Beyond occupational differences : the importance of cross-cutting demographics and dyadic toolkits for collaboration in a US hospital
… of cross-cutting demographics and dyadic toolkits to cross-occupational collaboration. In this paper, we demonstrate that a social structure characterized by cross-cutting demographics between occupational groups (where occupational membership is uncorrelated with demographic group …

Eliciting Willingness-to-Pay from Canadian Recreational Anglers to Fish on Watersheds Adopting Novel eDNA Toolkits: A Contingent Valuation Approach
… watersheds were they to adopt novel eDNA toolkits. The survey gathered responses from 999 Canadian recreational anglers using a double-bounded dichotomous-choice format. Other than WTP elicitation, this study also identifies how the provision of information influences WTP. Results from …

Adaptive metabolic gene clusters as toolkits for chemical innovation: Investigation of the origin of the avenacin gene cluster for synthesis of defense compounds in oats
Operon-like gene clusters are functional cassettes of physically linked and non-homologous genes involved in the same pathway. To date, 20 such plant gene clusters have been discovered, all of which are involved in specialised metabolism. Plant gene clusters raise interesting biological questions …

Know-about, know-that, know-how: A model for moving between theory and design practice
… assumptions that underlie the design methods and toolkits used in the design process. In practice, design happens through the application of methods (processes that result in design outcomes), toolkits (materials that support the implementation of methods), and heuristics (the skillful application …

A metrics study in Virtual Reality
… such as quality. There are several software toolkits that exist in virtual reality that have not had formal software engineering methodologies applied during their development. This research looks at applying knowledge gained from the metrics discipline to the software toolkits used in …

A taxonomy and analysis of web wrapping technologies
… no uniform way of characterizing web wrapping toolkits, unlike say, a digital camera which can be described in terms of the size of its sensor or storage capacity. The focus of this thesis therefore is to develop a taxonomy or classification scheme that can be used to effectively describe a web …

Detection and Mitigation of Bias in Machine Learning Software and Datasets
… and mitigation of such biases using novel toolkits. In this thesis, we explore this topic from two dimensions: (1) First, we qualitatively study how fairness APIs (i.e. software libraries) are used in the wild (i.e., in open-source ML software systems) to detect and mitigate diverse use …

Developing and evaluating “paraben-free & me”: an educational toolkit that targets parabens exposure reduction from personal care products
… parabens remain low among women. Educational toolkits have the potential to effectively raise awareness and promote positive behaviours regarding environmental health risks. This study aims to create an evidence-informed digital educational toolkit to reduce women's paraben exposure. The …

Forensic framework for honeypot analysis
… Forensics has grown. In this field, there exist toolkits and methods that are used to forensically analyze production and honeypot systems. To counter the toolkits, anti-forensic techniques have been developed. Honeypots and production systems have several intrinsic differences. These differences …
