Effects of a single session of aerobic exercise on cognitive function among patients with chronic stroke
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-09)The incidence of stroke is increasing and is expected to continue to increase with the aging population, escalating rates of obesity and physical inactivity, and the rising prevalence of heart failure. Stroke is a leading ... -
The effects of actomyosin disruptors on the mechanical integrity of the avian crystalline lens
(Molecular Vision, 2015-01-27)Actin and myosin within the crystalline lens maintain the structural integrity of lens fiber cells and form a hexagonal lattice cradling the posterior surface of the lens. The actomyosin network was pharmacologically ... -
The effects of acute aerobic exercise on executive function in individuals with type 2 diabetes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-25)Prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), relies heavily on self-care behaviours such as dietary modification, physical activity, and medication adherence. Ability to perform these self-care behaviours ... -
Effects of Acute Aerobic Exercise on Motor Cortex Plasticity in Individuals With a Concussion History
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-25)The impact of concussions was previously believed to be transient, however neurophysiological tools have revealed that long-term cognitive and motor declines persist past the acute phase of injury. Through a non-invasive ... -
Effects of acute exercise and voluntary freewheel exercise in mice on pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers of apoptosis in the hippocampus
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementias constitute a significant public health burden and it is estimated that one in 85 people may be living with AD by 2050. Dementias are a spectrum of diseases with common ... -
The Effects of Additives on the Dehydrogenation of Amorphous Manganese Borohydride and Its Crystalline Form after Solvent Filtration/Extraction
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-10-30)A non-stoichiometric, amorphous a-Mn(BH4)(2x) hydride, accompanied by a NaCl-type salt, was mechanochemically synthesized from the additive-free mixture of (2NaBH4 + MnCl2), as well as from the mixtures containing the ... -

Effects of Age and Experience on Memory-Guided Movements
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-14)The purpose of the present research was threefold: 1) to investigate whether natural aging affects the movements to remembered targets when participants make reaching movements under closed-loop feedback conditions, 2) to ... -
Effects of Aging in Pointing to Visible and Remembered Targets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-22)Most studies that have compared pointing to visible versus remembered targets have involved situations when both the limb and target are present (closed loop-target present), or when both the limb and target are occluded ... -
Effects of Aging in Reaching and Grasping Movements: A Kinematic Analysis of Movement Context
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)Although several studies have investigated the effects of aging on aspects of motor planning and control, there remains a lack of consensus about the underlying mechanisms responsible for the motor slowing associated with ... -
Effects of Altering the Sequence of a Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Session on Energy Expenditure and Metabolism
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-25)Despite the known benefits of performing aerobic and resistance exercise independently, the metabolic effects of performing aerobic and resistance exercise in succession, remain unclear. Several studies suggest that the ... -
The Effects of Ambiguity: A Feminist Study of Human Signifiers in Human-Computer Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-01)A lack of diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields has been a popular topic of discussion and a persistent challenge in terms of recruitment, engagement, opportunity and equality spanning decades. ... -
Effects of anthropogenic alterations to ephemeral and intermittent headwater drainage features on downstream fish communities
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-31)Headwater drainage features (HDFs) in the GTA are commonly subjected to land-use modifications including agricultural uses and urbanization. A temporal study design approach was used to test whether the runoff being ... -
Effects of Anti-Icing Agents on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Anti-icing agents are applied to road surfaces to prevent ice formation and to melt any hail or snow as it falls. The specific agent is selected to provide optimum anti-icing properties for the particular local climate ... -
The Effects of Audit Methodology and Audit Experience on the Development of Auditors? Knowledge of the Client?s Business
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This dissertation examines how differences between the strategic-systems audit approach and the traditional, transaction-based audit approach affect the content and complexity of client business knowledge in long-term ... -
Effects of auditory context on face expression processing: An ERP Investigation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)Facial expressions of emotion are a critical source of social information within the environment, but their interpretation is seen to be modulated based on the situational context in which they are presented. Most empirical ... -
The Effects of Autophagic Deficiencies on the Leukemia Mitochondrial Phenotype and Implications in Strategic Drug Targeting
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-13)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer that develops when hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow transform into malignant cells and subsequently grow and replicate aberrantly. Autophagy, a pathway by which cellular ... -
Effects of beam axial deformations on storey-based critical gravity loads in tension-only semi-braced steel frames
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)If the beams in a structural frame are not connected to slabs or other rigid diaphragms, the beams will axially deform when the frame is subjected to lateral loads, reducing the critical loads and increasing local deflections ... -
