While many scholars have argued that media deregulation has a deleterious effect on democracy, all have done so in a way that assumes the truth of a particular normative theory of democracy. This thesis instead describes the minimal requirements for a democratic public sphere and compares...

Nitrogen isotope fractionations among gaseous and aqueous NH4+, NH3, N2, and metal-ammine complexes: Theoretical calculations and applications
Download2021-02-15
Li, Long, He, Yuyang, Zhang, Zhe, Liu, Yun
Ammonium (NH4+), ammonia (NH3) and N2 are key nitrogen species in geological nitrogen recycling. NH3 has also been proposed to play an important role in mobilizing base metals in the form of metal-ammine complexes in hydrothermal fluids. The nitrogen isotope fractionation factors among these...

Oil Sands Research and Information Network
Within the next decade we are likely to see some significant tests of the current oil sands regulatory and policy framework, including: • Industry-driven: such as an application for reclamation certificate or an application for release of process-affected water or a request to approve the...

Serpe, Michael J., Islam, Molla R.
In this submission we fabricated a humidity-responsive polymer-based actuator by layering negatively charged poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid microgels and positively charged poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) on top of a flexible plastic substrate. We show that the extent of the...

Proteome differences associated with fat accumulation in bovine subcutaneous adipose tissues
Download2010
Basu, U., Guan, L., Dodson, M. V., Zhao, Y. M., Basarab, J. A.
Background The fat components of red meat products have been of interest to researchers due to the health aspects of excess fat consumption by humans. We hypothesized that differences in protein expression have an impact on adipose tissue formation during beef cattle development and growth....

Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Respiration, Acid/Base, Ammonia and Ionoregulatory Strategies in the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii)
DownloadFall 2016
Hagfish feed on putrefied carrion, which poses several environmental challenges to the scavenger including hypoxia (Low PO2), hypercapnia (high PCO2) and high environmental ammonia (HEA). To any other organism, these conditions would be physiologically challenging; however, hagfish seem to have...

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: In this proposed research, I provide new economic insights on the trade-offs between efficiency gains and potential social costs in two concrete cases of technological development and new regulation: central bank digital currency (CBDC) and position limits. While these are...

Simulated impacts of relative climate change and river discharge regulation on sea ice and oceanographic conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex
Download2021-01-01
Lukovich, Jennifer V., Jafarikhasragh, Shabnam, Myers, Paul G., Ridenour, Natasha A., de la Guardia, Laura Castro, Hu, Xianmin, Grivault, Nathan, Marson, Juliana, Pennelly, Clark, Stroeve, Julienne C., Sydor, Kevin, Wong, Karen, Stadnyk, T. A., Barber, D. G.
In this analysis, we examine relative contributions from climate change and river discharge regulation to changes in marine conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex using a subset of five atmospheric forcing scenarios from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), river discharge...
