Syntactic Complexity of Regular Ideals
(Springer, 2017-08-04)The state complexity of a regular language is the number of states in a minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting the language. The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the cardinality of its syntactic ... -
Syntactic Complexity of Suffix-Free Languages
(Elsevier, 2017-09-05)We solve an open problem concerning syntactic complexity: We prove that the cardinality of the syntactic semigroup of a suffix-free language with n left quotients (that is, with state complexity n) is at most (n−1)n−2+n−2 ... -
Synthesis of carboxylated derivatives of poly(isobutylene-co-isoprene) by azide–alkyne “click” chemistry
(Springer, 2018-09-28)The synthesis of carboxylated derivatives of poly(isobutylene-co-isoprene) (isobutylene–isoprene rubber, IIR) with substitution levels ranging from 1 to 4 mol% and different spacer lengths was accomplished through azide–alkyne ... -
Synthesis of polyimides from α,αʹ-bis(3-aminophenoxy)-p-xylene: Spectroscopic, single crystal XRD and thermal studies
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)The meta-catenated ether-based diamine monomer α,αʹ-bis(3-aminophenoxy)-p-xylene (3APX) was synthesized from dinitro precursor α,αʹ-bis(3-nitrophenoxy)-p-xylene (3NPX). FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic studies accompanied ... -
Synthesis of Vertically-Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires and Their Application as a Photocatalyst
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-01-11)Vertically aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were hydrothermally synthesized on a glass substrate with the assistance of a pre-coated ZnO seeding layer. The crystalline structure, morphology and transmission spectrum of ... -
Synthetic quorum sensing in model microcapsule colonies
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017-07-24)Biological quorum sensing refers to the ability of cells to gauge their population density and collectively initiate a new behavior once a critical density is reached. Designing synthetic materials systems that exhibit ... -
A system dynamics model for optimal allocation of natural gas to various demand sectors
(Elsevier, 2019-09-02)Natural gas is the most promising fossil fuel in the transition to a low-carbon energy future, and many countries have long term plans to increase its share in their energy supply mix through pricing regulations. While ... -
A systematic approach for modeling of waterflooding process in the presence of geological uncertainties in oil reservoirs
(Elsevier, 2018-03-04)In this paper, a systematic approach which is able to consider different types of geological uncertainty is presented to model the waterflooding process. The proposed scheme, which is based on control and system theories, ... -
A Systematic Review of Multimedia Tools for Cybersecurity Awareness and Education
(ACM, 2021-01-02)We conduct a comprehensive review covering academic publications and industry products relating to tools for cybersecurity awareness and education aimed at non-expert end-users developed in the past 20 years. Through our ... -
Systematic Reviews and the Evolving Role of Librarians
(2014-01-29)The demand for systematic reviews (SR) in research intensive health related departments is rapidly increasing, and academic librarians have the expertise necessary to support these comprehensive reviews. In summer 2013, ... -
Systematic Search and Reporting Techniques Applied to the Gray Literature: A Review of Canadian School Breakfast Program Guidelines
(2015-01-30)This poster was presented at the Mosaic ’16 (Medical Library Association) Conference on May 17, 2016, Toronto, Ontario. Abstract: Methods: A grey literature search plan was developed to incorporate four different searching ... -
Tailoring green and sintered density of pure iron parts using binder jetting additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Binder jetting additive manufacturing (BJAM) is a comparatively low-cost process that enables manufacturing of complex and customizable metal parts. This process is applied to low-cost water-atomized iron powder with the ... -
Taking Care of Authenticity on the CBC’s Randy’s Vinyl Tap
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-06-19)This essay explores the radio program Randy’s Vinyl Tap, which is hosted by Randy Bachman and airs on CBC Radio 1 (2005-present). I argue that the show’s complex reception can be explained, in part, by the fact that it ... -
A tale of two Islandoras
(2017-02-02)The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) and the University of Waterloo (UW) represent two distinct experiences on the road to implementing Islandora – one pioneered its development and the other is launching the ... -
TalkingTiles: Supporting Personalization and Customization in an AAC App for Individuals with Aphasia
(ACM, 2015-11)The development of ‘Post-PC’ interactive surfaces, such as smartphones and tablets, and specialized support software informed by HCI research has created new opportunities for Augmentative and Alternative Communication ... -
Tandem DNAzymes for mRNA cleavage: choice of enzyme, metal ions and the antisense effect
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)The concept of DNAzyme-based gene silencing via mRNA cleavage was proposed over twenty years ago. A number of studies regarding intracellular gene silencing have been reported as well. However, questions have been raised ... -
Tandem Phosphorothioate Modifications for DNA Adsorption Strength and Polarity Control on Gold Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2014-09-10)Unmodified DNA was recently used to functionalize gold nanoparticles via DNA base adsorption. Compared to thiolated DNA, however, the application of unmodified DNA is limited by the lack of sequence generality, adsorption ... -
