Online competency-based resident assessment for the discipline of anesthesiology: a needs assessment
(2019)
In Canada, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) are
implementing a model of competency-based medical education (CBME) for all specialty-training
programs called Competence by Design (CBD). ...
Barren-ground caribou - a cyclic species: The development of a cycle-stratified harvest model and a cycle analysis of North American barren-ground caribou subpopulations
(2019)
Unlike all other members of the deer family, subpopulations of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) exhibit fluctuations in numbers that have been described as cyclic. We created a cyclic individual-based ...
The influence of water table fluctuation on hydrarch succession in two subarctic peatlands in Eastern James Bay, Quebec
(2019)
Northern peatlands contain close to one-third of the world’s soil carbon and changes to their ecology and hydrology play a major role in the fate of these carbon stocks and the direction of their climate feedbacks. Recent ...
Evaluating consumer grade UAVs and their potential applications and implications in Ontario consulting archaeology
(2019)
Archaeological investigation is an inherently destructive process that threatens permanent
data loss if archaeological sites are inadequately recorded. While archaeologists strive to develop
innovative methods to ensure ...
Investigation and optimization of group III-N semiconductor thin-film growths using DC nitrogen plasma
(2019)
The Lakehead University remote plasma-enhanced metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (RPE-MOCVD) reactor utilizes nitrogen plasma to provide the required nitrogen species in group III-N semiconductor material growth. ...
From social media to expert reports: automatically validating and extending complex conceptual models using machine learning approaches
(2019)
Given the importance of developing accurate models of any complex system, the modeling
process often seeks to be comprehensive by including experts and community members.
While many qualitative modeling processes can ...
Catastrophe theory, symmetry breaking and the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect
(2019)
This research focuses on the structural symmetry breaking observed in hypovalent
silicon containing compounds. The structural symmetry breaking was studied from the
perspective of the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect (pJTE). A ...
Movement, resource use, and life history strategies of Black Bay Walley (Sander vitreus)
(2019)
Resource distribution across the landscape can drive movement strategy selection, from sedentary to highly mobile individuals. When paired with other forms of analysis, movement ecology can provide insight into the resource ...
Effects of KNO3 and NaH2PO4 on lipid synthesis and CaCO3 accumulation in pleurochrysis carterae and newly identified algal shell coccolith structure
(2019)
Due to the limited energy reserves and the increasing demand for energy, a large number of greenhouse gases such as CO2 have been released to the air. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new sources of energy and ...
Pathogen-host omics analyses of human papillomavirus type 16 sub-lineages in a human epithelial organoid model
(2019)
Pathogens such as human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have co-evolved with their hosts and form a molecular basis for common diseases. Persistent infection with the “high-risk” HPV type 16 (HPV16) is a potent cause of anogenital ...
