Instructor presence effect: Liking does not always lead to learning
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Online education provides the opportunity to present lecture material to students in different formats or modalities, however there is debate about which lecture formats are best. Here, we conducted four experiments with ... -
Integrated estimation structure for the tire friction forces in ground vehicles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07)This paper presents a novel corner-based force estimation method to monitor tire capacities required for the traction and stability control systems. This is entailed for more advanced vehicle stability systems in harsh ... -
An integrated microfluidic device for the sorting of yeast cells using image processing
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-23)The process of detection and separation of yeast cells based on their morphological characteristics is critical to the understanding of cell division cycles, which is of vital importance to the understanding of some diseases ... -
An integrated personnel allocation and machine scheduling problem for industrial size multipurpose plants
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)This paper describes the development and implementation of an optimization model to solve the integrated problem of personnel allocation and machine scheduling for industrial size multipurpose plants. Although each of these ... -
Integrating Equity and Reconciliation Work into Archival Descriptive Practice at the University of Waterloo
(Archivaria, 2021-06)Despite sustained calls for a critical review of harmful content within archival descriptive records, there remains much to be explored by way of implications for Canadian academic archives. This article addresses the ... -
Intelligent Monte Carlo: A new paradigm for inverse polymerization engineering
(Wiley, 2018-05)Traditional computational methods simulate the microstructure of polymer chains from input reaction conditions, but a need exists for predicting optimum reaction conditions in a computationally-demanding multi-variable ... -
Intentional tanning among adolescents in seven Canadian provinces: Provincial comparisons (CRAYS 2015)
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)This report explores intentional tanning behaviors among Canadian high school students in light of provincial restrictions on UV tanning device use among youth. Data are from the Cancer Risk Assessment in Youth Survey ... -
Inter-laboratory validation of a thin film microextraction technique for determination of pesticides in surface water samples
(Elsevier, 2017-04-29)The primary goal of the present study is the inter-laboratory evaluation of a thin film microextraction (TFME) technique to be used as an alternative approach to liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). Polydimethylsiloxane/ ... -
Interactive effects of vegetation and water table depth on belowground C and N mobilization and greenhouse gas emissions in a restored peatland
(Springer, 2020-01-27)Aims This study assesses the relative effects of hydrology and colonization by vascular plants on belowground C and N mobilization, and emission of CO2 and CH4 in an extracted bog under restoration in Alberta (Canada). ... -
Interconnections accelerate collapse in a socio-ecological metapopulation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2017-09-28)Resource over-exploitation can have profound effects on both ecosystems and the human populations residing in them. Models of population growth based on a depletable resources have been studied previously, but relatively ... -
Interfacial bonding mechanism in Al/coated steel dissimilar refill friction stir spot welds
(Elsevier, 2019-06-01)Defect-free dissimilar Al/zinc coated steel and Al/AlSi coated steel welds were successfully fabricated by refill friction stir spot welding. However, Al alloy and uncoated steel could not be welded under the same weldin ... -
