Developing a Dynamic Model of the Standard Neonatal Patient Transport System using Lagrange’s Equation in the Pitch Plane
Download2022-06-01
Gibb, K., Kehoe, P., Hurley, J., Aubertin, C., Greenwood, K., Ibey, A., Redpath, S., Chan, A.D.C., Green, J.R., Langlois, R.G.
During transport to critical care centres, neonatal patients can be exposed to elevated levels of vibration which may pose a risk to the patients’ health. In Ontario, a standardized Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) has been implemented in ground and air ambulances, and studies to...

Developing a genome-wide selection model for genetic improvement of residual feed intake and carcass merit in a beef cattle breeding program
Download2012
Lai, S., Plastow, G., Zeng, Z., Li, X., Ma, J., Tang, G., Moore, S., Wang, Z.
Residual feed intake (RFI) and carcass merit (CM) are both complex traits emerging as critical targets for beef genetic improvement. RFI and CM traits are difficult and expensive to measure and genetic improvement for these traits through traditional selection methods is not very effective....

Developing a living with hope program for caregivers of family members with advanced cancer.
Download2007
Duggleby, Wendy, Holtslander, Lorraine, Williams, Allison, Degner, Lesley, Cammer, Allison, Wright, Karen
A theory-based intervention, the Living with Hope Program (LWHP), was designed to foster hope in caregivers of family members with advanced cancer. The LWHP was developed from qualitative data and using Harding and Higginson's recommendations for family caregiver interventions as a guide. The...

Major, Paul W. , MacLean, Joanna, Altalibi, Mostafa, Major, Michael P., Roduta Roberts, Mary, Saltaji, Humam
Introduction: Sleep disordered breathing in the paediatric population can manifest as an array of different systemic symptoms; among them is a distinct malocclusion and craniofacial phenotype. Emerging research suggests that the treatment of this malocclusion and/or craniofacial phenotype through...

Developing an Initial Program Theory to Explain How Patient-Reported Outcomes Are Used in Health Care Settings: Methodological Process and Lessons Learned
Download2020-01-01
Flynn, Rachel, Schick-Makaroff, Kara, Levay, Adrienne, Greenhalgh, Joanne
A central aspect of any theory-driven realist investigation (synthesis or evaluation) is to develop an initial program theory (IPT). An IPT can be used to frame and understand how, for whom, why, and under what contexts complex interventions work or not. Despite well-established evidence that...

A typical N400 event-related potential (ERP) component occurs when the brain detects a semantic contradiction and can be elicited by the canonical experiment where the final word of a sentence contradicts what a listener is expecting to hear. In the absence of an N400 elicitation paradigm in...

Acidic and metal-rich waters have been discharging from Sullivan Mine, West Coast, New Zealand since the closure of the mine during the early- 1990s. This has resulted in a decrease in pH from a background of 4.5 to 2.8 and an increase in metallic elements in nearby Rapid Stream. In addition to...

This study investigated the extent to which people can develop a global representation of local environments through across-boundary navigation. Participants learned objects’ locations in two misaligned rectangular rooms in an immersive virtual environment. After learning, they adopted a local...
