Assessing health care in Canada’s North: what can we learn from national and regional surveys?
Download2015-07-24
Young, T. Kue, Ng, Carmina, Chatwood, Susan
"Background: Health surveys are a rich source of information on a variety of health issues, including health care. Objectives: This article compares various national and regional surveys in terms of their geographical coverage with respect to the Canadian North, especially their Aboriginal...

Assessment of pre-pregnancy dietary intake with a food frequency questionnaire in Alberta women
Download2015
Berglund, Casey, Ramage, Stephanie M., Harber, Vicki, McCargar, Linda J., Bell, Rhonda C.
Purpose: Pre-pregnancy is an under-examined and potentially important time to optimize dietary intake to support fetal growth and development as well as maternal health. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which dietary intake reported by non-pregnant women is similar to...

The use of natural dyes in the textile industry is certainly nothing new. Natural dyes have been used for centuries as a way to color fabric. In fact, indigo—one of the best known natural dyes—was used in a piece of clothing dating all the way back to 2500 BC. The invention of synthetic dyes in...

Automatic postural responses following rapid displacement of a light touch contact during standing.
Download2015-01-01
Misiaszek, John E.; Forero, Juan; Hiob, Elizabeth; Urbanczyk, Theresa
Responses elicited by the rapid displacement of a light touch contact surface were investigated during standing with the eyes closed. During quiet standing the touch surface was moved with an imperceptible slow (0.5 Hz), small (0.5 cm) oscillation to entrain the participant’s sway. Periodically,...

Avian Cognition: Examples of Sophisticated Capabilities in Space and Song
2015-01-01
Neil McMillan, Allison H. Hahn, Marcia L. Spetch, Christopher B. Sturdy
Though birds have traditionally and colloquially been considered less cognitively complex than mammals, and especially primates, more recent research has consistently refuted these assumptions. We argue that the impressive abilities of birds to navigate and communicate require considerable...

Bilateral Teleoperation System Stability with Non-passive and Strictly-Passive Operator or Environment
Download2015-01-01
A bilateral teleoperation system comprises a human operator, a teleoperator, and an environment. Without exact models for the teleoperator’s terminations (i.e., human operator and the environment), it is typically assumed that they are passive but otherwise arbitrary. Based on this assumption,...

Body composition indexes of a load-capacity model: Gender- and BMI-specific reference curves
Download2015
Broyles, Stephanie, Heymsfield, Steven B., Prado, Carla M., Katzmarzyk, Peter T., Wells, Jonathan C. K., Mire, Emily, Siervo, Mario
Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model...

Although a number of cytoskeletal derangements have been described in the setting of traumatic axonal injury (TAI), little is known of early structural changes that may serve to initiate a cascade of further axonal degeneration. Recent work by the authors has examined conformational changes in...
