Acid Labile Surfactants Containing Ketal-Linkage in Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography and Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
The combination of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) would yield a very powerful analytical technique. However, hyphenating both techniques is not easy. Sodium 4-[(2-methyl-2-undecyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methoxy]-1-propane...

Axon excitability testing shows increased IH activity in populations of slow versus fast motor axons of the rat
DownloadFall 2013
Despite extensive knowledge of variations in motoneuron (MN) soma and muscle properties across different healthy muscles or motor units, there is comparatively little knowledge about variations in motor axon electrophysiology across different axon groups. Axon excitability testing (AET) is an in...

The pre and post diagnostic phases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) care are inherently uncertain for patients and caregivers. The emotional character of ALS related communications requires that providers have a high degree of skill and tact. Understanding patient and caregiver preferences...

Phillips, Audra, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Studies have shown that the voice onset time (VOT) of alveolo-palatal affricates is the longest, followed by velars, dental/alveolars, and bilabials. In a reciprocal pattern, closure duration is the longest for bilabials, followed by dental/alveolars, and then velars. Longer VOT is also...

Because of ‘arguments from the infinity of language’, compositionality is often seen as a ‘non-negotiable’ feature of any theory of the semantics of natural language. But there are a number of features of ‘ordinary language discourse’ that make it seem that compositionality is not true of natural...

Contributions and challenges of cross-national comparative research in migration, ethnicity and health: insights from a preliminary study of maternal health in Germany, Canada and the UK
Download2011
Friedrich, J., Reime, B., O'Brien, B., Gerrish, K., Bharj, K., Higginbottom, G.M.A., Foster, C., Chowbey, P., Mumtaz, Z., Salway, S.
Background: Public health researchers are increasingly encouraged to establish international collaborations and to undertake cross-national comparative studies. To-date relatively few such studies have addressed migration, ethnicity and health, but their number is growing. While it is clear that...

DETECTING CEREBRAL DEGENERATION IN ALS USING A MULTICENTRE APPLICATION OF 3D TEXTURE ANALYSIS
DownloadFall 2018
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a highly heterogeneous disease in terms of its clinical presentation, progression, and detected pathology in the body. It is a multi-system degenerative disorder, though a diagnosis is made based on the presence of both upper motor neuron (UMN) and lower...

McCarthy, G., Crichton, N.J., Linck, T., Seers, K., Titchen, A., Kitson, A., Edwards, R.T., Wallin, L., Hawkes, C., Estabrooks, C.A., Mockford, C., Cox, K., Harvey, G., Eldh, A.C., McCormack, B., Rycroft-Malone, G.
Background: Research evidence underpins best practice, but is not always used in healthcare. The Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARIHS) framework suggests that the nature of evidence, the context in which it is used, and whether those trying to use evidence are...

Food choices and practices during pregnancy of immigrant and Aboriginal women in Canada: a study protocol
Download2011
Gibbons, D., Vallianatos, H., Mamede, F., Higginbottom, G.M.A., Malhi, R., Forgeron, J.
Background: Facilitating the provision of appropriate health care for immigrant and Aboriginal populations in Canada is critical for maximizing health potential and well-being. Numerous reports describe heightened risks of poor maternal and birth outcomes for immigrant and Aboriginal women. Many...
