The Archives Unleashed Project: Technology, Process, and Community to Improve Scholarly Access to Web Archives
(ACM/IEEE, 2020-08)The Archives Unleashed project aims to improve scholarly access to web archives through a multi-pronged strategy involving tool creation, process modeling, and community building -- all proceeding concurrently in mutually ... -
Introduction: Strange Circulations: Affect and the Library.
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2020)Introduction to a special issue of Library Trends on the role of affect in library work. -
Content-Based Exploration of Archival Images Using Neural Networks
(ACM/IEEE, 2020-08)We present DAIRE (Deep Archival Image Retrieval Engine), an image exploration tool based on latent representations derived from neural networks, which allows scholars to "query" using an image of interest to rapidly find ... -
Integrative Genomics Reveals the Genetics and Evolution of the Honey Bee’s Social Immune System
(Oxford University Press, 2019)Social organisms combat pathogens through individual innate immune responses or through social immunity—behaviors among individuals that limit pathogen transmission within groups. Although we have a relatively detailed ... -
A Longitudinal Examination of the Social-Ecological Correlates of Exercise in Men and Women Following Cardiac Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2019-02-16)Cardiac patients who engage in ≥150 min of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA)/week have lower mortality, yet MVPA declines even following cardiac rehabilitation (CR), and is lower in women. A randomized ... -
Photos of attendees at the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections Open House celebrating the 50th anniversary
(2020-03-04)On Wednesday, March 4, 2020: 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Joy Kirchner, Dean of Libraries hosted a 50th anniversary celebration of the Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections at York University with an Archives Open House ... -
A checklist for choosing between R packages in ecology and evolution
(Wiley, 2020)The open source and free programming language R is a phenomenal mechanism to address a multiplicity of challenges in ecology and evolution. It is also a complex ecosystem because of the diversity of solutions available to ... -
Metabolic Coordination of Pericyte Phenotypes: Therapeutic Implications
(Frontiers, 2020)Pericytes are mural vascular cells found predominantly on the abluminal wall of capillaries, where they contribute to the maintenance of capillary structural integrity and vascular permeability. Generally quiescent cells ... -
Nucleus-specific linker histones Hho1 and Mlh1 form distinct protein interactions during growth, starvation and development in Tetrahymena thermophila
(Springer Nature, 2019)Chromatin organization influences most aspects of gene expression regulation. The linker histone H1, along with the core histones, is a key component of eukaryotic chromatin. Despite its critical roles in chromatin structure ... -
Influence of a neck compression collar on cerebrovascular and autonomic function in men and women
(PLOS, 2019)Objective Neck compression collars have been proposed to reduce injury to the brain caused by head impacts. Our objective was to test if compression of the carotid artery affected the baroreflex and influenced blood ... -
Considering the role of Murine double minute 2 in the cardiovascular system
(Frontiers, 2019)The E3 ubiquitin ligase Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is the main negative regulator of the tumor protein p53 (TP53). Extensive studies over more than two decades have confirmed MDM2 oncogenic role through mechanisms both ... -
Regulating the fast-food landscape: Canadian news media representation of the Healthy Menu Choices Act
(BMC, 2019)With the rapid rise of fast food consumption in Canada, Ontario was the first province to legislate menu labelling requirements via the enactment of the Healthy Menu Choice Act (HMCA). As the news media plays a significant ... -
Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity: assessment using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton
(BMC, 2019)Background Motor impairment after stroke interferes with performance of everyday activities. Upper limb spasticity may further disrupt the movement patterns that enable optimal function; however, the specific features of ... -
Depletion of Branched-Chain Aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) Enzyme Impairs Myoblast 3 Survival and Myotube Formation
(Wiley, 2019)Much is known about the positive effects of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in regulating muscle protein metabolism. Comparatively much less is known about the effects of these amino acids and their metabolites in ... -
CAPA neuropeptides and their receptor form an anti-diuretic hormone signalling system in the human disease vector, Aedes aegypti
(Nature, 2020)Insect CAPA neuropeptides are homologs of mammalian neuromedin U and are known to influence ion and water balance by regulating the activity of the Malpighian ‘renal’ tubules (MTs). Several diuretic hormones are known to ... -
Altered white matter structure in auditory tracts following early monocular enucleation
(Elsevier, 2019)Purpose: Similar to early blindness, monocular enucleation (the removal of one eye) early in life results in crossmodal behavioral and morphological adaptations. Previously it has been shown that partial visual deprivation ... -
A Turtle Population Study in an Isolated Urban Wetland Complex in Ontario Reveals a Few Surprises
(CSP, 2019)We report on the results of the first mark–recapture survey of freshwater turtles in an isolated urban wetland complex in one of Canada’s fastest growing municipalities. Although we found turtles in every surveyed wetland, ... -
The effects of awareness of the perturbation during motor adaptation on hand localization
(Public Library of Science, 2019)Awareness of task demands is often used during rehabilitation and sports training by providing instructions which appears to accelerate learning and improve performance through explicit motor learning. However, the effects ... -
Waste Reduction Strategies: Understanding the factors affecting efficacy of talent selection in sport and improving talent wastage
(Frontiers, 2019)Coaches are faced with the difficult task of identifying and selecting athletes to their team. Despite its widespread practice in sport, there is still much to learn about improving the identification and selection process. ...
