Impacts of resource access road crossings on ecohydrology and carbon dynamics of boreal peatlands
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-04)Resource access road crossings are expected to alter peatland ecohydrological properties by obstructing surface and sub-surface water flows, providing favorable conditions to stimulate microbial activity, and ultimately ... -
Impacts of seismic line restoration on CO2, CH4, and biomass
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-21)Oil and gas exploration has resulted in over 300,000 km of linear disturbances, known as seismic lines, throughout boreal peatlands across Canada. Sites are left with altered hydrologic and topographic conditions that ... -
Impacts Of Seismic Line Restoration Techniques On Nutrient Biogeochemical Processes In A Boreal Fen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Peatlands contain 40 cm or more of partially-decomposed plant matter and sequester carbon and nutrients. The disturbance of peatlands alters these ecological functions. Seismic lines, long cutlines in the forest created ... -
The Impacts of Solvents, Heat Treatments and Hole Injection Layers on the Electroluminescent Lifetime of Organic Light-Emitting Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-15)Since their invention over three decades ago, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have attracted tremendous interest for display and solid-state lighting applications and have already been commercialized in smartphones, ... -
The Impacts of Stormwater Management on Hydromodification and Bedload Sediment Transport in a Gravel-bed Stream
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Global trends of increasing urbanization have led many researchers to attempt to quantify the resulting impacts on channel morphology and on the ecological health of urban channels. Overall, there has been a lack of research ... -
Impacts of temperature on Asian Carp life history and population growth
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)Asian carp (bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis; black carp, Mylopharyngodon piceus; grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella; and silver carp, H. molitrix) are a group of invasive species predicted to cause ecological and ... -
Impacts of the Introduction of an Express Transit Service in Waterloo Region
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-08)For more than a century, public transportation has played a significant role in society. Transit agencies, like other service industries, are intent on improving their quality of service so as to increase transit ridership ... -
Impacts of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) on the Travel Behavior of its Residents in Shenzhen, China
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)Rapid urbanization in cities across the world has generated a number of issues including urban sprawl, segregation of land uses, traffic congestion and negative environmental impacts. Transit-oriented development (TOD) has ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent and pharmaceutical exposure on innate cytokine expression of darters (Etheostoma spp.) in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various stressors and antigenic material present within their environments. The impact of stressors associated with wastewater-exposed environments on native ... -
Impairments in glucose and lipid metabolism in breast cancer patients
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-08)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients typically present with unhealthy body composition (high fat mass and low muscularity) near diagnosis. These body composition characteristics often worsen during treatment and ultimately ... -
Impedance Matching Networks for Wireless Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-16)Impedance matching implies maximum power transfer from source to load as well as minimum signal reflection from the load, in an RF system. This explains the importance of impedance matching networks and their continuously ... -
Imperfect Heart
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-04)Herein lies a personal inquiry and collection of beautiful ruin in an imperfect architectural world. The journey into abandoned ruin, born out of a curiosity to see what comes of viewing architecture in its darkest hours. ... -
