Evaluation of indicators of stress in populations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos)
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-16)Grizzly and polar bears are both species at the top of the food chain in their respective ecosystems, and as such are indicative of the overall health of the ecosystem. Presently there is little data regarding the stress ... -
Evaluation of instantaneous and cumulative models for reactivity ratio estimation with multiresponse scenarios
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Estimating reactivity ratios in multicomponent polymerizations is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, using cumulative models is becoming imperative, as some multicomponent systems are inherently so fast ... -
An Evaluation of Knee Joint Laxity, Mechanics and Muscle Activation Following Sustained Deep Flexion Kneeling
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease with several proposed mechanisms for both the initiation and progression of the disease. Within the next 30 years, 1 in 4 Canadians are expected to have OA and 30% of the ... -
Evaluation of Laban Effort Features based on the Social Attributes and Personality of Domestic Service Robots
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)Today, it is not uncommon to see robots adopted in various domains and environments. From manufacturing facilities to households, robots take over several roles and tasks. For instance, the adoption of robotic vacuum ... -
Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms for Lake Ice Classification from Optical Remote Sensing Data
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-02)The topic of lake ice cover mapping from satellite remote sensing data has gained interest in recent years since it allows the extent of lake ice and the dynamics of ice phenology over large areas to be monitored. Mapping ... -
Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms for the Classification of Lake Ice and Open Water from Sentinel-3 SAR Altimetry Waveforms
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-18)Lakes cover a significant fraction of the landscape in many northern countries. They play a key role in regulating weather and climate and also have a significant impact on northern communities since the presence (or ... -
Evaluation of maize and soybean intercropping on soil quality and nitrogen transformations in the Argentine Pampa
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-21)Agricultural intensification to increase food, feed, and fibre production has also resulted in environmental degradation, including poorer soil quality and high emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like nitrous oxide (N2O). ... -
Evaluation of Mechanical and Durability Properties of Concrete with Recycled Materials for its use in Interlocking Concrete Pavement
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-17)The use of coarse recycled concrete aggregates (CRCA) in concrete as a replacement for natural aggregate (NA) has recently sparked a lot of attention. The use of CRCA is gaining acceptance as more research into its performance ... -
Evaluation of Mechanical Properties in Pipeline Girth Welds Using Instrumented Indentation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)This study aims to develop a new method to characterize mechanical properties using instrumented indentation. The indentation results were correlated with observed microstructure in weld metal of gas metal arc welding ... -
Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Recycled Polyamide-Cellulose Fiber Composite
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-21)Natural fiber as an alternative for glass fiber to reinforce thermoplastic in the automotive industry has already attracted many manufacturers’ interest because of its many benefits. Natural fiber is biodegradable, has ... -
Evaluation of mercury stabilization mechanisms by sulfurized biochars determined using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-04-05)The application of biochar to treat mercury (Hg) in the environment is being proposed on an increasing basis due to its widespread availability and cost effectiveness. However, the efficiency of Hg removal by biochars is ... -
Evaluation of Miniaturized Mixer and Integrated Optical Components for Cell Sorting
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Conventional cell cytometers are often bulky and thus not convenient for bio-medical analysis where portable devices are desired. They also suffer from the drawback of high cost due to the complicated and expensive optical ... -
An evaluation of moisture dynamics and productivity of Sphagnum and Tomenthypnum mosses in western boreal peatlands, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-22)Western boreal peatlands have diverse ground covers of Sphagnum and brown mosses that have important hydrological controls on peatland-atmosphere interactions. Since peatland mosses are non-vascular, their shoot structural ... -
