  • Weathering the rural reality: delivery of the Nurse-Family Partnership home visitation program in rural British Columbia, Canada 
    Campbell, Karen A.; MacKinnon, Karen; Dobbins, Maureen; Van Borek, Natasha; Jack, Susan M.; Catherine, Nicole; Gonzalez, Andrea; Landy, Christine Kurtz; MacMillan, Harriet; Marcellus, Lenora; Sheehan, Debbie; Tonmyr, Lil; Varcoe, Colleen; Waddell, Charlotte (BMC Nursing, 2019)
    Background Pregnant girls/young women and new mothers living in situations of social and economic disadvantage are at increased risk for poor health. Rural living may compound marginalization and create additional challenges ...
  • What does crowdsourced data tell us about bicycling injury? A case study in a mid-sized Canadian city 
    Fischer, Jaimy; Nelson, Trisalyn; Laberee, Karen; Winters, Meghan (Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2020)
    With only ∼20 % of bicycling crashes captured in official databases, studies on bicycling safety can be limited. New datasets on bicycling incidents are available via crowdsourcing applications, with opportunity for analyses ...
  • When Cells Suffocate: Autophagy in Cancer and Immune Cells under Low Oxygen 
    Schlie, Katrin; Spowart, Jaeline E.; Hughson, Luke R.K.; Townsend, Katelin N.; Lum, Julian J. (International Journal of Cell Biology, 2011-08)
    Hypoxia is a signature feature of growing tumors. This cellular state creates an inhospitable condition that impedes the growth and function of all cells within the immediate and surrounding tumor microenvironment. To adapt ...
  • White matter and its relationship with cognition in subjective cognitive decline 
    Ohlhauser, Lisa; Parker, Ashleigh F.; Smart, Colette M.; Gawryluk, Jodie R.; for the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (Alzheimer’s & Dementia, 2019)
    Introduction: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the earliest stage on the continuum toward Alzheimer's disease. This study examined (1) differences in white matter integrity between individuals with SCD and healthy ...
  • Why public health matters today and tomorrow: the role of applied public health research 
    McLaren, Lindsay; Braitstein, Paula; Buckeridge, David; Contandriopoulos, Damien; Creatore, Maria I.; Faulkner, Guy; Hammond, David; Hoffman, Steven J.; Kestens, Yan; Leatherdale, Scott; McGavock, Jonathan; Norman, Wendy V.; Nykiforuk, Candace; Ridde, Valéry; Smylie, Janet (Canadian Journal of Public Health, 2019)
    Public health is critical to a healthy, fair, and sustainable society. Realizing this vision requires imagining a public health community that can maintain its foundational core while adapting and responding to contemporary ...
  • WIMP dark matter in the parity solution to the strong CP problem 
    Kawamura, Junichiro; Okawa, Shohei; Omura, Yuji; Tang, Yong (Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019)
    We extend the Standard Model (SM) with parity symmetry, motivated by the strong CP problem and dark matter. In our model, parity symmetry is conserved at high energy by introducing a mirror sector with the extra gauge ...
  • Windscapes shape seabird instantaneous energy costs but adult behavior buffers impact on offspring 
    Elliott, Kyle Hamish; Chivers, Lorraine S; Bessey, Lauren; Gaston, Anthony J; Hatch, Scott A; Kato, Akiko; Osborne, Orla; Ropert-Coudert, Yan; Speakman, John R; Hare, James F (Movement Ecology, 2014-09-12)
    Background: Windscapes affect energy costs for flying animals, but animals can adjust their behavior to accommodate wind-induced energy costs. Theory predicts that flying animals should decrease air speed to compensate for ...
  • Worry as a window into the lives of people who use injection drugs : a factor analysis approach 
    Exner, Heidi; Gibson, Erin K.; Stone, Ryan; Lindquist, Jennifer; Cowen, Laura L.E.; Roth, Eric A. (BioMed Central, 2009-07-29)
    Background: The concept of risk dominates the HIV/AIDS literature pertaining to People Who Use Injection Drugs (PWUID). In contrast the associated concept of worry is infrequently applied, even though it can produce ...
  • X chromosome drive in a widespread Palearctic woodland fly, Drosophila testacea 
    Keais, Graeme; Hanson, Mark; Gowen, Brent; Perlman, Steve (Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2017-06)
    Selfish genes that bias their own transmission during meiosis can spread rapidly in populations, even if they contribute negatively to the fitness of their host. Driving X chromosomes provide a clear example of this type ...
  • A Year in Hypoxia: Epibenthic Community Responses to Severe Oxygen Deficit at a Subsea Observatory in a Coastal Inlet 
    Matabos, M.; Tunnicliffe, V.; Juniper, S. Kim; Dean, C. (PLOS ONE, 2012)
    Changes in ocean ventilation driven by climate change result in loss of oxygen in the open ocean that, in turn, affects coastal areas in upwelling zones such as the northeast Pacific. Saanich Inlet, on the west coast of ...
  • β-delayed neutron emission of r-process nuclei at the N=82shell closure 
    Hall, O.; Davinson, T.; Estrade, A.; Liu, J.; Lorusso, G.; Montes, F.; Nishimura, S.; Phong, V.H.; Woods, P.J.; Agramunt, J.; Ahn, D.S.; Algora, A.; Allmond, J.M.; Baba, H.; Bae, S.; Brewer, N.T.; Bruno, C.G.; Caballero-Folch, R.; Dillmann, I. (Physics Letters B, 2021)
    Theoretical models of β-delayed neutron emission are used as crucial inputs in r-process calculations. Benchmarking the predictions of these models is a challenge due to a lack of currently available experimental data. In ...
