Persistent Identifiers in Canada: ORCID Use Cases and a National PID Strategy
(Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community Conference, 2024-06-05)Research generates a huge amount of information across many disconnected systems and technologies. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) act as labels to uniquely identify research information ‘entities,’ like scholars, ... -
Differentiable Curl-Noise: Boundary-Respecting Procedural Incompressible Flows Without Discontinuities
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-05-16)We present Differentiable Curl-Noise, a C1 procedural method to animate strictly incompressible fluid flows in two dimensions. While both the original Curl-Noise method of Bridson et al. [2007] and a recent modification ... -
Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition of Nitrogen-doped Alumina Thin Films for High-Performance Perovskite Solar Cell Encapsulation
(Elsevier, 2024-08)An atmospheric-pressure spatial atomic layer deposition (AP-SALD) system is used to deposit nitrogen-doped alumina (N-AlOx) thin-film-encapsulation layers. The rapid nature of the AP-SALD process facilitates deposition of ... -
Refusing to Smile for the Patriarchy
(International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, 2019)This article considers how season one of Netflix’s Jessica Jones functions as a feminist revenge narrative that situates the titular protagonist as a survivor of patriarchal abuses at the hands of her ex-boyfriend and ... -
Modes of Intersubjective Address in The Central Character (1977) and Our Marilyn (1987)
(University of Toronto Press, 2016-03)Le présent article examine l’emploi des formules de politesse intersubjectives dans le cinéma expérimental féministe canadien entre 1979 et 1987. Il compare The Central Character (1979) de Patricia Gruben et Our Marilyn ... -
"I'm not alone in that battle": Designing Mobile AR for Mental Health Communication and Community Connectedness
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2024-07-01)For researchers at the intersection of health and human computer interaction, mobile AR presents a compelling platform for public health communication: it is increasingly available, highly customizable, and can present ... -
PATHWAYS TO PRECARIOUSNESS: CANADA’S INTENTIONAL FAILURE OF MIGRANT AND UNDOCUMENTED CARE WORKERS
(University of Waterloo, 2024)In this report, we, the research team, are going to consider the policies that come together to create an exploitative and precarious labour conditions for migrant care workers, who are predominantly financially challenged ... -
Transient inhibition of the cerebellum impairs change-detection processes: Cerebellar contributions to sensorimotor integration.
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Patients with cerebellar lesions have shown altered responses to unpredictable stimuli. This finding has led to the belief that the cerebellum is involved in comparing incoming stimuli with previously experienced stimuli ... -
The contribution of the prefrontal cortex to relevancy‑based gating of visual and tactile stimuli.
(Springer, 2019-10)Patients with lesions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) show increased distractibility and impairments in inhibiting cortical responses to irrelevant stimuli. This study was designed to test the role of the PFC in the early ... -
The effect of acute aerobic exercise on the consolidation of motor memories.
(Springer, 2021-08)Acute aerobic exercise performed prior to training may assist with motor skill acquisition through enhancement of motor cortical plasticity. In addition, high intensity exercise performed after training improves retention, ... -
Long-term effects of concussion on relevancy-based modulation of somatosensory-evoked potentials.
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to better understand the effects of concussions on the ability to selectively up or down-regulate incoming somatosensory information based on relevance. Methods: Median ... -
Games of/against Racial Privilege and Marginalization: A Research Synthesis
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-03)Game studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic research that draws insights from across the humanities, social sciences, and arts to bring attention to the issues outlined here. As a Knowledge Synthesis project, ... -
Homogeneous sets in graphs and a chromatic multisymmetric function
(Elsevier, 2024-07)In this paper, we extend the chromatic symmetric function X to a chromatic k-multisymmetric function Xk, defined for graphs equipped with a partition of their vertex set into k parts. We demonstrate that this new function ... -
List-k-Coloring H-Free Graphs for All k > 4
(Springer, 2024-05-14)Given an integer k > 4 and a graph H, we prove that, assuming P =/ NP, the LIST-k-COLORING PROBLEM restricted to H-free graphs can be solved in polynomial time if and only if either every component of H is a path on at ... -
Ecological Economics and Dynamic Games: A Systematic Literature Review
(World Scientific Publishing, 2024)Ecological and environmental economics are inherently dynamic systems requiring dynamic optimization tools. Understanding the interplay between environmental economics, ecological economics, and dynamic games is crucial. ... -
Tree independence number I. (Even hole, diamond, pyramid)-free graphs
(Wiley, 2024-04-24)The tree‐independence number tree‐α, first defined and studied by Dallard, Milanič, and Štorgel, is a variant of treewidth tailored to solving the maximum independent set problem. Over a series of papers, Abrishami et al. ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions VIII: Excluding a Forest in (Theta, Prism)-Free Graphs
(Springer, 2024-04-08)Given a graph H, we prove that every (theta, prism)-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains either a large clique or an induced subgraph isomorphic to H, if and only if H is a forest. -
Build the Volunteer, Build the Community: An Analysis of Sustainable Waterloo Region's Strategic Volunteer Program
(University of Waterloo, 2018)A lack of effective workforce development is a major challenge to the Canadian economy. Despite moderate increases in investment in employee learning since 2012, employer investment in workforce training is substantially ... -
Surface-Only dynamic deformables using a boundary element method
(Wiley, 2022)We propose a novel surface-only method for simulating dynamic deformables without the need for volumetric meshing or volumetric integral evaluations. While based upon a boundary element method (BEM) for linear elastodynamics, ... -
Curl-Flow: Boundary-respecting pointwise incompressible velocity interpolation for grid-based fluids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-12)We propose to augment standard grid-based fluid solvers with pointwise divergence-free velocity interpolation, thereby ensuring exact incompressibility down to the sub-cell level. Our method takes as input a discretely ...
