A generalization of Roth's theorem in function fields
(World Scientific Publishing, 2009-11)Let 𝔽q[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field 𝔽q, and let formula denote the subset of 𝔽q[t] containing all polynomials of degree strictly less than N. For non-zero elements r1, …, rs of 𝔽q satisfying r1 ... -
A Generalization of the Erdös-Kac Theorem and its Applications
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-12-01)We axiomatize the main properties of the classical Erdös-Kac Theorem in order to apply it to a general context. We provide applications in the cases of number fields, function fields, and geometrically irreducible varieties ... -
A Generalization of the Turán Theorem and Its Applications
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-12-01)We axiomatize the main properties of the classical Turan Theorem in order to apply it to a general context. We provide applications in the cases of number fields, function fields, and geometrically irreducible varieties ... -
Genesis of a giant Paleoproterozoic strata-bound magnesite deposit: Constraints from Mg isotopes
(Elsevier, 2016-08-01)Giant strata-bound magnesite deposits are absent in modern and most Phanerozoic sedimentary environments but occur predominantly in Precambrian strata. These deposits may have formed directly through precipitation of evolved ... -
Geo-Phisher: The Design and Evaluation of Information Visualizations about Internet Phishing Trends
(IEEE, 2016-06)We designed an information visualization about phishing trends and phishing prevention for the general public to examine the effects of interactivity on information finding, user perceptions and security behaviour intentions, ... -
Geometrical Frustration and Static Correlations in a Simple Glass Former
(American Physical Society, 2012-01-18)We study the geometrical frustration scenario of glass formation for simple hard-sphere models. We find that the dual picture in terms of defects brings little insight and no theoretical simplification for the understanding ... -
Geometrical frustration and static correlations in hard-sphere glass formers
(American Institute of Physics, 2013-03-28)We analytically and numerically characterize the structure of hard-sphere fluids in order to review various geometrical frustration scenarios of the glass transition. We find generalized polytetrahedral order to be correlated ... -
Geophysical response to simulated methane migration in groundwater based on a controlled injection experiment in a sandy unconfined aquifer
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Geophysical methods have the capacity to detect and characterize gas-phase dynamics in groundwater. Suitable methods can be deployed at surface or within boreholes depending on the required depth of investigation, ... -
The Geoweb for community-based organizations: Tool development, implementation, and sustainability in an era of Google Maps
(Community Informatics Journal, 2017-03-22)Recent advances in web-based geospatial tools (the Geoweb) show promise as low-cost and easy-to-use methods to support citizen participation. This research presents two case studies of Geoweb implementation set in ... -
Geriatric Medicine Leadership of Health Care Transformation: To Be or Not To Be?
(Canadian Geriatrics Society, 2013-12-03)Geriatric Medicine is well-suited to inform and lead healthcare system redesign to address the needs of seniors with complex conditions. We posit that geriatricians must urgently consider how to “brand” Geriatric Medicine ... -
Getting Started with Topic Modeling and MALLET
(The Editorial Board of the Programming Historian, 2012-09-02)In this lesson you will first learn what topic modeling is and why you might want to employ it in your research. You will then learn how to install and work with the MALLET natural language processing toolkit to do so. ... -
Gibbs Energy Dynamic Yield Method (GEDYM): Predicting microbial growth yields under energy-limiting conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)Biomass-explicit biogeochemical models assign microbial growth yields (Y) using values measured in the laboratory or predicted using thermodynamics-based methods. However, Y values are rarely measured under the low energy ... -
Gini-type measures of risk and variability: Gini shortfall, capital allocations, and heavy-tailed risks
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)We introduce and explore Gini-type measures of risk and variability, and develop the corresponding economic capital allocation rules. The new measures are coherent, additive for co-monotonic risks, convenient computationally, ... -
Glassy States in Asymmetric Mixtures of Soft and Hard Colloids
(APS Physics, 2013-11-14)By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ... -
Glazing System U-Value Measurement Using a Guarded Heater Plate Apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1988)Precise heat transfer measurements have been carried out during the last 20 years using a guarded heater plate apparatus. This apparatus has been adapted and used over the last several years to perform U-value measurements ... -
Global Health from the Margins: contemplations from students engaging in interdisciplinary research
(journals.mcmaster.ca, 2018-04)Climate change, poverty, environmental degradation, and deepening inequality – the future before us offers no end of wicked problems and human health is deeply implicated in them all. This is not the first time we have ... -
Global Land Use Implications of Dietary Trends
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -

Global motion perception is associated with motor function in 2-year-old children
(Elsevier, 2017-09-29)The dorsal visual processing stream that includes V1, motion sensitive area V5 and the posterior parietal lobe, supports visually guided motor function. Two recent studies have reported associations between global motion ... -
Global ocean redox changes before and during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
(Springer Nature, 2023-02-13)Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events are recognized as widespread deposits of marine organic-rich mudrocks temporally associated with mass extinctions and large igneous province emplacement. The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event is ...
