Vaccine Hesitancy in Canada: Scope, Determinants, and Impact of Trust in Parents of Two-Year Old Children
(2023-02-22)Vaccine hesitancy and trust are two factors impacting vaccine decisions for parents of preschoolers in Canada. However, previous research has left gaps in determining the prevalence and predictors of vaccine decisions ... -
Validating Local Transit Accessibility Measures Using Transit Ridershp
(2020-03-05)Local transit accessibility measures are important tools used by planners to understand the effects of changes to public transit systems. Several local transit accessibility measures exist in the literature; however, it ... -
Validating the stage of maturity at harvest for barley, oat and triticale for swath grazing
(2021-08-17)Two experiments were conducted to evaluate stage of maturity at harvest recommendation for barley, oat and triticale in a swath grazing system. Experiment 1 evaluated the in situ disappearance of dry matter (DM) and neutral ... -
VALIDATION AND RELIABILITY OF INERTIAL SENSORS TO MEASURE PELVIC ORIENTATION IN HEALTHY ADULTS
(2022-05-19)ABSTRACT Introduction In clinical practice, the degree of pelvic tilt is routinely evaluated because of its relationship to pelvic, spinal, and lower limb pathologies. The most common approach for assessing pelvic tilt in ... -
Validation and use of novel techniques to study the impacts of large-scale environmental changes on the health of wild waterfowl
(2022-08-25)Wild animals are experiencing an increasing number and magnitude of stressors associated with the rapidly changing world. Repeated or prolonged stressors can trigger sustained elevations of glucocorticoids, resulting in ... -
Validation of a portable force plate for in-field measurements of balance and postural sway
(2022-03-21)Objective: To determine how balance outcomes measured using a portable force platform (FP4, Biometrics Inc) compare to balance measurements from an in-floor mounted force plate (6090-15, Bertec Corp). Methods: Twenty ... -
Validation of an ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC™/MS/MS) method for forensic toxicological analysis : Confirmation and quantitation of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and its congeners in forensic samples
(2006-04-18)The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Forensic Laboratory Services (FLS) needed a method to confirm positive lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) immunoassay screening results. As a result, an ultra performance liquid ... -
Validation of FABDEM, a global bare-earth elevation model, against UAV-lidar derived elevation in a complex forested mountain catchment
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2023)Space-based, global-extent digital elevation models (DEMs) are key inputs to many Earth sciences applications. However, many of these applications require the use of a 'bare-Earth' DEM versus a digital surface model (DSM), ... -
Validation of Subject Specific Computed Tomography-based Finite Element Models of the Human Proximal Tibia using Full-field Experimental Displacement Measurements from Digital Volume Correlation
(2021-03-18)Quantitative computed tomography-based finite element (QCT-FE) modeling is a computational tool for predicting bone’s response to applied load, and is used by musculoskeletal researchers to better understand bone mechanics ... -
Validation of the environmental analysis of mobility questionnaire (EAMQ) : comparison of complex walking tasks and the EAMQ among community dwelling older adults
(2008)The primary objective of the study was to address two aspects of construct validity (i.e., face and criterion validity) of the Environmental Analysis of Mobility Questionnaire (EAMQ). The EAMQ is a self-report questionnaire, ... -
