Enriched mixed finite element models for dynamic analysis of continuous and fractured porous media
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Enriched Finite Element Models are presented to more accurately investigate the transient and wave propagation responses of continuous and fractured porous media based on mixture theory. Firstly, the Generalized Finite ... -
Entangling qubit registers via many-body states of ultracold atoms
(American Physical Society, 2016-04-25)Inspired by the experimental measurement of the Rényi entanglement entropy in a lattice of ultracold atoms by Islam et al. [Nature (London) 528, 77 (2015)], we propose a method to entangle two spatially separated qubits ... -
Entropic Matroids and Their Representation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019)This paper investigates entropic matroids, that is, matroids whose rank function is given as the Shannon entropy of random variables. In particular, we consider p-entropic matroids, for which the random variables each have ... -
Entropic segregation of short polymers to the surface of a polydisperse melt
(Springer, 2017)Chain ends are known to have an entropic preference for the surface of a polymer melt, which in turn is expected to cause the short chains of a polydisperse melt to segregate to the surface. Here, we examine this entropic ... -
Entropically Driven Formation of Hierarchically Ordered Nanocomposites
(American Physical Society, 2002)Using theoretical models, we undertake the first investigation into the rich behavior that emerges when binary particle mixtures are blended with microphase-separating copolymers. We isolate an example of coupled self-assembly ... -
Environmental taxation: The impact of carbon tax policy commitment on technology choice and social welfare
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Motivated by multiple real-world settings, we determine a social welfare-maximizing regulator's tax policies that induce a profit-maximizing polluting firm to make green technology choices. Using a game-theoretic approach ... -
Enzymatic degradation of PET plastic
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-02)Previous work has shown that the degradation of plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using commercial grade enzymes is possible and highly effective in lab settings. However, the environmental factors controlling ... -
Epigenetics in teleost fish: from molecular mechanisms to physiological phenotypes
(Elsevier, 2018-10)While the field of epigenetics is increasingly recognized to contribute to the emergence of phenotypes in mammalian research models across different developmental and generational timescales, the comparative biology of ... -
Equations for deriving effect sizes for individual predictors and sets of predictors under specified conditions in multiple regression analysis: A technical report
(2022-05-27)This technical report provides equations for deriving effect sizes for individual predictors and sets of predictors under specified conditions in multiple regression (MR) analyses. The effect size metric being obtained in ... -
Equidistribution of Polynomial Sequences in Function Fields, with Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2023)We provide a function field analog of Weyl's classical theorem on equidistribution of polynomial sequences. Our result covers the case in which the degree of the polynomial is greater than or equal to the characteristic ... -
Equilibrium ex vivo calibration of homogenized tissue for in vivo SPME quantitation of doxorubicin in lung tissue
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)The fast and sensitive determination of concentrations of anticancer drugs in specific organs can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and minimize its adverse effects. In this paper, ex vivo solid-phase microextraction ... -
The Equity Dimension of Climate Change: Perspectives From the Global North and South
(Cogitatio, 2021-12-16)The articles in this thematic issue represent a variety of perspectives on the challenges for equity that are attributable to climate change. Contributions explore an emerging and important issue for communities in the ... -
Equity financing restrictions and the asset growth effect: International vs. Asian evidence
(Elsevier, 2019-10)This paper investigates the driver of asset growth to explain the cross-country variation of the asset growth effect. We find that institutional restrictions on equity financing constrain firms' abilities to grow assets, ... -
Equity in Urban Climate Change Adaptation Planning: A Review of Research
(Cogitatio, 2021-12-16)A growing number of cities are preparing for climate change by developing adaptation plans, but little is known about how these plans and their implementation affect the vulnerability of groups experiencing various forms ... -
The Erdős Theorem and the Halberstam Theorem in function fields
(Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, 2004)Introduction. For n ∈ N, define ω(n) to be the number of distinct prime divisors of n. The Tur´an Theorem [9] concerns the second moment of ω(n) and it implies a result of Hardy and Ramanujan [4] that the normal order of ... -
The Erdős–Kac theorem and its generalizations
(American Mathematical Society, 2008)Abstract. We give a survey of the Erd}o-Kac theorem and its various generalizations. In particular, we discuss an open conjecture of Erd}os and Pomerance about the distribution of the number of distinct prime divisors of ... -
Esquisse des chemins de la création chez Robert Melançon et Jacques Brault
(Lécole des langues et littératures de l'Université de Guelph., 2017)Résumé Cette étude s’intéresse au discours portant sur la création poétique dans les œuvres de Robert Melançon et de Jacques Brault, faisant ressortir certains de leurs points communs et de leurs différences. Chez Robert ... -
Estimates of gridded relative changes in 24-h extreme rainfall intensities based on pooled frequency analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The potential effect of climate change needs to be considered in urban infrastructure design and risk assessment to improve reliability. The present study proposes a methodology for obtaining grid-scale relative changes ... -
Estimating ancient seawater isotope compositions and global ocean redox conditions by coupling the molybdenum and uranium isotope systems of euxinic organic-rich mudrocks
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)The sedimentary Mo and U isotope systems have been commonly used as novel global ocean redox tracers due to their long oceanic residence times and redox-sensitive behavior. However, local sedimentary environments and ... -
Estimating Noise Floor in Sentinel-1 Images With Linear Programming and Least Squares
(IEEE, 2021-08-13)Sentinel-1 is a synthetic aperture radar platform that provides free and open source images of the Earth. A product type of Sentinel-1 is Ground Range Detected (GRD), which records intensity while discarding phase information ...
