Extracellular dsRNA induces a type I interferon response mediated via class A scavenger receptors in a novel Chinook salmon derived spleen cell line
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Despite increased global interest in Chinook salmon aquaculture, little is known of their viral immune defenses. This study describes the establishment and characterization of a continuous cell line derived from Chinook ... -
Extracellular Electron Transport in Microbial Electrochemical Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-30)Microbial electrochemical cells (MxCs) are engineered biological systems that use microbial metabolism of anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) to catalyze electron transfer from a soluble electron donor to the anode via extracellular ... -
Extracting and Cleaning RDF Data
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)The RDF data model has become a prevalent format to represent heterogeneous data because of its versatility. The capability of dismantling information from its native formats and representing it in triple format offers a ... -
Extracting Counterexamples from Transitive-Closure-Based Model Checking
(IEEE, 2019)We address the problem of how to extract counterexamples for the transitive-closure-based model checking (TCMC) technique. TCMC is a representation of the CTLFC (CTL with fairness constraints) model checking problem in ... -
Extracting ECG-based cardiac information from the upper arm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-24)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the global number one cause of death. Therefore, there is an acute need for constantly monitoring cardiac conditions and/or cardiac monitoring for extended periods. The current clinical ... -
Extracting Non-Functional Requirements from Unstructured Text
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)Non-functional requirements (NFRs) of a software system describe desired quality attributes rather than specific user-visible features; NFRs model stakeholder expectations about pervasive system properties such as performance, ... -
Extraction and Concentration of Glutathione from Yeast
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Glutathione is a tripeptide present in most mammalian tissue. It has a great variety of significant physiological functions, such as regulating cell growth and division; helping DNA synthesis and repair. Glutathione can ... -
Extraction of Digital Terrain Models from Airborne Laser Scanning Data based on Transfer-Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)With the rapid urbanization, timely and comprehensive urban thematic and topographic information is highly needed. Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), as one of unique urban topographic information, directly affect subsequent ... -
Extraction of DNA staining dyes from DNA using hydrophobic ionic liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-05-18)The partition of oligonucleotides and DNA staining dyes into a few hydrophobic ionic liquids has been studied, where the oligonucleotides remain in the aqueous phase and all the DNA staining dyes are extracted in the ionic ... -
Extraction of Oil from Oil Sands Using Thermoresponsive Polymeric Surfactants
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-18)Several thermoresponsive block copolymers constituted of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and a poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate) (PMEO(2)MA) block were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ... -
Extremely fast (a,b)-trees at all contention levels
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)Many concurrent dictionary implementations are designed and evaluated with only low-contention workloads in mind. This thesis presents several concurrent linearizable (a,b)-tree implementations with the overarching goal ... -
Extremely Partisan Samples Impact Perceptions of Political Group Beliefs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-05)Accurately inferring the beliefs of a partisan group (e.g. Democrats, Republicans) can be challenging when exposed to extremely partisan beliefs from that group. Across two studies (total N = 566), we tested whether people ... -
Extrudable hydroxyapatite/plant oil-based biopolymer nanocomposites for biomedical applications: Mechanical testing and modeling
(Elsevier, 2019-07-15)Towards developing bone-inspired, high performance composite biomaterials, two nanocomposite inks, consisting of a plant oil-based biopolymer resin (soybean oil epoxidized acrylate (SOEA)) and silanized nano-hydroxyapatite ... -

Extrusion-based 3D Printing and Characterization of Edible Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-19)3D printing food offers the ability to customize shapes, texture, as well as nutritional content. In addition, it can automate the cooking process to save time and produce meals on-demand to minimize waste. One potential ... -
Exurban land cover and land market evolution: Analysis, review and computational experimentation of spatial and agent heterogeneity from the bottom up
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)This dissertation investigates selected empirical and theoretical aspects of land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) in exurban areas. Two challenges – observation and monitoring of LUCC, and spatially explicit modeling, are ... -
An eye (region) sensitivity during early face perception: The N170 is modulated by facial context and featural fixation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)The N170 is a face-sensitive ERP component that also demonstrates a particular sensitivity to the eyes. Specifically, the N170 responds maximally to isolated eye regions (i.e., two eyes), as well as to eye fixations within ... -
Eye gaze and head orientation modulate the inhibition of return for faces
(Springer, 2015-11-01)The present study used an inhibition of return (IOR) spatial cueing paradigm to examine how gaze direction and head orientation modulate attention capture for human faces. Target response time (RT) was measured after the ... -
« Échos » et « brèches » dans la poésie de Louis-Jean Thibault
(Département de français de l'Université d'Ottawa, 2011)Résumé Autour de la décennie 1960, toute une génération de poètes prêtait sa voix au pays à venir. Mais faute de pays réel, clairement défini, cette poésie était confinée à l’abstraction, évoquant « l’âme » d’un ineffable ... -
