Island biogeography theory and the urban landscape: stopover site selection by the silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans)
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-04)Many migratory bats require forested sites for roosting and foraging along their migration path, but increased urbanization and intensive agricultural practices may reduce the availability of stopover sites. Urban forests ... -
Islands at Risk - Analyzing Resource-use Dynamics from a Socio-metabolic Research Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-19)Our resource-use dynamics have contributed significantly to the improvement in global material standards of living through the provisioning of essential societal services. Nonetheless, these dynamics have also impacted on ... -
THE ISLINGTON GALLERY OF ART: An Architectural Implementation of the 'Third Place'
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)This thesis proposes turning a Toronto subway station into a gallery that will display temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Islington subway station, on the corner of Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue, will ... -
An Isogeny-Based Adaptor Signature Using SQISign
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-19)Transactions on blockchains can prove very costly, so as a solution to avoid these large costs, schemes involving payment channel networks have been developed. One approach to implementing these off-chain forms of payment ... -

Isolation and Characterization of Host Mutations that Suppress the Bacteriophage Lambda (λ) Rex Phenotype
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-01)The Bacteriophage lambda (λ) T4rII exclusion (Rex) phenotype is defined as the inability of T4rII mutant bacteriophage to form plaques on a lawn of E. coli lysogenized by bacteriophage λ. More than six decades have passed ... -
Isotope hydrology and paleohydrology of the Slave River Delta, NWT
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)Water isotope tracers and multi-proxy paleolimnological approaches are used to characterize the present and past hydrology of the Slave River Delta (SRD), NWT. This research addresses crucial gaps in knowledge about the ... -

Isotope-Inferred Water Balance of Slave River Delta Lakes, NWT, Canada.
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)The use of the stable isotopes, 18O and 2H, has proven to be a valuable tool in determining the importance of various hydrological controls on the modern water balances of Slave River Delta lakes, NWT, Canada. Samples ... -
Isotopic niche use by the invasive mysid Hemimysis anomala in the Laurentian Great Lakes basin
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-03)Invasive species are a known stressor on aquatic ecosystems, particularly in the waters of the Great Lakes basin. A recent invader, Hemimysis anomala, has had significant impacts on the food webs of Europe, where it invaded ... -
Isotropic-Helicoidal Transition of Semiflexible Polymers Confined to a Spherical Surface
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-15)A semiflexible polymer confined to a spherical surface is used as a basic model for understanding DNA conformation in restricted space. By means of Monte Carlo simulation for a bead-rod chain generated on a spherical ... -
Isovist Analysis as a Tool for Capturing Responses Towards the Built Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-02)Experience of the built-environment is said to be dependent on visual perception and the physical properties of space. Scene and environmental preference research suggests that particular visual features greatly influence ... -
Issues in Computer Vision Data Collection: Bias, Consent, and Label Taxonomy
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)Recent success of the convolutional neural network in image classification has pushed the computer vision community towards data-rich methods of deep learning. As a consequence of this shift, the data collection process ... -
Issues in Implementation of Public Key Cryptosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A new class of moduli called the low-weight polynomial form integers (LWPFIs) is introduced. LWPFIs are expressed in a low-weight, monic polynomial form, <em>p</em> = <em>f</em>(<em>t</em>). While the generalized ... -
