Victoria, British Columbia : green road inner duct (VIC-G.R.I.D.) - planning for a modern transportation city
… transportation planning in the Greater Victoria of British Columbia region. Using an exploratory mixed methods approach that employed a literature review, an on-line survey, interviews and the partaking of a personal transportation journey, this study examined the views of Greater …

Understanding Voltage -Gated Ion Channels via Molecular Archeology
… ion channels. The voltage-gated ion channels (VIC) superfamily is one of the oldest groups of membrane transporters. Members of the VIC superfamily are capable of transporting potassium, sodium and calcium ions. The voltage-gated ion channels are well known for their function in excitable …

Volunteering in the higher education curriculum: the politics of policy, practice and participation
… undertaking the Volunteering in the Curriculum (ViC) programme. What emerges is the extent to which the dominant discourse of ‘employability’ is foregrounded in government policy directives, and the pressures thus placed on the university management of Wrottesley to respond effectively to first …

Applications for the activation of hydroxyl groups to nucleophilic attack
… Two approaches to the synthesis of vic-dithiols were investigated. The more successful approach involves reaction of the trithiocarbonate dianion with cyclic sulphate esters of vic-diols to yield a protected version of the vic-dithiols. In a second approach, rearrangement of …

Soil Moisture-driven Drought Evaluation under Present and Future Conditions
… Tool (SWAT) and Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) models are used with a meteorological forecasting dataset. Results indicate that eight weeks of lead-time drought forecasting show good drought predictability for the Contiguous United States (CONUS). For the drought projection at a finer …

Peri-substituted dithianaphthalenes as sources of reactive intermediates in organic chemistry
… suggested formation of triplet SO. vic-Disulfoxides are reactive intermediates in the oxidation of thiosulfinates to thiosulfonates. The oxidation of 1,8-naphthalene disulfides was investigated. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that electron-rich …

Evolution of Voltage-gated Ion Channels
<p>Voltage-gated Ion Channels (VICs) form a superfamily of energy-independent membrane transporters that facilitate the transfer of charged sodium, calcium, and potassium ions across the cell membrane (Hodgkin & Huxley 1952). The channels contain a selective ion-conducting pore along with several …

Observation-Based Algorithm Development For Subsurface Hydrology In Northern Temperate Wetlands
… model, the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model. The existing VIC model was modified to better represent the effect of surface and subsurface water storage in managed wetlands. An improved water table depth calculation, based on a drained to equilibrium assumption, was incorporated …

Design of a microcomputer-based open heart surgery patient monitor
A patient monitor device for use during open heart surgery has been designed and constructed. The device uses a VIC 20 microcomputer along with some additional circuitry to monitor 3 separate functions. The first patient variable monitored is the blood flow rate through the extracorporeal blood …

Wine & Beer
… tells the story of childhood friends Brian and Vic who, after spending some time apart, deal with the tensions of sexual orientation after they attempt to renew their friendship. At the beginning it seems that Vic's sexuality will not be a problem, but after the two friends hang out in a local …

Design of a microcomputer-based microporous membrane process controller
… designed to direct and monitor the process. A VIC 20 is used as the process-controlling microcomputer. The system features two dedicated motor controllers and two channels for controlling temperature. The motor controllers determine the material feed rate and rate of stretch. The temperature …

Understanding the causes of streamflow changes in the Eurasian Arctic
… coupled to the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrology model, we find that, while reservoir construction and operation apparently had little effect on long-term annual streamflow trends, they are responsible for much of the observed increases in winter and early spring …

Assessment of irrigation use on crop yield and water supplies in the Midwestern U.S.
… between historical and future periods using the VIC-CropSyst model, which incorporates a cropping system model, the CropSyst, model, into a large-scale hydrology model, the VIC model. First the effect of climate change on non-irrigated crop yields is quantified, then the ability of irrigation to …
