An Assessment of Population Structure in Eight Breeds of Cattle Using a Whole Genome SNP Panel
Download2008
Schnabel, R. D., Wang, Z., Taylor, J. F., Gill, C. A., Van Tassell, C. P., Gao, C., Aerts, J., Williams, J. L., Neto, E. D., Murdoch, B. M., Matukumalli, L. K., Coppieters, W., McKay, S. D., Mannenl, H., Crews, D., Moore, S. S.
Background Analyses of population structure and breed diversity have provided insight into the origin and evolution of cattle. Previously, these studies have used a low density of microsatellite markers, however, with the large number of single nucleotide polymorphism markers that are now...

Enterprise Content Management Systems and the Application of Taylorism and Fordism to Intellectual Labour.
Download2010
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Systems confer numerous advantages to corporations including superior data management, streamlining of office workflows and potential costs savings. However, a content analysis of ECM system technical white papers reveals that such systems are potentially...

TRIA-Net: 10 years of collaborative research on turning risk into action for the mountain pine beetle epidemic
Download2019-01-01
James, Patrick M.A., Huber, Dezene P.W.
Forest insects are showing increasing intensity of outbreaks and expanded ranges, and this has become a major challenge for forest managers. An understanding of these systems often depends upon detailed examination of complex interactions involving multiple organisms. In 2013, a team of...

BacMap is an interactive visual database containing fully labeled, zoomable and searchable chromosome maps from more than 170 bacterial (archaebacterial and eubacterial) species. It uses a recently developed visualization tool (CGView) to generate highresolution circular genome maps from sequence...

Facility versus unit level reporting of quality indicators in nursing homes when performance monitoring is the goal.
Download2014
Teare, G. F., Poss, J., Murray, M., Norton, P., Estabrooks, C. A., Cummings, G. G., Doupe, M., Squires, J.
Objectives To demonstrate the benefit of defining operational management units in nursing homes and computing quality indicators on these units as well as on the whole facility. Design Calculation of adjusted Resident Assessment Instrument – Minimum Data Set 2.0 (RAI–MDS 2.0) quality indicators...

In recent years, much effort has been devoted to unravelling the connection between the accretion flow and the jets in accreting compact objects. In the present work, we report new constraints on these issues, through the long-term study of the radio and X-ray behaviour of the black hole...

Allen, D. M., Johnson, T., Allison, W. T., Hallows, T. E., Hawryshyn, C. W.
Abstract: Albino vertebrates exposed to intense light typically lose photoreceptors via apoptosis, and thus serve as useful models of retinal degeneration. In contrast, albino rainbow trout exposed to intense light maintain Populations of rod and cone nuclei despite Substantial damage to rod...

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...

Krkosek, Martin, Orr, Craig, Peacock, Stephanie J., Proboszcz, Stan, Lewis, Mark A.
The resilience of coastal social-ecological systems may depend on adaptive responses to aquaculture disease outbreaks that can threaten wild and farm fish. A nine-year study of parasitic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) and pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from Pacific Canada indicates that...

Research Planning for Global Poverty and Homelessness Policies and Services: A Case Study of a Joint Canadian-South Africa Initiative
Download2012
Kovacs Burns, K., Botha, A.D.H., Richter, S.
Global poverty, homelessness and health-related issues require both international and country-specific research to explore best collaborative approaches, determine relevant global health services and policy research questions, and explore how collaborative partnerships and research can be applied...
