(2022-08-01)
Objectives: To determine the one-week prevalence of neck and low back pain in undergraduate students, and the association between neck and low back pain and symptoms of anxiety.
Methods: Cross-sectional study in the ...
Digital empowerment: exploring how fully online learning communities support digital competency development
(2022-08-01)
This research investigates the digital competence and experiences of faculty participating in a fully online professional learning initiative, Ontario Extend. This learning initiative is described as a form of Fully Online ...
Brønsted acid-catalyzed stereoselective allylation of exo-glycals with allyltrimethylsilane
(2022-08-01)
Quaternary stereocenter on carbohydrate scaffolds is an important motif due to its presence in natural products and biologically active compounds. However, the preparation of C,C-glycosides is a challenge, and to date, ...
Discrete optimization of upgrade scheduling
(2022-08-01)
A primary objective of the mission to meet climate change goals of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is to transition from fossil fuels to zero-emission energy. Fossil fuel production and transportation account for ...
“Taking a chance and striking out”: an exploration of homelessness, housing pathways, and ‘self-sabotage’
(2022-08-01)
Homelessness remains a prevalent social issue in Canada, though limited research has sought to explore the process of transitioning from homelessness to housing. Exits from homelessness are rarely straightforward and are ...
Flow characteristics and acoustic resonance excitation of finned cylinders in cross-flow
(2022-12-01)
The flow characteristics and acoustic resonance excitation of bare and finned cylinders of different arrangements in cross-flow were experimentally investigated. In the design phase of finned tube heat exchangers, finned ...
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 ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
