(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-24)Current North American operational satellite passive microwave snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval algorithms consistently underestimate SWE levels for tundra environments when compared to four years of regional snow ... -
The Influence of Social Engagement on Exercise-Associated Cognitive and Affective Changes in Older Adult Women
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-20)Single bouts of aerobic exercise appear to elicit improvements in cognition and affect among older adults, which are dependent on exercise dose (intensity, duration). Social engagement, not typically considered in exercise ... -
The Influence of Social Networks on Mental and Emotional Health Resource-Seeking Behaviours Amongst Women who are Refugees from Syria
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-12)Background and Objectives: While the arrival of migrants into Canada from foreign countries is not a new phenomenon, recent years have seen a larger than usual influx of individuals come into the nation. Between 2015 and ... -
The influence of social vulnerability on cognitive decline and hospitalization among older assisted living residents with and without dementia
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-14)Background: Concerns regarding social vulnerability have been reported among various populations including community-dwelling older adults, long-term care residents, and assisted living (AL) residents. Social vulnerability ... -
The influence of soil moisture, oxygen, and temperature on naphthalene biodegradation and CO2 and CH4 effluxes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-22)Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) are essential to the functioning of the industrialized world yet serve a potential threat to human and ecosystem health when they inadvertently enter the environment. In recent decades, ... -
Influence of Soil Parameters on Local Pier Scour Depth
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-15)Bridge scour is a phenomenon where erosion of the sediment bed surrounding bridge foundation occurs due to fluid forces arising from currents, waves, and turbulence. Scour around foundation components such as piers, piles ... -
The Influence of Stakeholder Values on the Acceptance of Water Reallocation Policy in Southern Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-20)Historically, a great deal of water has been allocated to the agricultural sector in Alberta to support economic development and to contribute to food security. However, demand from other areas has increased in recent ... -
The Influence of Study Context on Recollection: Cognitive, Neural, and Age-Related Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-20)This thesis examines how the context in which an item is studied affects the phenomenological experience of the rememberer. Previous research has extensively studied how the match between study and test context affect ... -
The influence of sugar taxes and front-of-package nutrition labels on consumer purchasing behaviours: a randomized experimental marketplace
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-16)Background: Poor dietary intake remains one of the leading causes of non-communicable disease in Canada and globally. In response, sugar taxes and front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling systems are increasingly being ... -
Influence of Sulphide on the Degradation Pathways for Chlorinated Ethenes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Although iron-based permeable reactive barriers are gaining importance in the treatment of groundwater contaminants, there have been field observations indicating that sulphide may affect the degradation rates of certain ... -
The Influence of Task Demands on Manual Asymmetries for Reaching Movements to Tools
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-13)In this dissertation, three experiments were conducted that examined the influence of task demands on manual asymmetries for the performance of reaching movements to tools. In all three experiments, the difference between ... -
Influence of Temperature on the Catalytic Function of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-22)Enzymes are well known for their importance in biological systems. One of these enzymes, PEPCK, has been well studied and characterized over the years. Successful catalysis in PEPCK is very dependent on mobile loop elements ... -
Influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability on the climate response to external forcing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-29)Internal climate variability has been found to influence the climate response to an external forcing such as CO2. This thesis investigates the influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV), a mode of internal ... -
