Effects of Incentives on Group Problem Solving Processes and Paths
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-17)Incentives have been known to affect group performance when solving complex problems. Groups that are given individual incentives for solving problems are able to solve problems quicker, and with less errors compared to ... -
Effects of Individual versus Group Incentives on Group Problem Solving
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)Organizations today face complex problems requiring individuals to work in groups to develop insightful solutions efficiently through coordination, sharing, and integration of distributed knowledge. However, very little ... -
Effects of induced myopia and hyperopia on dopaminergic and serotonergic amacrine neurons in chick retina
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
Effects of Initial Fire Attack Suppression Tactics on the Firefighter and Compartment Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-16)Full-scale experiments are conducted to study the effects of different water-based indirect and combination initial attack methods on the compartment environment and firefighter during compartment fire suppression, with ... -
The Effects of Innovation and Regulation on Financial Crises
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)Although financial innovations and deregulations are often argued to be one of the main causes of the current global financial crises, there are only a few cross-country empirical evidences. Using several proxy variables ... -
The effects of integrating kinesthetic feedback, force feedback and non-speech audio feedback in human-computer interaction
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
Effects of Inventory Policies on Supply Chain Design
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)This thesis is motivated by an industrial problem faced by Bombardier Inc. in designing a two-echelon supply chain. The upper echelon is a plant that operates under batch ordering inventory policy. The lower echelon is a ... -
Effects of ionic concentration gradient on electroosmotic flow mixing in a microchannel
(Elsevier, 2014-11-08)Effects of ionic concentration gradient on electroosmotic flow (EOF) mixing of one stream of a high concentration electrolyte solution with a stream of a low concentration electrolyte solution in a microchannel are ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2000) -
The Effects of Juicy Game Design on Exergames
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-21)Visual embellishments(VEs) have been increasingly included in most modern video games and in various digital applications. One aspect of these graphical inclusions is called Juicy game design. It refers to user feedback ... -
Effects of Knee Brace On Anterior Ligament Strain During Drop Landing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-16)Knee is one of the most commonly injured joint in the human body and majority of the injuries are associated with ligaments which have detrimental effects on joint’s stability and function. Bracing has often been used as ... -
Effects of Land Use and Hydrophysical Drivers on Temporal and Spatial Variability of Phosphorus and Nitrate Export in an Agricultural Subwatershed in Southern Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)The eutrophication of streams and lakes has been a long recognized problem in North America, particularly in Lake Erie where harmful and nuisance algal blooms have had many deleterious effects on aquatic ecosystems. Non-point ... -
Effects of Laser Welding on Formability Aspects of Advanced High Strength Steel
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-24)Limiting dome height (LDH) tests were used to evaluate the formability of both base metal and laser butt welded blanks of AHSS (including High strength low alloy (HSLA), Dual phase (DP) steels of different grades). ... -
The effects of low temperature and vacuum on the fracture behavior of organosilicate thin films
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-05)A novel load-displacement sensing instrument has been designed and fabricated to characterize the fracture properties of brittle thin films at low temperature (-30 °C) and pressure (1.6e-4 Pa). In this study, the instrument ... -
