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 ... -
The effects of body composition and body configuration on impact dynamics during lateral falls: insights from in-vivo, in-vitro, and in-silico approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-24)Fall-related injuries are the current leading accidental cause of emergency room and hospital visits, hospitalizations, and injury-related deaths in Ontario. Hip fractures in particular are associated with poor functional ... -
The Effects of Body Mass Index and Gender on Pelvic Stiffness and Peak Impact Force During Lateral Falls
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-28)Fall-related hip fractures are a substantial public health issue. Unfortunately, little is known about whether the effective stiffness of the pelvis, a critical component governing impact force during lateral falls, differs ... -
Effects of Ca and Ce on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-Zn Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-14)The effects of Ca and Ce on the precipitation behaviour and microstructural characteristics of Mg-Zn based alloys are investigated by comprehensive multi-scale characterization and analysis. The elements Ca and Ce are ... -
The effects of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors on exercise performance in acute hypoxia
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-24)Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can occur due to rapid altitude ascents and/or insufficient acclimatization. Acetazolamide (AZ) is commonly prescribed for AMS prophylaxis but appears to inhibit exercise performance. Methazolamide ... -
Effects of Category Structures on Learning and Communication of the Learned Categories
