AN INHERENTLY SAFER APPROACH FOR NONTRADITIONAL DUST EXPLOSION RISK REDUCTION
(2016-07-04)Dust explosions continue to occur in industrial processes that handle combustible powders. Considerable research is therefore conducted with the objectives of both preventing the occurrence and mitigating the consequences ... -
Inherently Safer Design Protocol for Process Hazard Analysis
(2020-04-14)Inherently safer design (ISD) is a component of industrial safety that focusses on the elimination and reduction of hazards using four principles – minimization, substitution, moderation and simplification. Process hazard ... -
Inhibition of Return for Endogenous Colour Cues
(2017-12-18)Inhibition of Return (IOR) is a phenomenon of attention where responses are slower toward a recently attended location, compared with novel locations. Recently, coloured signals have been used endogenously (MacInnes, Kruger ... -
Inhibition of Single and Mixed Species Biofilms Formed by Listeria monocytogenes and Food Related Bacteria by Natural Compounds
(2015)Pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, are easily transferred from biofilms on processing equipment to foods, causing many foodborne outbreaks and illnesses. The antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects of ... -
Inhibition of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex (MCUcx) as a neuroprotective strategy for ischemic stroke
(2023-08-03)Ischemic stroke, typically caused by a clot that blocks a major cerebral artery, is a leading cause of death and disability. Despite intense effort, a viable protective strategy has yet to emerge. Mitochondrial dysfunction, ... -
Inhibition of TRPML1 by Lysosomal Adenosine Accumulation Involved in ADA Diseases
(2017-05-11)Adenosine plays important roles in cells, and impaired adenosine homeostasis has been associated with numerous human diseases. Lysosomes are referred as the cellular recycling centers which generate adenosine by breaking ... -
INHIBITIONS OF RETURN: TWO INHIBITORY ORIENTING BIASES
(2021-08-17)Inhibition of return (IOR) is an inhibitory aftereffect of visuospatial orienting, typically resulting in slower responses to targets presented in an area that has been recently attended. This thesis begins by briefly ... -
INHIBITORY CONSEQUENCES OF GRASPING MOVEMENTS: IS GRASPING THE SAME AS REACHING?
(2016-08-22)Studies have shown that past actions can impact present and future actions. More specifically, inhibition of return (IOR) is a phenomenon in which participants respond slower to previously attended areas compared to novel ... -
Injection drug use among youth: An exploration of key factors influencing safer and/or unsafe practices
(2013-08-26)Background: Much of the research on injection drug use practices has focused on adult populations and relatively little is known about safer and/or unsafe injection practices among youth who use injection drugs (YWID). ... -
Inlaid Microfluidics: A Novel Approach to Optical Measurements on Lab-on-Chip Devices
(2020-12-18)A novel type of microfluidic optical cell is presented here that inlays black poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) into a clear PMMA substrate to realize an isolated optical channel with microlitre volumes. Optical measurements ... -
The Innovation of Ideation and Ideology : An Analytical Framework and Application to the Cases of Sabbateanism and Zionism
(1973)This thesis represents an attempt to develop further the notions of "proaction" and "reaction" as alluded to by the author and Professor G. Zollschan elsewhere (85). Proaction (i.e., the creation of society by man) and ... -
INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF TIRE DERIVED AGGREGATE (TDA) FOR BURIED PIPES AND CULVERTS
(2020-09-11)Social well being and economic prosperity are tied together in a mutually supportive and interdependent scheme. Achieving prosperity is highly related to the socio-economic well being and cannot be achieved without strong ... -
Innovative Clinical Tools for Objectively Measuring Longitudinal Changes in Knee Arthroplasty Patient Gait Kinematics Awaiting Surgery
(2024-04-22)Current clinical management of end-stage knee OA lacks objective functional assessments of patients. Markerless motion capture systems are a new technology that have the potential to facilitate efficient, well-integrated ... -
