Elsevier, 2019-01)In a problem of Pareto-efficient insurance contracting (bilateral risk sharing) with expected-utility preferences, Gollier (1987) relaxes the nonnegativity constraint on indemnities and argues that the existence of a ... -
