Solid Phase Microextraction On-Fiber Derivatization Using a Stable, Portable, and Reusable Pentafluorophenyl Hydrazine Standard Gas Generating Vial
(American Chemical Society, 2017-07-05)Solid phase microextraction (SPME) on-fiber derivatization methods have facilitated the achievement of lower detection limits and targeted analysis of various substances that exhibit poor chromatographic behavior, thermal ... -
Solution Structure of Calmodulin Bound to the Target Peptide of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Phosphorylated at Thr495
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-04)Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) plays a major role in a number of key physiological and pathological processes, and it is important to understand how this enzyme is regulated. The small acidic calcium binding protein, calmodulin ... -
Solvent presence and its impact on the lap-shear strength of SDS-decorated graphene hybrid electrically conductive adhesives
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)The mechanical bonding strength of electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs), as well as the impact of residual solvent on the bonding strength was investigated between a copper clad FR-4 surface and conductive adhesives ... -
Spanwise flow development within a laminar separation bubble under natural and forced transition
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)The variation of streamwise and spanwise characteristic wavelengths of a NACA 0018 laminar separation bubble under natural and periodic excitation conditions is investigated experimentally. Periodic forcing is applied with ... -
SPARC! Preparing First-Year Students for Information Overload
(2008-05-02)Presentation slides as presented at the Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association (NLLA) Conference, 2008. Outlines the SPARC (Summer Program in Academic Research & Communication) offered by Memorial University Libraries. ... -
Spatial Analysis of Single Allocation Hub Location Problems
(Springer, 2016-12-01)Hubs are special facilities that serve as switching, transshipment and sorting nodes in many-to-many distribution systems. Flow is consolidated at hubs to exploit economies of scale and to reduce transportation costs between ... -
Spatial correlation as an early warning signal of regime shifts in a multiplex disease-behaviour network
(Elsevier, 2018-07-07)Early warning signals of sudden regime shifts are a widely studied phenomenon for their ability to quantify a system’s proximity to a tipping point to a new and contrasting dynamical regime. However, this effect has been ... -
Spatial Dependence Modeling of Wind Resource under Uncertainty Using C-Vine Copulas and Its Impact on Solar-Wind Energy Co-Generation
(Preprints, 2017-09-14)Investments in wind and solar power are driven by the aim to maximize the utilization of renewable energy (RE). This results in an increased concentration of wind farms at locations with higher average wind speeds and of ... -
Spatial Information Enhances Myoelectric Control Performance with Only Two Channels
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-09-10)Automatic gesture recognition (AGR) is investigated as an effortless human-machine interaction method, potentially applied in many industrial sectors. When using surface electromyogram (sEMG) for AGR, i.e. myoelectric ... -
A spatial version of Wedderburn’s Principal Theorem
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)In this article we verify that ‘Wedderburn’s Principal Theorem’ has a particularly pleasant spatial implementation in the case of cleft subalgebras of the algebra of all linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector ... -
Spatially localized cluster solutions in inhibitory neural networks
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Neurons in the inhibitory network of the striatum display cell assembly firing patterns which recent results suggest may consist of spatially compact neural clusters. Previous computational modeling of striatal neural ... -
Spatially-Implicit Modelling Of Disease-Behaviour Interactions In The Context Of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2018-04-01)Pair approximation models have been used to study the spread of infectious diseases in spatially distributed host populations, and to explore disease control strategies such as vaccination and case isolation. Here we ... -
Speciation dynamics of oxyanion contaminants (As, Sb, Cr) in argillaceous suspensions during oxic-anoxic cycles
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Argillaceous geological formations are considered promising repositories for waste containing inorganic contaminants. However, the sequestration capacity of an argillaceous natural barrier may change as a result of dynamic ... -
Species sensitivity of early face and eye processing
(Elsevier, 2011-02-25)Humans are better at recognizing human faces than faces of other species. However, it is unclear whether this species sensitivity can be seen at early perceptual stages of face processing and whether it involves species ... -
Spectral energy balance in dry convective boundary layers
(Taylor and Francis, 2015-04)Three-dimensional large-eddy simulations (LES) of the convective boundary layer over a domain of approximately 6 km are performed with the UCLA LES model. Simulations are forced with a constant surface heat flux and ... -
Spectral properties of tensor products of channels
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)We investigate spectral properties of the tensor products of two completely positive and trace preserving linear maps (also known as quantum channels) acting on matrix algebras. This leads to an important question of when ... -
