• A Rapid Analytical Method for the Selective Quenching-Free Determination of Thiols by GC-FPD 

  McKelvie, Kaylan H.; Thurbide, Kevin B. (Springer, Science, Chemistry, Post-print, 2018-11)

  A rapid method is introduced, which facilitates the selective gas chromatography – flame photometric detection (GC-FPD) analysis of thiols. The method uses lead oxide particles or plumbite solution to complex thiols into ...

• Closed reduction of traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation with type II odontoid fracture 

  Opoku-Darko, Michael; Isaacs, Albert M.; Duplessis, Stephan J. (Science, 2017-11-05)

  Background: Traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (TAARS) in adults is rare. We present an uncommon case of traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation with an associated type II odontoid fracture in a neurologically-intact ...

• Obese Yeast Result from Uncontrolled Gpt2 Activity 

  Cardenas Rivas, Anabel (University of Calgary, Science, Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, 2018-09-21)

• Beyond the Physical: Examining Scale and Annotation in Virtual Reality Visualizations 

  Ulusoy, Teoman; Danyluk, Kurtis Thorvald; Willett, Wesley J. (Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, 2018-10-10)

  We examine how viewers in virtual reality (VR) environments interact with simple data visualizations at scales ranging from hand-sized to room-sized. We also explore how the addition of virtual annotation and filtering ...

• Look-From Camera Control for 3D Terrain Maps 

  Danyluk, Kurtis Thorvald; Jenny, Bernhard; Willett, Wesley J. (University of Calgary, Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, Monash University, 2018-10)

  We introduce three lightweight interactive camera control techniques for 3D terrain maps on touch devices based on a look-from metaphor (Discrete Look-From-At, Continuous Look-From-Forward, and Continuous Look-From-Towards). ...

• Mapping the Current Understanding of Text Input within Virtual and Augmented Reality Environments 

  Vi, Steven (University of Calgary, Science, Computer Science, 2018-09-26)

  Text input is a vital part of how people interact with technology. With the emergence of augmented and virtual reality platforms, we see the adoption of new interaction devices and techniques that move away from traditional ...

• A comparison of inhomogeneous magnetization transfer, myelin volume fraction, and diffusion tensor imaging measures in healthy children 

  Geeraert, Bryce L.; Lebel, Robert Marc; Mah, Alyssa C.; Deoni, Sean C. L.; Alsop, David C.; Varma, Gopal; Lebel, Catherine A. (Science, University of Calgary, 2017-09-12)

  Sensitive and specific biomarkers of myelin can help define baseline brain health and development, identify and monitor disease pathology, and evaluate response to treatment where myelin content is affected. Diffusion ...

• You say Potato, I say Po-Data: Physical Template Tools for Visualization Authoring 

  Wun, Tiffany; Oehlberg, Lora A.; Sturdee, Miriam; Carpendale, Sheelagh (Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, Pre-print, 2018-08-31)

  Providing data visualization authoring tools for the general public remains an ongoing challenge. Inspired by block-printing, we explore how visualization stamps as a physical visualization authoring tool could leverage ...

• Astral: Prototyping Mobile and IoT Interactive Behaviours via Streaming and Input Remapping 

  Ledo, David; Vermeulen, Jo; Carpendale, Sheelagh; Greenberg, Saul; Oehlberg, Lora A.; Boring, Sebastian (Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen, 2018-07)

  We present Astral, a prototyping tool for mobile and Internet of Things interactive behaviours that streams selected desktop display contents onto mobile devices (smartphones and smartwatches) and remaps mobile sensor data ...

• Quantification of peroxynitric acid and peroxyacyl nitrates using an ethane-based thermal dissociation peroxy radical chemical amplification cavity ring-down spectrometer 

  Taha, Youssef M.; Saowapon, Matthew T.; Assad, Faisal V.; Ye, Connie Z.; Chen, Xining; Garner, Natasha M.; Osthoff, Hans D. (Copernicus, Science, Chemistry, University of Calgary, https://www.atmospheric-measurement-techniques.net/about/licence_and_copyright.html, 2018-07-17)

  Peroxy and peroxyacyl nitrates (PNs and PANs) are important trace gas constituents of the troposphere which are challenging to quantify by differential thermal dissociation with NO2 detection in polluted (i.e., high-NOx) ...
