Enzyme-assisted polymer film degradation-enabled biomolecule sensing with poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-based optical devices
Download2018-01-01
Zhang, Wei, Wei, Menglian, Carvalho, Wildemar S. P., Serpe, Michael J.
A biosensor for mouse Immunoglobulin G (IgG) was generated from responsive polymer-based interference filters (etalons). To accomplish this, an excess amount of alkaline phosphatase-modified goat anti-mouse IgG (AP-GAM, F(ab’)2 fragment specific to mouse IgG) was added to mouse IgG, and allowed...

Equitable Transportation and Resilience Hubs: Analysis of Underserved Population Needs, Usage, and Travel Behaviour
Download2023-07-19
Thayanne G. M. Ciriaco, Syeda N. Zehra, Veronica Wambura, Stephen D. Wong
Extreme weather events and other hazardous events often require a range of strategies to safely shelter people, distribute resources, and facilitate recovery efforts. This is particularly important for underserved populations who usually lack reliable access to shelters, transportation, and...

Auger‐Méthé, Marie, Derocher, Andrew E, DeMars, Craig A, Plank, Michael J, Codling, Edward A., Lewis, Mark A, Fryxell, John
Searching allows animals to find food, mates, shelter and other resources essential for survival and reproduction and is thus among the most important activities performed by animals. Theory predicts that animals will use random search strategies in highly variable and unpredictable environments....

Evaluation of machine learning methods for predicting eradication of aquatic invasive species
Download2018-03-27
Yanyu Xiao, Russell Greiner, Mark A. Lewis
In the work, we evaluate the performance of machine learning approaches for predicting successful eradication of aquatic invasive species (AIS) and assess the extent to which eradication of an invasive species depends on the certain specified ecological features of the target ecosystem...

Evaluation of uncertainty in the life cycle assessment of well-to-tank and combustion greenhouse gas emissions of various transportation fuels
Download2016-01-01
Di Lullo, Giovanni, Zhang, Hao, Kumar, Amit
Growing concern over climate change has created pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). There have been multiple well-to-tank + combustion (WTT+C) studies that have examined various crude oils in an attempt to determine their GHG emission intensities....

Evidence for the essentiality of arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid in the postnatal maternal and infant diet for the development of the infant's immune system early in life
Download2016-01-01
Richard, Caroline, Lewis, Erin D., Field, Catherine J.
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), especially the balance between arachidonic (AA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids are known to have important immunomodulatory roles during the postnatal period when the immune system is rapidly developing. AA and DHA are required in infant formula...

Évolution dans l'enseignement de l'oral au primaire en Alberta : une analyse comparative entre l'ancien et le nouveau curriculum de français langue première
Download2023-03-31
Oral communication is generally neglected in the teaching of French in Canada. This situation is partially due to the limited place allotted to the development of oral skills in the Department of Education curricula. The goal of this research project is to compare Alberta’s former French first...

Evolution of sourdough microbiota in spontaneous sourdoughs started with different plant materials
Download2016-01-01
Ripari, Valery, Gänzle, Michael G., Berardi, Enrico
The preparation of sourdough in bakeries may include the use of inocula, e.g. fruits, flowers or rumen cuts to accelerate the process of selection of suitable microorganisms. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of these inocula on the microbial evolution in sourdoughs. First, the...
