Developing techniques for monitoring forest tent caterpillar populations using synthetic pheromones
Download2003
Abstract: To effectively monitor forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hubner (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), populations using sex pheromone baited traps, we field-tested pheromone dispenser (lure) type, lure age, and trap design using (Z,E)-5,7-dodecadienal:(Z,Z)-5,7-dodecadienal (100:1)....

Development and characterization of low α-linolenic acid Brassica oleracea lines bearing a novel mutation in a ‘class a’ FATTY ACID DESATURASE 3gene
Download2014
Singer, Stacy D., Weselake, Randall J., Rahman, Habibur
Background Traditional canola (Brassica napus L.; AACC, 2n = 38) cultivars yield seed oil with a relatively high proportion of α-linolenic acid (ALA; C18:3cisΔ9,12,15), which is desirable from a health perspective. Unfortunately, due to the instability of this fatty acid, elevated levels also...

Development of a “Changes Toolkit” for Rural Older Palliative Patients and Their Family Caregivers
Download2012
Goodridge, Donna, Duggleby, W., Cooper, Lori J., Williams, A., Taniguichi, A., Leipert, B., Wilson, D., Marshall,D.
A “Changes Toolkit” was developed to help rural older palliative care patients and their caregivers deal with multiple concurrent transitions that cause disruption in their lives. The purpose of this article is to describe the development of the “Changes Toolkit” to support rural palliative...

Development of a checklist to assess the quality of reporting of knowledge translation interventions using the workgroup for intervention development and evaluation research (WIDER) recommendations.
Download2013
Scott, S. D., Archibald, M., Arseneau, D., Albrecht, L.
Background Influenced by an important paper by Michie et al., outlining the rationale and requirements for detailed reporting of behavior change interventions now required by Implementation Science, we created and refined a checklist to operationalize the Workgroup for Intervention Development...

Development of a metabolic calorimeter system to measure heat production of domestic avian embryos during incubation
Download2006
Feddes, John J. R., Segura, J. C., Ouellette, C. A., Zuidhof, Martins J., Fasenko, Gaylene M.
A metabolic calorimeter system was developed to facilitate collection of metabolic data from 24 embryos within an incubator. The system was designed to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2 ), oxygen, and water vapour over a 2.5-minute period every hour from each metabolic chamber during both the...

Development Of A Model-Free Adaptive Steering Control For Autonomous Vehicles Path Tracking Using Cost-Based Gain Adaptation With Integral Action
Download2022-06-01
This paper presents a model-free adaptive steering control algorithm for path tracking of autonomous vehicles. To design steering controllers for autonomous vehicle path tracking, a mathematical model is needed, but it may have high nonlinearity and complexity that increases computation time and...
