Assessing construction and demolition waste generation rates using satellite imagery
Municipal solid waste management has seen a surge in the use of satellite imagery in decision-making processes, yet its application to analyze quantitative variations in construction and demolition (C&D) waste remains underexplored. Especially the COVID- 19 pandemic disrupted conventional municipal …

Evaluating the impact of "Consent and capacity: everyday decision-making in long-term care" on staff critical thinking disposition.
The ability to think critically is valuable in all aspects of life, but staff critical thinking (CT) is particularly valuable in the challenging long-term care (LTC) setting where there are numerous, complex factors at play. Innovative continuing education programs are essential to support the …

Sustainable management of industrial capital: LCA and spatial analysis in decision making for beneficial use of industrial by -products
<p>The goal of this research was to broaden understanding of multiple impacts in assessing materials for construction. Life cycle assessment was used to this effect to understand the impacts from the use of industrial by-products for different applications on different spatial scales. The first two …

Infrared excesses from accretion streams in pre-main-sequence binaries
We used Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to study the formation and evolution of mass streams that transfer material from a circumbinary disk to the stars of a close binary. These streams form when the disk is hot enough and/or viscous enough (thickness-to-radius ratio c &ge; 0.05, for viscosity …

Network-based advanced malware detection using multi-classifier machine learning
Over the past decade, cyber threats have significantly evolved in persistence and sophistication. Malware has been the primary choice of weapon to carry out various cyberattacks. Host-based malware detection, as the primary line of defence, evolved into the \Achilles Heel". In particular, the …

Soft [beta]-adrenoceptor agonists for topical use in psoriasis
… of elevated erythematous plaques. The ratio of c~AMP/c~GMP is decreased in psoriatic skin and when the epidermal cell surface receptors are stimulated by β-adrenergic agonists, intracellular ATP is transformed into c-AMP, thus restoring the c~AMP/c~GMP levels. This thesis describes a series of …

Feasibility of Reuse in the Concrete Industry
The construction and demolition (C&D) waste produced by the Canadian construction industry accounts for 27% of the total municipal solid waste disposed in landfills. However, more than 75% of C&D waste has residual value and, consequently, could be salvaged, recycled, and/or reused. The need for …

Performance portability of parallel kernels on shared-memory systems
This work describes my solution to the performance portability problem: between CPUs and GPUs in particular, but laying the foundation for even broader performance portability support. I argue that the best approach is to use a language like OpenCL as a portable, low-level programming model with …

Nonunital multiplier pairs and remarks on generalized group C*-algebras
<p>In the first part of this paper we will consider a generalization of D. Hadwin and E. Nordgren's work on multiplier pairs. Here we will not assume the existence of an identity, but rather just ask for the existence of a bounded approximate identity. Without the assumption of the identity, we …

A Study to Investigate Factors Involved in the Development of Oesophageal Carcinoma
<b>Introduction: </b>Dietary questionnaire studies have suggested that patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma are deficient in antioxidants. It is unknown whether the same holds true for patients with the precursor lesion, Barrett's oesophagus. The current study considered the hypothesis that …

Comparative systems analysis of thermochemical and biochemical recycling of organic waste towards industrial feedstocks
<p>Shifting the resource base for chemical and energy production from fossil feedstocks to renewable raw materials is seen by many as one of the key strategies towards sustainable development. The utilization of biomass for the production of fuels and materials has been proposed as an alternative …

The effects of early life nutrient restriction on the cardiovascular system of the adult sheep
… in the gestational undernutrition (UC) showed a dampened heart rate response to a stressor, which was not seen when combined with a postnatal challenge (UU). Basal adrenaline was elevated in male and female singletons exposed to the postnatal challenge (CU & UU). The stressor produced an enhanced …

Thermoionization and dissociation of fullerenes and endohedral fullerenes
<p>Electron emission and unimolecular dissociation of energetically excited fullerenes and endohedral fullerenes are studied with mass spectrometry. Three experimental approaches have been developed for these studies. These are UV laser excitation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS), laser …

Restoring forest landscapes for nature conservation and human well-being: Advanced spatial decision support tools
Forest management involves dealing with conflicts between the protection of nature and the use of natural resources. Bad management practices have led to significant forest degradation worldwide. It is estimated that globally about 13 million hectares of forest are lost every year, leading to a …

CUPOLETS: Chaotic unstable periodic orbits theory and applications
<p>Recent theoretical work suggests that periodic orbits of chaotic systems are a rich source of qualitative information about the dynamical system. The presence of unstable periodic orbits located densely on the attractor is a typical characteristic of chaotic systems. This abundance of unstable …
