Hydrophobic Modification of Starch
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-27)Starch is a very common polysaccharide with multiple applications in the industry, but the range of physical properties exhibited by that material is relatively limited due to its strongly hydrophilic character. The work ... -
Hydrophobic Modifications of Cellulose Nanocrystals for Anticorrosion and Polymer Coating Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-20)Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) is a robust, renewable and green nanorods, which has a potential as an excellent reinforcing and multi-functional filler for polymers used in coating and other applications. CNC contains ... -
Hydrophobicity Classification of RTV Silicone Rubber-Coated Insulators Using Deep Learning Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-18)Silicone rubber-based outdoor polymeric insulators are widely employed in electric power transmission and distribution networks to replace conventional ceramic insulators, owing to their superior performance in contaminated ... -
Hydrophysical evolution, soil water dynamics, and productivity of Sphagnum carpets in a regenerating cutover peatland
(University of Waterloo, 2014-11-26)The physical and hydrologic characteristics of cutover peatlands often inhibit the regeneration of typical peatland vegetation, particularly the keystone peat-forming genus <i>Sphagnum</i>, in the absence of active ... -
Hydrothermal Alteration and Exploration Vectors at the Island Gold Deposit, Michipicoten greenstone belt, Wawa, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-01)The Island Gold deposit is a high-grade orogenic gold deposit located in the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone (GLDZ), within the Michipicoten greenstone belt. This belt is situated within the larger Wawa-Abitibi terrane which ... -
Hygrothermal Behavior of Interior Basement Insulation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)An uninsulated basement can contribute a significant fraction of a building’s total heating load: insulating the basement can provide significant energy savings. In addition, the desire of homeowners to maximize usable ... -
Hygrothermal Effects on Viscoelastic Properties of Amine-Hardened Epoxy
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-24)In this work the behaviour of a DGEBA/TETA epoxy resin system, a candidate resin for electrically conductive nanocomposites, has been characterized after exposure to hygrothermal conditions for up to 2400 hours. The ... -
The Hygrothermal Performance of Exterior Insulated Wall Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-23)As energy certification programs and mandatory governmental building codes demand better building energy performance, the development of durable, highly insulated wall systems has become a top priority. Wood framed walls ... -
Hygrothermal Performance of Insulated, Sloped, Wood-Framed Roof Assemblies
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-23)Roofs are the single enclosure element common to artificial shelters constructed by all cultures in all climate regions. The hygrothermal performance of insulated, sloped, wood-framed roof assemblies has long been of ... -
Hyperpfaffians in Algebraic Combinatorics
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The pfaffian is a classical tool which can be regarded as a generalization of the determinant. The hyperpfaffian, which was introduced by Barvinok, generalizes the pfaffian to higher dimension. This was further ... -

Hypothesis Testing in Finite Mixture Models
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-14)Mixture models provide a natural framework for unobserved heterogeneity in a population. They are widely applied in astronomy, biology, engineering, finance, genetics, medicine, social sciences, and other areas. An ... -
Hypoxic Methane Oxidation Coupled to Denitrification in a Membrane Biofilm Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-13)Nitrate removal has become a necessity in Canada and around the globe as a means to mitigate harmful effects from nitrogen compounds, such as eutrophication, which pose toxic hazards to both aquatic life as well as human ... -
Hysteresis bifurcation and application to delayed FitzHugh-Nagumo neural systems
(Elsevier, 2021-08)Hysteresis dynamics has been described in a vast number of biological experimental studies. Many such studies are phenomenological and a mathematical appreciation has not attracted enough attention. In the paper, we explore ... -

H₂¹⁸O and H₂¹⁶O in Intermediate Mass Star Formation Regions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)While the process of low mass (LM) star formation is a well studied area of astrophysics, the formation of high mass (HM) stars is much more complicated. The study of intermediate mass (IM) star formation is expected to ... -
“I could never live without a dog”: Re-storied narratives of persons living with dementia and their companion animals
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-16)More than half of Canadians choose to share their homes with companion animals, and for some people an animal may be one of the most important companions in their life. Most research on human-animal companionship highly ... -
I Don't Care Whose Fault It Is! Or, An Introduction to the Short-Term Forecasting Theory, Implementing Fuzzy-logic and Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In contradiction with much conventional economic theory, this thesis argues that successful short-term forecasting is both possible and practicable. Beginning with the assumption, and widely-held belief, that there are ... -
“I gained a skill and a change in attitude”: A Case Study Describing How an Online Continuing Professional Education Course for Pharmacists Supported Achievement of Its Transfer-to-Practice Outcomes
(The Canadian Association for University Continuing Education, 2014-11-27)The convenience and flexibility of online learning clearly make it an attractive option for learners in professional development contexts. There is less clarity, however, about how it fares as a vehicle for enabling the ... -
I Have No Home But Me
