(American Psychological Association, 2020)Metamotivation refers to the beliefs and mechanisms by which people regulate their motivational states to achieve desired ends. Recent metamotivation research demonstrates that Westerners recognize the benefits of engaging ... -
Crowdsourcing the Disaster Management Cycle
(IGI Global, 2016-10-01)Crowdsourcing is a communication platform that can be used during and after a disastrous event. Previous research in crisis crowdsourcing demonstrates its wide adoption for aiding response efforts by non-government ... -
Cultural mosaic beliefs as a new measure of the psychological climate for diversity: Individual distinctiveness and synergy in culturally diverse teams
(Sage Publishing, 2017-12-11)This article introduces the concept of cultural mosaic beliefs (CMBs) as a component of effective multicultural work groups. Building on theories of group diversity and self-verification, and responding to calls to understand ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
The Current and Evolving Landscape of Bibliometric Tools and Technologies
(American Library Association, 2022-11)While bibliometrics has been around for decades, with the recent development of new bibliometric tools, there has been a surge in interest in bibliometric services at academic institutions in North America. Navigating this ... -
Current Research on Gaseous Ammonia Detecting and Capture Technologies
(Elsevier, 2023)Ammonia is currently widely used for fertilizers, and it continues to grow as a potential green fuel source or hydrogen carrier which may result in growing ammonia emissions. Increasing anthropogenic ammonia emissions ... -
Customizable Machine-Learning Models for Rapid Microplastic Identification Using Raman Microscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11-29)Raman spectroscopy is commonly used in microplastics identification, but equipment variations yield inconsistent data structures that disrupt the development of communal analytical tools. We report a strategy to overcome ... -
Cyberheroes: An Interactive Ebook for Improving Children’s Online Privacy
(Scienceopen, 2017-07)We designed, illustrated, and developed Cyberheroes, an educational interactive ebook that teaches children about online privacy. The ebook was evaluated with children and parents, and had positive effects on children’s ... -
Cyberheroes: The Design and Evaluation of an Interactive Ebook to Educate Children about Online Privacy
(Elsevier, 2017-07)We designed an educational interactive ebook called Cyberheroes and evaluated it to assess its effectiveness at increasing children’s online privacy knowledge and behaviour, and supporting child-parent privacy-related ... -
Cyclicity of finite Drinfeld modules
(Wiley, 2009-12)Le tA=Fq[T] be the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq,letk=Fq(T) be the rational function field, and let K be a finite extension of k. For a prime P of K, we denote by OP the valuation ring of P, by MP the maximal ... -
Cycling degradation testing and analysis of a LiFePO4 battery at actual conditions
(Wiley, 2017-12-01)This paper presents a degradation testing of a lithium-ion battery developed using real world drive cycles obtained from an electric vehicle (EV). For this, a data logger was installed in the EV, and real world drive cycle ... -
Damage Evolution in Complex-Phase and Dual-Phase Steels during Edge Stretching
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-03-27)The role of microstructural damage in controlling the edge stretchability of Complex-Phase (CP) and Dual-Phase (DP) steels was evaluated using hole tension experiments. The experiments considered a tensile specimen with a ... -
Damage Measurements in Epoxy Structural Adhesives using Microhardness
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2018-04)The design of adhesively joined components requires the ability to predict and model the joint response under expected operating conditions, including crash events for vehicle structures. Specifically, quantifying adhesive ... -
Daptomycin forms cation- and size-selective pores in model membranes
(Elsevier, 2014-10)Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that is used clinically to treat severe infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Its bactericidal action involves the calcium-dependent binding to membranes containing ... -
Dash+: Extending Alloy with Hierarchical States and Replicated Processes for Modelling Transition Systems
(IEEE, 2021-09)Modelling systems abstractly shows great promise to uncover bugs early in system development. The formal language Alloy provides the means of writing constraints abstractly, but lacks explicit constructs for describing ... -
DASH: A New Language for Declarative Behavioural Requirements with Control State Hierarchy
(IEEE, 2017-09-04)We present DASH, a new language for describing formal behavioural models of requirements. DASH combines the ability to write abstract, declarative transitions (as in Z or Alloy) with a labelled control state hierarchy (as ... -
Dash: declarative behavioural modelling in Alloy with control state hierarchy
(Springer Nature, 2023-04)We present Dash, an extension to the Alloy language to model dynamic behaviour using the labelled control state hierarchy of Statecharts. From Statecharts, Dash borrows the concepts to specify hierarchy, concurrency, and ... -
DASH: Declarative Modelling with Control State Hierarchy (Preliminary Version)
(University of Waterloo, 2018)We present a new language, called DASH, for describing formal behavioural models. DASH combines common modelling constructs to describe abstractly both data and control in an integrated manner. DASH uses the Alloy language ... -
