Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II: Reflections on Transforming Research Goals into Gameplay Mechanics
(ACM, 2018-10-23)We reflect on the design, implementation, and testing of the experimental testbed game Beam Me 'Round, Scotty! II and the numerous design lessons learned in transitioning theoretical research questions about social presence ... -
"Because your environment is looking after you": The role of local knowledge in climate change adaptation in the Cook Islands
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)Pacific Island countries, like the Cook Islands, are often considered to be extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Changes in the frequency and intensity of climate-related hazards is expected to be one ... -
The Becoming
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-26)A child wanders into a thicket of northern red oak and black raspberry to soothe the wounds of the past. The child is plagued with the malaise of the soul, otherwise know as major depressive disorder, and seeks to heal. ... -
Becoming-with More-than-human Protected Areas
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-28)The planet is currently undergoing immense and permanent geological change and environmental decline, a period some scholars have referred to as the Anthropocene. Climate change and environmental events, biodiversity ... -
Bedload sediment transport regimes of urban gravel-bed rivers under different management scenarios
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-09)Watershed urbanization profoundly alters the hydrologic characteristics of urban rivers compared to their rural counterparts. This change in hydrologic conditions in combination with alterations to the sediment supply ... -
Beer, Tourism and Regional Identity: Relationships between beer and tourism in Yorkshire, England
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-02)Beer, brewing, and the public house have been celebrated institutions in English culture for centuries. The drink occupies a venerable position in the gastronomy of most regions and is an integral component in the lives ... -
Behavior Change Techniques Present in Wearable Activity Trackers: A Critical Analysis
(JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2016-04-27)Background: Wearable activity trackers are promising as interventions that offer guidance and support for increasing physical activity and health-focused tracking. Most adults do not meet their recommended daily activity ... -

Behavioral Mimicry Covert Communication
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-24)Covert communication refers to the process of communicating data through a channel that is neither designed, nor intended to transfer information. Traditionally, covert channels are considered as security threats in computer ... -
Behavioral Modeling and Digital Predistortion of Wide- and Multi- Band Transmitter Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-17)The demands for high data rates and ubiquitous/broadband wireless access necessitate the development of radio systems that deploy wide- and multi-band signals. These signals lead to high spectral utilization with negative ... -
Behavioral Modeling of Unmatched Nonlinear Devices Driven with Modulated Signal Stimuli using Volterra Series
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-24)The accurate simulation of nonlinear radio frequency (RF) circuits under unmatched impedance conditions depends heavily on the device model used. Recently, measurement-based models under unmatched conditions were proposed ... -
Behaviour and Treatment of Nitroaromatics in Groundwater
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical and/or biological factors that cause 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) and nitrobenzene (NB) to transform to their respective aromatic amines ... -
Behaviour of apatite during partial melting of metapelites and consequences for prograde suprasolidus monazite growth
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)The suprasolidus behaviour of apatite and monazite is examined for an average metapelite composition using phase equilibria modelling coupled with solubility equations of these minerals. Both closed- and open-system scenarios ... -
Behaviour of Magnesium Alloy Under Load-Control Cyclic Testing
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-20)The characterization of material fatigue behaviour is crucial in the design of mechanical components. Magnesium alloys, particularly wrought magnesium alloys, are one of the most interesting materials for mechanical ... -
