Remembering Faces in Different Places: The Influence of Context on Face Memory
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-25)How context affects memory is the central focus of the six experiments making up this PhD thesis. In these experiments, pictures of faces were presented in an incidental encoding phase, paired with a variety of indoor and ... -
Remembering the River: The Retrieval of Rome's Forgotten Relationship with the Tiber
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Ever since its founding, Rome has been vulnerable to the swelling waters of its Tiber River. This river was so important to the city that it was a defining character in Rome’s history for over two thousand years. However, ... -
Remembering Water: Immigrant water narratives in Waterloo Region
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-06)What water priorities are embedded in the personal water narratives of immigrants in Waterloo Region? How can immigrant water meanings transform local waters? The purpose of this qualitative research was to understand ... -
Remittances, household food security, and entrepreneurship development: A case study of Mzuzu, Malawi
(University of Waterloo, 2023-03-16)With the substantial increase in migrant remittances to developing countries since the 1990s, there is a growing interest in migration and development among academics and development practitioners. Remittances, if channelled ... -
Remote Material Characterization using mmWave FMCW Radar with Complex Baseband
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-13)Material characterization has been a topic of interest for many years due to numerous applications in industry and research. Free space material characterization has seen lots of interest lately due to the non-invasive and ... -
Remote Paleohydrograph Reconstruction of the Stockton Island Tombolo
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-01)Rising lake levels have become a concern for the coasts of Lake Superior and one such coastline is the Stockton Island Tombolo (SIT) that protects the Pine Barrens Habitat (PBH) in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore ... -
