Considerations for Dietary Assessment in the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project
(Alberta's Tomorrow Project, 2018-04)Dietary factors are leading contributors to chronic disease and mortality globally and in Canada (1–3), and have been recognized as modifiable risk factors for certain cancers (4). However, much remains to be learned about ... -
Considerations of Varied Thermoregulatory Expressions in Migration Theory
(Wiley, 2021-10)Optimal migration theory has been used for 3 decades to generate predictions of stopover behavior and understand migration ecology. Yet, to date, there have been no attempts to understand the impacts of thermoregulation ... -
Consistency between verbal and non-verbal affective cues: a clue to speaker credibility
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-02-19)Listeners are exposed to inconsistencies in communication; for example, when speakers’ words (i.e. verbal) are discrepant with their demonstrated emotions (i.e. non-verbal). Such inconsistencies introduce ambiguity, which ... -
Constitutive characterization of a rare-earth magnesium alloy sheet (ZEK100-O) in shear loading: Studies of anisotropy and rate sensitivity
(Elsevier, 2017-08-01)Rare-earth magnesium alloys such as ZEK100-O offer improved ductility over other conventional magnesium alloys at room temperature; however, they exhibit significant anisotropy and complex yield behaviour. In this work, a ... -
Constrained-CNN losses for weakly supervised segmentation
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Weakly-supervised learning based on, e.g., partially labelled images or image-tags, is currently attracting significant attention in CNN segmentation as it can mitigate the need for full and laborious pixel/voxel annotations. ... -
Constraint bubbles and affine regions: reduced fluid models for efficient immersed bubbles and flexible spatial coarsening
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-07)We propose to enhance the capability of standard free-surface flow simulators with efficient support for immersed bubbles through two new models: constraint-based bubbles and affine fluid regions. Unlike its predecessors, ... -
Constructing cascade bloom filters for efficient access enforcement
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We address access enforcement — the process of determining whether a request for access to a resource by a principal should be granted. While access enforcement is essential to security, it must not unduly impact performance. ... -
Constructing pristine and modified cellulose nanocrystals based cured polychloroprene nanocomposite films for dipped goods application
(Elsevier, 2020-08)In this work, polychloroprene rubber (CR) nanocomposite films reinforced with native and modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were evaluated for dipped goods applications. The CNC modification, with a goal of enhancing ... -
Construction and analysis of a genetically tuneable lytic phage display system
(Springer, 2013-09-01)The Bacteriophage lambda capsid protein gpD has been used extensively for fusion polypeptides that can be expressed from plasmids in Escherichia coli and remain soluble. In this study, a genetically controlled dual expression ... -
Contact lens physical properties and lipid deposition in a novel characterized artificial tear solution
(Molecular Vision, 2011-12-24)Purpose: To characterize various properties of a physiologically-relevant artificial tear solution (ATS) containing a range of tear film components within a complex salt solution, and to measure contact lens parameters and ... -
Contaminants and Nutrients in Traditional Food Fishes in Kluane Lake, YT
(2016-06)The outcomes of a collaborative project led by the Kluane First Nation (KFN), in partnership with the Arctic Institute of Community-Based Research (AICBR), the University of Waterloo, and Western University, are presented ... -
Content Selection and Curation for Web Archiving: The Gatekeepers vs. the Masses
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-06)Any preservation effort must begin with an assessment of what content to preserve, and web archiving is no different. There have historically been two answers to the question "what should we archive?" The Internet Archive's ... -
Context matters: criticism and accommodation by close others associated with treatment attitudes in those with anxiety
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-08-26)Background: Many people with anxiety do not seek therapy due to negative views of treatment. Although close others (e.g. romantic partners, family members, close friends) are highly involved in treatment decisions, the ... -
Continuous approximation of linear impulsive systems and a new form of robust stability
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)The time-scale tolerance for linear ordinary impulsive differential equations is introduced. How large the time-scale tolerance is directly reflects the degree to which the qualitative dynamics of the linear impulsive ... -
Continuous Modification of Polypropylene Via Photoinitiation
(Wiley, 2015-07-03)A twin screw extruder was used for continuous modification of polypropylene (PP) via UV radiation. Long chain branches were incorporated in the PP backbone to modify its rheological properties. Benzophenone (BPH) as ... -
Continuous Variable-Specic Resolutions of Feature Interactions
(ACM, 2017-09)Systems that are assembled from independently developed features suffer from feature interactions, in which features affect one another's behaviour in surprising ways. The Feature Interaction Problem results from trying ... -
Continuum Foam: A Material Point Method for Shear-Dependent Flows
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-10-01)We consider the simulation of dense foams composed of microscopic bubbles, such as shaving cream and whipped cream. We represent foam not as a collection of discrete bubbles, but instead as a continuum. We employ the ... -
Contraband Cigarette Purchasing from First Nation reserves in Ontario and Quebec: Findings from the 2002–2014 ITC Canada Survey
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Backround: The availability of contraband cigarettes provides incentives for price-sensitive smokers to reduce their monetary costs of smoking. The objectives of this study were to examine whether Canadian smokers’ geographic ... -
Contrasting accessory mineral behavior in minimum-temperature melts: Empirical constraints from the Himalayan metamorphic core
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Medium-grained leucogranite in the Tama Kosi region of the Nepalese Himalayan Metamorphic Core yields a relatively narrow range of monazite 208Pb/232Th dates with a dominant population at ~21.0 Ma inferred to represent ... -
Contrasting physiological responses between invasive sea lamprey and non-target bluegill in response to acute lampricide exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-08-01)Control of invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America uses lampricides, which consist of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) and niclosamide. Lampricides are thought to inhibit ...
