Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels were “painted” on the Au electrode of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Another Au layer (overlayer) was subsequently deposited on the microgel layer. This structure is known as a microgel-based etalon. These devices have...

This paper explores microstructural and mechanical variability in porous ceramics, combining advanced X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques to characterize an alumina material. The results show low variability in microstructure, with median pore size...

In this work, the authors study the thermo-mechanical response of a dilatant polymeric foam in quasistatic tension and compression, focusing on the links between microstructure, mechanical response, and associated temperature rises in these materials. The authors study these links for a...

Partially-observed microstructure models, containing stochastic volatility, dynamic trading noise and short term inertia, are introduced to address the following questions: (1) Do the observed prices exhibit statistically signicant inertia? (2) Is stochastic volatility (SV) still evident in the...

Despite the links between health human resources policy, immigration policy, and education policy, silos persist in the policy making process that complicate the professional integration of internationally educated nurses in Canada. Drawing on the literature on nurse migration to Canada through...

Predicting and optimizing performance in earthmoving operations is critical, because they are essential to many construction projects. The complexity of modeling earthmoving operations remains challenging, even with several modeling techniques available, including simulation. This paper advances...

In Canada’s Northwest Territories, goods are delivered to remote communities and natural resource extraction sites by inland barge, trucks, and for some goods, air. Combinations of all-weather and winter roads are used in the winter months, while river barge transport and all-weather roads are...

Trade-offs between dispersal and reproduction are known to be important drivers of population dynamics, but their direct influence on the spreading speed of a population is not well understood. Using integrodifference equations, we develop a model that incorporates a dispersal–reproduction...

Animals must balance a series of costs and benefits while trying to maximize their fitness. For example, an individual may need to choose how much energy to allocate to reproduction versus growth, or how much time to spend on vigilance versus foraging. Their decisions depend on complex...
