Characterization of Snap-Cure Epoxy Resin under Tension and Compression Loading at Quasi-static, Intermediate and High Strain Rates
(2022)The recent development of snap curing epoxy resins, low-cost reinforcement fabrics, and automated rapid processing technologies has led to increased usage of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite materials in high-volume ... -
Characterization of the Distribution of Pyrene Molecules in Confined Geometries with the Model Free Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2017-12-21)Evidence is provided showing that global Model Free Analysis (MFA) of monomer and excimer fluorescence decays of pyrene dissolved in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) provides the same structural and dynamic ... -
Characterization of the Long-Range Internal Dynamics of Pyrene-Labeled Macromolecules by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12)The long-range internal dynamics (LRID) of 74 pyrene-labeled macromolecules (PyLMs) were characterized in four solvents representing a broad range of dielectric constants equal to 2.4 (toluene), 7.6 (tetrahydrofuran, THF), ... -
The characterization of γH2AX and p53 as biomarkers of genotoxic stress in a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brain cell line
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)Rainbow trout cell cultures were exposed to three genotoxicants and examined for effects on γH2AX and p53 levels by western blotting and on cell viability using the indicator dyes Alamar Blue (AB) for energy metabolism and ... -
Characterizing New Channels of Communication: A Case Study of Municipal 311 Requests in Edmonton, Canada
(Cogitatio Press, 2016)City governments around the world are developing and expanding how they connect to citizens. Technologies play an important role in making this connection, and one frequent way that cities connect with citizens is through ... -
Characterizing the immiscible transport properties of diesel and water in peat soil
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Extensive pipeline and railway corridors crossing Canadian peatlands make them vulnerable to hydrocarbon spills, potentially impairing ecosystem health, so it is important to be able to forecast hydrocarbon fate and transport ... -
Characterizing Transcriptional Networks in Male Rainbow Darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) that Regulate Testis Development over a Complete Reproductive Cycle
(PLOS, 2016-11-18)Intersex is a condition that has been associated with exposure to sewage effluents in male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum). To better understand changes in the transcriptome that are associated with intersex, we ... -
Charlevoix, lecteur de Sagard
(Université Laval, 2016)Résumé Dans son article, Guy Poirier analyse la façon dont Pierre-François-Xavier de Charlevoix perçoit, dans son Histoire et description générale de la Nouvelle France et dans son Journal de voyage, l’oeuvre du récollet ... -
Charting the course: Developing a roadmap of research priorities in the Canadian RDM landscape
(2019)Launched in 2015, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Portage Network is dedicated to the shared stewardship of research data in Canada through developing a national research data culture, fostering a ... -
The Cheese Stands Alone: Situating the University of Waterloo within the Canadian Academic Library Landscape
(Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians, 2023-02-03)Despite a body of scholarly literature about the labour conditions of Canadian academic libraries/ians, little has been written about non-unionized Canadian librarians/archivists or the related historical and evolving ... -
Chemical Modification of Polyisobutylene Succinimide Dispersants and Characterization of Their Associative Properties
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-17)The secondary amines found in b-PIBSI dispersants prepared by attaching two polyisobutylene chains to a polyamine core via two succinimide moieties were reacted with ethylene carbonate (EC). The reaction generated urethane ... -
Chemical shift assignments of calmodulin constructs with EF hand mutations
(Springer, 2016-04-01)Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic Ca2+-binding protein able to bind and regulate hundreds of different proteins. It consists of two globular domains joined by a flexible central linker region. Each one of these ... -
Chemical shift perturbations induced by residue specific mutations of CaM interacting with NOS peptides
(Springer, 2015-10-01)The regulation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by calmodulin (CaM) plays a major role in a number of key physiological and pathological processes. A detailed molecular level picture of how this regulation is achieved is ... -
CHI PLAYGUE: A Mobile Conference Networking Game
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-11-06)Modern professional networking relies on social media. To take advantage of this fact, we present CHI PLAYGUE, a conference game designed to facilitate interaction among strangers and encourage social networking to create ... -
Children accept information from incongruent speakers when the context explains the communicative incongruence
(Elsevier, 2019-07-30)Past work has shown that children are less likely to solicit information from speakers who use incongruent communicative cues (i.e., demonstrate an emotion nonverbally that differs from the emotional valence of the words) ... -
Children's Communicative Decisions Are Influenced by Gender, Shyness, and Peer Experiences
(Wayne State University Press, 2020-01)The present study examined how school-age children's communicative decisions are influenced by the situation, their social partner, and their own characteristics (gender, shyness levels, and history of peer relationships). ... -
Children's reactions to inequality: Associations with empathy and parental teaching
