Tied In Knots: A Case Study on Anthropographic Data Visualization About Sexual Harassment in the Academy
(IEEE, 2020-10-30)
With this pictorial we present the design process of “The Academia is Tied in Knots”, an interactive visualization based on sensitive and qualitative data, namely personal stories reported by people who have experienced ...
Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
(2020-06-01)
Most research in the Lake Simcoe watershed (LSW) has focused on how the lake has responded to changes in nutrients sourced by agriculture, particularly after mitigation measures have been put in place to remedy the lake’s ...
Characterization of the ACC-1 Family of cys-loop ligand gated ion channels from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
(2020-12-01)
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been extensively studied for decades because of their role in current anthelmintic action and potential as targets for future drugs. Many families of cys loop receptors ...
Adaptive serious games for computer science education
(2020-10-01)
Serious games have the potential to effectively engage students to learn, however, these games tend to struggle accommodating learners with diverse abilities and needs. Furthermore, customizing a serious game to the ...
Development of Non-covalent Chemical Probes for μ, δ and κ Opioid Receptors
(2020-12-01)
Opioids are well-known pain relievers and one of several therapeutic options for pain management. Although opioids are very effective analgesics, continued use and abuse can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal ...
Templated N-doped carbon materials for energy storage and conversion: synthesis and characterization studies
(2020-08-01)
Sustainable energy sources are necessary to decrease the environmental problems associated with fossil fuels. Modified mesoporous carbon materials have been studied with aims of improving the performance of energy conversion ...
Lexichrome: Text Construction and Lexical Discovery with Word-Color Associations Using Interactive Visualization
(ACM, 2020-07-03)
Based on word-color associations from a comprehensive, crowdsourced lexicon, we present Lexichrome: a web application that explores the popular perception of relationships between English words and eleven basic color terms ...
Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Vinylboronic Acids and Benzhydryl Alcohols
(2020-04-01)
The functionalization of benzhydryl alcohols is an approach to form important building blocks in organic synthesis. More specifically, the derivatization of benzhydryl alcohols to afford an alkene is a desired approach due ...
Impact of potato protein supplementation with dietary fermentable materials on immune measures in Sprague-Dawley rats
(2020-09-01)
Bacteria may influence the immune system by fermenting dietary fermentable materials (DFM) that resist digestion and reach the colon intact. This study investigated how resistant protein supplementation could affect the ...
Material properties and mechanical behaviour of large-scale additively manufactured multi-layered steels
(2020-03-01)
Metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing is an additive manufacturing technique based on gas metal arc welding. The systems’ dual nozzle design prints two steels simultaneously; in this study, the test samples are made from ...
