Internal Wave Interaction with Broad Topography in the Presence of a Near-Bottom Stratification
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-02)This thesis considers the impact of internal waves on the transport of suspended matter across the bottom boundary layer. High resolution two- and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of fully nonlinear, ... -
Internally Contracted Multireference Coupled Cluster Method and Normal-Order-Based Automatic Code Generator
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Single reference coupled cluster theory has been established as the method of choice for calculating electronic properties of small-to-medium size molecules. However, in typical multireference cases, such as bond breaking ... -
Internet Congestion Control: Modeling and Stability Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)The proliferation and universal adoption of the Internet has made it become the key information transport platform of our time. Congestion occurs when resource demands exceed the capacity, which results in poor performance ... -
Internet GIS for Air Quality Information Service for Dalian, China
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Since the 1970s, environmental monitoring in China has formed a complete web across the country with over 2000 monitoring stations. China State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) has published an annual report ... -
Interorganizational Partner Selection as Negotiation: A Study of Two Distance Education Consortia
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The choice of appropriate collaborative partners has consistently been reported as a key issue for contemporary managers. This study reports findings from a study which explored the process and criteria of partner ... -
Interpersonal Consequences of Self-Disclosures: The effect of self-esteem on perceived risks of self-disclosure
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Frequency of self-disclosure has been linked to many benefits for relationships, but people tend to dislike those who frequently disclose negativity. Individuals lower in self-esteem (LSEs) self-disclose less than individuals ... -
The interpersonal context of desire: Exploring associations between sexual desire, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction in romantic relationships
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)Research has consistently shown that sexual desire, the motivation to seek out or become receptive to sexual stimulation, is associated with positive intrapersonal and interpersonal outcomes (Chao et al., 2011; Dosch, ... -
Interplay between Autophagy and Apoptosis During Skeletal Muscle Differentiation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-07)Our previous studies showed that autophagy regulates apoptosis and is required for proper skeletal muscle differentiation. Previously, we inhibited autophagy in C2C12 cells using 3MA (3-methyladenine) treatment or shRNA ... -
The Interplay Between the Neuronal Plasma Membrane and Cell Signaling in Alzheimer’s Disease
(University of Waterloo, 2023-03-10)The lack of understanding in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has hindered efforts towards finding treatments that effectively modify disease trajectory. Therapeutic development for AD has ... -
Interplay of Disorder and Transverse-Field Induced Quantum Fluctuations in the LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 Ising Magnetic Material
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-25)The LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 magnetic material in a transverse magnetic field B_x perpendicular to the Ising spin direction has long been used to study tunable quantum phase transitions in pure and random disordered systems. We ... -
Interpolated Collision Model Formalism
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)The dynamics of open quantum systems (i.e., of quantum systems interacting with an uncontrolled environment) forms the basis of numerous active areas of research from quantum thermodynamics to quantum computing. One approach ... -
Interpolation Sets For Compact Abelian Groups
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-04)We will study various properties of I_0 and \epsilon-Kronecker sets. We show that most infinite sets in the discrete dual group contain infinite interpolation sets. -
INTERPRETATION OF PROCESSES IN DEVELOPING A NEW PROVINCIAL EDUCATION POLICY TO INCREASE STUDENT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-01)Objective: Significant efforts have been made to address childhood obesity. Overtime we have realized obesity requires strong political leadership and population level interventions, considering there are many environmental ... -
Interpretation of redox potential and assessment of oxyanion (As, Sb, Cr) mobility during oxic-anoxic oscillations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-10)Electron transfer (redox) reactions are key processes in the biogeochemical functioning of natural systems. Redox reactions control the speciation and mobility of major elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, iron, and manganese) ... -
Interpreting and Answering Keyword Queries using Web Knowledge Bases
