An Ontario Libraries' Network, or Cooperative Entanglement [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
While I accepted the invitation to discuss the College Bibliocentre at this Clinic, I cannot say that I did so with equanimity. Quite apart from many organizational difficulties, the systems both in operation and in varying stages of ...

Access to Finance and Innovation in the Canadian Food Processing

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Innovation is a presumed channel through which finance affects productivity, yet there is limited research testing the relationship between finance and innovation in the food manufacturing sector. The purpose of the paper is to explore the determinants (e.g., financing, R&D, firm size, expenditure on innovation) of the adoption of innovation ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Size‐Based Preoperative CT Assessment for Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis in Colon Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative CT based on lymph node size shows moderate accuracy for detecting nodal metastasis in colon cancer. In this meta‐analysis of 29 studies (5,634 patients), pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.69 and 0.66. Size‐based CT alone has limited value for clinical decision‐making.

Engineering Nanoemulsions to Maximize NIR‐II Fluorescence and Preserve Photothermal Performance of a Novel Boron Difluoride Formazanate Dye

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An oil‐in‐water nanoemulsion transforms a boron difluoride formazanate (BDF) dye into a dual‐modal imaging‐guided theranostic agent (BDF‐NE). Its nonpolar oil core maximizes NIR‐II fluorescence while maintaining strong photoacoustic contrast to guide photothermal therapy with high photostability and 66.8% photothermal conversion efficiency, achieving ...

Deep Learning Prediction of Surface Roughness in Multi‐Stage Microneedle Fabrication: A Long Short‐Term Memory‐Recurrent Neural Network Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A sequential deep learning framework is developed to model surface roughness progression in multi‐stage microneedle fabrication. Using real‐world experimental data from 3D printing, molding, and casting stages, an long short‐term memory‐based recurrent neural network captures the cumulative influence of geometric parameters and intermediate outputs ...

Strategies Toward Accessing Enantioenriched (Hetero)Benzo‐Fused 5‐ and 6‐ Membered Rings via Intermolecular Carbometalation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The use of transition‐metal catalysts and design of chiral ligands have allowed chemists to access highly functionalized benzofused 5‐ and 6‐ membered rings in high yield and enantioselectivity. A common strategy used relies on an intermolecular carbometalation across alkynes and olefins, usually followed by a subsequent intramolecular carbometalation.

“It Is Much Safer to Be Sparse than Connected”: Safe Control of Robotic Swarm Density Dynamics with PDE Optimization with State Constraints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a novel control framework to ensure safety of a robotic swarm. A feedback optimization controller is capable of driving the swarm toward a target density while keeping risk‐zone exposure below a safety threshold. Theory and experiments show how safety is more effectively achieved for sparsely connected swarms.

The Eco-Fee Imbroglio: Lessons from Ontario’s Troubled Experiment in Charging for Waste Management [PDF]

open access: yes
Charging for the life cycle cost of waste management is contentious. The recent example of some retailers charging “eco-fees” in Ontario, with respect to sales of household products such as detergent, batteries and fluorescent light bulbs, is a case in ...

B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.
