Feminist Shadow Networks: 'Thinking, Talking, and Making' as Praxes of Relationality and Care
(Open Library of Humanities, 2023-10-17)In the face of the constraints and pressures of the neoliberal university, this article argues for the importance of feminist shadow networks as a response to the unequal academic grounds on which scholars and students are ... -
Field validation of DNA-based biosensor for rapid detection of ultra-trace mercury(II) in natural waters
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Mercury (Hg) remains a significant pollutant of global concern. In particular, contamination of surface water and groundwater by Hg poses severe threats, unrecognized in many cases, to the drinking water safety of numerous, ... -
Fighting Impostor Syndrome: How Librarians Are Bridging the Gap Between the Humanities and the Sciences
(2017-02-01)While many librarians possess undergraduate degrees in the humanities, increasingly, there are excellent job prospects emerging in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. New graduates and librarians who ... -

Finance for Agriculture or Agriculture for Finance?
(Wiley, 2015-10)Food studies scholars have paid increasing attention to ‘financialization’ within the food system as private financial actors have played a growing role in various facets of the sector in recent years. While there has been ... -
Financialization, distance and global food politics
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)This paper provides a new perspective on the political implications of intensified financialization in the global food system. There has been a growing recognition of the role of finance in the global food system, in ... -
Financing micro-entrepreneurs for poverty alleviation: a performance analysis of microfinance services offered by BRAC, ASA, and Proshika from Bangladesh
(Springer, 2018-09-18)Microfinance services have emerged as an effective tool for financing microentrepreneurs to alleviate poverty. Since the 1970s, development theorists have considered non-governmental microfinance institutions (MFIs) as the ... -
Finding an induced path that is not a shortest path
(Elsevier, 2021-07)We give a polynomial-time algorithm that, with input a graph G and two vertices u; v of G, decides whether there is an induced uv-path that is longer than the shortest uv-path. -
Finding Community in the Ruins of GeoCities: Distantly Reading a Web Archive
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-10)This paper provides a brief overview of my work with the GeoCities web archive. Asking the question of “can we find community,” I use it as a case study to explain various methods for distantly reading web archives -
Finding Large H-Colorable Subgraphs in Hereditary Graph Classes
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2021-10-14)We study the Max Partial H-Coloring problem: given a graph G, find the largest induced subgraph of G that admits a homomorphism into H, where H is a fixed pattern graph without loops. Note that when H is a complete graph ... -
Finding the Win: Transforming STEM Learning and Information-Seeking Experiences
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2023-07)Transformative learning focuses on the idea that learners can adjust their thinking based on new information. This chapter explores how a STEM librarian can use transformative learning theory and pedagogy to change student ... -
Fine Motor Skills of Children With Amblyopia Improve Following Binocular Treatment
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016-09-08)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether reduced fine motor skills in children with amblyopia improve after binocular treatment and whether improvements are sustained once treatment has ceased. Methods: ... -
Fine-grained data access control with attribute-hiding policy for cloud-based IoT
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)Ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is a promising approach to achieve fine-grained access control over the outsourced data in Internet of Things (IoT). However, in the existing CP-ABE schemes, the access ... -
Finite Model Finding Using the Logic of Equality with Uninterpreted Functions
(Springer, 2016)The problem of finite model finding, finding a satisfying model for a set of first-order logic formulas for a finite scope, is an important step in many verification techniques. In MACE-style solvers, the problem is mapped ... -
A First Look at Generating Website Fingerprinting Attacks via Neural Architecture Search
(Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society, 2023-11-26)An adversary can use website fingerprinting (WF) attacks to breach the privacy of users who access the web through encrypted tunnels like Tor. These attacks have increasingly relied on the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) ... -
Fish Oil-Derived Fatty Acids in Pregnancy and Wheeze and Asthma in Offspring
(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2016-12-29)BACKGROUND Reduced intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) may be a contributing factor to the increasing prevalence of wheezing disorders. We assessed the effect of supplementation with n-3 LCPUFAs ... -
Five Hilbert Space Problems in Operator Algebras
(Springer, 2022-11-03)A number of questions which have been solved over the years in the theory of single operators acting on Hilbert space have interesting analogues when recast in the setting of elements of C*-algebras. We list five of these, ... -
Fixation to features and neural processing of facial expressions in a gender discrimination task
(Elsevier, 2015-10-01)Early face encoding, as reflected by the N170 ERP component, is sensitive to fixation to the eyes. Whether this sensitivity varies with facial expressions of emotion and can also be seen on other ERP components such as P1 ... -
Flexible Energy Storage Systems Based on Electrically Conductive Hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2019-01)To power wearable electronic devices, various flexible energy storage systems have been designed to work in consecutive bending, stretching and even twisting conditions. Supercapacitors and batteries have been considered ... -
