Interrelationships among sedentary behaviour, short sleep and the metabolic syndrome in adults
(2013-10-29)Background: Sedentary behaviour is waking activity in a seated or reclined position that involves little energy expenditure. It is gaining attention as an important cardiometabolic risk factor, independent of physical ... -
INTERROGATING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF LARGE-SCALE MINING IN COLOMBIA
(2012-09-24)In this thesis, I examine the case of the Canadian-based multinational mining corporation GreyStar resources Ltd. in Colombia. Angosturas is GreyStar’s large-scale gold mining project in the sensitive wet highland of páramo ... -
Intertidal hydrodynamics and basin-scale sediment dynamics in the Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy, and implications for change due to tidal power extraction
(2015-01-12)Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy has the world’s largest tidal range and exchanges approximately 110 billion tonnes of water twice a day with tidal currents up to 5 ms-1 through Minas Passage, making it an ideal site for ... -
An Intertwined Method for Making Low-Rank, Sum-Of-Product Basis Functions that makes it Possible to Compute Vibrational Spectra of Molecules with more than 10 Atoms
(2017-05-31)We propose a method for solving the vibrational Schrödinger equation with which one can compute spectra for molecules with more than ten atoms. It uses sum-of-product (SOP) basis functions stored in a canonical polyadic ... -
Intervention factors associated with reduction in metabolic syndrome score during a lifestyle intervention program
(2016-01-27)Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a cluster of risk factors associated with increased incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Personalized lifestyle interventions using diet and exercise are effective ... -
The Intervention Tone of Coaches' Behaviour: Development of the Assessment of Coaching Tone (ACT) Observational Coding System
(2016-04-27)The importance of coaches' interactive behaviour with respect to athlete development has long been recognized. While a number of observational coding systems exist to record the instructional content of coaches' interactive ... -

Intimacy Of Contact With People With Emotional Or Mental Health Problems And Expectation Of Negative Public Attitudes Toward People With Depression
(2014-11-06)Background: Previous research has shown that there is an association between prior contact with a person with emotional or mental health problems and an expectation of negative public attitudes toward people with a mental ... -
Intimate Partner Victimization in Canada: A Test of Risk Factors, Self-Control, Routine Activities, Social Disorganization, and Collective Efficacy
(2014-03-21)Over 12 million incidents of intimate partner victimization (IPV) occur each year in the U.S (Black et al. 2010). Moreover, approximately 363 per 100,000 Canadians are victims of IPV each year (Statistics Canada 2010). Due ... -
Intimate Partner Violence against Women: An Examination of Spousal Abuse and Maternal, Child Health and Economic Outcomes in Ghana
(2016-01-05)While research suggests that context, structural socioeconomic and cultural factors matter in intimate partner violence research, quantitative research on the subject in sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular Ghana, has ... -
Intra-Specific Variation in Sensitivity to Low Calcium in Daphnia Pulex
Freshwater systems experience many stressors that can affect aquatic communities; one such stressor is calcium decline. Cation depletion of surrounding soils and watersheds of many North American and Scandinavian lakes is ... -
Intractable Difficulties for the Doctrine of Double Effect: The Problem of Closeness and the Proper Focus of Concern
(2014-12-22)A more recent development within moral philosophy has been authors of a nonconsequentialist stripe forwarding arguments against principles once thought foundational to nonconsequentialist ethics as features that distinguished ... -

Intraspecific Behavioural Diversity in a Freshwater Zooplankton: A study of the fitness consequences of vertical migration behaviour for distinct morphs of Daphnia pulicaria
(2016-05-30)The literature on niche separation and coexistence between species is large, but there is widespread variation in behavioural strategy between individuals of the same species that has received much less attention. Understanding ... -
Intraspecific Variation of Three Phenotypic Morphs of Daphnia pulicaria in the presence of a Strong Environmental Gradient
(2014-04-08)Freshwater lake ecosystems often exhibit strong oxygen, and temperature gradients across which many zooplankton species live. Daphnia sp. vary in their ability to up-regulate hemoglobin in response to low oxygen environments. ... -
Intricacies of the Friendship-Cohesion Relationship in Children's Sport
(2017-03-01)The article focuses on intricacies of the friendship-cohesion relationship in children's sport. It mentions broad conceptualisation of connection is that it reflects the quality of relationships and degree of interaction ... -
Intrinsic exciton dynamics from single air-suspended semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes
(2009-01-12)Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (S-SWCNTs) have direct band gaps with a range of 0.5 to 2 eV depending on the SWCNT chirality. The photoluminescence (PL) quantum efficiency and the carriers’ radiative ...
