The impact of price and nutrition labelling on sugary drink purchases: Results from an experimental marketplace study
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)To examine the effect of front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling and sugary drink taxation on consumer beverage purchases. A total of 675 respondents aged 16 years and older participated in an experimental marketplace ... -
Impact of sex and pathophysiology on optimal drug choice in hypertensive rats: Quantitative insights for precision medicine
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Less than half of all hypertensive patients receiving treatment are successful in normalizing their blood pressure. Despite the complexity and heterogeneity of hypertension, the current antihypertensive guidelines are not ... -
The Impact of Small Time Delays on the Onset of Oscillations and Synchrony in Brain Networks
(Frontiers Publishing, 2021-07)The human brain constitutes one of the most advanced networks produced by nature, consisting of billions of neurons communicating with each other. However, this communication is not in real-time, with different communication ... -
Impact of winter roads on boreal peatland carbon exchange
(Wiley, 2018-01)Across Canada’s boreal forest, linear disturbances, including cutlines such as seismic lines and roads, crisscross the landscape to facilitate resource exploration and extraction; many of these linear disturbances cross ... -
Impact, Attention, Influence? Potential Use Of Altmetrics In Academic Libraries
(2016-01-28)As the NISO Alternative Assessment Metrics (Altmetrics) Initiative develops standards surrounding altmetrics, it is necessary to consider the relevance of altmetrics to the research community, including academic libraries. ... -
Impacts Of Constrained Culling And Vaccination On Control Of Foot And Mouth Disease In Near-Endemic Settings: A Pair Approximation Model
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)Many countries have eliminated foot and mouth disease (FMD), but outbreaks remain common in other countries. Rapid development of international trade in animals and animal products has increased the risk of disease ... -
Impacts of Low Temperature on the Teleost Immune System
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-11-22)As poikilothermic vertebrates, fish can experience changes in water temperature, and hence body temperature, as a result of seasonal changes, migration, or efflux of large quantities of effluent into a body of water. ... -
The Impacts Of Simultaneous Disease Intervention Decisions On Epidemic Outcomes
(Elsevier, 2016-04-21)Mathematical models of the interplay between disease dynamics and human behavioural dynamics can improve our understanding of how diseases spread when individuals adapt their behaviour in response to an epidemic. Accounting ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent on energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The objective of this study was to assess the effects of municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent on the energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum). Male and female rainbow darter were ... -
Impacts on Metabolism and Gill Physiology of Darter Species (Etheostoma spp.) That Are Attributed to Wastewater Effluent in the Grand River
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-11-25)The effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a major point source of contamination in Canadian waterways. The improvement of effluent quality to reduce contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care ... -
Implant delivering hydroxychloroquine attenuates vaginal T lymphocyte activation and inflammation
(Elsevier, 2018-05-10)Evidence suggests that women who are naturally resistant to HIV infection exhibit low baseline immune activation at the female genital tract (FGT). This “immune quiescent” state is associated with lower expression of T-cell ... -
Implications of inherent inhomogeneities in thin carbon fiber-based gas diffusion layers: A comparative modeling study
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Thin porous media are present in multiple electrochemical energy devices, where they provide key transport and structural functions. The prototypical example is gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells ... -
Implications of irradiance exposure and non-photochemical quenching for multi-wavelength (bbe FluoroProbe) fluorometry
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Multi-wavelength fluorometers, such as the bbe FluoroProbe (FP), measure excitation spectra of chlorophyll a (Chl-a) fluorescence to infer the abundance and composition of phytoplankton communities as well as the concentration ... -
Implicit Theories of Attraction
(Guilford Press, 2015-08-01)Sexual satisfaction is an important component of relationship well-being within romantic relationships. Yet, relatively little is known about the psychological factors that predict responses to the inevitable sexual ... -
Importance of asymmetry and anisotropy in predicting cortical bone response and fracture using human body model femur in three-point bending and axial rotation
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Modeling of cortical bone response and failure is critical for the prediction of Crash Induced Injuries (CII) using advanced finite element (FE) Human Body Models (HBM). Although cortical bone is anisotropic and asymmetric ... -
Importance of regional variation in conservation planning: a rangewide example of the Greater Sage‐Grouse
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-10-13)Abstract We developed rangewide population and habitat models for Greater Sage?Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) that account for regional variation in habitat selection and relative densities of birds for use in conservation ... -
Importance of the Cervical Capsular Joint Cartilage Geometry on Head and Facet Joint Kinematics Assessed in a Finite Element Neck Model.
(Elsevier, 2021-06-23)Finite element human neck models (NMs) aim to predict neck response and injury at the tissue level; however, contemporary models are most often assessed using global response such as head kinematics. Additionally, many NM ... -
Importance Sampling and Stratification for Copula Models
(Springer, 2018)An importance sampling approach for sampling from copula models is introduced. The proposed algorithm improves Monte Carlo estimators when the functional of interest depends mainly on the behaviour of the underlying random ... -
Impression Cytology of the Lid Wiper Area
(Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016-09-08)Few reports on the cellular anatomy of the lid wiper (LW) area of the inner eyelid exist and only one report makes use of cytological methods. The optimization of a method of collecting, staining and imaging cells from the ... -
