(2013-08-01)Understanding the impacts of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) on aquatic ecosystems is an important issue in aquatic toxicology. Many PPCPs have been shown to cause effects on aquatic biota within detected ... -
Effects of ibuprofen on Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following acute and chronic waterborne exposures
(2011-08-01)Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are a growing concern in the aquatic environment. Compounds from the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly detected in surface waters and have the potential ... -
The effects of labeling and stereotype threat on offender reintegration
(2011-05-01)After their release from prison, offenders are faced with many hardships that hinder their reintegration efforts. Often, offenders are stereotyped and face community exclusion due to their criminal record. Much of the ... -
The effects of money laundering on the Canadian real estate market
(2021-04-01)White collar criminals benefit from their status and positions. Further, they invest the proceeds of crime into the Canadian real estate market, driving up the price of home ownership for working-class Canadians. This ... -
The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ... -
Effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the freshwater gastropod (Planorbella pilsbryi) in the laboratory and in situ integrating a multi-omic approach
(2023-09-01)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are globally used in consumer and industrial applications. Specifically, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been under scrutiny due to its ... -
Effects of physical activity and exercise on physical and mental health outcomes in female older adults with arthritis
(2017-01-01)Background: Arthritis is a chronic, degenerative disease, which affects two million older Canadians, of which the majority are older females (65+ years). With no cure, methods to improve arthritic symptoms are essential ... -
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ... -
The effects of rapport building on information disclosure in virtual interviews
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-06-01)Rapport-building has been identified as an effective tool when interviewing victims and witnesses of events that may be sensitive in nature. The objective of this study was to examine the rapport-building process within a ... -
