The effects of money laundering on the Canadian real estate market
(2021-04-01)White collar criminals benefit from their status and positions. Further, they invest the proceeds of crime into the Canadian real estate market, driving up the price of home ownership for working-class Canadians. This ... -
The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
(2014-07-01)The central nervous system’s (CNS) plastic ability allows for adaptation to the various physiological changes and experiences we encounter. This occurs through dynamic shifts within the connections and strengths of neural ... -
Effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the freshwater gastropod (Planorbella pilsbryi) in the laboratory and in situ integrating a multi-omic approach
(2023-09-01)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals that are globally used in consumer and industrial applications. Specifically, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been under scrutiny due to its ... -
Effects of physical activity and exercise on physical and mental health outcomes in female older adults with arthritis
(2017-01-01)Background: Arthritis is a chronic, degenerative disease, which affects two million older Canadians, of which the majority are older females (65+ years). With no cure, methods to improve arthritic symptoms are essential ... -
Effects of prebiotic fibre diets on rat mucosal intestinal and systemic immunity and in vitro mechanistic analysis of anti-inflammatory effects of lactobacillus strains on rat and human intestinal epithelial cells
(2012-08-01)Probiotics and prebiotics are emerging household terms, whose claimed health benefits share commonality. Their attributed health benefits include the production or induction of short chain fatty acids, maintaining bowel ... -
The effects of rapport building on information disclosure in virtual interviews
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2022-06-01)Rapport-building has been identified as an effective tool when interviewing victims and witnesses of events that may be sensitive in nature. The objective of this study was to examine the rapport-building process within a ... -
The effects of select non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on green and brown hydra
(2014-04-01)Effluent pharmaceuticals are released at low concentrations into aquatic ecosystems through waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are important contaminants in water cycles. ... -
Effects of soy and milk ferments on measures of innate immunity: a comparison of effects in normal and microgravity conditions
(2010-07-01)Probiotics can influence intestinal responses and mucosal immunity either directly or indirectly through transient modulation of the endogenous microenvironment or the immune system. During space travel, astronauts experience ... -
The effects of stereoscopic 3D on an incidence response training game
(2013-08-01)A critical incident is defined as one of the most serious situations that can occur at any institution. Among these critical incidents are fire hazards, which resulted in 224 civilian deaths, and approximately 1.5$ billion ... -
Effects of the geometric modifications on the shear layer excitation source in co-axial side branches
(2023-08-01)This comprehensive study delves into the interaction between shear layer oscillations and the acoustic field within co-axial cavities, spotlighting the efficacy of the sound source model as a reliable semi-empirical modeling ... -
The effects of the use of iPads in secondary physical education
(2013-08-01)This study investigates finding ways to improve engagement of students in Physical Education classes to inspire students to make healthy lifestyle choices. It appears that the existing barriers to the adoption of technology ... -
Efficient data search and synchronization for tree-structured data on mobile devices
(2015-11-01)We consider two methods about operating data for tree-structured data sets. The first method is to search particular data items and still retains all the important metadata information; the second method is to allow the ... -
Efficient design of reconfigurable intelligent surface assisted multi-group multicast beamforming
(2023-09-01)This thesis considers a multi-group multicasting scenario facilitated by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We propose low-complexity scalable algorithms for the joint design of the base station (BS) multicast ... -
