Calibrant Free Sampling and Enrichment with Solid-Phase Microextraction: Computational Simulation and Experimental Verification
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-05)Despite the benefits of diffusion-based calibrant-free sampling based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME), this quantification approach is often underestimated due to an inadequate understanding of how extraction parameters ... -
Calibration of a Lattice Model for High-Molecular-Weight Block Copolymer Melts
(AIP, 2019-05-06)The Morse calibration is applied to a lattice model designed for efficient simulations of two-component polymer melts of high molecular weight. The model allows multiple occupancy per site, which results in high invariant ... -
Calibration of the Flory-Huggins Interaction Parameter in Field-Theoretic Simulations
(2019)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) offer a versatile method of dealing with complicated block copolymer systems, but unfortunately they struggle to cope with the level of fluctuations typical of experiments. Although the ... -
Calmodulin regulates Cav3 T-type channels at their gating brake
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017-12-08)Calcium (Cav1 and Cav2) and sodium channels possess homologous CaM-binding motifs, known as IQ motifs in their C termini, which associate with calmodulin (CaM), a universal calcium sensor. Cav3 T-type channels, which serve ... -
Camera-based Mirror Visual Feedback: Potential to Improve Motor Preparation in Stroke Patients
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-08-13)Mirror visual feedback (MVF) is used widely for motor recovery after stroke, but an optimal training setup and systematic procedure are lacking. New optimization strategies have been proposed, one of which is a camera ... -
Camper Self-Concept Promotes Environmental Awareness: A Relationship Mediated by Social Inclusion
(Journal of Youth Development, 2018-04-19)Summer camps in Canada provide services to hundreds of thousands of youth each year, giving opportunities for growth and development. However, summer camps in Canada remain understudied. Using one phase of data from the ... -
Can current models of accommodation and vergence predict accommodative behavior in myopic children?
(Elsevier, 2014-08)Investigations into the progression of myopia in children have long considered the role of accommodation as a cause and solution. Myopic children show high levels of accommodative adaptation, coupled with accommodative lag ... -
Can dietary guidelines support the transformation of food systems to foster human and planetary health?
(UNSCN NUTRITION, 2019-07)There is substantial evidence of the need for efforts to drastically shift the food system to enable eating patterns consistent with human and planetary health. This will have implications for food production, processing, ... -
Can Message-Tailoring Based on Regulatory Fit Theory Improve the Efficacy of Persuasive Physical Activity Systems?
(MDPI, 2019-11)Background: Many behaviour-change technologies have been designed to help people with a sedentary lifestyle to become more physically active. However, challenges exist in designing systems that work effectively. One of the ... -

Can physical joint simulators be used to anticipate clinical wear problems of new joint replacement implants prior to market release?
(Sage Publications, 2016-05-09)One of the most important mandates of physical joint simulators is to provide test results that allow the implant manufacturer to anticipate and perhaps avoid clinical wear problems with their new products. This is best ... -
Can students be taught to articulate employability skills?
(Emerald, 2019-03-03)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on research findings from a teaching and learning intervention that explored whether undergraduate university students can be taught to articulate their employability skills ... -
Can virtual water trade save water resources?
(Elsevier, 2019-10-15)At times, certain areas of China suffering from water shortages. While China's government is spurring innovation and infrastructure to help head off such problems, it may be that some water conservation could help as well. ... -
Canada en(counters) terrorism: US-Canada relations and counter-terrorism policy
(Taylor and Francis, 2009-01-15)This paper examines the role of identity in shaping counter-terrorism policy in Canada. We show that identity functions in three ways: constitutively by defining the range of choices a state is likely to consider; strategically ... -
Canadian Religion in Global Perspective
(2022-01-04)The goal of this report is to provide a concise high-quality descriptive portrait of key religiosity indicators in 81 countries from 2017-2020 European Values Survey (EVS) and World Values Survey (WVS) data, with a special ... -
Capacity and assortment planning under one-way supplier-driven substitution for pharmacy kiosks with low drug demand
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)MedAvail Technologies Inc. is a healthcare technology company that develops new technologies for self-serve pharmacy solutions. The technology, called MedCenter, is a pharmacy kiosk that provides 24/7, easy, and reliable ... -
Capturing Plant Metabolome with Direct-Immersion in Vivo Solid Phase Microextraction of Plant Tissues
(American Chemical Society, 2015-12-15)For the first time, an in vivo sampling mode of direct immersion–solid phase microextraction (DI-SPME) was employed to capture the metabolome of living plant specimens, using apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) as a model ... -
Carbon Budget of an Urban Stormwater Pond: Importance of Riparian Vegetation
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Stormwater ponds (SWPs) within urban areas are rapidly growing as a runoff and nutrient control measure and act as reactive zones for carbon and nutrient cycling. While SWPs are known to emit significant amounts of carbon ... -
Carbon dioxide flux and net primary production of a boreal treed bog: Responses to warming and water-table-lowering simulations of climate change
(European Geosciences Union, 2015-02-20)Midlatitude treed bogs represent significant carbon (C) stocks and are highly sensitive to global climate change. In a dry continental treed bog, we compared three sites: control, recent (1–3 years; experimental) and older ... -
Cardinality Constrained Robust Optimization Applied to a Class of Interval Observers
