(2019)My portfolio is focused on team-based learning (TBL) in the area of health sciences education. My interest in this topic stems from my work in the Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) setting where I work as an instructional ... -
Implication of introducing body checking in ice hockey at different ages
(1997)The main purpose of this research was to compare the rate of body checking injuries between two Provinces that introduce body checking at different ages (age 12 versus 14). Three teams from Ontario (body checking introduced ... -
Implications of alternative herbicide-use policies for forest management in Ontario
(1995)Public sentiment is against herbicide use on public forests in Ontario. Provincial policies are directing research into alternative vegetation management with only limited interaction or support with forest resource based ... -
Implications of the metaboreflex on cerebral blood flow: physiological responses and assessment strategies
(2021)Exercise is responsible for acutely modifying cerebral blood flow (CBF) during an exercise bout, and eliciting chronic increases to resting CBF in trained individuals. Research to date has focussed on the individual ... -
Implications of the themes of the "living" and the "dead" in four decades of Patrick White's novels
(1988)A lifelong search into the very nature of reality and the soul has led Australian Nobel Prize-winner Patrick White to investigate some of the explanations which man has been attempting to provide since time immemorial. The ... -
The importance of container material in stored water quality
(2022)Water is one of the primary resources to sustain human life. The quality of good water and air are important factors to protect human health and the environment. The impact of container material on stored water quality ... -
Impression management and self-deception in problem gambling
(2005)Studies have shown that self-reports of attitudes and behaviour can be biased because of socially desirable responding (Lajunen, Corry, Summala, & Hartley, 1997; Paulhus & Reid, 1991). Recent investigations have supported ... -
Improved anti-melanoma and anti-melanogenic effects of birch bark triterpenes delivered in ethosomes
(2018)North American birch species of the boreal forest contain significant amounts of pentacyclic triterpenes in their outer bark. Betulin (BE) and betulinic acid (BA), pentacyclic triterpenes readily extracted from outer birch ... -
Improved data compression techniques to analyze big data in structural health monitoring
(2018)With growing number of complex and slender structures worldwide, long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) has been intensively pursued to retrofit and control these structures under extreme climatic events. Modern ... -
An improved multi-variate empirical mode decomposition method towards system identification of structures
(2018)Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a key role towards condition assessment of large-scale civil structures using modern sensing technology. Once the rich vibration data is collected, important system information ... -
Improved Sentiment Classification by Multi-model Fusion
(2016)Sentiment Analysis (SA), also Opinion Mining, is a sub-field of Data Mining. It aims at studying and analyzing human’s sentiments, opinions, emotions or attitudes through their written text. Since all sentiment information ... -
