Exposure and Perceptions of Caffeinated Energy Drink Marketing among Youth and Young Adults in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-30)BACKGROUND: Consumption of caffeinated energy drinks (CEDs) has become increasingly prevalent among youth and young adults, which is concerning given the association with adverse health effects and other risky behaviours. ... -
Exposure to fad diet advertising among youth and young adults in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Background: The prevalence of obesity in Canada continues to increase. Although many Canadians report trying to manage their weight, few follow dietary guidelines recommended by health authorities. In contrast, many consumers ... -
Expression Inactivating Mechanisms of Major Histocompatibility Class I Alleles in Melanogrammus aeglefinus
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)Melanogrammus aeglefinus, commonly known as haddock, is a commercially important marine fish species closely related to cod. Preliminary investigations into the immune function of this species has revealed several unique ... -
Expression of photosynthetic genes and possible regulatory mechanisms in the single-cell C4 species, Bienertia sinuspersici
(University of Waterloo, 2012-03-15)Bienertia sinuspersici is one of three terrestrial plants identified to perform C4 photosynthesis in a single chlorenchyma cell by compartmentation of organelles and photosynthetic enzymes. This thesis describes a study ... -
Expressive and Efficient Memory Representation for Bounded Model Checking of C programs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-13)Ensuring memory safety in programs has been an important yet difficult topic of research. Most static analysis approaches rely on the theory of arrays to model memory access. The limitation of the theory of arrays in terms ... -
Extended Bandwidth Doherty Power Amplifier for Carrier Aggregated Signals
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-21)In the conventional classes of power amplifiers the efficiency drops at power back-off, whereas in order to maximize the spectral efficiency and data rate, wireless communication standards employ signals with high peak to ... -
Extended Latanoprost Release from Commercial Contact Lenses: In Vitro Studies Using Corneal Models
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-09)In this study, we compared, for the first time, the release of a 432 kDa prostaglandin analogue drug, Latanoprost, from commercially available contact lenses using in vitro models with corneal epithelial cells. Conventional ... -
Extended Nonlocal Games
(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-31)The notions of entanglement and nonlocality are among the most striking ingredients found in quantum information theory. One tool to better understand these notions is the model of nonlocal games; a mathematical framework ... -
Extended Range Electric Vehicle Powertrain Simulation and Comparison with Consideration of Fuel Cell and Metal-air Battery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-14)The automotive industry has been in a period of energy transformation from fossil fuels to a clean energy economy due to the economic pressures resulting from the energy crisis and the need for stricter environmental ... -
Extended thermodynamics of Taub-NUT and Einstein-scalar spacetimes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-12)The main objective of this thesis is to summarize recent developments on the thermodynamics of both AdS Einstein-scalar spacetimes and Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetimes. We summarize and apply well-known techniques in black ... -
Extending Cognitive Work Analysis and Engaging Nanotechnology: Embodied, Embedded and Socially Situated Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-15)With current advances in material science and the growth of novel technologies, the nature of human technology interaction is changing. Specifically, the growth and convergence of Nano-, Bio-, Info- and Cognitive Science ... -
Extending Pappus' Theorem
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-22)Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be matroids such that $M_2$ arises from $M_1$ by relaxing a circuit-hyperplane. We will prove that if $M_1$ and $M_2$ are both representable over some finite field $GF(q)$, then $M_1$ and $M_2$ have ... -
Extensible Architecture for Superconducting Quantum Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-09)Quantum computing architectures with ten or more quantum bits (qubits) have been implemented using trapped ions and superconducting devices. The next milestone in the quest for a quantum computer is the realization of ... -
Extensible Modeling of Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)There is a growing number of renewable energy sources that can supply power to the electrical grid. These renewable sources of energy are intermittent in nature and therefore the transition from using fossil fuels to ... -
