A set of multivalent polyhydroxylated acetamidoazepanes based on ethylene glycol, glucoside, or cyclodextrin scaffolds was prepared. The compounds were assessed against plant, mammalian, and…

High temporal resolution modelling of energy systems often requires modelling a number of sub-periods, with the end condition of one sub-period being used to seed the next. When storage is modelled a…

Numerous past studies investigate the relationship between volatility and other relevant variables, e.g., asset jumps, liquidity factors. However, empirical studies examining the link between…

Canada is projected to miss its 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target. Consequently, there remain federal policies that have been announced but not yet implemented that aim to close the 2030 “…

The retaining glycosyltransferase GalNAc-T2 is a member of a large family of human polypeptide GalNActransferases that is responsible for the post-translational modification of many cell-surface…

The challenge of balancing biodiversity protection with economic growth is epitomized by the development of renewable and unconventional energy, whose adoption is aimed at stemming the impacts of…

1. Rapid system‐wide changes triggered by predators can pose considerable challenges to people. In the Northeast Pacific, the recovery of sea otters Enhydra lutris following their extirpation due to…

Human activities frequently create structures that alter the connectivity among habitats or act as barriers to the natural movement of animals. Movement allows individuals to access different…

South Asian children and parents have been shown to have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) relative to white individuals. To design interventions aimed at addressing the comparatively…

Momentum is building behind a new approach to Crown-Indigenous relations that is based on reconciliation, shared decision-making, and nation-to-nation engagement. In British Columbia’s Nicola…

Gal‐PUGNAc (see picture), a highly selective inhibitor for β‐hexosaminidases HEXA and HEXB is cell‐permeable and modulates the activity of HEXA and HEXB in tissue culture, increasing ganglioside GM2…

On this episode of Below the Radar, our guest host, Jackie Obungah, is joined by Ayaan Ismaciil and Natasha Mhuriro. They discuss the importance of starting a Black in BC Mutual Aid fund during the…

Language is not neutral or used in a vacuum; language is one of the most powerful tools we have as humans that incorporates personal assumptions, social norms, and cultural ideologies. It is…

To understand fundamental mechanisms associated with post-flight orthostatic intolerance we investigated the interaction between the cardiovascular and postural functions before and after 60 days of…

Third-generation sequencing technologies from companies such as Oxford Nanopore and Pacific Biosciences have paved the way for building more contiguous and potentially gap-free assemblies. The larger…

On this episode of Below the Radar, our host Am Johal is joined by Amal Ghazal, Director of the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies at SFU. They sat down to speak about her role at SFU and her…

Membrane contact sites between the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM) provide a direct conduit for small molecule transfer and signaling between the two largest…

Snow algae blooms contain bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic organisms. We surveyed 55 alpine snow algae blooms, collecting a total of 68 samples, from 12 mountains in the Coast Range of British…

In single-phase ac/dc applications where reliability and/or power-density are critical, active power decoupling (APD) circuits can be employed to reduce the required capacitance on the dc-link.…

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) were monitored at five sites spanning the upstream–downstream extent of the Mackenzie Delta channel network during May 2010, capturing the historically under-…
