A Study of Infectious Disease Models with Switching
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-20)Infectious disease models with switching are constructed and investigated in detail. Modelling infectious diseases as switched systems, which are systems that combine continuous dynamics with discrete logic, allows for the ... -
A study of innate antiviral mechanisms using fish cell lines
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Understanding basic antiviral mechanisms in vertebrates is essential for developing methods to enhance antiviral responses and promote human and animal health. In fish these antiviral mechanisms are poorly understood, ... -
A study of insulated glazing unit surface temperature profiles using two-dimensional computer simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)This paper describes one part of a collaborative research project, including both measurement and simulation studies, aimed at determining the surface temperature of a set of insulated glazing units (IGUs). In this study ... -
Study of Ion and Solvent Transport through Graphene Oxide Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-10)Filtration membranes are required to be thin, robust, energy efficient, and accurate on selectivity. Graphene oxide (GO) is believed to be a potential next generation material for industrial membrane applications because ... -
Study of Laboratory and Field Techniques to Measure Shear Wave Parameters - Frequency Effects
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-14)Over the last decade, significance of correctly evaluating the dynamic properties of soil has been widely recognized by the research community. Among various parameters, shear wave velocity and damping ratio has been ... -
A Study of Linux Perf and Slab Allocation Sub-Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Today, modern processors are equipped with a special unit named PMU that enables software developers to gain access to micro-architectural level information such as CPU cycles count and executed instructions count. The PMU ... -
A Study of Mechanical Systems in Canadian High-rise Multi-unit Residential Buildings
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-29)Mechanical systems providing indoor environmental control and domestic hot water functions generally represent the largest consumer of energy in Canadian high-rise multi-unit residential buildings. Many different systems ... -
A Study of Mechanisms Governing Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Film Electric Biosensors
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-07)The successful fabrication and characterization of two chemiresistive platforms for biomolecule detection was demonstrated by this work. The Si/Silica based single walled nanotube thin film (SWNTTF) platform was developed ... -
A Study of Medium and High Voltage Form-Wound Coil Turn-to-Turn Insulation of Converter Fed Rotating Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-09)Converter fed medium voltage motors are increasingly being employed in industrial processes due to their higher efficiency and greater flexibility with respect to speed control. The increased use of motor adjustable speed ... -
A Study of Middle Power Diplomacy : as a Strategy of Leadership and Influence
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-08)The main goal of this research is to clarify the concept of “middle power” and to employ the idea to understand the diplomatic strategies that allow so called secondary powers, which are countries without substantial ... -
A Study of Mobility Models in Mobile Surveillance Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)This thesis explores the role mobile sensor's mobility model and how it affects surveillance system performance in term of area coverage and detection effectiveness. Several algorithms which are categorized into three ... -
A study of Nanofilled Silicone Dielectrics for Outdoor Insulation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-04)Polymeric insulators are now a common replacement for conventional porcelain and glass string insulators on overhead distribution and transmission lines. The use of this mature technology represents many advantages to the ... -
A study of object creators in JavaScript
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-23)Traditional object-oriented languages use typed classes to specify the shape and behaviour of objects. In JavaScript, object behaviour is less constrained. Learning how JavaScript programmers create objects can help us ... -
A study of one-turn quantum refereed games
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-13)This thesis studies one-turn quantum refereed games, which are abstract zero-sum games with two competing computationally unbounded quantum provers and a computationally bounded quantum referee. The provers send quantum ... -
A Study of Order-by-Disorder Phenomenon in Frustrated Magnetic Systems Near Criticality
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-25)Order-by-disorder is the phenomenon of the selection of a long-ranged ordered state by fluctuations in a many-body system. This mechanism, at first sight, seems paradoxical, since fluctuations (disorder) intuitively tend ... -
Study of Ozone Sensitivity to Precursors at High Spatial Resolution Using the Modified CMAQ-ADJ Model
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-25)In this thesis, I apply the adjoint for the Community Multiscale Air Quality model (hereafter CMAQ-ADJ) in a high spatial resolution study of the sensitivity of ozone to several of its precursors in the regions surrounding ... -
