Assessing Mercury Risks for the Optimization of Nutrient Benefits from Wild-harvested Fish Consumption in the Northwest Territories, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2016-03-14)Background: Fish are often rich in essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) and selenium (Se), and thus can promote health. However, methylmercury (MeHg), a contaminant found in many species in the ... -
Assessing Microbial Viability and Biodegradation Capabilities in Sandstone
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-17)Environmental practitioners have demonstrated enhanced in situ bioremediation (EISB) in homogeneous unconsolidated soils to remediate chlorinated solvents. However, EISB has not been fully investigated in bedrock environments. ... -
Assessing Mission-critical Vehicular Safety Applications under Various Network Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-25)Enabling communication among vehicles can facilitate the deployment of safety applications that can improve driving safety and reduce traffic-related fatalities. Assessing the reliability of these safety applications is ... -
Assessing Physicochemical Properties of Drug Molecules via Microsolvation Measurements with Differential Mobility Spectrometry
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02-22)The microsolvated state of a molecule, represented by its interactions with only a small number of solvent molecules, can play a key role in determining the observable bulk properties of the molecule. This is especially ... -
Assessing pre-existing movement and muscular recruitment differences in prolonged standing, transient low back pain developers compared to non-pain developers
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)Epidemiological studies have reported occupational prolonged standing to be associated with low back pain (LBP). Studies that have conducted simulations of prolonged standing work in healthy individuals have demonstrated ... -
Assessing Progress of Urban Ecological Restoration Using Transplants
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-13)Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem in Ontario and were once widespread throughout much of eastern North America; in southern Ontario, forest cover has declined from 90% to approximately 17% in the past 200 ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)The Raglan Mine sport fishing program has collected biological fish data in Deception Bay, Nunavik, Québec, Canada since 1998 in collaboration with local committees, small scale sampling programs, and government agencies ... -
Assessing relations among multiple environmental gradients for shallow lakes in Old Crow Flats, Yukon, using hydrological, limnological and community-collaborative research approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-09)Shallow freshwater ecosystems are undergoing marked hydrological changes associated with a warming Arctic, which causes concern for remote northern communities that access these regions to maintain their traditional ... -
Assessing Safety Performance of Transportation Systems using Microscopic Simulation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-11-06)Transportation safety has been recognized as a public health issue worldwide, consequently, transportation researchers and practitioners have been attempting to provide adequate safety performance for the various ... -
Assessing Sensitivity of Subsurface Mine-Dewatering Activities to Climate Change
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-01)Underground mining activities require constant removal of groundwater from their void spaces to maintain dry and safely accessible excavations for ore extraction in a process known as dewatering. The nature and degree ... -
