The Role of Local Knowledge in Sustaining Ecotourism Livelihood as an Adaptation to Climate Change
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-02)Ecotourism is a development strategy for many local communities in and around protected areas. Its ability to improve tourism opportunities, conservation and livelihoods is supported by many ecotourism studies. Such ... -
The Role of Melatonin in Amyloid Interactions with the Model Neuronal Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-29)The amyloid cascade hypothesis has long directed research efforts in understanding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), ever since it was first proposed through clinical evidence by Hardy and Higgins in 1992. ... -
The role of metamotivation in creating task-motivation fit
(American Psychological Association, 2016)One of the challenges of effective goal pursuit is being able to flexibly adapt to changing situations and demands. The current studies investigate whether individuals exhibit effective metamotivation—successful management ... -
The Role of Metamotivation in Managing the Motivation of Others: A Leadership Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)A central challenge faced by leaders is effectively managing the motivation of others. Integrating past research on leadership, motivation, and regulatory focus theory, I propose that metamotivation—the process of monitoring ... -
The Role of MMPs, Smad3 and Heat Shock Proteins in TGF-β-Induced Anterior Subcapsular Cataract Development
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-18)Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in anterior subcapsular cataract (ASC) development. In the first section of this thesis, an in-vitro rat lens model was used to determine the role of matrix ... -

The Role of Native Plant and Seed Collectors and Growers in Protecting Floral Diversity
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-31)The planting of native species is a common strategy for the conservation of biodiversity; it not only allows for the restoration of degraded habitat both within conservation reserves and the matrix lands between reserves, ... -
The Role of Nitrate in Controlling Iron Release from Sediment during Anoxia in Dimictic, Fresh Water Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-16)Recent research suggests the availability of reduced iron (Fe) is key in allowing cyanobacteria to outcompete eukaryotic phytoplankton. Cyanobacteria have a greater need for Fe than their eukaryotic competition and are ... -
Role of NOS-like proteins found in bacteria
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Nitric oxide (•NO) is a molecule with diverse biological effects involved in both signaling and defense mechanisms in mammalian systems. The production of •NO is catalyzed from L-Arginine by a family of enzymes known as ... -

The role of phospholamban (PLN) in potential protection of sarc(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) against oxidative stress
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-23)Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) sequesters Ca2+ from the cytosol to: i) aid in muscular relaxation and ii) refill SR Ca2+ stores for release upon subsequent stimulus for contraction. SERCA function is ... -
The Role of Phospholamban and Sarcolipin in Skeletal Muscle Disease
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-19)Sarcolipin (SLN) and phospholamban (PLN) are two small proteins that physically interact with and inhibit the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump. Results from our laboratory and others have shown that, ... -
Role of PINCH during early Xenopus embryogenesis
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-31)In the Xenopus embryo, cell rearrangements during early development require the dynamic modulation of adhesion. Cells primarily use the integrin family of transmembrane receptors for attachment to and interpretation of the ... -
The Role of Practical Reasoning and Typification in Consumer Analytics Work: An Ethnomethodological Study
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-07)Traditional scholarship views quantitative people-categorization in the workplace—i.e. the use of big data to group consumers and categorize their cultures—as primarily a problem of technical and statistical optimization. ... -
