Evaluating Disability Management in the Manitoban Construction Industry for Injured Workers Returning to the Workplace with a Disability
(NRC Research Press, 2016)
The poor safety record of the construction industry raises concerns about the extent to which it is able to integrate workers disabled as a result of a workplace injury back to the workplace. A review of the literature ...
A method of spatial correction for acoustic positioning biotelemetry
(2016-02-03)
Abstract
Background
It has been stated that there is a certain amount of intrinsic error inherent in all remote sensing methods, including acoustic telemetry, which has gained ...
Reconstruction of ancestral RNA sequences under multiple structural constraints
(2016-11-11)
Abstract
Background
Secondary structures form the scaffold of multiple sequence alignment of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) families. An accurate reconstruction of ancestral ncRNAs ...
The Canadian Registry for Pulmonary Fibrosis: Design and Rationale of a National Pulmonary Fibrosis Registry
(2016-4-5)
Background. The relative rarity and diversity of fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) have made it challenging to study these diseases in single-centre cohorts. Here we describe formation of a multicentre Canadian ...
Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of core metabolism in Clostridium termitidis CT1112 during growth on α-cellulose, xylan, cellobiose and xylose
(2016-05-23)
Abstract
Background
Clostridium termitidis CT1112 is an anaerobic, Gram-positive, mesophilic, spore-forming, cellulolytic bacterium, originally ...
Inhibition of Viability, Proliferation, Cytokines Secretion, Surface Antigen Expression, and Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells by Seven-Day Exposure to 0.5 T Static Magnetic Fields
(2016-1-6)
After seven-day exposure to 0.5-Tesla Static Magnetic Field (SMF), Adipose-derived Stem Cells (ASCs) and those labeled by superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles were examined for viability by methyl thiazol ...
A predictive model for water clarity following dreissenid invasion
(Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016, 2016-04-22)
Optical transparency, or water clarity, is a
fundamental property of lake ecosystems which
influences a wide range of physical, chemical and
biological variables and processes. The establishment
of non-native dreissenid ...
Detection of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Source and Drinking Water Samples from a First Nations Community in Canada
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-08)
Access to safe drinking water is now recognized as a human right by the United Nations. In developed countries like Canada, access to clean water is generally not a matter of concern. However, one in every five First Nations ...
The transcription factor scleraxis is a critical regulator of cardiac fibroblast phenotype
(BMC Biology, 2016-03-17)
Background:
Resident fibroblasts synthesize the cardiac extracellular matrix, and can undergo phenotype conversion to myofibroblasts to augment matrix production, impairing function and contributing to organ failure. A ...
Knowledge discovery from social graph data
(Elsevier, 2016)
High volumes of a wide variety of valuable data can be easily collected and generated from a broad range of data sources of different veracities at a high velocity. In the current era of big data, many traditional data ...
