Evaluation of Hydraulic Conductivity Collected by Various Approaches at a Highly Heterogeneous Field Site
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-27)Significant research efforts have been conducted over the last several decades to better understand the groundwater flow and subsurface contaminant transport. It has been found that building a groundwater model for remediation ... -
Evaluation of indicators of stress in populations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos)
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-16)Grizzly and polar bears are both species at the top of the food chain in their respective ecosystems, and as such are indicative of the overall health of the ecosystem. Presently there is little data regarding the stress ... -
Evaluation of mercury stabilization mechanisms by sulfurized biochars determined using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-04-05)The application of biochar to treat mercury (Hg) in the environment is being proposed on an increasing basis due to its widespread availability and cost effectiveness. However, the efficiency of Hg removal by biochars is ... -
Evaluation of Stable Chlorine and Bromine Isotopes in Sedimentary Formation Fluids
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Two new analytical methodologies were developed for chlorine and bromine stable isotope analyses of inorganic samples by Continuous-Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (CF-IRMS) coupled with gas chromatography (GC). ... -
An Evaluation of the Effect of Primary Care Pharmacist Interventions on Patients with Chronic Pain
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Background: Chronic pain is a common condition that has significant impact on patients’ physical and psychological well-being. Pharmacotherapeutic management of chronic pain differs on the basis of the cause pain. ... -
Evaluation of the Potential Impacts of Submerging the Oxidized Tailings and Adding a Cover Layer at Mine Principale
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-24)Oxidation of sulfide minerals generates acid and forms various secondary phases including Fe(III) (oxy)hydroxide phases, jarosite, and gypsum, which can attenuate hazardous metal(loid)s by precipitation, co-precipitation, ... -
Evaluation of the Removal of Perfluoroalkyl Substances from Aqueous Matrices in the Presence of Zerovalent Iron
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-17)Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants present in the environment that pose a threat to human health. PFASs primarily reside within aqueous phases and are present in ... -
Evaluation of Traditional Hydrogeologic Characterization Approaches in a Highly Heterogeneous Glaciofluvial Aquifer/Aquitard System
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional hydrogeologic characterization approaches in a highly heterogeneous glaciofluvial aquifer at the North Campus Research Site (NCRS), situated on the ... -
Evaporation induced wrinkling of graphene oxide at the nanoparticle interface
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01-21)With the thickness of only a single atomic layer, graphene displays many interesting surface properties. A general observation is that wrinkles are formed on graphene oxide (GO) when it is dried in the presence of adsorbed ... -
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 ... -
