The effects of filamentary Ni, graphene and lithium amide (LiNH2) additives on the dehydrogenation behavior of mechano-chemically synthesized crystalline manganese borohydride (Mn(BH4)2) and its solvent filtration/extraction
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Dehydrogenation properties of mechano-chemically synthesized crystalline Mn(BH4)2 hydride without and with ultrafine filamentary carbonyl nickel (Ni), graphene and LiNH2 were investigated. It is reported for the first time ... -
The effects of flagellar hook compliance on motility of monotrichous bacteria: A modeling study
(AIP Publishing, 2012-06)A crucial structure in the motility of flagellated bacteria is the hook, which connects the flagellum filament to the motor in the cell body. Early mathematical models of swimming bacteria assume that the helically shaped ... -
Effects of fluorine on the solubilities of Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf minerals in highly fluxed water-saturated haplogranitic melts
(University of Waterloo, 2012-11-01)The effect of fluorine on the solubilities of Mn-columbite (MnNb2O6), Mn-tantalite (MnTa2O6), zircon (ZrSiO4) and hafnon (HfSiO4) were determined in highly fluxed, water-saturated haplogranitic melts at 800 to 1000 °C and ... -
Effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on laminar separation bubbles
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)The effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on the flow over a NACA 0018 airfoil are studied experimentally in a wind tunnel facility. A parametric study is performed over a range of chord Reynolds numbers from 100 000 ... -
Effects of Gender and Gaze Direction on the Visual Exploration of Male and Female Bodies
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-13)The present study used eye-tracking to investigate whether a model’s gaze direction influences the way observers look at the entire body of the model and how this interacts with the observer and the model’s gender. ... -
Effects of GFRP Reinforcement on the Compressive Behaviour of Square SPF Timber Columns
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-22)Wood structural elements are gaining popularity of use through greater availability of engineered wood products and a more sustainability focused construction industry. Stringent modern codes and extreme load cases (e.g., ... -
Effects of graphene nano-platelets (GNPs) on the microstructural characteristics and textural development of an Al-Mg alloy during friction-stir processing
(Elsevier, 2018-02-15)The aim of this research is to characterize the unique microstructural features of Al-matrix nanocomposites reinforced by graphene nano-platelets (GNPs), fabricated by multi-pass friction-stir processing (FSP). During this ... -
Effects of Heat Stress on HSP70, Sarcolipin, and Phospholamban Content and SERCA Function in Female and Male Rat Skeletal Muscle
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-25)Regulation of cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) levels in muscle is vital to the health and function of muscle due to its involvement in various signaling pathways and cell functions. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) ... -
Effects of high-fat feeding on skeletal muscle insulin signalling in sarcolipin knockout mice
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with the onset of diet-induced obesity, which is currently on the rise worldwide. T2DM is typically characterized by insulin resistance in peripheral tissues such as ... -
The Effects of High-Fat Feeding on Synaptic Function in Female Rats and Their Offspring
(University of Waterloo, 2014-11-11)The prevalence of obesity has been increasing across the globe at an unprecedented rate, and obesity is associated with a number of diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and certain types of cancer. In recent years, ... -
The effects of Hip Abductor Fatigue on Low Back Pain Development during Prolonged Standing
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-13)The goal of this thesis was to use hip abductor fatigue to perturb those who do and do not develop pain from standing and determine changes in muscular and postural responses. Forty young healthy participants performed ... -
The Effects of Home Exercise in Older Women With Vertebral Fractures: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
(Oxford, 2020-04)Background Regular exercise is advocated in osteoporosis guidelines to prevent fractures. Few studies have evaluated the effect of exercise on functional performance, posture, and other outcomes that are important to ... -
