Aigre douceur de l'abandon des problématiques minoritaires chez Marc Prescott
(Department of French: Dalhousie University, 2011)Auteur de plusieurs pièces de théâtre depuis le début des années 1990, Marc Prescott est un acteur de premier plan de la dramaturgie franco-manitobaine dont il contribue au profond renouvellement et au dynamisme. Après des ... -
Air Quality Impacts of Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Industries
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-09-19)Though refineries and petrochemical industries meet society’s energy demands and produce a range of useful chemicals, they can also affect air quality. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified polluted air as the ... -
ALDB: Debugging Alloy Models of Behavioural Requirements
(IEEE, 2020-08)Declarative modelling languages, such as Alloy, are becoming popular for describing behavioural requirements very early in system development because automated analysis of these models provides valuable feedback. Typically, ... -
ALGEBRAIC DEGREE IN SPATIAL MATRICIAL NUMERICAL RANGES OF LINEAR OPERATORS
(American Mathematical Society, 2021-07-20)We study the maximal algebraic degree of principal ortho-compressions of linear operators that constitute spatial matricial numerical ranges of higher order. We demonstrate (amongst other things) that for a (possibly ... -
“All Your Faves Are Problematic”: The Performative Spectatorship of Drunk Feminist Film
(Duke University Press, 2022-09-01)This article looks at the work of the Drunk Feminist Film (DFF) collective from Toronto, Canada. DFF screenings offer interactive in‐person and online events that combine watching popular Hollywood films with simultaneous ... -
An alternative derivation of orbital-free density functional theory
(AIP, 2019-05-28)Polymer self-consistent field theory techniques are used to derive quantum density functional theory without the use of the theorems of density functional theory. Instead, a free energy is obtained from a partition function ... -
Ambiguity aversion and optimal derivative-based pension investment with stochastic income and volatility
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)This paper provides a derivative-based optimal investment strategy for an ambiguity-adverse pension investor who faces not only risks from time-varying income and market return volatility but also uncertain economic ... -
Amplifying the Macromolecular Crowding Effect Using Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2012-01-11)The melting temperature (Tm) of DNA is affected not only by salt but also by the presence of high molecular weight (MW) solutes, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), acting as a crowding agent. For short DNAs in a solution ... -
Amplifying “Keep It in the Ground” First-Movers: Toward a Comparative Framework
(Society & Natural Resources, 2020-06-17)This article offers a framework for analyzing and extending the recent wave of national “keep it in the ground” (KIIG) bans on fossil fuel exploration and production. We situate this discussion in new theoretical work on ... -
Analysis of a brownfield management conflict in Canada
(Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources, 2017)A strategic analysis of an ongoing brownfield management conflict in Elmira, Ontario, Canada is conducted using the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution. This investigation of the situation as it existed in late 2016 ... -
Analysis of a pressure-robust hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations
(Springer, 2019-08-30)We present well-posedness and an a priori error analysis of the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method for the stationary form of the Navier-Stokes problem proposed in (J Sci Comput, 76(3):1484{ 1501, 2018). This scheme ... -
Analysis of an Optimal Stopping Problem Arising from Hedge Fund Investing
(Elsevier, 2020)We analyze the optimal withdrawal time for an investor in a hedge fund with a first-loss or shared-loss fee structure, given as the solution of an optimal stopping problem on the fund's assets with a piecewise linear payoff ... -
Analysis of interval-censored recurrent event processes subject to resolution
(Wiley, 2015-09)Interval-censored recurrent event data arise when the event of interest is not readily observed but the cumulative event count can be recorded at periodic assessment times. In some settings, chronic disease processes may ... -
Analysis of Solid-State Reaction Mechanisms with Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform Infrared Correlation Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2021-01-28)The utility of two-dimensional generalized correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) for tracking complex solid-state reactions is demonstrated using infrared spectra acquired during a photochemically induced decomposition reaction. ... -
Analysis of the optimal time to withdraw investments from hedge funds with alternative fee structures
(Oxford Academic, 2022-04)We study the optimal stopping problem arising from an investor determining the optimal time to withdraw from a hedge fund investment with a shared loss fee structure and a positive fee for assets under management. The ... -
Analytical Approach for Modeling of Multi Well CO2 Injection
(Elsevier, 2016-11-14)Disposal of carbon dioxide (CO2) into underground geological formations is considered a viable strategy for the mitigation of global warming. It aims to reduce greenhouse gases emitted from point sources such as power ... -

Analytical Study of Coupling Effects for Vibrations of Cable-Harnessed Beam Structures
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2019-01-22)This paper presents a distributed parameter model to study the effects of the harnessing cables on the dynamics of a host structure motivated by space structures applications. The structure is modeled using both Euler-Bernoulli ... -
Analyzing linearizability violations in the presence of read-modify-write operations
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)We consider an algorithmic problem related to analyzing consistency anomalies in distributed storage systems. Specifically, given a history of read, write, and read-modify-write operations applied by clients, we quantify ... -
Anatexis of former arc magmatic rocks during oceanic subduction: A case study from the North Wulan gneiss complex
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)Migmatites are widespread in the North Wulan gneiss complex from the South Qilian–North Qaidam orogenic belt, but their petrogenesis and ages are poorly constrained. Here, an integrated study of petrography, whole-rock ...
