Changes in Conduit Artery Blood Flow and Diameter Post Blood Flow Restriction
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Flow mediated dilation (FMD) is a non-invasive test that assesses endothelial health and nitric oxide bioavailability; it is commonly used to examine changes in vascular health due to disease or de-conditioning. Currently, ... -
Changes in corneal thickness in keratoconic eyes with variation in scleral contact lens central clearance
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Purpose: There has been a resurgence of scleral lens wear, particularly for patients with corneal ectasia, such as keratoconus. This method of lens correction provides good visual acuity for these individuals and is often ... -
Changes in Gill Physiology and Energy Requirements of Darter Species (Etheostoma spp.) due to Effluent in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-18)The effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a major point source of contamination in Canadian waterways. Improvement of effluent quality to reduce contaminants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products, ... -
Changes in Physical Activity, Physical Function and Cognitive Function with Transition to Retirement Living
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-01)Physical activity is associated with slower physical and cognitive decline with aging. However, there are many barriers to physical activity among community-dwelling older adults. Retirement living may facilitate physical ... -
Changes in Sea Ice Motion and Exchange in the Beaufort Sea: 1997-2012
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-04)Sea ice motion and area exchange are investigated within the Beaufort Sea to examine the effects of a diminishing sea ice cover on the dynamics in the region. Monthly sea ice motion estimates are produced by applying a ... -
Changes in the biological characteristics of Canadian Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) populations in response to climate-induced environmental variation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-01)Abstract The thesis includes two studies of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, responses to climate variation. In the first chapter, site-specific data from a fishery on the Hornaday River, Northwest Territories (NWT), are ... -
Changes to Recreational Programming Within the School Environment and Student Physical Activity: A Longitudinal Examination from Year 2 to Year 3 of the COMPASS Study
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-16)Objective: This study examined the influence of changes to school recreational programming on the prevalence and likelihood of Ontario and Alberta secondary school students meeting the (i) Canadian Society for Exercise ... -
The changing influence of permafrost on peatlands hydrology
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-20)Hydrology and hydrological modelling in the far north is understudied, and many gaps exist in the current understanding and representation of northern thermal and hydrological systems. A combination of fieldwork and modelling ... -
Changing Lanes: Taking Vancouver’s laneway housing from feeding speculation to an affordable ownership model under a Community Land Trust
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Towards the end of 2017, after consultation with a series of reports, studies, and advisory groups, the Vancouver City Council has published the Housing Vancouver Strategy (2018-2027) and 3-Year Action Plan (2018-2020) ... -
A changing North: The implications of high-volume groundwater extraction and reduced water availability on sub-arctic peatland hydrology, connectivity, and geochemistry
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-05)Patterned bog and fen peatlands of the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) currently make up 90% of land cover in this region and form one of the largest continuous peatland complexes in the world. A globally significant storage of ... -
Channel Access Management for Massive Cellular IoT Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-13)As part of the steps taken towards improving the quality of life, many of everyday life activities as well as technological advancements are relying more and more on smart devices. In the future, it is expected that every ... -
Channel Allocation for Smooth Video Delivery over Cognitive Radio Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)Video applications normally demand stringent quality-of-service (QoS) for the high quality and smooth video playback at the receiver. Since the network is usually shared by multiple applications with diverse QoS requirements, ... -
Channel Based Relay Attack Detection Protocol
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)A relay attack is a potentially devastating form of a man-in-the-middle attack, that can circumvent any challenge-response authentication protocol. A relay attack also has no known cryptographic solution. This thesis ... -
