(2016-04-01)Children with disabilities often experience challenges staying on-task during instructional time in a classroom which is why this an important area of study for teachers and researchers. Physical activity has been shown ... -
Incorporating digital play into scientific inquiry
(2022-12-01)Play and inquiry have been recognised as effective facets of learning science (Vartiainen et al., 2020). Several researchers have highlighted the importance of incorporating digital play into K-12 students’ science education ... -
Increasing experience sharing through regulation instructions
(2020-12-01)Experience sharing is an individual’s tendency to resonate with and take on the sensory, motor, and affective experiences of others. While traditional conceptualizations of this process argue its automaticity, recent ... -
Increasing the efficiency of cam follower systems through energy recovery
(2019-08-01)A cam and follower system is a mechanical linkage designed to transform a rotating motion to that of a linear reciprocating motion. Cams are well known for valving in internal combustion engines but are commonly utilized ... -
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
(2022-12-01)During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ... -
Individual factors predicting mental health court diversion outcome
(2011-06-01)Little research has examined which individual factors may predict mental health court diversion outcome. Using data provided by a non-profit mental health services agency operating in the Durham Region in Ontario, this ... -
Individuals’ empathic responses to exonerees’ emotional and physical suffering
(2022-06-01)In exploring avenues to combat the stigma exonerees experience, a study was conducted to examine whether exposure to an exoneree’s suffering increases empathy and helping, and whether different empathic responses (e.g., ... -
Indo-Caribbean immigrants perceptions of dating abuse
(2016-04-01)Diverse cultures as well as social and political conditions work in various ways to alter the experiences of dating abuse among divergent populations. Utilizing an Intersectionality paradigm, I have attempted to understand ... -
Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
(2016-12-01)Dietary interventions vary in ability to influence immune activity. Separate investigations were conducted to determine the immune impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials (DFM) and high energy (HE) ... -
Influence of forced convection on sessile droplet evaporation
(2019-04-01)Evaporation is a phase change process with potential for achieving large heat transfer rates under high air temperatures due to the latent heat of vaporization. Bioin-spired artificial perspiration systems can leverage the ... -
The influence of general cognitive training on sport-specific performance in wheelchair basketball
(2018-08-01)There has been tremendous growth of sport-science literature completed on able-bodied or mainstream athletes. However, research completed on the development of perceptual-cognitive skills on athletes with physical disabilities ... -
Influence of sinusoidal motion on Stirling engines
(2018-12-01)Stirling engines have a high potential to produce renewable energy due to their ability to use a wide range of sustainable heat sources and their high theoretical efficiencies. They have not yet achieved widespread use and ... -
The influence of surface tension on F2-Bubble Morphology at detachment from carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten fluoride salt
(2020-04-01)Molecular F2 and H2-bubbles were generated electrochemically on amorphous carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten salt to study the effect of surface tension (ϒ) on the profile of a bubble. F2 is used for the purification and ... -
Influencing motivation to empathize in individuals with heightened psychopathic traits: neural and behavioural assessment of empathizing with others
(2021-08-01)Central to psychopathy is a purported lack of empathy for others. However, recent literature suggests that the decreased empathic responses of psychopathic individuals may be a result of aberrant motivations, rather than ... -
Informing the creation of an evidence-based app for daily physical activity in schools
