Replication Data for: "Automated component enumeration in gas chromatography - mass spectrometry data with projection pursuit analysis"
— 2021-08-26 Several matrices of excised GC-MS chromatograms, and one tensor of GC×GC-TOFMS data. For GC-MS data, rows correspond to observations, and columns to mass channels. For GC×GC-TOFMS data, the first mode is second dimension mass spectral acquisitions, followed by first dimension chromatographic modulations, and mass channels respectively. GC×GC-TOFMS data is a tensor, stored as a .mat file.

Randomised Controlled Trial to Investigate the Effect of Parental Presence at Intensive Care Unit to Ward Transfer Bedside Rounds on Parental Anxiety and Children's Safety
— 2013 This study is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of parental presence at transfer rounds on parental anxiety and patient safety following transfer from the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) to the ward. The investigators tested the hypothesis that parental involvement in the child's transfer, with the option of peer support, will result in measurable reductions in medication errors, unplanned nutritional and feeding management, and parental anxiety after transfer as compared to the control group.

SSC_B
— 2008 The Shanghai Spoken Corpus (SSC) is a collection of samples of the Chinese dialect spoken in the Municipality of Shanghai, China. The Shanghai Spoken Corpus project has been funded by a research grant from the China Institute, University of Alberta and funding from the Department of Linguistics, University of Alberta. The corpus has been developed by Jiali Mao and John Newman in the Department of Linguistics, University of Alberta. The present version of the corpus consists of spoken data collected in China and Canada (see About the corpus).

Social Cognitive Theory, leisure time physical activity, and mental health in Chinese university students
— 2018-02-12 This data was collected in China with undergraduate students. The variables of interest are leisure time physical activity, self-efficacy, social support, intention to be physically active, access to places to be physically active, self-construal, subjective well-being (affect and satisfaction with life). This data is reflective of results of an EFA done to select appropriate variables for this population. Therefore, 4 items have been removed from the self-construal scale, only positive, negative, and low-arousal items are included in the Affect Valuation Index, and item 5 has been removed from the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Please contact the researcher for more information.

Accurate Fact Harvesting from Natural Language Text in Wikipedia with Lector.
— 2016 Many approaches have been introduced recently to auto- matically create or augment Knowledge Graphs (KGs) with facts extracted from online resources such as Wikipedia, par- ticularly from its structured components like the infoboxes. Although these structures are valuable, they represent only a fraction of the actual information expressed in the articles. In this work, we quantify the volume of highly accurate facts that can be harvested with high precision from Wikipedia text articles using information extraction techniques boot- strapped from the entities and relations already in a KG. Our experimental evaluation, performed on facts about en- tities in the domain of people, reveals we can augment such Freebase relations by more than 10%, with facts whose ac- curacy are over 95%. Moreover, that vast majority of these facts are missing from the infoboxes, YAGO and DBpedia.

CHARRP Public Opinion Survey
— 2021-05-03 We described public views toward harm reduction among Canadian adults and tested a social exposure model predicting support for these contentious services, drawing on theories in the morality policy, intergroup relations, addiction, and media communication literatures. A quota sample of 4645 adults (18+ years), randomly drawn from an online research panel and stratified to match age and sex distributions of adults within and across Canadian provinces, was recruited in June 2018. Participants completed survey items assessing support for harm reduction for people who use drugs (PWUD) and for seven harm reduction interventions. Additional items assessed exposure to media coverage on harm reduction, and scales assessing stigma toward PWUD (α = .72), personal familiarity with PWUD (α = .84), and disease model beliefs about addiction (α = 0.79). Most (64%) Canadians supported harm reduction (provincial estimates = 60% - 73%). Five of seven interventions received majority support, including: outreach (79%), naloxone (72%), drug checking (70%), needle distribution (60%) and supervised drug consumption (55%). Low-threshold opioid agonist treatment and safe inhalation interventions received less support (49% and 44%). Our social exposure model, adjusted for respondent sex, household income, political views, and education, exhibited good fit and accounted for 17% of variance in public support for harm reduction. Personal familiarity with PWUD and disease model beliefs about addiction were directly associated with support (βs = .07 and -0.10, respectively), and indirectly influenced public support via stigmatized attitudes toward PWUD (βs = 0.01 and -0.01, respectively). Strategies to increase support for harm reduction could problematize certain disease model beliefs (e.g., “There are only two possibilities for an alcoholic or drug addict – permanent abstinence or death”) and creating opportunities to reduce social distance between PWUD, the public, and policy makers.

Historical Prairie Postcards in RDF/XML
— 2022-05-25 This is a set of RDF/XML metadata records for historical prairie postcards. These were transformed from the original MODS records using the Library of Congress mods2rdf stylesheet. This base file was used as the basis of several visualizations and enhancements demonstrating the power of linked data, and was presented on at the Access Conference in Toronto, ON in 2015.

Research Data Management Survey, University of Lethbridge
— 2019-02-09 In October, 2018 the University of Lethbridge Library conducted a Research Data Management (RDM) survey of faculty, post-docs and graduate students in collaboration with the University's Office of Research and Innovation Services (ORIS). The survey contained locally customized versions of three generic survey instruments provided by the Portage Canadian RDM Survey Consortium. They were: (1) Engineering and Science RDM Survey; (2) RDM Survey Health and Medical Sciences, and; (3) RDM Survey for Humanities and Social Sciences.
