Exploring intralexical meaning: Semantic neighbourhood and transparency effects on the reading of compound words
Download2019-03-26
Katherine R. Matchett, Lori Buchanan
This exploratory archival analysis investigates the relationships probabilistic co-occurrence measures of semantic association and semantic richness have with subjective measures of semantic transparency in English compound words. We also examine their correlations with behavioural measures....

Exploring Phenotypes for Disease Resilience in Pigs Using Complete Blood Count Data From a Natural Disease Challenge Model
Download2020-01-01
Bai, Xuechun, Putz, Austin M., Wang, Zhiquan, Fortin, Frederic, Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Field, Catherine J., Plastow, Graham S., PigGen Canada
Disease resilience is a valuable trait to help manage infectious diseases in livestock. It is anticipated that improved disease resilience will sustainably increase production efficiency, as resilient animals maintain their performance in the face of infection. The objective of this study was to...

Exploring Picea glauca aquaporins in the context of needle water uptake and xylem refilling
Download2014
Conifer needles have been reported to absorb water under certain conditions. Radial water movement across needle tissues is likely influenced by aquaporin (AQP) water channels. Foliar water uptake and AQP localization in Picea glauca needles were studied using physiological and microscopic...

Exploring Surgeons' Perceptions of the Role of Simulation in Surgical Education: A Needs Assessment
9/30/2011
Marcia Clark,1,2 Jonathan White,1,2 Sharla King,2 and Mike Carbonaro2
Background: The last two decades have seen the adoption of simulation-based surgical education in various disciplines. The current study’s goal was to perform a needs assessment using the results to inform future curricular planning and needs of surgeons and learners. Methods: A survey was...

Gargoum, Suliman and El Basyouny, Karim
Road safety is influenced by many factors; these factors include characteristics of the road, climate, traffic and, most importantly, vehicle speeds. Previous research shows that increases in speed are typically associated with an increased collision risk. Moreover, previous studies have also...

Exploring the Dynamics of Directed Studies Courses: Student, Instructor, and Administrator Perspectives
Download2013-12-01
Hvenegaard, Glen T., Link, Anne-Marie L., Moore, Sean E., Wesselius, Janet C.
North American universities are encouraged to increase opportunities for undergraduate research experiences (UREs). To this end, many universities offer directed studies courses (DSCs) which are 1-2 semester long courses involving one-on-one instruction, with a focus on student-led independent...

Exploring the persuasive writing skills of students with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder
Download2014
Johnson, Andrew, Brown, Heather, Smyth, Rachael, Oram-Cardy, Janis
Previous studies of students with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) have shown great variability in their writing abilities. Most previous studies of students with HFASD have combined individuals with linguistic impairments (HF-ALI) and individuals without linguistic impairments...

Expression of cationic amino acid transporters, carcass traits, and performance of growing pigs fed low-protein amino acid-supplemented versus high protein diets
Download2013
Morales, Adriana, García, Hector, Araiza, Alfonso, Cervantes, Miriam, Grageola, Fernando, Zijlstra, Ruurd T.
Free amino acids (AA) appear to be absorbed faster than protein-bound AA (PB-AA). We conducted an experiment to assess the effect of feeding pigs with a partially free (F-AA) or totally PB-AA diet on expression of selected genes and performance of pigs. The expression of cationic AA transporters...
