A longitudinal and cross-sectional examination of the relationship between reasons for choosing a neighbourhood, physical activity and body mass index
Download2010
Berry, T. R., Blanchard, C., Selfridge, G., Spence, J. C., Edwards, J., Cutumisu, N.
Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between body mass index and neighborhood walkability, socioeconomic status (SES), reasons for choosing neighborhoods, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, and demographic variables. Methods: Two studies,...

Acid-base properties of cyanobacterial surfaces I: Influences of growth phase and nitrogen metabolism on cell surface reactivity
Download2008
Konhauser, K.O., Owttrim, G.W., Smith, D.S., Lalonde, S.V.
Significant efforts have been made to elucidate the chemical properties of bacterial surfaces for the purposes of refining surface complexation models that can account for their metal sorptive behavior under diverse conditions. However, the influence of culturing conditions on surface chemical...

An Adminstrative Data Merging Solution For Dealing With Missing Data In A Clinical Registry: Adaptation To ICD-9 to ICD-10
Download2008
Humphries, K., Norris, C.M., Quan, H., Galbraith, P.D., Southern, D.A., Gao, M., Knudtson, M.L., Ghali, W.A., Shrive, F.M.
Background: We have previously described a method for dealing with missing data in a prospective cardiac registry initiative. The method involves merging registry data to corresponding ICD-9-CM administrative data to fill in missing data 'holes'. Here, we describe the process of translating our...

Application of genomics-based tools leading to the identification of markers on bovine chromosome 14 influencing milk production and carcass quality traits
DownloadFall 2009
Genetic improvements in beef and dairy cattle can bring significant advances in satisfying the global food demand, which is expected to double by 2050. Several DNA markers have been identified on bovine chromosome 14 (BTA14), but low mapping resolution prevents their refinement for identification...

Broccoli sprout supplementation during placental insufficiency confers structural and functional neuroprotection to the fetal rat
DownloadSpring 2010
Background: Perinatal ischemic brain injury leads to developmental disability (DD), which accounts for 30% of disabilities in children. Antepartum risk, or risk occurring prior to birth occurs in more than 90% of cases. This study investigated whether maternal ingestion of a natural health...

Longrich, N. R., Currie, P. J., Erickson, G. M., Horner, J. R.
Background: Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest terrestrial carnivores of all time, and consequently its ecology and diet have been the focus of much discussion. However, there is little direct evidence of diet or feeding habits in this species. Methodology/Principal Findings: Examination...

Climbing simulated vegetation to heights of ungulate hosts by larvae of Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae)
Download2000
Samuel, W. M., Shostak, A. W., McPherson, M.
Abstract: Larvae of winter ticks, Dermacentor albipictus (Packard), ascend vegetation in autumn and form clumps that attach to passing ungulate hosts. We tested the hypothesis that vegetation height determines the height of clumps. During the vegetation-to-ungulate transmission period (early...

Wang, Y. F., Baker, Daniel N., Fu, Suiyan, Kletzing, Craig A., Yuan, C. J., Zong, Qui-Gang, Zhou, Xuzhi, Wang, Linghua, Liu, H., Blake, J. Bernard., Rankin, Robert
We present Van Allen Probes observations of modulations in the flux of very energetic electrons up to a few MeV and protons between 1200 and 1400 UT on 19 February 2014. During this event the spacecraft were in the dayside magnetosphere at L⋆≈5.5. The modulations extended across a wide range of...

Cultural Identity and Transnational Networks in a Chinese Diaspora Society in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia
DownloadFall 2012
This research investigates transnational networking and cultural identity in a Chinese diaspora community in Sibu, Sarawak. In particular, I focus on the surge in public expressions of cultural identity among Chinese sub-ethnic groups in this bazaar town since the late 1970s. The activism of...
