Implementing the soft path approach to water management: A case study of southern York Region, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-31)This research study develops a framework of indicators to evaluate the ‘institutional capacity’ of a municipality to implement the soft path approach. The soft path approach is a new strategy for water conservation that ... -
Implications of Climate Change on the Growth of Two Tropical Agroforestry Tree Seedlings
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-18)Tropical agroforestry systems are perceived to have the capacity to be resilient to future changes in climate. This study quantifies the response of two tropical agroforestry tree seedlings; Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp ... -
Implications of copper and nickel exposure to different members of the Hyalella azteca species complex
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-25)Hyalella azteca, an amphipod crustacean, is frequently used in freshwater toxicity tests. Since the mid-1980s, numerous organizations have collected and established cultures of H. azteca originating from localities across ... -
Implications of inherent inhomogeneities in thin carbon fiber-based gas diffusion layers: A comparative modeling study
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Thin porous media are present in multiple electrochemical energy devices, where they provide key transport and structural functions. The prototypical example is gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells ... -
Implications of irradiance exposure and non-photochemical quenching for multi-wavelength (bbe FluoroProbe) fluorometry
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Multi-wavelength fluorometers, such as the bbe FluoroProbe (FP), measure excitation spectra of chlorophyll a (Chl-a) fluorescence to infer the abundance and composition of phytoplankton communities as well as the concentration ... -
Implications of Lateral Flow Generation on Land-Surface Scheme Fluxes
(University of Waterloo, 2002)This thesis details the development and calibration of a model created by coupling a land surface simulation model named CLASS with a hydrologic model named WATFLOOD. The resulting model, known as WatCLASS, is able to ... -
Implications of Low Water Levels for Canadian Lake Huron Marina Operations
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-06)Recreational boating in the Great Lakes is suggested to fuel tourism and the Ontario economy. Like many other tourism sectors, boating-tourism is a highly climate-sensitive economic sector which significantly relies upon ... -
Implications of Marine Protected Areas on Social-Ecological Wellbeing in the Bay of Fundy, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-03)Globally, marine protected areas (MPAs) are proliferating to meet Aichi Target 11 under the Convention on Biological Diversity – to protect 10% of coastal and marine areas by 2020. MPAs hold promise to enhance the ecological ... -
The Implications of Relational Activity Motivations for Relationship Well-Being and Daily Relational Functioning in Marriage
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)People experience autonomy when they perceive their behaviour to be volitional and they feel controlled when their behaviour is driven by external demands or internal pressures. Gaine and La Guardia (2009) developed the ... -
The Implications of Sea-level Rise for Tourism in St. Lucia
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-21)Sea-level rise is one of the most certain impacts of climate change that will have major long-term implications for tourism in the Caribbean. Sea-level rise will impact coastal tourism through inundation and erosion, damage ... -
Implicit Leadership: Exploring the Role of Leaders on the Implicit Activation of Self-Interest
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Lord and Brown (Lord, Brown, & Freiberg, 1999; Lord & Brown, 2004) suggest that leaders may impact followers by priming certain goals or ideals in their followers’ minds, which in turn influence judgment and behaviour. The ... -
Implicit Loss of Surjectivity and Facial Reduction: Theory and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2023-03-09)Facial reduction, pioneered by Borwein and Wolkowicz, is a preprocessing method that is commonly used to obtain strict feasibility in the reformulated, reduced constraint system. The importance of strict feasibility is ... -
Implicit Processes in Smoking Interventions
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-19)Although explicit attitudes have traditionally been used in predictive models of health behaviour, recent theorizing suggests that implicit attitudes might be more useful in predicting socially undesirable or addictive ... -
Implicit Theories of Attraction
(Guilford Press, 2015-08-01)Sexual satisfaction is an important component of relationship well-being within romantic relationships. Yet, relatively little is known about the psychological factors that predict responses to the inevitable sexual ... -
Implied Volatility Modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-08)We propose extensions on calibrating the volatility surface through multi-factor regression models. The proposed models are back-tested against the historical S&P 500 prices during both the volatile and non-volatile periods ... -
Importance of asymmetry and anisotropy in predicting cortical bone response and fracture using human body model femur in three-point bending and axial rotation
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Modeling of cortical bone response and failure is critical for the prediction of Crash Induced Injuries (CII) using advanced finite element (FE) Human Body Models (HBM). Although cortical bone is anisotropic and asymmetric ... -
The Importance of Fracture Geometry and Matrix Data on Transient Hydraulic Tomography in Fractured Rocks: Analyses of Synthetic and Laboratory Rock Block Experiments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)The accurate characterization of hydraulic properties within fractured geologic media as well as the imaging of fracture patterns and their connectivity have been difficult to accomplish over the last few decades. Recently, ... -
The Importance of Institutional Arrangements for Sustainable Livelihoods: The Case of Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Sabah, Malaysia
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-11)Although there has been growing research examining ecotourism from a livelihoods perspective, there is still lack of explicit and critical analysis of how people relate to the institutional environment, where power lies, ... -
