Design and introduction of a quality of life assessment and practice support system: perspectives from palliative care settings
Download2018-01-01
Sawatzky, Richard, Laforest, Esther, Schick-Makaroff, Kara, Stajduhar, Kelli, Reimer-Kirkham, Sheryl, Krawczyk, Marian, Öhlén, Joakim, McLeod, Barbara, Hilliard, Neil, Tayler, Carolyn, Cohen, S. Robin
Background: Quality of life (QOL) assessment instruments, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), are increasingly promoted as a means of enabling clinicians to enhance person-centered care. However, integration of these instruments...

Design and performance evaluation of vertical shafts: rational shaft design method and verification of design method
Download1988
Ground deformations around axisymmetric shafts cannot be determined with the design approaches currently available, which are mostly based on plasticity methods. The convergence–confinement method (usually applied to tunnels), with consideration of gravitational effects and the three-dimensional...

Design and processing conditions of hypoeutectic Al-Cu-Sc alloys for maximum benefit of scandium
Download2017-01-01
Bogno, A.-A., Henein, H., Gallerneault, M.
Addition of Sc to Al-Cu is reported to be responsible for a high precipitation hardening upon heat treatment and serves as a good grain refiner. However, Scandium is presently very expensive, therefore, getting maximum benefit from a minimum addition would be economically of value. This work...

Design and synthesis of arylthiophene-2-Carbaldehydes via suzuki-miyaura reactions and their biological evaluation
Download2013
Riaz, Muhammad, Zubair, Muhammad, Ali, Shaukat, Rasool, Nasir, Ullah, Aman, Nasim, Faiz-ul-Hassan, Rashid, Umer, Yaqoob, Asma
A series of various novel 4-arylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde compounds were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with different arylboronic pinacol esters/acids. The synthesized products were screened for their antibacterial, haemolytic, antiurease, and nitric...

Design of micro- and macro-scale polymeric metamaterial solutions for passive and active thermal camouflaging applications
Download2023-04-01
Pisavadia, Harshil, Asad, Asad, Sameoto, Dan, Dolez, Patricia, Hogan, James D.
This work utilizes predictive modeling techniques to guide and inform metamaterial design for heat management solutions and thermal radiation control. Specifically, micro- and macro-scale polyethylene-based solutions are proposed for passive and active thermal camouflage. A micro-scale post...

Desmier, R., Macdonald, B. C. T., Melville, M. D., Waite, T. D.
The surface waters in regions with acid sulfate soils (ASS) can contain high concentrations of acidity and dissolved metals. These soils cause problems for agriculture, construction and development. The water can be neutralised through many techniques, however a technique that is low in...

In the wake of major earthquakes public open spaces become hubs for both short-term disaster response efforts and support longer-term recovery needs. At present, few open spaces are actually designed to support these intermittent but critical uses. Currently, there is no consolidated body of...
