Use of Guideline-directed Medical Therapy in Patients ≥65 years after the Diagnosis of Heart Failure: A Canadian Population-based Study
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite proven efficacy, GDMT are under-utilized in clinical practice. The current study examines GDMT utilization after incident...

Use of Hematological Parameters to Predict Disease Resilience of Pigs in Commercial Environments
DownloadFall 2018
High health status in nucleus and multiplication farms at the top of swine breeding pyramid is a barrier to genetic selection of disease resilient pigs. This resulted in a gap between the performance measured in the breeding company and the performance observed at the commercial level. At this...

Use of Indices of Biological Integrity (IBIs) to assess wetland health in dry and wet conditions
DownloadSpring 2012
Indices of Biological Integrity (IBIs) estimate the biological condition of an ecosystem by measuring biological metrics that predict underlying environmental stress. I evaluated the use of IBIs developed from 5 biotic communities at 81 semi-permanent/permanent natural and constructed wetlands. ...

Spring 2021
Emulsion flooding and heavy oil recovery by in-situ emulsion formation have been reported to show great potential in enhancing heavy oil recovery. Emulsion stability is the key issue controlling the success of this process; conventionally, surfactants were used to facilitate emulsification and...

Use of Nano-Metal Particles for Promoting Aquathermolysis Reaction during Cyclic Steam Stimulation
DownloadFall 2017
Cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) is one of the commonly used thermal extraction methods for heavy oil and bitumen. However, CSS is still daunted by the lower oil recovery factor compared with other thermal recovery methods, such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Nano-metal particles, due...
