Four-coloring P6-free graphs. I. Extending an excellent precoloring.
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2024)This is the first paper in a series whose goal is to give a polynomial-time algorithm for the 4-coloring problem and the 4-precoloring extension problem restricted to the class of graphs with no induced six-vertex path, ... -
Four-coloring P6-free graphs. II. Finding an excellent precoloring.
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2024)This is the second paper in a series of two. The goal of the series is to give a polynomial-time algorithm for the 4-coloring problem and the 4-precoloring extension problem restricted to the class of graphs with no induced ... -
Fracture Characterization of Rolled Sheet Alloys in Shear Loading: Studies of Specimen Geometry, Anisotropy, and Rate Sensitivity
(Springer, 2017-01-01)Two different shear sample geometries were employed to investigate the failure behaviour of two automotive alloy rolled sheets; a highly anisotropic magnesium alloy (ZEK100) and a relatively isotropic dual phase steel ... -
Fracture mechanics based estimation of fatigue lives of laser welded joints
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)The conventional joining methods like resistance spot welding and arc welding have several challenges during joining of thin sheets of high strength steel materials. One of the main challenges is that application of these ... -
A Framework and Taxonomy of Videogame Playing Preferences
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-10-15)Player preferences for different gaming styles or game elements has been a topic of interest in human-computer interaction for over a decade. However, current models suggested by the extant literature are generally based ... -
A Framework for Analyzing Broadly Engaged Philosophy of Science
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-01-01)Philosophers of science are increasingly interested in engaging with scientific communities, policy makers, and members of the public; however, the nature of this engagement has not been systematically examined. Instead ... -
Friction and Adhesion of Microparticle Suspensions on Repellent Surfaces
(ACS, 2020-11-06)With the recent advancements in the development and application of repellent surfaces, both in air and under liquid medium, accurate characterization of repellence behavior is critical in understanding the mechanism behind ... -
FrictionalMonolith: A Monolithic Optimization-based Approach for Granular Flow with Contact-Aware Rigid-Body Coupling
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2021)We propose FrictionalMonolith, a monolithic pressure-friction-contact solver for more accurately, robustly, and efficiently simulating two-way interactions of rigid bodies with continuum granular materials or inviscid ... -
From Coast to Coast: Canadian Collaboration in a Changing RDM Seascape
(2016-06-06)There is power in collaboration. With academic institutions across Canada preparing for possible changes in funding requirements around sharing and preserving data and the submission of data management plans, librarians ... -
From eye to face: The impact of face outline, feature number, and feature saliency on the early neural response to faces
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)The LIFTED model of early face perception postulates that the face-sensitive N170 event-related potential may reflect underlying neural inhibition mechanisms which serve to regulate holistic and featural processing. It ... -
From Nosy Little Brothers to Stranger-Danger: Children and Parents’ Perception of Mobile Threats
(ACM, 2016-06-21)The rise in mobile media use by children has heightened parents' concerns for their online safety. Through semi-structured interviews of parent-child dyads, we explore the perceived privacy and security threats faced by ... -
From Source to Sink: Petrogenesis of Cretaceous Anatectic Granites from the Fosdick Migmatite-Granite Complex, West Antarctica
(Oxford University Press, 2016-07-01)Anatectic granites from the Fosdick migmatite-granite complex yield U-Pb zircon crystallization ages that range from 115 to 100Ma, with a dominant grouping at 107-100 Ma, which corresponds to the timing of dome formation ... -
From the ground up: Building a roadmap of research priorities for a national research data management community
(2019-05)Launched in 2015, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Portage Network is dedicated to the shared stewardship of research data in Canada through fostering national communities of practice for research data, ... -
From Waste to Wealth: Policies to Promote the Circular Economy
(Elsevier, 2024-03-01)The policy article addresses the urgent need for comprehensive policy framework to advance the circular economy, a crucial strategy in mitigating the global waste and pollution crisis. It seeks to bridge the research gap ... -
Fully oxygenated water columns over continental shelves before the Great Oxidation Event
(Nature, 2019-02-25)Late Archaean sedimentary rocks contain compelling geochemical evidence for episodic accumulation of dissolved oxygen in the oceans along continental margins before the Great Oxidation Event. However, the extent of this ... -
Functional nucleic acids for detecting bacteria
(De Gruyter, 2013-01-31)Bacterial infection represents one of the leading causes of disease and death, and as such, bacterial detection is an important step in managing infectious diseases. The current protocol requires growing cell cultures, ... -
Functional properties of navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) protein concentrates obtained by pneumatic tribo-electrostatic separation
(Elsevier, 2019-06-15)A sustainable, chemical-free dry tribo-electrostatic separation approach was employed to fractionate navy bean flour. The resulting protein-enriched fractions had 36–38% protein on a moisture free basis, accounting for 43% ... -
Fuzzy levels of preference strength in a graph model with multiple decision makers
