Evidence for Participation of Anammox in Nitrogen Attenuation Observed in Groundwater Impacted by a Manure Lagoon
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)Decades of agricultural use of fertilizer and manure has resulted in nitrogen being the most common groundwater contaminant. Of the known processes for nitrogen attenuation, both denitrification and anammox produce a ... -
Evolution of Canadian Shield Groundwaters and Gases: Influence of Deep Permafrost
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Numerous glacial advances over the past 2 million years have covered the entire Canadian and Fennoscandian Shield outcrop. During glacial advance and retreat, permafrost is expected to form in front of the glacier. The ... -
The Evolution of Dark Matter Haloes in Mergers
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-22)In the standard Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model, the present-day universe contains dominant components of dark energy (Λ) and cold dark matter (CDM). Fluctuations in the initial distribution of dark matter ... -
EVOLUTION OF LAKE ERIE BASED ON THE POSTGLACIAL SEDIMENTARY RECORD BELOW THE LONG POINT, POINT PELEE, AND POINTE-AUX-PINS FORELANDS
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)The postglacial geological history of Lake Erie was interpreted primarily on the basis of borehole sedimentary sequences below the major accretionary forelands: Long Point, Point Pelee, and Pointe-aux-Pins. These data ... -
EVOLUTION OF MULTI-ARC ACCRETION SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE SOUTHERN BEISHAN OROGEN, CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT, NW CHINA
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is characterized as an accretionary orogen, evolved for ca. 800 m.y from late Mesoproterozoic to early Mesozoic. Its terminal collision and accretion generally commenced in the west ... -
The Evolution of Subhalo Orbits in Galaxy Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-23)Galaxies and their dark matter structures are commonly found within larger-scale structures called galaxy clusters. These clusters exhibit unique conditions to their constituent galaxies, as they have an elevated density ... -
Evolution of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in north-central Ontario from subglacial sediments
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-12)Till stratigraphic analysis of 10 sediment bluffs near Ogoki Post in the Hudson and James Bay Lowlands. -
The Evolving Search for Positive Electrode Host Materials for the Li-S Battery
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-06)High energy density storage systems are constantly being researched to support the demand for electric vehicles and use for renewable energy systems. One such energy storage system of interest is lithium-sulfur batteries ... -
Ex-situ dissolution of CO2 for carbon sequestration
(Elsevier, 2013)In this paper, a model for diffusion-controlled dissolution of CO2 droplets during co-current (CO2-brine) horizontal turbulent pipe flow is presented. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of ex-situ dissolution of ... -
Exact Results in Gauge Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-23)This thesis is devoted to the study of observables in the four dimensional superconformal N = 4 Yang-Mills theory. We will be focused on the problem of computing higher point correlation functions, scattering amplitudes ... -
Exact results in QFT: Minimal Areas and Maximal Couplings
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-14)This thesis is devoted to a two-pronged study of non-perturbative quantum field theory. In Part I we focus on the four-dimensional super conformal $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang Mills theory. We compute smooth Wilson loops and ... -
Exact Results in Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)Exact results are a key component for understanding any physical theory. Unfortunately in the context of quantum field theory (QFT) they are in general impossible to obtain, and we need some sort of approximations. However ... -
Exact Solutions and Black Hole Stability in Higher Dimensional Supergravity Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-20)This thesis examines exact solutions to gauged and ungauged supergravity theories in space-time dimensions D⩾5 as well as various instabilities of such solutions. I begin by using two solution generating techniques for ... -
Examination of Cadmium-Induced Heat Shock Protein Gene Expression in Xenopus laevis A6 Kidney Epithelial Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Cadmium is a highly toxic chemical and has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a human carcinogen. Cadmium is abundant in the environment, at specific work places, and in food and water. ... -
Examination of Contact Lenses and Dry Eye Using Evaporimetry
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-14)Purpose: Evaporimetry is a non-invasive technique used to assess the stability of the tear film. The test measures the rate of tear evaporation, and has been used to investigate dry eye, contact lenses, and the efficacy ... -
Examination of curcumin-induced heat shock protein gene expression in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-11)The heat shock response is a cellular homeostatic mechanism that is activated in response to stressful stimuli (e.g. heat shock, heavy metals, disease states etc.), which causes an increase in unfolded protein, which ... -
