(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Migratory insertion reactions (MIRs) of PFpR [PFp = (PPh2(CH2)3Cp)Fe(CO)2, R = (CH2)5CH3 or (CH2)4CH=CH2], which involve migratory insertion polymerization (MIP) and intramolecular migratory insertion cyclization (MIC), ... -
Effective Thermal Conductivity of Composite Fluidic Thermal Interface Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Thermally enhanced greases made of dispersions of small conductive particles suspended in fluidic polymers can offer significant advantages when used as a thermal interface material (TIM) in microelectronics cooling ... -
Effective Use of SSDs in Database Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-07)With the advent of solid state drives (SSDs), the storage industry has experienced a revolutionary improvement in I/O performance. Compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs benefit from shorter I/O latency, ... -
Effectiveness of Organic Carbon Cover Systems on Sulfide-rich Tailings
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-27)Acid mine drainage (AMD) occurs when sulfide minerals oxidize; generating low pH water and the release of dissolved metals. This phenomena is of primary concern in the mining industry, where the future loading of dissolved ... -
The Effectiveness of Persulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide on the Oxidation of Hydrocarbon Contaminants at 30°C: A Study with Focus on the Performance of Compound Specific Isotope Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-05)Two oxidants, persulfate and hydrogen peroxide, were used to investigate the effectiveness of in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) on target contaminants (sourced from industrial wastewater) in saline and high-temperature ... -
The Effectiveness of Persulfate in the Oxidation of Petroleum Contaminants in Saline Environment at Elevated Groundwater Temperature
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-08)In the past few decades, several aqueous oxidants have been employed (e.g., permanganate, persulfate) to remediate petroleum hydrocarbons. However, the majority of the research in this field has been focused primarily on ... -
The effectiveness of photocatalysis on reducing the toxicity of oil sands process-affected water to Lemna minor
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is a by-product produced by the surface-mining of oil sands in Alberta, Canada. OSPW has been found to be acutely and chronically toxic to many forms of wildlife, and due to the ... -
The Effectiveness of the Internet as a Marketing Tool in Tourism
(University of Waterloo, 2004)With the ever-increasing number of people accessing the Internet and the recent explosion of e-commerce world wide, there are considerable implications for the tourism industry. Tourism suppliers are investing in the ... -
Effectiveness of Transit Signal Priority Strategies at Intersections with High Truck Volumes
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-27)This thesis discusses the effectiveness of two Transit Signal Priority (TSP) strategies, Queue Jump Lane combined with Advanced Transit Signal (QJL-TS) and Green Extension (GE), at an isolated intersection during ... -
Effectiveness of Vibration-based Haptic Feedback Effects for 3D Object Manipulation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-14)This research explores the development of vibration-based haptic feedback for a mouse-like computer input device. The haptic feedback is intended to be used in 3D virtual environments to provide users of the environment ... -
The Effects of 1-(5-Iodonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-1H-hexahydro-1,4-diazepine hydrochloride (ML-7) on the Lens During Avian Accommodation In Situ
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-17)A previous study in chickens revealed that myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), f actin, and myosin are found on the crystalline lens. Their polygonal arrangement at the posterior surface resembles a muscle tissue, which ... -
Effects of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal on SERCA pump structure and function in skeletal and cardiac muscle
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-30)The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pumps are approximately 100 kDa transmembranous proteins that catalyze the ATP-dependent transport of cytosolic Ca2+ [Ca2+]i into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), thereby ... -
The Effects of 60 Days of Head Down Bed Rest on Vascular Health
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This study was designed to test the hypothesis that 60 days continuous head down bed rest (HDBR), an Earth-based analogue of the effects of space flight, would elevate factors that increase vasoconstriction and would ... -
Effects of a bacterial ACC deaminase on plant growth-promotion
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Plants often live in association with growth-promoting bacteria, which provide them with several benefits. One such benefit is the lowering of plant ethylene levels through the action of the bacterial enzyme 1-aminocyclo ... -
