(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-15)Non-point source anthropogenic nutrient loading through intensive farming practices is a global source of water quality degradation by creating harmful algal blooms in aquatic ecosystems. Phosphorus, as the key nutrient ... -
The impact of standardized cigarette packaging among young women in Canada: A discrete choice experiment
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-25)Cigarette packaging is the most prominent form of tobacco promotion in Canada. Tobacco companies are increasingly selling cigarettes in innovative packaging, including the use of slim and super-slim “lipstick” sizes that ... -
The Impact of Teams in Multiagent Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-31)Across many domains, the ability to work in teams can magnify a group's abilities beyond the capabilities of any individual. While the science of teamwork is typically studied in organizational psychology (OP) and areas ... -
Impact of Technology Scaling on Leakage Reduction Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)CMOS technology is scaling down to meet the performance, production cost, and power requirements of the microelectronics industry. The increase in the transistor leakage current is one of the most important negative side ... -
Impact of the antidepressant venlafaxine on the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal axis function in rainbow trout
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-27)Over the recent years, venlafaxine has become the predominant antidepressant drug detected in municipal wastewater effluents (MWWE) and aquatic systems. However, very little is known about the effect of this drug in the ... -
Impact of the Horse River wildfire on the form and mobility of particulate phosphorus in a drinking water reservoir: Efficacy of dredging to manage internal phosphorus loading
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-22)Forests are critical source water regions that are under increasing threat of wildfire which can accelerate the transfer of sediment from hillslope to receiving streams and downstream environments such as reservoirs. These ... -
Impact of the Kenow wildfire on the form and mobility of particulate phosphorus in gravel-bed rivers at large basin scales: Implications for downstream propagation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-25)Landscape disturbance by wildfire in forested source water regions can significantly accelerate fine sediment transport from hillslopes to receiving streams. The mobilization of fine sediment and associated nutrients, such ... -
The Impact of the Transfer of Intangible Assets on the Valuation Effects of High-Tech Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-04)The technology industry is characterized by a greater than usual reliance on intangible assets. During the tech bubble many firms were valued entirely on intangible assets and growth prospects. In the aftermath of the ... -
Impact of the Wisconsinian Glaciation on Canadian Continental Groundwater Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-19)During the Quaternary period, cyclic glaciations have occurred over a global scale as the result of a climatic variability that affected the Earth's atmospheric, oceanic and glacial systems. Quaternary glaciations and their ... -
The Impact of Training on Naming and Producing Actions to Novel Objects
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-06)Visual object similarity, action similarity and semantic information are believed to influence both object naming and action production. The Naming and Action Model (NAM) developed by Yoon, Heinke, and Humphreys (2002) ... -
