Impacts of Mixtures of Copper and 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone on Physiology and Gene Expression in Lemna gibba L.G-3
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-21)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals are co-contaminants of aquatic environments near industrial and urbanized areas. Mixtures could result in synergistic toxicity impairing macrophyte growth and potentially ... -
Impacts of Psychrophilic Conditions on Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors Treating Municipal Wastewater
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-27)Three 5 L AnMBRs that incorporated submerged ZeeWeed® hollow fibre PVDF membranes with a nominal pore size of 0.04 µm and a nominal membrane surface area of 0.047 m2 were employed. The AnMBRs were operated at a solids ... -
Impacts of resource access road crossings on ecohydrology and carbon dynamics of boreal peatlands
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-04)Resource access road crossings are expected to alter peatland ecohydrological properties by obstructing surface and sub-surface water flows, providing favorable conditions to stimulate microbial activity, and ultimately ... -
Impacts of seismic line restoration on CO2, CH4, and biomass
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-21)Oil and gas exploration has resulted in over 300,000 km of linear disturbances, known as seismic lines, throughout boreal peatlands across Canada. Sites are left with altered hydrologic and topographic conditions that ... -
Impacts Of Seismic Line Restoration Techniques On Nutrient Biogeochemical Processes In A Boreal Fen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Peatlands contain 40 cm or more of partially-decomposed plant matter and sequester carbon and nutrients. The disturbance of peatlands alters these ecological functions. Seismic lines, long cutlines in the forest created ... -
The Impacts Of Simultaneous Disease Intervention Decisions On Epidemic Outcomes
(Elsevier, 2016-04-21)Mathematical models of the interplay between disease dynamics and human behavioural dynamics can improve our understanding of how diseases spread when individuals adapt their behaviour in response to an epidemic. Accounting ... -
The Impacts of Solvents, Heat Treatments and Hole Injection Layers on the Electroluminescent Lifetime of Organic Light-Emitting Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-15)Since their invention over three decades ago, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have attracted tremendous interest for display and solid-state lighting applications and have already been commercialized in smartphones, ... -
The Impacts of Stormwater Management on Hydromodification and Bedload Sediment Transport in a Gravel-bed Stream
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Global trends of increasing urbanization have led many researchers to attempt to quantify the resulting impacts on channel morphology and on the ecological health of urban channels. Overall, there has been a lack of research ... -
Impacts of temperature on Asian Carp life history and population growth
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)Asian carp (bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis; black carp, Mylopharyngodon piceus; grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella; and silver carp, H. molitrix) are a group of invasive species predicted to cause ecological and ... -
Impacts of the Introduction of an Express Transit Service in Waterloo Region
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-08)For more than a century, public transportation has played a significant role in society. Transit agencies, like other service industries, are intent on improving their quality of service so as to increase transit ridership ... -
Impacts of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) on the Travel Behavior of its Residents in Shenzhen, China
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)Rapid urbanization in cities across the world has generated a number of issues including urban sprawl, segregation of land uses, traffic congestion and negative environmental impacts. Transit-oriented development (TOD) has ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent and pharmaceutical exposure on innate cytokine expression of darters (Etheostoma spp.) in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various stressors and antigenic material present within their environments. The impact of stressors associated with wastewater-exposed environments on native ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent on energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The objective of this study was to assess the effects of municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent on the energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum). Male and female rainbow darter were ... -
Impacts on Metabolism and Gill Physiology of Darter Species (Etheostoma spp.) That Are Attributed to Wastewater Effluent in the Grand River
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-11-25)The effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a major point source of contamination in Canadian waterways. The improvement of effluent quality to reduce contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care ... -
Impactus Finiens Orbem Terrarum: An Updated Risk Assessment of World Ending Asteroid Impacts
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-01)As technology develops, the rate of discovering and observing space tends to relatively increase. Our understanding of how the Universe works, and how the planets interact with one another make us weary of what is to come. ... -
