Glacial Dispersion at the Canadian Malartic Gold Deposit
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-19)A novel drift prospecting approach detected components from previously established bedrock footprints at the world-class Canadian Malartic gold deposit within the site’s surrounding Quaternary sediments. The measured glacial ... -
Glassy States in Asymmetric Mixtures of Soft and Hard Colloids
(APS Physics, 2013-11-14)By employing rheological experiments, mode coupling theory, and computer simulations based on realistic coarse-grained models, we investigate the effects of small, hard colloids on the glassy states formed by large, soft ... -
Glazing Over Differences: Picuris Pueblo and Rio Grande Glaze Ware
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-19)Located in the northeastern corner of the Pueblo world, Picuris Pueblo exists on the fringe not only geographically but also archaeologically. In many ways, Picuris culture is unique, combining aspects of both Pueblo and ... -
Glazing System U-Value Measurement Using a Guarded Heater Plate Apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1988)Precise heat transfer measurements have been carried out during the last 20 years using a guarded heater plate apparatus. This apparatus has been adapted and used over the last several years to perform U-value measurements ... -
Gleaning in the 21st Century: Urban Food Recovery and Community Food Security in Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-28)Gleaning used to be an activity of the impoverished who would glean food from farms for their families. Now, formalized gleaning, which is harvesting food from where it is grown that would otherwise go to waste, is most ... -
The Global Fight Against HIV/AIDS: Has the United Nations Successfully Securitized HIV/AIDS?
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-05)HIV/AIDS is an urgent health issue in many areas of the world, particularly in Africa. In addition to reaching pandemic status, HIV/AIDS is also being elevated to the level of a security threat. While this is occurring ... -
Global Health from the Margins: contemplations from students engaging in interdisciplinary research
(journals.mcmaster.ca, 2018-04)Climate change, poverty, environmental degradation, and deepening inequality – the future before us offers no end of wicked problems and human health is deeply implicated in them all. This is not the first time we have ... -
Global land use and the future of sustainable consumption: projections of a coupled social-land use model
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-10)Throughout history, agricultural land use activities have shaped the environment and its inhabitants. Humans have sought to maintain their well-being for centuries by finding revolutionary ways to produce and gather food. ... -
Global Land Use Implications of Dietary Trends
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
Global land use implications of dietary trends
(PLOS One, 2018-08-08)Global food security and agricultural land management represent two urgent and intimately related challenges that humans must face. We quantify the changes in the global agricultural land footprint if the world were to ... -
Global motion perception is associated with motor function in 2-year-old children
(Elsevier, 2017-09-29)The dorsal visual processing stream that includes V1, motion sensitive area V5 and the posterior parietal lobe, supports visually guided motor function. Two recent studies have reported associations between global motion ... -
Global ocean redox changes before and during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
(Springer Nature, 2023-02-13)Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events are recognized as widespread deposits of marine organic-rich mudrocks temporally associated with mass extinctions and large igneous province emplacement. The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event is ... -
Global Risk Assessment of Natural Disasters: new perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-20)Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and volcanic activities has had devastating effects on human life. Risk is the probability of harmful consequences from the interaction of hazards and vulnerable ... -
Global Sampled-Data Regulation of a Class of Fully Actuated Invariant Systems on Simply Connected Nilpotent Matrix Lie Groups
(IEEE, 2021-02-09)We examine a regulator problem for a class of fully actuated continuous-time invariant systems on Lie groups, using a discrete-time controller with constant sampling period. We present a smooth discrete-time control law ... -
Global Stability of a Class of Difference Equations on Solvable Lie Algebras
(Springer, 2020-06-17)Motivated by the ubiquitous sampled-data setup in applied control, we examine the stability of a class of difference equations that arises by sampling a right- or left-invariant flow on a solvable matrix Lie group. The map ... -
Global Study of Tailings Dam Failures by Statistical and Remote Sensing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-26)The growth of the mining industry, mainly driven by increased resource demands, has accelerated the production and storage of mine waste. Tailings comprise the fine-grained fraction of this waste. Due to their intrinsically ... -
Global survey of the omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid in the blood stream of healthy adults
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)Studies reporting blood levels of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), were systematically identified in order to create a global map identifying countries ... -
Global trends in timing and rates of chlorophyll-a increase in cold-temperate and temperate lakes
(Geochemical Society, 2022-07-11)Lakes are key ecosystems within the global biogeosphere. However, the environmental controls on the biological productivity of lakes – including surface temperature, ice phenology, nutrient loads, and mixing regime – are ... -
