Study of Transition Metal Phosphides as Anode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries: Phase Transitions and the Role of the Anionic Network
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This study highlights the importance of the anion in the electrochemical uptake of lithium by metal phosphides. It is shown through a variety of <em>in-situ</em> and <em>ex-situ</em> analytical techniques that the redox ... -
Study of unintentional As incorporation into AlSb and interfacial layers within InAs/AlSb superlattices
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-21)Highly strained interfaces may exist between indium arsenide (InAs) and aluminum antimonide (AlSb) layers grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The composition and thickness of the interfacial layers strongly influence ... -
A Study of Using Chinese Restaurant Process Mixture Models in Information Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-16)Retrieval systems help users to isolate relevant information from massive data collections. Usually, a user obtains useful information by submitting a query to such a system. One critical issue is that a query could have ... -
Study of Various Detection Mechanisms for Photoacoustic Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a developing imaging technique that has been researched for several clinical applications including oncology, neurology, dermatology and ophthalmology. PAI combines the benefits of pure optical ... -
Study of Vehicle Dynamics with Planar Suspension Systems (PSS)
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)The suspension system of a vehicle is conventionally designed such that the spring-damper element is configured in the vertical direction, and the longitudinal connection between the vehicle chassis and wheels is always ... -
A Study of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Power Transfer Operation in V2G-Equipped Microgrid
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-15)Bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system utilizes the batteries of parked electric-drive-vehicles to provide energy storage and backup services in a power system. Such services in a V2G-equipped microgrid system can be ... -
A Study of Velocity-Dependent JND of Haptic Model Detail
(University of Waterloo, 2010-11-01)The study of haptics, or the sense of touch in virtual reality environments, is constantly looking for improvements in modeling with a high fidelity. Highly detailed models are desirable, but they often lead to slow ... -
A study of volumetric contact modelling approaches in rigid tyre simulation for planetary rover application
(Inderscience, 2014-01-01)For planetary rover applications, a volumetric contact modelling approach is used to capture the dynamics of the rigid tyre/soil interface. The volumetric contact model allows for determining closed-form expressions for ... -
The study of Washington, DC as an embodiment of national identity and a design proprosal for a slave memorial on the National Mall
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-21)The National Mall in Washington DC has become an “encyclopaedia of American history,” however conspicuous in its absence, is the history of African American slavery upon which this national artifact was built. Slavery may ... -
Study on Distortion Control in Nozzle Welding of Stainless Steel Pressure Vessels
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-26)The welding of austenite stainless steel often results in large amount of welding distortion due to its high thermal expansion coefficient and low thermal conductivity. This has created great difficulty in the dimensional ... -
Study on fatigue life of bend-twist coupling wind turbine blade based on anisotropic beam model and stress-based fatigue analysis method
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Bend-twist coupling (BTC), also called aeroelastic tailoring or passive pitch control method, is often utilized to reduce the fatigue loading on wind turbine blades. With BTC, the blade can twist as it bends, this alleviates ... -
A Study on Insulation Problems in Drive Fed Medium Voltage Induction Motors
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)The PWM (pulse-width-modulated) type voltage source converters (VSC) allow a precise speed control of induction motors with maximum achievable energy efficiency. However, the rapid growth of this technology has created ... -
A Study on Intraorganismal Genetic Heterogeneity in Arabidopsis thaliana in Response to Stress
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-04)In sexually reproducing individuals, intraorganismal genetic heterogeneity (IGH) or mosaicism is thought to occur infrequently while genetic homogeneity is presumed the norm. In organisms that undergo modular development, ... -
A Study on Longevity Risk Hedging in the Presence of Population Basis Risk
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)Longevity risk refers to uncertainty surrounding the trend in human life expectancy. Standardized hedging instruments that are linked to broad-based mortality indexes can be used to offload longevity risk from pension plans ... -
