Game data mining: clustering and visualization of online game data in cyber-physical worlds
(Elsevier, 2017)Since its debut in May 2016, Overwatch has quickly become a popular team-based online video game. Despite the popularity of Overwatch, many new players---who join the game unsure how to compete with the game’s veterans---feel ... -
Garlic extracts prevent oxidative stress, hypertrophy and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes: a role for nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide
(2012-08-29)Abstract Background In ancient times, plants were recognized for their medicinal properties. Later, the arrival of synthetic drugs pushed it to the backstage. However, from being merely ... -
Gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity profiles of metformin versus placebo in men with prostate cancer receiving prostate radiotherapy: interim toxicity results of a double-blinded, multicenter, phase II randomized controlled trial
(2021-11-04)Abstract Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) used for prostate cancer (PCa) management is associated with metabolic and anthropometric toxicity. Metformin given concurrent to ADT is hypothesized to counteract ... -
Gastrointestinal symptoms before and during menses in healthy women
(2014-01-22)Abstract Background Little is known as to the extent gastrointestinal (GI) complaints are reported by women around menses. We aimed to describe GI symptoms that occurred premenstrually and ... -
Gathering Research: Why all librarians should care about systematic reviews
(Ontario Library Association (OLA), 2022-02-04)Requests for librarian support of systematic reviews, and other knowledge synthesis research, are growing, and increasingly these requests are coming from outside the traditional realm of the health sciences. In this panel, ... -
Gender differences among Indigenous Canadians experiencing homelessness and mental illness

Gender-inclusive writing for epidemiological research on pregnancy
(BMJ, 2022-06-20)People who have a uterus but are not cisgender women may carry pregnancies. Unfortunately to date, academic language surrounding pregnancy remains largely (cis )woman-centric. The exclusion of gender-diverse people in the ... -
Gender-specific profiles of tobacco use among non-institutionalized people with serious mental illness
(2010-11-30)Abstract Background In many countries, smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death. In North America, reductions in population smoking levels are stabilising and, in recent years, those involved in tobacco control ... -
Gene expression networks controlling seedling development and vigour in oilseed rape.
(2015-07-05)The aim of the study was to confirm Quantitative trait loci (QTL) candidate genes with putative network regulatory roles during seedling emergence. A transcriptome-based systems analysis of seedling emergence was performed ... -
Generalized parton distributions through universal moment parameterization: non-zero skewness case
(SpringerOpen, 2023-05-18)Abstract We present the first global analysis of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) combing lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations and experiment measurements including ... -
Genes and functions from breast cancer signatures
(2018-04-27)Abstract Background Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and personalized medicine is the hope for the improvement of the clinical outcome. Multi-gene signatures for breast ... -
Genetic basis for prediction of non-responders to dietary plant sterol intervention (GenePredict-PS): a study protocol for a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized two-period crossover study
(2020-06-01)Abstract Background Functional food ingredients and natural health products have been demonstrated to reduce disease risk and thereby help to lower health care costs across populations at risk for chronic or degenerative ... -
Genetic characterization of a core collection of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) suitable for association mapping studies and evidence of divergent selection between fiber and linseed types
(2013-05-06)Abstract Background Flax is valued for its fiber, seed oil and nutraceuticals. Recently, the fiber industry has invested in the development of products made from linseed stems, making it a dual ... -
