The Idea of a Follower: An Investigation of Implicit Followership Theories and Their Correlates
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-28)Implicit followership theories (IFTs) are our subjective assumptions, or lay beliefs, about characteristics of followers. These beliefs can exert a powerful influence on workplace relationships between leaders and followers. ... -
Ideal Clutters
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Let E be a finite set of elements, and let C be a family of subsets of E called members. We say that C is a clutter over ground set E if no member is contained in another. The clutter C is ideal if every extreme point of ... -
Identification and characterization of a novel microsomal enzyme involved in cardiolipin synthesis and remodeling
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)Cardiolipin (CL) is a specialized dimeric phospholipid predominantly found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes. Following de novo synthesis, the acyl chains of CL are remodeled in a manner that is tissue- and ... -
