Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ... -
Multi-Targeting Derivatives For Alzheimer’s Disease: Utilization of Quinazoline Ring Scaffolds
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)The complex and multifaceted nature of Alzheimer’s pathology has significantly hindered the discovery and development of viable therapeutics, let alone the cause and initiation of the disease. Over the past century, what ... -
Multi-Technique Fusion for Shape-Based Image Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-24)Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is still in its early stages, although several attempts have been made to solve or minimize challenges associated with it. CBIR techniques use such visual contents as color, texture, ... -
Multi-terminal VSC-HVDC Based Offshore Wind-Farms Integration System Operation and Control
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-15)Worldwide, many countries direct billions of dollars into the development of renewable energy sources; especially wind generation, in an effort to relieve global warming effects and other environmental concerns. As a result ... -
A Multi-Tier Distributed fog-based Architecture for Early Prediction of Epileptic Seizures
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-23)Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological problem. With 50 million people living with epilepsy worldwide, about one in 26 people will continue experiencing recurring seizures during their lifetime. Epileptic seizures ... -
Multi-trophic effects of invasive species suppression in a coastal wetland
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-25)Wetlands provide essential habitat for hundreds of species, including many that are of conservation concern in Canada. In southern Ontario, two wetland complexes, Long Point Peninsula and Rondeau Provincial Park, represent ... -
Multi-User File System Search
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-03)Information retrieval research usually deals with globally visible, static document collections. Practical applications, in contrast, like file system search and enterprise search, have to cope with highly dynamic text ... -
Multi-View Imaging of Drosophila Embryos
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)There are several reasons for imaging a single, developing embryo from multiple view points. The embryo is a complex biomechanical system and morphogenesis movements in one region typically produce motions in adjacent ... -

Multiaxial cyclic behaviour and fatigue modelling of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Multiaxial fatigue characteristics of AM30 Mg alloy extrusion are studied through fully-reversed strain controlled cyclic experiments including pure torsional and combined axial-torsional at 0, 45 and 90 phase angle shifts. ... -
Multiaxial Fatigue Characterization and Modeling of AZ31B Magnesium Extrusion
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-04)The demand for lightweight materials in automobiles has been motivated by two factors: fuel economy and air pollution reduction. One of the first steps taken in automotive vehicle weight reduction was the use of aluminum ... -
Multiaxial fatigue response of normalized 1045 steel subjected to periodic overloads, experiments and analysis
(University of Waterloo, 1999) -
A Multiclassifier Approach to Motor Unit Potential Classification for EMG Signal Decomposition
(University of Waterloo, 2006)EMG signal decomposition is the process of resolving a composite EMG signal into its constituent motor unit potential trains (classes) and it can be configured as a classification problem. An EMG signal detected by the ... -
Multicomponent Free Radical Polymerization Model Refinements and Extensions with Depropagation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-29)This thesis is directed towards expanding and refining a free radical multi-component polymerization model. The model considers up to six monomers (unique in the literature), both in bulk and solution polymerization, for ... -

Multicopper Laccase Mimicking Nanozymes with Nucleotides as Ligands
(American Chemical Society, 2017-01-18)Using nanomaterials to achieve functional enzyme mimics (nanozymes) is attractive for both applied and fundamental research. Laccases are multicopper oxidases highly important for biotechnology and environmental remediation. ... -
Multicultural Planning in Mid-Sized Cities
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)Multiculturalism embraces racial and cultural differences within a society. This is a well-established aspect of Canadian life, especially in Canada’s largest cities because the majority of immigrants prefer to settle in ... -
Multiculturalism: The Un/making of an In/visible Un/problematic Citizen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-06)This thesis explores the lived experiences of Chinese Canadian youth (n=9) and their understandings of multiculturalism and racialization in Ontario, Canada. Canada is often cited as the epitome of acceptance and cultural ... -
A Multidimensional Model of Biological Sex
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)This dissertation is about biological sex and how we ought to make sense of it. By biological sex I mean those elements of an individual’s body that are involved in reproduction of the individual’s species; by make sense ... -
Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)Let Fq[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. We employ Wooley’s new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in Fq[t]. These results allow us to apply a ...
