Effect of chain stiffness on the entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a polymer melt
(2019)Entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a monodisperse polymer melt and its effect on surface tension is examined using self-consistent field theory (SCFT). In order to assess the dependence on chain stiffness, ... -
Effect of climate change and mining on hydrological connectivity of surficial layers in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
(Wiley, 2018-09-28)This research analyses the impact of climate change and surface mining activities on the hydrologic connectivity of surficial (soil and geological) layers located in a watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. Surface ... -
Effect of Club Selection and Clubhead Speed on the Knee Joint during the Golf Swing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-23)Golf is a sport that can be played throughout one’s lifetime providing an opportunity for competition, socialization, and improved physical activity. Golf is commonly recommended by physicians to those with knee ailments, ... -
Effect of co-ions and counter-ions on mAb capture with weak cation exchange membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-20)Cation exchange chromatography (CEX) has risen as a promising alternative to Protein-A affinity chromatography for the capture of monoclonal antibody (mAb). mAb capture with CEX works on the basis of electrostatic interactions ... -
The Effect of Coarse Gravel on Cohesive Sediment Entrapment in an Annular Flume
(University of Waterloo, 2014-03-07)The amount and type of cohesive sediment found in gravel river beds can have important implications for the health of aquatic biota, surface/groundwater interactions and water quality. Due to landscape disturbances in the ... -
Effect of coating weight on fiber laser welding of Galvanneal-coated 22MnB5 press hardening steel
(Elsevier, 2018-03-15)Tensile strengths of up to 1.5 GPa and fracture elongation of 8% in press-hardening steel (PHS) opened up a great opportunity to improve the crash performance of vehicles. However, due to the increased susceptibility to ... -
The Effect of Cold Spray Coating on Fatigue Life of Magnesium Alloy, AZ31B
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-27)Wrought magnesium alloys are considered attractive candidates for structural members in automotive and aerospace industries due to their high specific strength. Although new processes have helped to produce high purity ... -
The effect of cold spray coating parameters on the residual stress and fatigue performance of magnesium alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-14)Global warming, dwindling fossil fuels, and the low efficiency of alternative energy sources such as batteries and solar panels compared to traditional carbon-based energy sources, have shifted the industrial design paradigm ... -
Effect of combined sodium arsenite and cadmium chloride treatment on heat shock protein gene expression in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-26)Sodium arsenite and cadmium chloride are two widespread environmental toxicants which have deleterious effects on living organisms. At the cellular level, sodium arsenite and cadmium chloride cause oxidative stress, ... -
