A Parametric Study on Soil-Structure Interaction Mechanisms through A 3D Finite Element Numerical Modelling of Palladium Drive Integral Abutment Bridge in Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)The term “Integral Abutment Bridges” is used broadly all over the world these days. While the expansion joints used in bridges were once a scientifically proved cure to the problem of natural expansion and contraction, ... -
Parametric Yield of VLSI Systems under Variability: Analysis and Design Solutions
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Variability has become one of the vital challenges that the designers of integrated circuits encounter. variability becomes increasingly important. Imperfect manufacturing process manifest itself as variations in the ... -
Parental Depressive Symptoms and Physical-Mental Multimorbidity in Children
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-25)Background: Children with a chronic physical illness represent a substantial proportion of the child population. These children are at an elevated risk for mental illness (i.e., physical-mental multimorbidity). Additionally, ... -
Parents, employment, gender and well-being: a time use study
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)Transformations in the economy have led to changes in employment practices that can create a mismatch between parents’ work schedules and family routines. At the same time, approaches to child-rearing have become more ... -
Parents’ Motivations and Experiences in a Family-Based Management Program
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-21)Abstract Background: Family-based interventions have shown to be effective in the treatment of childhood obesity. Numerous studies have shed light on the importance of involving parents in the treatment of childhood obesity, ... -
Park Management Plans: Understanding Visitor and Tourism Policy

Parkdale People's Palace: Rethinking a Heritage Church as Revitalized Social Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-22)In recent decades, Canada’s church buildings have been steadily declining in number and use due to the increasing secularization of society and the diminished role of Christianity in the country. Rather than demolishing ... -
The Parkdale Public Library is for Us
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-31)The Parkdale Public Library in Toronto is an illustration of what remains of democracy today. While government is deeming libraries irrelevant with their funding cuts, and privatized cafes are taking over as ‘public’ ... -
Parking Functions and Related Combinatorial Structures.
(University of Waterloo, 2001)The central topic of this thesis is parking functions. We give a survey of some of the current literature concerning parking functions and focus on their interaction with other combinatorial objects; namely noncrossing ... -
Parks and Recreation Master Plans in Ontario: Determining Factors that Lead to Implementation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-17)Recreation planning occurs in many Ontario municipalities, yet there is little research on the factors leading to successful implementation. Recreation departments are often asked to do more with less, which is difficult ... -
Parks for all: Information on accessibility and associated experiences.
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-29)This thesis examines the accuracy of accessibility information for parks and the related experiences of visitors. It explores whether or not there is a gap between the information that is made available to the public and ... -
