The Influence of Home Energy Management Systems on the Behaviours of Residential Electricity Consumers: An Ontario, Canada Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)The current state of Ontario’s electricity system and natural environment has prompted the provincial government to call for the province to adopt a ‘culture of conservation.’ Answering this call will involve the promotion ... -
The Influence of Housing Suitability on Commuting Patterns in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-01)This thesis explores the impact of housing suitability on the commute to work link for the metropolitan areas of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Housing suitability, operationalized in this thesis using variables for ... -
The Influence of Implicit Norms on Cognition and Behaviour
(University of Waterloo, 2007-02-09)Recent development of implicit measures has enabled researchers to investigate the relation between implicit attitudes and automatic behaviours. Among these measures, the implicit association test (IAT: Greenwald, McGhee ... -
The influence of increased passive stiffness of the trunk and hips on balance control during reactive stepping
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Background Age-related changes, which include increased trunk and hip stiffness, negatively influence postural balance. While previous studies suggest no net-effect of trunk and hip stiffness on initial trip-recovery ... -
Influence of Interface on the Properties of Silicone Nanocomposites
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)The increase in voltage levels and electrical stresses of the electrical equipment have resulted in demands for electrical insulations that have high breakdown strength, low losses, high thermal conductivity, and high ... -
The influence of intraglottal vortices upon the dynamics of the vocal folds
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-12)Intelligibility of speech is of critical importance in many respects. Diminished speech intelligibility causes part or all of the intended message to be lost to listeners; the outcome is frustration of speakers and listeners ... -
The Influence of Inward Technology Transfers and International Entrepreneurial Orientation on the Export Performance of Egyptian SMEs
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-24)This study examines the influence of inward technology transfers and international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on the export performance of small and medium-sized firms (SMEs). IEO and innovation are frequently cited ... -
The Influence of Jointed Fabric and Stress Ratio on Deformation and Fluid Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-24)There are remarkable volumes of hydrocarbon resources in low-permeability naturally fractured rock masses (NFRs) characterized by naturally occurring discontinuities. Natural fractures are one of the most important factors ... -
The Influence of Loading on the Corrosion of Steel in Cracked Ordinary Portland Cement and High Performance Concretes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-20)Most studies that have examined chloride-induced corrosion of steel in concrete have focused on sound concrete. However, reinforced concrete is seldom uncracked and very few studies have investigated the influence of cracked ... -
The Influence of Low-Load High-Repetition Resistance Exercise and Sex on the Metabolic Properties of Skeletal Muscle
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-04)INTRODUCTION. The findings of exercise trials have shown that women are better able to initiate aerobic metabolism and are less reliant on anaerobic energy stores. The effect that LL-HR resistance exercise and sex has on ... -
The Influence of Mesoscale Eddies on the Internal Tide
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-21)The barotropic tide dissipates a well established estimate of 2.5 TW of energy at the M2 frequency. Bottom topography is responsible for part of this dissipation, and the generation of the internal tide is also partly ... -
The Influence of Mitigation on Sage-Grouse Habitat Selection within an Energy Development Field
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Growing global energy demands ensure the continued growth of energy development. Energy development in wildlife areas can significantly impact wildlife populations. Efforts to mitigate development impacts to wildlife are ... -
Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, ... -
The Influence of Morphology and Molecular Orientation on the Efficiency and Lifetime of Organic Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-10)One of the reasons for the low efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) is because the relationship between morphology and molecular orientation of the organic semiconductors and the performance and lifetime of the OSC is ... -
The influence of near-miss outcomes on the physiological and subjective experience of scratch card gambling
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-25)Scratch cards are an omnipresent gambling form in the Canadian marketplace that contain a special type of outcome called a near-miss. A near-miss is an outcome that appears to come close to a large win, but falls short ... -
The influence of normal, pathological and psychological factors on postural reactions to multidirectional perturbations

The influence of peat volume change and vegetation on the hydrology of a kettle-hole wetland in Southern Ontario, Canada
(International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2007-12)Links between local hydrology and vegetation type exist in wetlands, yet it is unclear what role peat volume change plays in these interactions. We measured peat volume change and hydraulic conductivity (Kfield) at three ... -
The Influence of Performance Measurement on Actor?s Perception of Task in Goal Oriented Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis addresses the problem of the influence of a control system on the behaviour of an actor in a social or socio-technical system. In particular, the influence of a performance measurement mechanism on the behaviour ... -
The Influence of Personal, Social, and Environmental Factors on Youths' Engagement in Physical Activity
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-20)Social ecological models are recognized for allowing researchers to examine the influence of multiple factors on behaviour, yet to date relatively little research has simultaneously examined the role of personal, social, ...
