Metallurgical Issues in Low-Temperature Joining of Silver Nanowires
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-24)Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have a wide range of applications in the electronic industry and are attracting growing world-wide interest because of their unique thermal, chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. ... -
Metamaterials for Decoupling Antennas and Electromagnetic Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-25)This research focuses on the development of engineered materials, also known as meta- materials, with desirable effective constitutive parameters: electric permittivity (epsilon) and magnetic permeability (mu) to decouple ... -
Metamodel-Based Probabilistic Design for Dynamic Systems with Degrading Components
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-24)The probabilistic design of dynamic systems with degrading components is difficult. Design of dynamic systems typically involves the optimization of a time-invariant performance measure, such as Energy, that is estimated ... -
Metamorphic History of the Mougooderra Formation, Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-05)Sedimentary sequences are common in granite-greenstone belts of Archean terranes. In the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, the Mougooderra Formation is an extensive sedimentary sequence that preserves low-variance ... -
The Metamorphosis of Self: Phenomenological Insights into the Meaning of Being for Immigrant Artists
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-12)In 2013, 232 million people or 3.2 percent of the world's population lived outside their country of origin (United Nation’s Population Fund [UNPF], 2015). According to the UNPF, the majority of migrants venture into new ... -
Metamotivation: Emerging Research on the regulation of motivational states
(Elsevier, 2020)Until recently, research examining the self-regulation of motivation focused primarily on the strategies people use to bolster the amount of motivation they have for pursuing a task goal. In contrast, our metamotivational ... -
A Metamotivational Approach to Understanding Managers’ Beliefs About Motivationally Diverse Teams in the Domain of Regulatory Mode
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)Cultivating effective teams requires managers to integrate the efforts of individuals who often vary in their backgrounds, skills, and identities. One way that team members can differ from each other is in their motivational ... -
Metamotivational Beliefs about Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-30)Although intrinsic motivation is often viewed as preferable to more extrinsic forms of motivation, there is evidence that the adaptiveness of these motivational states depends on the nature of the task being completed ... -
Metasploit for Cyber-Physical Security Testing with Real-Time Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-29)Metasploit is a framework for cybersecurity testing. The Metasploit Framework introduced the Hardware Bridge API to enable security testing of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems and tests/attacks on the systems ... -
Metasurfaces for Antennas, Energy Harvesting and Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)Metamaterials are materials with artificial structures, engineered to produce electromagnetic properties not readily available in nature. Metamaterials have generated broad interest and utilization in various applications ... -
Metatranscriptomic analysis of pediatric acute sinusitis: pathogen detection and host response profiling
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-08)Acute sinusitis (AS) is the fifth leading cause of antibiotic prescriptions in children. Distinguishing bacterial AS from common viral upper respiratory infections in children is crucial to prevent unnecessary antibiotic ... -
Methane cycling in horticultural extracted, restored, and unrestored peatlands in central Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Horticulture peat extraction drastically changes peatland ecosystems and their carbon and greenhouse gas balance. Comprehensive study on the combined response of methane (CH4) cycling (i.e., CH4 production, oxidation, ... -
Methane Cycling in Northern Peatlands Following Wildfire
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-26)Peatlands are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle, they operate as long-term global sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and sources of methane (CH4). However, they are becoming increasingly ... -
Methane Dynamics in a Southern Ontario Calcareous Fen
