A novel control method is proposed for master-slave telerobotic beating-heart surgery to solve the challenges of rapid heart motion and oscillatory haptic feedback. In this paper, the ultrasound imaging-based control algorithms are used to make the slave robot compensate for the heart motion...

Ultraviolet Sensing Using TiO2 Nanotube Integrated High Resolution Planar Microwave Resonator Device
Download2017-12-25
This paper presents a unique integrated UV light sensing concept and introduces a device with a detection limit of 1.96 nW cm−2. The combination of a high quality factor, microwave planar resonator (Q ~ 50,000) with a semiconducting nanomaterial, enables a revolutionary potential paradigm for...

Ultraviolet-ozone treatment reduces levels of disease-associated prion protein and prion infectivity
Download2009
Gilbert, P., Pedersen, J., McKenzie, D., Johnson, C.J., Aiken, J.M.
Background: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by novel infectious agents referred to as prions. Prions appear to be composed primarily, if not exclusively, of a misfolded isoform of the cellular prion protein. TSE infectivity...

Undersowing rutabaga with clover: Impact on Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) and its natural enemies
Download2004
Coady, Juanita R., Larno, David J., Dixon, Peggy L., Spaner, Dean
The cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), is a serious pest of cruciferous crops in temperate regions of North America and Europe. The effects of undersowing rutabaga, Brassica napus L. subsp. rapifera Metzg. (Brassicaceae), with white clover, Trifolium repens L. (Leguminosae), on second-generation...

Sponges are important but often-neglected organisms. The absence of classical animal traits (nerves, digestive tract, and muscles) makes sponges challenging for non-specialists to work with and has delayed getting high quality genomic data compared to other invertebrates. Yet analyses of sponge...

Understanding implementation processes of clinical pathways and clinical practice guidelines in pediatric contexts: A study protocol
Download2011
Nettel-Aguirre, A., Klassen, T.P., Grimshaw, J., Johnson, D., Scott, S.
Background: Canada is among the most prosperous nations in the world, yet the health and wellness outcomes of Canadian children are surprisingly poor. There is some evidence to suggest that these poor health outcomes are partly due to clinical practice variation, which can stem from failure to...

Pleson, E., Nykiforuk, C., Lee, K., Nieuwendyk, L., Chaddah, A., Schopflocher, D.
As the world’s population ages, there is an increasing need for community environments to support physical activity and social connections for older adults. This exploratory study sought to better understand older adults’ usage and perceptions of community green spaces in Taipei, Taiwan, through...

Understanding postprandial inflammation and its relationship to lifestyle behaviour and metabolic diseases
Download2012
Cabezas, Manuel C., Mamo, John C., Proctor, Spencer D., Botham, Kathleen M., Klop, Boudewijn
Postprandial hyperlipidemia with accumulation of remnant lipoproteins is a common metabolic disturbance associated with atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, particularly during chronic disease states such as obesity, the metabolic syndrome and, diabetes. Remnant lipoproteins become attached...

De Vos, G., Epstein, M., Cumming, A., Ban, Duan., Biggs, Harry C., Maciejewski, R., Biggs, David H. M., Etienne, K., Graeme S., Moore, M. N., Schoonapproach, M., Mathevet, C. A., Allen, Natalie C., Cumming, Craig R.
Protected areas (PAs) remain central to the conservation of biodiversity. Classical PAs were conceived as areas that would be set aside to maintain a natural state with minimal human influence. However, global environmental change and growing cross-scale anthropogenic influences mean that PAs can...
