From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been inferred from architecture measurements with muscles at rest (from anatomical dissections or medical imaging ...

Subperiosteal circumferential connective tissue graft for vertical implant soft tissue augmentation

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vertical implant soft tissue augmentation is indicated to optimize esthetic outcomes in cases of peri‐implant soft tissue deficiency or dehiscence, particularly when the peri‐implant mucosa is exposed during a full smile. This manuscript describes the use of a subperiosteal circumferential connective tissue graft (SC CTG) for ...

Cedar oil : a forest product in British Columbia

open access: yes, 2003
The production of cedar oil as a non-timber forest product in British Columbia is a relatively unknown industry. The product, processing, and raw material supply were investigated and insights into why the product has relatively few producers in British ...

MurNAc‐Based Electrophilic Inhibitors of O‐Acetylpeptidoglycan Esterase (Ape): Design, Synthesis, and Kinetic Evaluation

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A series of N‐acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc)‐based electrophilic inhibitors targeting Ape esterase was synthesized. Their inhibitory potency ranged from micromolar to submillimolar. The study probed binding contributions of stem peptide extension, replacing the anomeric methyl group with a benzyl, and α‐fluorination of the carbonyl to enhance ...

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.

Questioning locality: the UBC Museum of Anthropology and its hinterlands Questionando a localidade: o UBC Museum of Anthropology e os seus arredores

open access: yesEtnográfica: Revista do Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia, 2007
This paper argues that locality is itself a culturally constructed category which, if not critically assessed may hide the political relations existing between museums and other institutions within a specified museumscape.

Dynamic survival risk prediction with time‐varying high‐dimensional images

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating longitudinal data with survival models is a prevalent strategy for dynamic survival risk prediction while accounting for subjects' longitudinally observed variables. However, existing methods primarily focus on scalar longitudinal data and seldom tackle the complexities associated with high‐dimensional longitudinal imaging data ...
