The Effect of Minimal Footwear and Midsole Stiffness on Lower Limb Kinematics and Kinetics in Novice and Trained Runners
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-05)Background: The most common injuries in new or novice runners include medial tibial stress syndrome and patellofemoral pain syndrome; both overuse injuries. It is known that novice runners use a rearfoot strike pattern 98% ... -
The Effect of Mitochondrial Biogenesis on Apoptotic Susceptibility in L6 Myoblasts
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-27)Mitochondria play an essential role in cell metabolism as well as apoptotic signaling. Chronic endurance exercise has been shown to increase mitochondrial content in skeletal muscle. Interestingly, endurance exercise has ... -
Effect of N-Oxide Incorporation on Thiazole-Containing Conjugated Polymers
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-24)The use of conjugated polymers (CPs) in organic electronics has been an area of continued interest over the last several years due to many advantages over their inorganic counterparts. Due to the nature of CPs, devices can ... -
Effect of Nanoscopic Particles on the Mesophase Structure of Diblock Copolymers
(American Chemical Society, 2002)Introduction. The fabrication of novel biomimetic photonic and electronic materials requires the manipulation of both organic and inorganic materials at the nanometer length scale. One possible means of achieving this level ... -
Effect of near adds on the variability of accommodative response in myopic children
(Wiley, 2011-03)Purpose: Higher variability of accommodative response (VAR) has been reported in myopes and speculated to be a possible risk factor for the progression of myopia. We investigated whether near adds of +2D and −2D were capable ... -
The effect of non-spherical platinum nanoparticle sizes on the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles with different sizes of 2 nm and 5 nm supported on functionalized high surface area carbon (HSC) have been successfully synthesized with a one-pot synthesis technique in large scale. Of the ... -
Effect of obesity on knee joint biomechanics during gait in young adults
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-04-26)While there are many comorbidities associated with obesity, one of the more poorly understood is knee osteoarthritis through obesity. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics and kinetics of gait and cumulative ... -
The effect of omitted covariates in marginal and partially conditional recurrent event analyses
(Springer, 2019-04-01)There have been many advances in statistical methodology for the analysis of recurrent event data in recent years. Multiplicative semiparametric rate-based models are widely used in clinical trials, as are more general ... -
Effect of organic carbon substrates on denitrification rates in sediment
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Nitrate (NO3-) is a ubiquitous groundwater contaminant in agricultural and wastewater discharge areas. The prediction of microbial mediated NO3- removal in subsurface environments requires an understanding of the rates ... -
The Effect of Organizational Structure on the Adoption of Agile Methodologies_A Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-31)This exploratory case study used observations and interviews to investigate how the structure of an organization impacts its ability to adopt agile software development methodologies. It also aimed to identify the agile ... -
The effect of P2P marketplaces on retailing in the presence of mismatch risk
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-10)Consumers frequently face mismatch risk as goods they purchase may be deemed inappropriate or below expectations. Due to this risk, consumers may avoid purchasing such goods and consequently hurt retailers. Can the emergence ... -
The effect of peat structure on the spatial distribution of biogenic gases within bogs: EFFECT OF PEAT STRUCTURE ON BIOGENIC GAS
(Wiley, 2014-10-30)Northern peatlands are a large source of atmospheric methane (CH4) and both a source and a sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The rate and temporal variability in gas exchanges with peat soils is directly related ... -
Effect of pendant distribution on the dispersancy of maleated ethylene propylene
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)This study describes how changes made to the modification of a polyolefin affect the solution properties of these modified polyolefins in apolar solvents. The modified polyolefins of interest are maleated ethylene-propylene ... -
The Effect of Perceived Feedback-Seeking Motive on Feedback Givers' Effort
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-21)Although people are generally motivated to perform well in their job roles, there is often ambiguity regarding whether they are meeting their organization’s standards. As such, people often seek feedback from others. To ... -
