Local and landscape drivers of aquatic biodiversity in urban stormwater management facilities
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)Stormwater management facilities (SWMFs) are often constructed in urban areas to provide flood mitigation and runoff control, and thus replace some wetland functions. Yet, their suitability as habitat for wetland biota is ... -
Local Group Analogues
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)The abundance of satellite galaxies is a critical small-scale test of the standard cosmological model. From comparing the predictions of structure formation in simulations with observations of Local Group dwarf galaxies ... -
Locality and Exceptional Points in Pseudo-Hermitian Physics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-26)Pseudo-Hermitian operators generalize the concept of Hermiticity. Included in this class of operators are the quasi-Hermitian operators, which define a generalization of quantum theory with real-valued measurement outcomes ... -
Localization and possible functions of Arabidopsis HOTHEAD protein
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Molecular analyses using sixteen insertion-deletion polymorphic markers revealed that somatic sectoring occurs relatively frequently during the course of normal vegetative development. This is the first report that documents ... -
Long Range Polymer Chain Dynamics Probed with Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)A series of fluorescently labeled vinyl polymers bearing a C1-C18 side-chain (namely poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate), poly(octyl methacrylate), poly(lauryl methacrylate), and poly(stearyl methacrylate) ... -
Long Range Polymer Chain Dynamics Studied by Fluorescence Quenching
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-13)Over the years, fluorescence quenching experiments have provided a robust analytical means to retrieve information about the internal dynamics of macromolecules in general and the long range polymer chain dynamics (LRPCD) ... -
Long- and Short-Term Dynamics of the Wetlands in the Amboseli Savanna Ecosystem, Kenya
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The wetlands of the semi-arid savanna ecosystem of Amboseli are the critical dry-season range for a diverse wildlife population, as well as for livestock and humans. Changes in the migratory patterns and increases in ... -
Long-distance Movement over a Period of Days by a Female Myotis lucifugus in Newfoundland, Canada
(Humboldt Field Research Institute, 2021-02)Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown Myotis) is a regionally migrating bat, widely distributed throughout North America. Through long-term monitoring systems deployed in 2 locations in Newfoundland, Canada, we recorded the ... -
Long-lived Anatexis in the Exhumed Middle Crust from the Torngat Orogen and Eastern Core Zone: Constraints from Geochronology, Petrochronology, and Phase Equilibria Modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-11)The Torngat Orogen (southeastern Churchill Province, Canada) is a transpressional Paleoproterozoic orogen resulting from the collision between the North Atlantic Craton and the Core Zone (an Archean micro-continent) during ... -
Long-Range, Polymer Chain Dynamics of a "Stiff" Polymer. Fluorescence from Poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) with N-(1-Pyrenylmethyl)succinimide Groups
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-25)The steady-state fluorescence (SSF) spectra and time resolved fluorescence (TRF) decays of five poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) copolymers (PIMA), randomly labeled with N-(1-pyrenyl methyl)succinimide groups (Py-PIMA), ... -
Long-term changes in spring phytoplankton community composition in five south-central Ontario lakes and their relations with spring water chemistry and climate
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Spring is an ecologically important period for phytoplankton communities, as environmental stressors such as acid deposition and recovery, climate warming, and shoreline development may exert strong influence at this time ... -
Long-term decline in bat activity using passive acoustic monitoring and an equipment correction factor in Nova Scotia, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)Passive acoustic monitoring has grown in popularity as a technique to assess changes in activity levels of various taxa. However, there are few long-term and large-scale acoustic monitoring programs due to the current ... -
Long-term Effects of a Phragmites australis Invasion on Birds in a Lake Erie Coastal Marsh
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-23)Invasive Phragmites australis threatens the integrity of essential bird habitat in coastal marshes. Located on the north shore of Lake Erie, Long Point, Ontario provides habitat to thousands of breeding and migrating birds, ... -
Long-Term Fate of an Emplaced Coal Tar Creosote Source
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-09)An emplaced source of coal tar creosote within the sandy Borden research aquifer has provided an opportunity to document the long term (5140 days) natural attenuation for this complex mixture. Plumes of dissolved chemicals ... -
Long-term implantation of acoustic transmitters induces chronic inflammatory cytokine expression in adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Telemetry transmitters are frequently used in studies of wild fish migration and behavior. Although the effects of surgically implanted transmitters on survival, tag retention, healing and growth have been studied, there ... -
Longitudinal impact of newly acquired closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) on quality of life for low vision patients
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-09)Ongoing efforts to quantify changes in quality of life attributable to low vision rehabilitation have focused on the utility of a single test instrument to measure this multidimensional concept. It is hypothesized that ... -
