Clinically Practical Approach for Screening of Low Muscularity Using Electronic Linear Measures on Computed Tomography Images in Critically Ill Patients
(Wiley, 2018-07-12)Background: Computed tomography (CT) scans performed during routine hospital care offer the opportunity to quantify skeletal muscle and predict mortality and morbidity in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Existing methods ... -
Clinician-Driven Design of VitalPAD–An Intelligent Monitoring and Communication Device to Improve Patient Safety in the Intensive Care Unit
(IEEE, 2018-03-05)The pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) is a complex environment, in which a multidisciplinary team of clinicians (registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians) continually observe and evaluate patient ... -
Co-immobilization of multiple enzymes by metal coordinated nucleotide hydrogel nanofibers: improved stability and an enzyme cascade for glucose detection
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-21)Preserving enzyme activity and promoting synergistic activity via co-localization of multiple enzymes are key topics in bionanotechnology, materials science, and analytical chemistry. This study reports a facile method for ... -
Coevolution Of Risk Perception, Sexual Behaviour, And Hiv Transmission In An Agent-Based Model
(Elsevier, 2013-11-21)Risk perception shapes individual behaviour, and is in turn shaped by the consequences of that behaviour. Here we explore this dynamics in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread. We construct a simplified ... -
Cognitive and behavioural predictors of adolescents' communicative perspective-taking and social relationships
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Given the pivotal role that social interactions play for adolescents' well-being, understanding the factors that influence communication is key. The present study examined relations between adolescents' communicative ... -
Cohesive zone modeling of ductile tearing process in brazed joints
(Elsevier, 2013-04-01)Ductile tearing process in low carbon steel brazed joints with copper filler metal is studied using the Cohesive Zone Model. The Cohesive Zone Model is characterized by two parameters related to the cohesive strength and ... -
Cohesive zone modeling of fatigue crack growth in brazed joints
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)Fatigue crack growth in low carbon steel brazed joints with copper filler metal is modeled by an irreversible Cohesive Zone Model. Strain-controlled fatigue tests are performed on the brazed specimens, and the corresponding ... -
Cohort study design for illness-death processes with disease status under intermittent observation
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-12-12)Cohort studies are routinely conducted to learn about the incidence or progression rates of chronic diseases. The illness-death model offers a natural framework for joint consideration of non-fatal events in the semi-competing ... -
Coinfection takes its toll: Sea lice override the protective effects of vaccination against a bacterial pathogen in Atlantic salmon
(Springer Nature, 2017-12-19)Vaccination is considered crucial for disease prevention and fish health in the global salmon farming industry. Nevertheless, some aspects, such as the efficacy of vaccines, can be largely circumvented during natural ... -
« Coïncidence secrète » : les premiers recueils d’Andrée Lacelle, d’Hélène Dorion et de Dyane Léger
(Le Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française (CRCCF) de l’Université d’Ottawa, 2015-01-01)Résumé Cet article propose une analyse comparée des premières oeuvres d’Andrée Lacelle (Ontario), d’Hélène Dorion (Québec) et de Dyane Léger (Acadie). Dès l’entrée dans la modernité des littératures acadienne et ... -
Collaborating to Automate Big Data Cleaning: An Example Using Local Bibliometric Data
(2016-12-06)This session will showcase a unique local collaboration between the Library, the Office of Research, and Institutional Analysis and Planning to support a project involving large amounts of complex data. The highly collaborative ... -
Collaborative archival practice: Rethinking outreach, access, and reconciliation using Wikipedia
(2017-04-28)Based on first-hand experience and concrete examples, the presentation outlines the use of Wikipedia as a tool for community engagement and as a way of improving the discoverability of archival content through collaboration. ... -
"The Collecting Itself Feels Good": Towards Collection Interfaces for Digital Game Objects
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Digital games offer a variety of collectible objects. We investigate players' collecting behaviors in digital games to determine what digital game objects players enjoyed collecting and why they valued these objects. Using ... -
Collection Center Location with Equity Considerations in Reverse Logistics Networks
(Taylor and Francis, 2014-11-01)In this paper, we study a collection center location problem with equity considerations within reverse logistics network design. The aim of the problem is to determine the locations and the capacities of the collection ... -
Colorimetric Detection of Mercury Ions in Water with Capped Silver Nanoprisms
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-05-10)The emission of mercury (II) from coal combustion and other industrial processes may have impacts on water resources, and the detection with sensitive but rapid testing methods is desirable for environmental screening. ... -
Colouring perfect graphs with bounded clique number
(Elsevier, 2017-01)A graph is perfect if the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of its largest clique, and an algorithm of Grötschel, Lovász, and Schrijver [9] from 1988 finds an optimal colouring of a perfect graph ... -
Combination treatment of epilepsy with ketogenic diet and concurrent pharmacological inhibition of cytochrome P450 2E1
(Elsevier, 2013-04)While most epileptic patients respond to treatment with existing antiepileptic drugs, there remains a considerable number of patients in whom these drugs do not suffice. Such patients, particularly children, are often ... -
Combined effects of inversion and feature removal on N170 responses elicited by faces and car fronts
(Elsevier, 2013-02-28)The face-sensitive N170 is typically enhanced for inverted compared to upright faces. Itier, Alain, Sedore, and McIntosh (2007) recently suggested that this N170 inversion effect is mainly driven by the eye region which ... -
