(2019-01-08)An innovative e-participation tool is used to facilitate the articulation of value-laden assumptions, and to identify key points of likely conflict in an aggregate mining controversy in Ontario, Canada. The expert model ... -
If we Build it, Will they Come?: Considerations for the Creation and Maintenance of Local Learning Object Repositories
(University of Waterloo Library, 2023-03-30)Over the past few years, libraries and institutions of higher education have created a significant quantity of digital learning content. From this wealth of instructional materials has come the need to consider the sustainable ... -
The illness-death model for family studies
(Oxford University Press, 2021-07)Family studies involve the selection of affected individuals from a disease registry who provide right-truncated ages of disease onset. Coarsened disease histories are then obtained from consenting family members, either ... -
Illusionary Order: Online Databases, Optical Character Recognition, and Canadian History, 1997–2010
(University of Toronto Press, 2013-12)It all seems so orderly and comprehensive. Instead of firing up the microfilm reader to navigate the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star, one needs only to log into online newspaper databases. A keyword search, for a ... -
Illustrating a new 'conceptual design pattern' for agent-based models of land use via five case studies—the MR POTATOHEAD framework
(Universidad de Valladolid, 2008)This chapter presents a "conceptual design pattern" (CDP) that represents key elements of standard ABM/LUCC models in a comprehensive logical framework and includes basic functionality and data often present in ABM/LUCC ... -
Image-based spatio-temporal model of drug delivery in a heterogeneous vasculature of a solid tumor — Computational approach
(Elsevier, 2019-05)The solute transport distribution in a tumor is an important criterion in the evaluation of the cancer treatment efficacy. The fraction of killed cells after each treatment can quantify the therapeutic effect and plays as ... -
Imagery Rescripting of Painful Memories in Social Anxiety Disorder: A Qualitative Analysis of Needs Fulfillment and Memory Updating
(Springer, 2020-09-19)Background Imagery rescripting (IR) is an effective intervention for social anxiety disorder (SAD) that targets autobiographical memories of painful past events. IR is thought to promote needs fulfillment and memory ... -
Immobilization of DNA on Magnetic Microparticles for Mercury Enrichment and Detection with Flow Cytometry
(Wiley, 2011-04-26)Mercury detection in water has attracted a lot of research interest due to its highly toxic nature and adverse environmental impact. In particular, the recent discovery of specific binding of HgII to thymine-rich (T-rich) ... -
Immunogenicity and antitumor activity of the superlytic λF7 phage nanoparticles displaying a HER2/neu-derived peptide AE37 in a tumor model of BALB/c mice
(Elsevier, 2018-06-28)Phage display technique has been increasingly researched for vaccine design and delivery strategies in recent years. In this study, the AE37 (Ii-Key/HER-2/neu 776–790) peptide derived from HER2 (human epidermal growth ... -
The Impact Of Aggregating Serogroups In Dynamic Models Of Neisseria Meningitidis Transmission
(BioMed Central, 2015-07-30)Background: Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is a pathogen of multiple serogroups that is highly prevalent in many populations. Serogroups associated with invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Canada, for example, include A, ... -
The impact of compressive force magnitude on the in vitro neutral zone range and passive stiffness during a flexion–extension range of motion test
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-02-23)The objective of this work was to examine the influence of compressive force magnitude on a functional spinal unit’s (FSU) flexion–extension neutral zone measured during pure moment (PM) tests. Each porcine cervical FSU ... -
Impact of contact lens wear on epithelial alterations in keratoconus
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Purpose The purpose of this study was to characterize the central epithelial thickness (CET) of penetrating keratoplasty corneal specimens obtained from patients with keratoconus (KC) and correlate the histological patterns ... -
Impact of dissolved oxygen during UV-irradiation on the chemical composition and function of CHO cell culture media
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03-14)Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is advantageous as a sterilization technique in the biopharmaceutical industry since it is capable of targeting non-enveloped viruses that are typically challenging to destroy, as well as smaller ... -
The Impact of Goal Progress Velocity on Affect While Pursuing Multiple Sequential Goals
(American Psychological Association, 2020)Past research has identified velocity (i.e., rate of goal progress) as a determinant of individuals’ affective experiences during goal pursuit. Specifically, rapid progress is a pleasant experience, whereas slow progress ... -
The impact of government subsidy on supply chains’ sustainability innovation
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)Motivated by recently observed industry and government practices, in this paper we endogenize government subsidy in a research joint venture (RJV). In particular, we present a three-player game in which a government ... -
