The purpose of our research study, Precarity in Libraries, is to provide new information on the extent and effects of precarious work in library settings in Canada. Precarious labour structures such…

Objective Estimates indicate that 20–70% of renal transplant recipients are medication non-adherent, significantly increasing the risk of organ rejection. Medication adherence is negatively impacted…

Logvinenko’s color atlas theory provides a structure in which a complete set of color-equivalent material and illumination pairs can be generated to match any given input RGB color. In chromaticity…

Color image calibration is usually done with the aid of a color chart such as the Macbeth ColorChecker containing a set of carefully produced color patches. However, in many consumer applications…

Key life-cycle transitions, such as metamorphosis or migration, can be altered by a variety of external factors, such as climate variation, strong species interactions, and management intervention,…

A new color constancy algorithm called Cubical Gamut Mapping (CGM) is introduced. CGM is computationally very simple, yet performs better than many currently known algorithms in terms of median…

Predicting how the LMS cone response to light reflected from a surface changes with changing lighting conditions is a long-standing and important problem. It arises in white balancing digital imagery…

The performance of the MaxRGB illumination-estimation method for color constancy and automatic white balancing has been reported in the literature as being mediocre at best; however, MaxRGB has…

A new algorithm for evaluating metamer mismatch volumes is introduced. Unlike previous methods, the proposed method places no restrictions on the set of possible object reflectance spectra. Such…

Large multi-spectral datasets such as those created by multi-spectral images require a lot of data storage. Compression of these data is therefore an important problem. A common approach is to use…

Lucy offers her testimony about growing up in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta and the Mikisew Cree First Nation. She also speaks about her Indian Residential School experience and the changes to the…

An introduction to the issue of user privacy concerns arising when libraries use Google Analytics and other user data tracking services, and how the use of these tools can conflict with professional…

Few policy scholars have analyzed prostitution laws and the governance of sex work. This is unfortunate because the policy area is associated with societal problems, and the systematic study of…

Johnny Jones talks about what it means to be Lil’wat and how the Lil’wat Nation is an unceded territory -allowing its citizens to fully govern their land, asserting sovereign right and title over the…

Living things avoid equilibrium using molecular machines. Such microscopic soft-matter objects encounter relatively large friction and fluctuations. We discuss design principles for effective…

This paper contrasts the static neoclassical and the evolutionary views of the economy and economic policy. It responds to Ng's comments on Lipsey's original criticism of third-best theory…

Second-best theory established that a policy's effect on community welfare (or any other objective function) varies with its specific context. In contrast, Ng argues that fulfilling first-best…

This paper discusses the influence on my research and writings of several methodological principles that we, the members of the LSE Staff Seminar on Methodology, Measurement and Testing learned…

Kelly White's ancestory is Musqueam, but she is originally from Cedar, B.C. just outside Snuuneymuxw-otherwise known as, “people of the river.” Kelly later moved to Nanaimo, British Columbia and…

Despite the central role of knowledge in design, there is a dearth of research on the typology, intrinsic structure and composition of design knowledge. This results in an indeterminate…
