The anti-estrogenic and liver metabolic effects of DHAA in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss)
(2011-08-01)Recent studies have shown that dehydroabietic acid (DHAA), a resin acid present in pulp and paper mills, may have anti-estrogenic effects in fish. A chronic-exposure toxicity experiment using immature rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus ... -
Antipsychotic prescribing as a treatment of dementia in British Columbia: physician-level characteristics associated with receiving potentially inappropriate prescriptions
(2023-04-01)Antipsychotic prescribing has increased. One attribute of this is off-label prescribing of antipsychotics to people with dementia to treat behavioural and psychological symptoms, which is not supported by evidence-informed ... -
The application of experimental microdosimetry to mixed-field neutron-gamma dosimetry
(2012-12-01)Absorbed dose distributions in lineal energy for neutrons and gamma rays were measured by using both a tissue-equivalent walled counter (TEPC) and a graphite-walled low pressure proportional counter (GPC) in the Am-Be ... -
Application of traveling salesman problem in generating a collision-free tool path in drilling
(2021-04-01)In machining, the tool path is generated according to the workpiece geometry and arrangement of holes. Majority of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software offer a set of predefined strategies to choose from. These tool ... -
Application-specific transfer learning over edge networks
(2021-11-01)Transfer learning uses a profound labeled set of data from the source domain to deal with a similar problem for the target domain. Transfer learning provides accurate decision- making when insufficient data samples are ... -
Applications and numerical investigation of differential-algebraic equations
(2010-05-01)Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) result in many areas of science and engineer- ing. In this thesis, numerical methods for solving DAEs are compared for two prob- lems, energy-economic models and traffic flow models. ... -
An applied comparison of eyewitness lineup procedures: New Jersey v. England and Wales' PACE v. New York.
(2014-07-01)In response to the growing recognition of wrongful conviction and the role that mistaken identification (ID) plays in these miscarriages of justice, some countries, states, and police departments have developed new guidelines ... -
