Can dietary intake influence perception of and measured appearance? A systematic review : dietary intake and appearance
(2015-03) - Journal itemAppearance-based interventions have had some success in reducing smoking and sun exposure. Appearance may also motivate dietary behavior change if it was established that dietary improvement had a positive impact on ... -
Can fear conditioning repel California sea lions from fishing activities?
(2017-10) - Journal articleMarine mammal interactions with fisheries create conflicts that can threaten human safety, economic interests and marine mammal survival. A deterrent that capitalizes on learning mechanisms, like fear conditioning, may ... -
Can females choose to avoid mating failure in the seed bug Lygaeus simulans?
(2017-07) - Journal articleIt is becoming increasingly clear that copulation does not necessarily always lead to offspring production in many organisms, despite fertilization success presumably being under both strong natural and sexual selection. ... -
Can human experts predict solubility better than computers?
(2017-12-13) - Journal articleIn this study, we design and carry out a survey, asking human experts to predict the aqueous solubility of druglike organic compounds. We investigate whether these experts, drawn largely from the pharmaceutical industry ... -
Can macrophyte harvesting from eutrophic water close the loop on nutrient loss from agricultural land?
(2015-04-01) - Journal articleEutrophication is a major water pollution issue and can lead to excessive growth of aquatic plant biomass (APB). However, the assimilation of nutrients into APB provides a significant target for their recovery and reuse, ... -
Can methods applied in medicine be used to summarize and disseminate conservation research?
(2004-09) - Journal articleTo ensure that the best scientific evidence is available to guide conservation action, effective mechanisms for communicating the results of research are necessary. In medicine, an evidence-based approach assists doctors ... -
Can people experience posttraumatic growth after committing violent acts?
(2016-11) - Journal articleThe concept of post-traumatic growth refers to the positive psychological changes that some people experience as a result of their struggle with highly stressful and often traumatic circumstances. Research into post-traumatic ... -
Can planet formation resolve the dust budget crisis in high-redshift galaxies?
(2017-12) - Journal articleThe process of planet formation offers a rich source of dust production via grain growth in protostellar discs, and via grinding of larger bodies in debris disc systems. Chemical evolution models, designed to follow the ... -
Can Punishment Bring Peace? Penal Substitution Revisited
(2005-02) - Journal article -
Can quantum gas microscopes directly image exotic glassy phases?
(2016-08-30) - Conference posterWith the advent of spatially resolved fluorescence imaging in quantum gas microscopes (see e.g. [1]), it is now possible to directly image glassy phases and probe the local effects of disorder in a highly controllable ... -
Can reassurance hurt?
(2014-11) - Journal articleCan you remember how many times your dentist has reassured you, for example, during an anaesthetic injection? Do you suspect that the phrase from the dentist ‘It won’t hurt’ only serves as a warning that it is going to be ... -
Can substorm particle acceleration be applied to solar flares?
(2017-10-20) - Journal articleUsing test particle studies in the electromagnetic fields of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of magnetic reconnection, we study the energization of charged particles in the context of the standard ... -
Can the information content of share repurchases improve the accuracy of equity premium predictions?
(2014) - Journal article -
Can the removal of molecular cloud envelopes by external feedback affect the efficiency of star formation?
(2017-05) - Journal articleWe investigate how star formation efficiency can be significantly decreased by the removal of a molecular cloud’s envelope by feedback from an external source. Feedback from star formation has difficulties halting the ... -
Can topological transitions be exploited to engineer intrinsically quench-resistant wires?
(2018-06-01) - Journal articleIn this paper, we investigate whether by synthesizing superconductors that are tuned to a topological, node-reconstruction transition point, we could create superconducting wires that are intrinsically resilient to quenches. ... -
Can we predict the global magnetic topology of a pre-main-sequence star from its position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram?
(2012-08-20) - Journal articleZDI studies have shown that the magnetic fields of T Tauri stars can be significantly more complex than a simple dipole and can vary markedly between sources. We collect and summarize the magnetic field topology information ... -
Canada and the green economy
(Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 2012-10) - ReportCanada has a complex relationship with the global efforts to move to a green economy. Its policymakers and business leaders need to balance the country’s vast natural resources and the economic growth that they can foster, ... -

Canalization of genetic and pharmacological perturbations in developing primary neuronal activity patterns
(2015) - Journal articleThe function of the nervous system depends on the integrity of synapses and the patterning of electrical activity in brain circuits. The rapid advances in genome sequencing reveal a large number of mutations disrupting ... -
Cancellative and Malcev presentations for finite Rees index subsemigroups and extensions
(2008-02) - Journal articleIt is known that, for semigroups, the property of admitting a finite presentation is preserved on passing to subsemigroups and extensions of finite Rees index. The present paper shows that the same holds true for Malcev, ...
