Atomic force microscopy and Langmuir–Blodgett monolayer technique to assess contact lens deposits and human meibum extracts
(Elsevier, 2015-07)Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the differences in meibomian gland secretions, contact lens (CL) lipid extracts, and CL surface topography between participants with and without meibomian ... -
Atomic Force Microscopy Study of Model Lipid Monolayers
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is prevalent among the elderly population. Aß protein has been heavily implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. This protein in its fibrillar form is a major ... -
Atomic shell structure from an orbital-free-related density-functional-theory Pauli potential
(American Physical Society, 2020-07)Polymer self-consistent field theory techniques are used to find radial electron densities and total binding energies for isolated atoms. Quantum particles are modeled as Gaussian threads with ring-polymer architecture in ... -
Atomic Shell Structure in a Ring Polymer Formulation of Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-18)An alternative approach to orbital-free density functional theory based on self-consistent field theory for ring polymers is proposed and applied to isolated atoms on the periodic table in their ground-state. Using a ... -
Attaching DNA to Nanoceria: Regulating Oxidase Activity and Fluorescence Quenching
(American Chemical Society, 2013-08-14)Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have recently emerged as a nanozyme with oxidase activity. In this work, we present a few important interfacial properties of nanoceria. First, the surface charge of nanoceria can be ... -
Attaching Social Interactions Surrounding Software Changes to the Release History of an Evolving Software System
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-21)Open source software is designed, developed and maintained by means of electronic media. These media include discussions on a variety of issues reflecting the evolution of a software system, such as reports on bugs and ... -
Attachment and Sexual Communication Behaviour
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-06)Attachment theory is one of the major theoretical frameworks for understanding romantic relationships. Attachment styles are formed through interactions with caregivers, and shape an individual’s expectations of subsequent ... -
Attachment Style and Development in the Canadian Summer Camp Context: A Quantitative Analysis of Direct and Indirect Associations Using Phase III CSCRP Data
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-28)Psychosocial development is an ongoing processes beginning from birth. Attachment theory, as outlined by John Bowlby, takes a working model of self and others approach to explaining the associated psychosocial developmental ... -
An Attack and a Defence in the Context of Hardware Security
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-27)The security of digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) is essential to the security of a computer system that comprises them. We present an improved attack on computer hardware that avoids known defence mechanisms and as such ... -
Attack on WiFi-based Location Services and SSL using Proxy Servers
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-02)Wireless LANs are very common in any household or business today. It allows access to their home or business network and the Internet without using wires. Their wireless nature allows mobility and convenience for the user ... -
Attaining climate justice through the adaptation of urban form to climate change: flood risks in Toronto
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-24)Empirical evidence points out that entrenched cost-benefit rationales behind urban form adaptations to climate change unequally exacerbate vulnerabilities and hazard exposures, engendering risk inequalities and triggering ... -

An Attempt to Automate <i>NP</i>-Hardness Reductions via <i>SO</i>∃ Logic
(University of Waterloo, 2004)We explore the possibility of automating <i>NP</i>-hardness reductions. We motivate the problem from an artificial intelligence perspective, then propose the use of second-order existential (<i>SO</i>∃) logic as ... -
Attention and Age-Related Components of Visual-Tactile Modulation of Somatosensory Cortex and Motor Implications
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-16)Successful interaction with the external world requires continual sensory detection, sensorimotor translations and goal-directed motor execution. Attention to task-relevant stimulation can facilitate sensory detection and ... -
Attention and language in preschoolers

ATTENTION AND THE PARIETAL CORTEX: INVESTIGATIONS OF SPATIAL NEGLECT, OPTIC ATAXIA, AND THE INFLUENCE OF PRISM ADAPTATION ON ATTENTION
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)Some authors have argued that the primary function of the posterior parietal cortex is to control visual attention and awareness, whereas others have argued that the posterior parietal cortex is specialized for controlling ... -
Attention Capture by Direct Gaze is Robust to Context and Task Demands
(Springer, 2012-01-10)Eye-tracking was used to investigate whether gaze direction would influence the visual scanning of faces, when presented in the context of a full character, in different social settings, and with different task demands. ... -
Attention Orienting by Gaze and Facial Expressions Across Development
(APA, 2013-06)Processing of facial expressions has been shown to potentiate orienting of attention toward the direction signaled by gaze in adults, an important social–cognitive function. However, little is known about how this social ... -
