• The Unexpected Role of Se(VI) Species in Epoxidations with Benzeneseleninic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide 

  Back, Thomas George; Sands, Kai N; Mendoza Rengifo, Emerita; George, Graham N; Pickering, Ingrid J; Gelfand, Benjamin S (Science, University of Calgary, 2019-12-24)

  Benzeneperoxyseleninic acid has been proposed as the key intermediate in the widely used epoxidation of alkenes with benzeneseleninic acid and hydrogen peroxide. However, it reacts sluggishly with cyclooctene and instead ...

• A Report on Propagative Influence: An Influence measure for directed and undirected networks 

  Zaamout, Khobaib (Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, 2018-03-15)

  In this report, we present a new influence measure, namely Propagative Influence - PI. PI measure defines influence of a node in terms of its relationships. It suggests that a node's influence is a product of the ...

• Logic and Operator Algebras 

  Golubeva, Kimberly (Science, Mathematics & Statistics, 2019-08-31)

  Before research had commenced, the nature and process of research in pure mathematics was as foreign to me as the actual topic of interest. Within the STEM fields, there is a definitive and formulaic notion of what research ...

• Data Changes Everything: Challenges and Opportunities in Data Visualization Design Handoff 

  Jagoda Walny; Christian Frisson; Mieka West; Doris Kosminsky; Søren Knudsen; Sheelagh Carpendale; Willett, Wesley J. (Science, Computer Science, University of Calgary, 2019-08-01)

  Complex data visualization design projects often entail collaboration between people with different visualization-related skills. For example, many teams include both designers who create new visualization designs and ...
