Incorporating sex, gender and vulnerable populations in a large multisite health research programme: The Ontario Pharmacy Evidence Network as a case study
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-20)Background: Funders now frequently require that sex and gender be considered in research programmes, but provide little guidance about how this can be accomplished, especially in large research programmes. The purpose of ... -
Incorporating Water Demand Management into a Cooperative Water Allocation Framework
(Springer, 2016-07-01)The impact of a water demand management plan on a water system and its users is investigated within a comprehensive cooperative water allocation framework. In particular, a demand management plan is incorporated into a ... -
Incorporation of 3-Dimensional ZnO Nanowire Arrays in Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-27)Organic solar cells have poor charge transport, with carrier mobilities and lifetimes of 3.9×10−4 cm2/Vs and 10-4 seconds in P3HT:PCBM devices. This poor mobility leads to higher recombination and lower short circuit ... -
Incorporation of oxyanionic B, Cr, Mo, and Se into hydrocalumite and ettringite, application to cementitious systems
(University of Waterloo, 2000) -
Incorporation of Pressure Insoles into Inverse Dynamic Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-27)Estimation of body loads during industrial tasks, such as lifting and weight bearing, is central to workplace ergonomics and the study of the safety and risk factors in work techniques. Evaluating those loads requires data ... -
Increased Early Sensitivity to Eyes in Mouthless Faces: In Support of the LIFTED Model of Early Face Processing
(Springer, 2018-07-09)The N170 ERP component is a central neural marker of early face perception usually thought to reflect holistic processing. However, it is also highly sensitive to eyes presented in isolation and to fixation on the eyes ... -
Increased Formability and the Effects of the Tool/Sheet Interaction in Electromagnetic Forming of Aluminum Alloy Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis presents the results of experimental and numerical work carried out to determine if electromagnetic forming (EMF) increases the formability of aluminum alloy sheet and, if so, to determine the mechanisms that ... -
Increased interference fringe visibility from the post-fabrication heat treatment of a perfect crystal silicon neutron interferometer
(AIP Publishing, 2018-02-08)We find that annealing a previously chemically etched interferometer at 800 degrees C dramatically increased the interference fringe visibility from 23% to 90%. The Bragg plane misalignments were also measured before and ... -
Increasing Efficiency of Hybrid Electric Vehicles Using Advanced Controls
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-19)The drive to improve and optimize hybrid vehicle performance is increasing with the growing market of hybrids. This research is conducted on a student developed parallel split hybrid architecture. The architecture features ... -
Increasing Passersby Engagement with Public Large Interactive Displays: A Study of Proxemics and Conation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-11-19)Prior research has shown that large interactive displays de- ployed in public spaces are often underutilized, or even un- noticed, phenomena connected to ‘interaction’ and ‘display blindness’, respectively. To better ... -
Increasing Passersby Engagement with Public Large Interactive Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)Despite the proliferation of Public Large Interactive Surfaces (PLISs), and their potential to provide a more engaging and interactive user experience, these surfaces often go unnoticed by passersby, or not immediately ... -
Increasing the Efficiency of High-Recall Information Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)The goal of high-recall information retrieval (HRIR) is to find all, or nearly all, relevant documents while maintaining reasonable assessment effort. Achieving high recall is a key problem in the use of applications ... -
Increasing the Semantic Similarity of Object-Oriented Domain Models by Performing Behavioral Analysis First
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The main goal of any object-oriented analysis (OOA) method is to produce a model that aids in understanding and communicating knowledge about a modeled domain. A higher degree of similarity among independently produced ... -
Incremental and Commutative Composition of State-Machine Models of Features
(IEEE, 2015-05)In this paper, we present a technique for incre- mental and commutative composition of state-machine models of features, using the FeatureHouse framework. The inputs to FeatureHouse are feature state-machines (or state-machine ... -
The Incremental Constraint of k-Server
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-19)Online algorithms are characterized by operating on an input sequence revealed over time versus a single static input. Instead of generating a single solution, they produce a sequence of incremental solutions corresponding ... -
Incremental machine learning-based accelerator for computational fluid dynamics simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-16)The simulation of physicochemical processes with computational methods is key for engineering design, with applications in a variety of industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals to aerodynamics. Despite its importance and ... -
Incremental Model Synchronization
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-02)Changing artifacts is intrinsic to the development and maintenance of software projects. The changes made to one artifact, however, do not come about in isolation. Software models are often vastly entangled. As such, a ... -
Incremental Timing-Driven Placement with Displacement Constraint
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-10)In the modern deep-submicron Very Large Integrated Circuit(VLSI) design flow intercon- nect delays are becoming major limiting factor for timing closure. Traditional placement algorithms such as routability-driven placement ... -
