Bilbao Re-Effect: Container + Contents + Context Architectural Strategies for the 21st Century Art Museum
(2016-04-11)Throughout the history of art museums and galleries, the container, its contents, and the surrounding context, have retained a tuneful relationship; yet, in 20th century we witness a major shift, with the container taking ... -
Bile acid-binding capacity of lobster shell-derived chitin, chitosan and chitooligosaccharides
(2017-12-08)Chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide and its derivatives are known to have hypocholesterolaemic properties. In this study, chitin (~96.4% purity) extracted from lobster shells was converted to chitosan, with a ... -
Bilingual Outcomes for a Child with Down Syndrome in the Early French Immersion Program
(2017-12-13)Children with Down syndrome (DS) seem to rarely participate in French Immersion (FI) programs. The purpose of the present study was to examine the longitudinal outcomes of one participant with DS in a New Brunswick FI ... -
The Bill of Lading in an Era of Electronic Commerce: Legal Developments and the Reform Options for Nigeria
(2016-04-11)One of the pervasive effects of the advancement in information and communication technology is a radical shift in the means of conducting business transactions. With the digitalization of the global economy, business ... -
Binaural Integration by Cochlear-Implant Users During Voice Matching Tasks
(2011-09-06)The capacity for bilateral cochlear-implant users, bimodal cochlear-implant users, and normal-hearing control subjects to match auditory information presented independently to both ears was examined. Spondee words were ... -
Binder Effects on Si-Alloy Electrode Performance
(2020-11-16)Si-based anodes have been investigated to improve the energy density of Li-ion batteries due to their high volumetric capacity. However, huge volume changes of Si-based materials can cause severe particle fracture, leading ... -
Binder Jet Printing of a Low-Cost Tool Steel Powder
(2022-12-05)Water atomization is a commonly used process to inexpensively produce large volumes of powders for press-and-sinter powder metallurgy. While the resulting powder particles are typically irregularly shaped and relatively ... -
The Binding of Ishmael: Autobiographical Consciousness and Tragedy in Moby-Dick
(2014-08-25)Since its publication in 1851, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick has been difficult to pin down in any formal sense. The book's experimental style, which seems to violate literary conventions through Ishmael's immediate presence ... -
Binocular Inhibition: Using MEG and EEG to measure Binocular Integration in the Occipital Cortex
(2019-03-25)Purpose: To determine if Binocular Inhibition and Binocular Summation are measurable using MEG, and explore their origins in the brain. Methods: Binocular Inhibition was induced in 8 normal, healthy subjects using a ... -
BINOCULARITY OUTCOMES OF LASER ABLATION VERSUS ANTI-VEGF TREATMENTS IN RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY
(2018-09-04)Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of visual impairment in prematurely born children. Two treatment options for severe ROP utilize laser and/or anti-VEGF injections. We aim to determine the influence of ... -
Bio-optical properties of some phytoplankton functional types.
