The appropriateness of using a counter app in experimental studies assessing unwanted intrusive thoughts
(Elsevier, 2020-07)The reliable and valid assessment of unwanted intrusive thoughts (UITs) is crucial. The main aim of the current research was to investigate if individuals who used a counter app (a program on a mobile device that is used ... -
Approximately Coloring Graphs Without Long Induced Paths
(Springer Nature, 2019)It is an open problem whether the 3-coloring problem can be solved in polynomial time in the class of graphs that do not contain an induced path on t vertices, for fixed t. We propose an algorithm that, given a 3-colorable ... -
Aptamer-based biosensors for biomedical diagnostics
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06-07)Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that selectively bind to target molecules. Most aptamers are obtained through a combinatorial biology technique called SELEX. Since aptamers can be isolated to bind to almost any ... -
Aptamer-Functionalized Hydrogel Microparticles for Fast Visual Detection of Mercury(II) and Adenosine
(American Chemical Society, 2012-04-25)With a low optical background, high loading capacity, and good biocompatibility, hydrogels are ideal materials for immobilization of biopolymers to develop optical biosensors. We recently immobilized mercury and lead binding ... -
Aqueous intercalation-type electrode materials for grid-level energy storage: Beyond the limits of lithium and sodium
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Intermittent, fluctuational, and unpredictable features of renewable energy require grid-level energy storage (GES). Among various types of GES, aqueous electrochemical storage is undoubtedly the most promising method due ... -
Arborescent Poly(L-glutamic acid)s as Standards to Study the Dense Interior of Polypeptide Mesoglobules by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(American Chemical Society, 2018-10-01)A series of arborescent poly(l-glutamic acid)s of generations 0 to 3 (PGA(GY) with Y = 0–3) were randomly labeled with 1-pyrenemethylamine to yield several Py-PGA(GY) constructs with pyrene contents ranging between 2.5 and ... -
Are high lags of accommodation in myopic children due to motor deficits?
(Elsevier, 2017-01)Children with a progressing myopia exhibit an abnormal pattern of high accommodative lags coupled with high accommodative convergence (AC/A) and high accommodative adaptation. This is not predicted by the current models ... -
Are you as important as me? Self-other discrimination within trait-adjective processing
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)Healthy adults typically display enhanced processing for self- (relative to other-) relevant and positive (relative to negative) information. However, it is unclear whether these two biases interact to form a self-positivity ... -
Argument and Identity Change in the Atlantic Security Community
(Sage, 2009-02-01)The Atlantic community shares more than just dependable expectations of peaceful change. Its members also share a reflexive political community they sense is worth preserving and a view that their security is intertwined. ... -
Arm posture influences on regional supraspinatus and infraspinatus activation in isometric arm elevation efforts
(Elsevier, 2019-02)This study aimed to evaluate the effect of arm posture on activation of the anterior and posterior regions of supraspinatus and the superior and middle regions of infraspinatus during resisted isometric arm elevations. ... -
Armitage Lecture 2011: The Design and Analysis of Life History Studies
(Wiley, 2013)Life history studies collect information on events and other outcomes during people’s lifetimes. For example, these may be related to childhood development, education, fertility, health, or employment. Such longitudinal ... -
Around the closure of the set of commutators of idempotents in B(H): Biquasitriangularity and factorisation
(Elsevier, 2023-04-15)In this paper, we continue our study of the norm-closure of the set CEof bounded linear operators acting on a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space Hwhich may be expressed as the commutator of two idempotent ... -
Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles with Gaps and Overhangs in Linker DNA
(American Chemical Society, 2011-04-28)DNA-directed assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been extensively studied because of its important applications in analytical chemistry, materials science, and nanomedicine. In a typical system, two DNA-functionalized ... -
Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Nanoparticles in Alcoholic Solvents Reveals Opposite Thermodynamic and Kinetic Trends for DNA Hybridization
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-12)DNA has been a key molecule in biotechnology and nanotechnology. To date, the majority of the experiments involving DNA have been performed in aqueous solutions, which may be related to the perception that DNA hybridization ... -
Assessing a binary measurement system: A new plan using targeted verification with conditional sampling and baseline information
(Elsevier, 2019-11)We investigate efficient plans to assess the misclassification error rates of a binary measurement system used as an in-line inspection protocol. We assume that parts can be inspected repeatedly and that each part has its ... -
Assessing Dietary Outcomes in Intervention Studies: Pitfalls, Strategies, and Research Needs
(MDPI, 2018-07-31)To inform strategies to improve the dietary intakes of populations, robust evaluations of interventions are required. This paper is drawn from a workshop held at the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical ... -
Assessing Physicochemical Properties of Drug Molecules via Microsolvation Measurements with Differential Mobility Spectrometry
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02-22)The microsolvated state of a molecule, represented by its interactions with only a small number of solvent molecules, can play a key role in determining the observable bulk properties of the molecule. This is especially ... -
Assessing strain fields in unbalanced unidirectional non-crimp fabrics
(Elsevier, 2020-03)Automation of fabric preforming for resin transfer moulded composite parts motivates the need to characterize the response of dry fabric, which is required for the development of simulation models to predict potential ... -
Assessing the accuracy of predictive models with interval-censored data
(Oxford University Press, 2022-01)We develop methods for assessing the predictive accuracy of a given event time model when the validation sample is comprised of case K interval-censored data. An imputation-based, an inverse probability weighted (IPW), and ... -
Assessing the Use of Government Open Data and the Role of Data Infomediaries The Case of Nova Scotia’s Community Counts Program
(Center for E-Government, 2016)This study examines the Nova Scotia Community Counts program, a common platform that aggregates data from many sources mirroring what is generally considered as government open data. The role of Community Counts as a data ...
