Evidence for Participation of Anammox in Nitrogen Attenuation Observed in Groundwater Impacted by a Manure Lagoon
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)Decades of agricultural use of fertilizer and manure has resulted in nitrogen being the most common groundwater contaminant. Of the known processes for nitrogen attenuation, both denitrification and anammox produce a ... -
Evidence-based Software Process Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-27)Developing a large software system involves many complicated, varied, and inter-dependent tasks, and these tasks are typically implemented using a combination of defined processes, semi-automated tools, and ad hoc practices. ... -
Evidential Reasoning for Multimodal Fusion in Human Computer Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Fusion of information from multiple modalities in Human Computer Interfaces (HCI) has gained a lot of attention in recent years, and has far reaching implications in many areas of human-machine interaction. However, a ... -
Evocative Infrastructure: An Urban Cave at Yonge-Eglinton Station
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-15)The transition below grade demarcates a portal into a different realm. Underground architecture calls for a unique approach to design. This thesis is interested in looking at underground architecture through a phenomenological ... -
Evolution and Architecture of Open Source Software Collections: A Case Study of Debian
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Software has been studied at a variety of granularities. Code, classes, groups of classes, programs and finally large scale applications have been examined in detail. What lies beyond is the study of software collections ... -
The Evolution of a Supervisory Controller for a Split Parallel Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)The growing global acceptance of alternative fuels and electrified vehicles, accelerated by stricter emission rules, has accentuated the demand for more engineers who are adept in advanced vehicle technologies, particularly ... -
Evolution of Canadian Shield Groundwaters and Gases: Influence of Deep Permafrost
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Numerous glacial advances over the past 2 million years have covered the entire Canadian and Fennoscandian Shield outcrop. During glacial advance and retreat, permafrost is expected to form in front of the glacier. The ... -
The Evolution of Dark Matter Haloes in Mergers
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-22)In the standard Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model, the present-day universe contains dominant components of dark energy (Λ) and cold dark matter (CDM). Fluctuations in the initial distribution of dark matter ... -
EVOLUTION OF LAKE ERIE BASED ON THE POSTGLACIAL SEDIMENTARY RECORD BELOW THE LONG POINT, POINT PELEE, AND POINTE-AUX-PINS FORELANDS
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)The postglacial geological history of Lake Erie was interpreted primarily on the basis of borehole sedimentary sequences below the major accretionary forelands: Long Point, Point Pelee, and Pointe-aux-Pins. These data ... -
EVOLUTION OF MULTI-ARC ACCRETION SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE SOUTHERN BEISHAN OROGEN, CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT, NW CHINA
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is characterized as an accretionary orogen, evolved for ca. 800 m.y from late Mesoproterozoic to early Mesozoic. Its terminal collision and accretion generally commenced in the west ... -
The Evolution of Reason
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-17)Aristotle’s metaphysics bridges the gap between mind and nature explaining how their relationship constitutes development in life. Charles Sanders Peirce’s objective idealism similarly aims to investigate how the principles ... -
The Evolution of Subhalo Orbits in Galaxy Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-23)Galaxies and their dark matter structures are commonly found within larger-scale structures called galaxy clusters. These clusters exhibit unique conditions to their constituent galaxies, as they have an elevated density ... -
The Evolution of the Built Environment of Heritage Communities: Comparative Case Study of St. Jacobs and Creemore, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-09)Many rural communities utilize heritage resources as a tourism strategy to attract urban residents who desire the amenities found in historic communities. Current research finds that increased investment and popularity ... -
