The Optometric Management of Concussion
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-31)Traumatic brain injury is a major public health problem that affects millions of people annually and hundreds of people experience brain injury daily. Many of these individuals develop visual symptoms. Optometrists play a ... -
Optometry Outreach in Indigenous Communities in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)Introduction: Inuit, Métis, and First Nations, the three main Indigenous groups within Canada, face disproportionate barriers to access for primary eye and vision care. Optometrists visit rural and remote Indigenous ... -
ORCID education: a departmental approach
(Emerald, 2021-03-22)Purpose This paper aims to provide a case study of an ORCID promotion at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science, providing context for the importance of education in ORCID outreach. Design/ ... -
An Ordered Bag Semantics for SQL
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Semantic query optimization is an important issue in many contexts of databases including information integration, view maintenance and data warehousing and can substantially improve performance, especially in today's ... -
Ordered Interval Routing Schemes
(University of Waterloo, 2004)An <i>Interval Routing Scheme (IRS)</i> represents the routing tables in a network in a space-efficient way by labeling each vertex with an unique integer address and the outgoing edges at each vertex with disjoint ... -
Ordered Micro-/Nanostructure Based Humidity Sensor for Fuel Cell Application
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)Humidity sensors are one of the most widely used sensors in commercial and industrial applications for environmental monitoring and controlling. Although related technology have been studied intensively, humidity sensing ... -
Ordering and Reverse Ordering Mechanisms of Triblock Copolymers in the Presence of Solvent
(MDPI, 2009-02-27)Self-consistent field theory is used to study the self-assembly of a triblock copolymer melt. Two different external factors (temperature and solvent) are shown to affect the self-assembly. Either one or two-step self-assembly ... -
Ordering mechanisms in triblock copolymers
(American Physical Society, 2004)The ordering mechanisms for an ABC triblock copolymer system are studied using self-consistent field theory. We find a two-phase mechanism, similar to what has been suggested experimentally two-step mecha- nism. Analysis ... -
Ordering, Indexing, and Searching Semantic Data: A Terminology Aware Index Structure
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-16)Indexing data for efficient search capabilities is a core problem in many domains of computer science. As applications centered around semantic data sources become more common, the need for more sophisticated indexing ... -
The Ordinal Serial Encoding Model: Serial Memory in Spiking Neurons
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)In a world dominated by temporal order, memory capable of processing, encoding and subsequently recalling ordered information is very important. Over the decades this memory, known as serial memory, has been extensively ... -
Ordinary and Generalized Circulation Algebras for Regular Matroids
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Let E be a finite set, and let R(E) denote the algebra of polynomials in indeterminates (x_e)_{e in E}, modulo the squares of these indeterminates. Subalgebras of R(E) generated by homogeneous elements of degree 1 have ... -
The ordinary Niagara Falls
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-11)Tourism is a practice traditionally geared away from the ordinary; by virtue of its opposition from everyday life tourism is an act through which we see and do extraordinary things (Urry, 1992). Over time, tourism scholars ... -
Organic and Inorganic Nanostructured Materials as Electrodes for Hybrid Capacitors
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Global energy demands are expected to continuously grow in the coming decades, while the dominant source of energy remains finite fossil fuels. In addition to this challenge, excessive consumption of fossil fuels has ... -
Organic matter decomposition at a constructed fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region in Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-13)Resource mining and extraction in northern Alberta has resulted in substantial disturbances across a variety of ecosystems, including fen peatlands. Provincial regulations require companies to reclaim disturbed areas to ... -
Organic Semiconductor Detector for Large Area Digital Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-09)Organic semiconductor technology has gained attention in both the sensor and display markets due to its low cost and simple fabrication techniques. The ability to fabricate organic semiconductor devices such as photodetectors ... -
