Defining gameful experience as a psychological state caused by gameplay: Replacing the term ‘Gamefulness’ with three distinct constructs
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Background and Aim Gamefulness is commonly cited as the primary goal of gamification, a family of approaches employed in education, business, healthcare, government, and elsewhere. However, gamefulness is defined ... -
Defining Haptic Experience: Foundations for Understanding, Communicating, and Evaluating HX
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Haptic technology is maturing, with expectations and evidence that it will contribute to user experience (UX). However, we have very little understanding about how haptic technology can influence people’s experience. ... -
Defining Normative Upper Limb Kinematics during Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) Task Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-24)The Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an evaluation tool used in the return to work process to guide treatment and decision making. An FCE involves testing the functional abilities of an individual to determine their ... -
Defining the Ideal Applicant: Examining patrol officer perspectives on police organizational recruitment standards
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-16)Previous research has examined the psychological, psychophysical, and physical traits of police officers and police recruits, however little is known about individuals who aspire or intend to become a police officer. By ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-09)Over the past decade and a half, public debate on the issue of torture has increased dramatically, with legal, political, and cultural discourses offering many, often conflicting, perspectives on the meaning and function ... -
Defining, Demanding, and Developing the Critical Thinker
(University of Waterloo, 2013)This thesis examines critical thinking (CT) in education. Research includes a comprehensive literature review, focused on defining CT, understanding CT expectations in education, and expounding on how CT is best developed. ... -
Deformation History of the Black Bay Fault, Northwest Territories, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-10)The Black Bay Fault is a major Paleoproterozoic, NE-SW-trending, crustal-scale feature that separates different tectonometamorphic domains of the southern Rae craton in the Canadian Shield. This structure extends from the ... -
Deformation theory of nearly G₂-structures and nearly G₂ instantons
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)We study two different deformation theory problems on manifolds with a nearly G₂-structure. The first involves studying the deformation theory of nearly G₂ manifolds. These are seven dimensional manifolds admitting real ... -
Deformation-Driven Element Packing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-11)A packing is an arrangement of geometric elements within a container region in the plane. Elements are united to communicate the overall container shape, but each is large enough to be appreciated individually. Creating a ... -
Defragmenting Identity in the Life Narratives of Iraqi North American Women
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-02)This dissertation examines contemporary Iraqi North American women’s life narratives within the frame of postcolonial autobiography theory. Through narrating their experiences of oppression, war, and displacement these ... -
Degradable starch nanoparticle assisted ethanol precipitation of DNA
(Elsevier, 2014-04-18)Precipitation of DNA from a large volume of aqueous solution is an important step in many molecular biology and analytical chemistry experiments. Currently, this is mainly achieved by ethanol precipitation, where a long-term ... -
Degradation and Toxicity Assay During Electrocatalysis of Chlorobenzene in Aqueous Solution
(ESG, 2015-12-01)The degradation and toxicity assay on a three-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) of organic pollutants were described in this paper. Aqueous chlorobenzene (CB, 50 mg/L) was chosen as model pollutant and C. vulgaris ... -
Degradation of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Under Freeze Start-up Operation
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an electrochemical device used for the production of power, which is a key for the transition towards green and renewable power delivery devices for mobile, stationary ... -
Degradation of Chlorinated Butenes and Butadienes by Granular Iron
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-18)Sites where 2-chlorobutadiene-1,3 (chloroprene) and 2,3-dichlorobutadiene-1,3 (DCBD) are synthesized for use in chlorobutyl rubber have the potential to release a mixture of at least five chlorinated butenes and butadienes ... -
Degraded Reference Image Quality Assessment
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Images/videos are playing a more and more important role in the 21st century. The perceived quality of visual content often degrades during the process of acquisition, storage, transmission, display and rendering. Since ... -
Degree Spectra of Unary relations on ω and ζ
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-13)Let X be a unary relation on the domain of (ω,<). The degree spectrum of X on (ω,<) is the set of Turing degrees of the image of X in all computable presentations of (ω,<). Many results are known about the types of degree ... -
Degrees of Categoricity and the Isomorphism Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-12)In this thesis, we study notions of complexity related to computable structures. We first study degrees of categoricity for computable tree structures. We show that, for any computable ordinal $\alpha$, there exists a ... -
