A dynamic optimization framework for integration of design, control and scheduling of multi-product chemical processes under disturbance and uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2017-11-02)A novel dynamic optimization framework is presented for integration of design, control, and scheduling for multi-product processes in the presence of disturbances and parameter uncertainty. This framework proposes an ... -
Dynamic Stall on Pitching Cambered Airfoil with Phase Offset Trailing Edge Flap
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2020-04-20)Dynamic stall on wind turbine blades often leads to severe fatigue that tends to decrease the lifespan of the blades. To mitigate cyclic loading on the blades, trailing edge flaps (TEF) may be used to control the energy ... -
Dynamics And Control Of Foot-And-Mouth Disease In Endemic Countries: A Pair Approximation Model
(Elsevier, 2014-09-21)Previous mathematical models of spatial farm-to-farm transmission of foot and mouth disease (FMD) have explored the impacts of control measures such as culling and vaccination during a single outbreak in a country normally ... -
Dynamics of a Diffusive Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton Model with Spatio-temporal Delay
(SIAM, 2021-01)We study a diffusive nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model with spatio-temporal delay. The closed nature of the system allows the formulation of a conservation law of biomass that governs the ecosystem. We advance ... -
Dynamics of biogenic gas bubbles in peat and their effects on peatland biogeochemistry
(American Geophysical Union, Wiley, 2005-01-18)Production and emission of peat gas has attracted great interest because substantial amounts of methane (CH4) are emitted to the atmosphere from peat soils. Many studies indicate supersaturation of CH4 in peat water, ... -
Dynamics of Nitric Oxide Synthase–Calmodulin Interactions at Physiological Calcium Concentrations
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-24)The intracellular Ca2+ concentration is an important regulator of many cellular functions. The small acidic protein calmodulin (CaM) serves as a Ca2+ sensor and control element for many enzymes. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) ... -
Dynamics Of The Global Wheat Trade Network And Resilience To Shocks
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-03)Agri-food trade networks are increasingly vital to human well-being in a globalising world. Models can help us gain insights into trade network dynamics and predict how they might respond to future disturbances such as ... -
Dynamis in Rome? Revisiting the South Frieze of the Ara Pacis Augustae
(Franz Steiner Verlag, 2020-12-01)The Senate voted to build the Ara Pacis to welcome home Augustus after restoring order in the western provinces, while Agrippa pursued a similar mission in the East. Agrippa had settled the turmoil in the Bosporus by ... -
Dysregulated Phosphate Metabolism, Periodontal Disease, and Cancer: Possible Global Health Implications
(MDPI, 2019-02-11)An association between periodontal disease and cancer has been established in recent studies, but no common etiology has been identified in the hopes of reducing the global burden of these non-communicable diseases. This ... -
Dysregulation of Phosphate Metabolism and Conditions Associated With Phosphate Toxicity
(Nature, 2015-06-03)Phosphate homeostasis is coordinated and regulated by complex cross-organ talk through delicate hormonal networks. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), secreted in response to low serum calcium, has an important role in maintaining ... -
E-banking and consumer debt
(Inderscience, 2021-01-01)Canadian consumers have a debt problem and averaged a nationwide debt-to-income ratio of 1.654 in 2016. Based on current research, it is unclear whether e-banking has a positive or negative impact on this ratio. This paper ... -
Early sensitivity for eyes within faces: A new neuronal account of holistic and featural processing
(Elsevier, 2014-08-01)Eyes are central to face processing however their role in early face encoding as reflected by the N170 ERP component is unclear. Using eye tracking to enforce fixation on specific facial features, we found that the N170 ... -
Early-Stage Incorporation Strategy for Regioselective Labeling of Peptides using the 2-Cyanobenzothiazole/1,2-Aminothiol Bioorthogonal Click Reaction
(Wiley, 2018-03)Herein, we describe a synthetic strategy for the regioselective labeling of peptides by using a bioorthogonal click reaction between 2‐cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) and a 1,2‐aminothiol moiety. This methodology allows for the ... -
Earth and environmental science immersive learning experiences using a Google Expedition Kit
(2019-07-31)How do we engage and motivate students in immersive learning experiences that are otherwise impossible (i.e. Geologic History of the Grand Canyon) or not feasible (i.e. 3D perspective of volcanoes of the world) or invisible ... -
Eco-Innovation with Opportunity of Licensing and Threat of Imitation
(Elsevier, 2017-03-20)We consider the product and process innovation effort decisions a sustainable (eco) manufacturer (innovator/leader) makes in the presence of a traditional manufacturer (imitator/follower) who may procure a license or imitate ... -
Edge coloring multigraphs without small dense subsets
(Elsevier, 2015-12-06)One consequence of a long-standing conjecture of Goldberg and Seymour about the chromatic index of multigraphs would be the following statement. Suppose $G$ is a multigraph with maximum degree $\Delta$, such that no vertex ... -
Effect of a Mobile Phone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial
(JMIR, 2018-10-23)Background: Digital mobile technology presents a promising medium for reaching young adults with smoking cessation interventions because they are the heaviest users of this technology. Objective: The aim of this study ... -
Effect of alloy composition on hot deformation behavior of some Al-Mg-Si alloys
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)The hot flow stress behavior of three Al-Mg-Si alloys was determined by performing hot deformation compression tests on a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator over the temperature range 400 °C–550 °C and at strain rates ... -
Effect of ambient humidity on the Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer
(Springer Nature, 2018-06-19)Purpose: The Cochet–Bonnet (COBO) aesthesiometer is the current standard in corneal sensitivity assessment. This study investigates the influence of ambient room humidity levels on the stimulus force exerted by the ... -
Effect of arm position on the prediction of kinematics from EMG in amputees
(Springer Verlag, 2013-02-01)Myoelectric control has been extensively applied in multi-function hand/wrist prostheses. The performance of this type of control is however, influenced by several practical factors that still limit its clinical applicability. ...
