S'more then just fun and games: Teachers' perceptions on the educational value of camp programs for school groups
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-03)Learning does occur at camp, but what kind of learning? And do what participants learn at camp transfer to other parts of a young persons’ life after the camp experience? This evaluation research study was designed to ... -
The S-Matrix of Gauge and Gravity Theories and The Two-Black Hole Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-01)This thesis is devoted to diverse aspects of scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity including interactions with matter particles. In Part I we focus on the applications of massive scattering amplitudes in gravity ... -
Saccade latency delays in young apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 carriers
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 isoform has been associated with a significantly greater risk of developing late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the negative effects of APOE-ε4 allele on cognitive function ... -
Sacred Memories, Decolonial Futurities
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-02)Employing a collective memory work research methodology, this thesis narrates discussions between four Settler-Christians as they grapple with notions of travel, tourism, Christianity, divinity, and settler colonialism. ... -
Safe and Efficient Navigation of a Mobile Robot: Path Planning Based on Hierarchical Topology Map and Motion Planning with Pedestrian Behavior Model
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-02)Safety in mobile robot navigation is an essential aspect, but it is often accompanied by a trade-off of efficiency in different navigation steps. For global planning, safety is frequently handled by inflated obstacles. ... -
Safe and Secure Control of Connected and Automated Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-26)Evolution of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV), as an important class of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), plays a crucial role in providing innovative services in transport and traffic management. Vehicle platoons, as a ... -
The Safe and Sexy Project: The sexual-health needs and knowledge of street involved and homeless youth living in Hamilton, Ontario.
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-17)BACKGROUND: Youth continue to be at high risk for STI and HIV transmission and unplanned pregnancies because of their liberal approach to sexual-health and their susceptibility toward engaging in risky activities. Youth ... -
Safe, Quiet and Durable Pavement Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-06)Skidding contributes to up to 35% of wet pavement accidents. Pavement surface friction therefore is an important component of highway safety. The skid resistance also varies seasonally and reduces over time due to surface ... -
SafeDS: Safe Data Structures for C++
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-01)Memory corruption vulnerabilities in low-level languages such as C/C++ have been a problem in computer security for a long time. Accordingly, there has been a wide variety of proposed solutions for detecting or preventing ... -
Safety Effects of Preventative Maintenace: Microsurfacing : A Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-19)Various North American transportation agencies have implemented several preventative maintenance techniques to improve pavement performance and safety. The Region of York, located north east of Toronto, Ontario, has been ... -
Safety-Critical Control for Dynamical Systems under Uncertainties
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-15)Control barrier functions (CBFs) and higher-order control barrier functions (HOCBFs) have shown great success in addressing control problems with safety guarantees. These methods usually find the next safe control input ... -
Safety-Oriented Stability Biases for Continual Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Continual learning is often confounded by “catastrophic forgetting” that prevents neural networks from learning tasks sequentially. In the case of real world classification systems that are safety-validated prior to ... -
Sagging resistance of warm formed aluminum brazing sheet
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Interrupted tensile tests, performed between room temperature (RT) and 250°C, were used to simulate warm forming of an AA3003/AA4045 brazing sheet. Brazing performance was predicted from sagging distance measurements after ... -
Salacious Sade and Perverted Poe: Perversity and the quest for knowledge from 1740 to 1895
(University of Waterloo, 2014)The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of perversity within the Self as a quest for individual knowledge. Libertine and Gothic literature will be characterized as an individualized reflection on society’s ... -
Salinity Effects on Dissolved Organic Carbon Concentration and Quality in a Constructed Fen Peatland, Fort McMurray, AB
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-05)In northern Alberta, oil sands mining disturbs the landscape; reclamation to an “equivalent land capability” is required, and industry is testing peatland construction as part of landscape reclamation. To determine if these ... -
Salinization enhances eutrophication symptoms in a cold temperate urban lake
(Elsevier, 2022-11-10)Salinization of inland freshwaters is observed around the world, but particularly in cold temperate regions due to the runoff of salt applied on roads as de-icing agents during the winter. This is the case for Lake Wilcox, ... -
Salinization increases eutrophication symptoms in freshwater urban lakes of North America
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05)The acceleration of global urbanization continues to fuel concerns surrounding water quality impairments in urban lakes, particularly their eutrophication. Eutrophication of freshwater environments is generally assumed to ... -
The Saliva Exposome for Monitoring of Individuals’ Health Trajectories
(Environmental Health Perspectives - United States Federal Government, 2017-07-20)Background: There is increasing evidence that environmental, rather than genetic, factors are the major causes of most chronic diseases. By measuring entire classes of chemicals in archived biospecimens, exposome-wide ... -
