An evaluation of engineered media for phosphorus removal from greenroof stormwater runoff
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-08)Greenroofs are increasingly being recognized as an effective site level best management practice (BMP) to reduce the volume of stormwater runoff in urban environments. For some water quality constituents, greenroofs can ... -
Evaluation of feasibility and potential impact of a clinical innovative software tool to support pharmacists to prescribe for minor ailments
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-05)Background: The role of community pharmacists has shifted from dispensing prescribed medications to providing patient-focused clinical services such as Pharmacists Prescribing for Minor Ailments (PPMA). These services are ... -
Evaluation of FFT Based Cross-Correlation Algorithms for Particle Image Velocimetry
(University of Waterloo, 2002)In the current study, the four most common Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) cross-correlation algorithms were evaluated by measuring the displacement of particles in computer generated images. The synthetic images were ... -
EVALUATION OF FIRE SAFETY CHARACTERISTICS OF LAMINATED WOOD PANELS
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-13)The goal of this study is to assess the fire performance of laminated wall panels comprised of medium density fibreboard (MDF) core sandwiched between two outer layers of a thin sheet Arborite laminates. Both fire retarded ... -
Evaluation of Geochemical and Reactivity Changes of Different Iron Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Previous studies have suggested that iron PRBs, receiving high concentrations of inorganic constituents in groundwater, may experience passivation because of the accumulation of inorganic precipitates. In an iron PRB ... -
Evaluation of glucose metabolism in breast cancer patients following a combined aerobic and resistance exercise intervention
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients typically present with impaired glucose metabolism at diagnosis. Given that increased fat mass and decreased lean mass develop throughout the treatment trajectory and into survivorship, ... -
Evaluation of Gold Nanoparticle-Doxorubicin Conjugates for their Use in Drug Delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-24)Since the seminal work on spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) by Mirkin and co-workers in 1996, substantial research investment has been devoted to gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based biotechnology advancement. AuNPs have several ... -
Evaluation of halogen-free laminates used in handheld electronics
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-15)The purpose of this study is to examine the thermal and mechanical properties of various halogen-free laminates used in handheld electronic products and to correlate these properties to the manufacturing requirements and ... -
