Acoustic and elastic least-squares two-way wave equation migration with exact adjoint operator
DownloadSpring 2017
A major problem in exploration seismology entails estimating subsurface structures and properties via linearized inversion. The problem is often called ''least-squares migration" where seismic imaging is posed as an iterative least-squares problem. The iterative solution employs the method of...

Association between the -455T>C promoter polymorphism of the APOC3 gene and the metabolic syndrome in a multi-ethnic sample
Download2007-12-20
Pollex, Rebecca L., Ban, Matthew R., Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Anand, Sonia S., Yusuf, Salim, Zinman, Bernard, Harris, Stewart B., Hanley, Anthony J. G., Connelly, Philip W., Huff, Murray W., Hegele, Robert A.
"Background: Common polymorphisms in the promoter of the APOC3 gene have been associated with hypertriglyceridemia and may impact on phenotypic expression of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The rs7566605 marker, located near the INSIG2 gene, has been found to be associated with obesity, making it...

Backcountry Travel Emergencies in Arctic Canada: A Pilot Study in Public Health Surveillance
Download2016-03-03
Young, Stephanie K., Tabish, Taha B., Pollock, Nathaniel J., Young, T. Kue
"Residents in the Canadian Arctic regularly travel in remote, backcountry areas. This can pose risks for injuries and death, and create challenges for emergency responders and health systems. We aimed to describe the extent and characteristics of media-reported backcountry travel emergencies in...
