Effect of Bezel Presence and Width on Visual Search
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-06)We investigate how the presence and width of interior bezels impacts visual search performance across tiled displays. In spite of a potential benefit from structured segmentation, we do not find significant differences in ... -
The effect of biochar amendment on the health, greenhouse gas emission, and climate change resilience of soil in a temperate agroecosystem
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Biochar has been a successful soil amendment in tropical agriculture for thousands of years. Biochar’s intrinsic chemical and physical properties benefit agriculture in terms of soil health, environmental pollution, and ... -
The effect of biochar on soil health and greenhouse gas emissions in a conventional temperate agricultural system
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-10)Biochar has been present in tropical agriculture as a soil amendment for millennia. Its ability to alter soil physical and chemical characteristics has been utilized to improve soil health and crop productivity. The use ... -
Effect of Biofiltration on DBP Formation at Full-Scale and Pilot-Scale
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)Over the past century chlorine has been a reliable disinfectant to reduce transmission of waterborne diseases in drinking water. Concerns about chlorination have increased since it was discovered in the 1970s that use of ... -

Effect of Bridge Geometry on Seam Weld Microstructures in AA6xxx Aluminum Porthole Die Extrusions
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-27)A series of porthole die extrusion trials were conducted with AA6xxx aluminum alloys to understand the influence of die geometry (bridge shape and welding chamber height), extrusion process parameters (ram speed) on the ... -
Effect of Buffer on Protein Capture with Weak Cation Exchange Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-26)Ion exchange membrane chromatography represents a potential alternative to conventional Protein A or resin chromatography for protein capture of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), due to its high throughput and low operation ... -
The Effect of Building Construction and HVAC Systems on PM Concentration from Outdoor Sources
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)Adverse health effects of human exposure to particulate matter (PM) in indoor environments and the associated costs have been of interest in recent studies conducted outside Canada. It was, therefore, necessary to investigate ... -
The Effect of Canadian Tax Policy on Executive Equity Grants: Corporate Tax Planning and Managerial Power
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)This study examines how the tax treatment of corporate tax-deductible restricted share units and employee tax-favoured stock options at the employer and employee level affect the extent of their use in executive equity ... -
Effect of chain stiffness on the entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a polymer melt
(2019)Entropic segregation of chain ends to the surface of a monodisperse polymer melt and its effect on surface tension is examined using self-consistent field theory (SCFT). In order to assess the dependence on chain stiffness, ... -
Effect of climate change and mining on hydrological connectivity of surficial layers in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
(Wiley, 2018-09-28)This research analyses the impact of climate change and surface mining activities on the hydrologic connectivity of surficial (soil and geological) layers located in a watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. Surface ... -
