Mobile Localities: Beyond Monocultures of the Mind.
(2014)Employing insights from contemporary postcolonial, decolonial, and indigenous theory, this article argues that home, identity, and the politics of naming “here” are emerging as complex “mobile localities” with implications ... -
Model-Based Pseudo-Quad-Pol Reconstruction from Compact Polarimetry and Its Application to Oil-Spill Observation
(2015-7-26)Compact polarimetry is an effective imaging mode for wide area observation, especially for the open ocean. In this study, we propose a new method for pseudo-quad-polarization reconstruction from compact polarimetry based ... -
Modeling age-related neuromuscular changes in humans
(NRC Research Press, 2009-08)With aging, motoneurons and muscle tissue undergo significant changes, which influence function in terms of strength, mobility, and overall independence. Mathematical modeling provides a practical method of studying the ... -
Modelling Soil Water Retention for Weed Seed Germination Sensitivity to Water Potential
(2012-5-6)Soil water retention is important for the study of water availability to germinating weed seeds. Six soil water retention models (Campbell, Brooks-Corey, four- and five-parameter van Genuchten, Tani, and Russo) with residual ... -
Models and frameworks of patient engagement in health services research: a scoping review protocol
(2018-09-10)Plain English summary Patient engagement in research is an emerging approach that involves active and meaningful collaboration between researchers and patients throughout all phases of a project, including ... -
Modes of Infant Feeding and the Risk of Childhood Asthma: a Prospective Birth Cohort Study
(The Journal of Pediatrics, 2017-11-01)Objective To determine whether different modes of infant feeding are associated with childhood asthma, including differentiating between direct breastfeeding and expressed breast milk. Study design We studied 3296 ... -
Modulating brain networks associated with cognitive deficits in Parkinson’s disease
(2021-03-10)Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a relatively well characterised neurological disorder that primarily affects motor and cognitive functions. This paper reviews on how transcranial direct current stimulation ... -
Molecular characterization of rotavirus isolates from select Canadian pediatric hospitals
(2012-11-15)Abstract Background We report the first multi-site rotavirus genotype analysis in Canada. Prior to this study, there was a dearth of rotavirus G and P genotyping data in Canada. ... -
Molecular dissection of Wnt3a-Frizzled8 interaction reveals essential and modulatory determinants of Wnt signaling activity
(2014-05-30)Abstract Background Wnt proteins are a family of secreted signaling molecules that regulate key developmental processes in metazoans. The molecular basis of Wnt binding to Frizzled and LRP5/6 ... -
Molecular Epidemiology of Legionella pneumophila Infection at a Canadian Tertiary Care Institution
(1994-1-1)Objective: To characterize the molecular epidemiology of Legionella species infection at one Canadian tertiary care centre.Design: Twenty-eight clinical isolates and 12 environmental isolates obtained over a six-year period ... -
Molecular Population Structure of Junonia Butterflies from French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and Martinique
(2014-10-12)Up to 9 described species of Junonia butterflies occur in the Americas, but authorities disagree due to species similarities, geographical and seasonal variability, and possible hybridization. In dispute is whether Caribbean ... -
Monitoring Mobility in Older Adults Using Global Positioning System (GPS) Watches and Accelerometers: A Feasibility Study
(Human Kinetics, Inc., 2009-10)This exploratory study examined the feasibility of using Garmin global positioning system (GPS) watches and ActiGraph accelerometers to monitor walking and other aspects of community mobility in older adults. After ... -
Monofunctional platinum(ii) anticancer complexes based on multidentate phenanthridine-containing ligand frameworks
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-04-20)Phenanthriplatin is a leading preclinical anticancer Pt complex distinguished by a phenanthridine ligand that facilitates DNA-targeted covalent binding via intercalation. We report here that Pt(II) complexes incorporating ... -
