A new approximation of Fermi-Dirac integrals of order 1/2 for degenerate semiconductor devices
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)There had been tremendous growth in the field of Integrated circuits (ICs) in the past fifty years. Scaling laws mandated both lateral and vertical dimensions to be reduced and a steady increase in doping densities. Most ... -
New Arsenides and Antimonides as Thermoelectric Materials and Chalcogenides with Distorted Square Nets
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-22)Thermoelectric (TE) materials can be ranked by their figure-of-merit, ZT, which is defined as ZT = (S2σT)/κ. Herein, T is the average temperature between the cold (TC) and hot sides (TH) of the thermoelectric device, S is ... -
New Aspects of Quantum Interactions: Acceleration-Induced Transparency, Newton’s Cradle Spectra, Superoscillations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-12)We present new results on different aspects of quantum interactions, from new phenomena to new mathematical tools. First, two new phenomena of light-matter interactions are presented: the stimulated Unruh effect and ... -
A New Baptism: Reclaiming public space through Light, and Bathing Ritual for an abandoned church in Montréal
(University of Waterloo, 2013-07-02)Québec’s historical attachment to Roman Catholicism is visible: there is still a great amount of church buildings throughout the province. However, changing attitudes in Québec (as in other regions around the world) are ... -
New Benders' Decomposition Approaches for W-CDMA Telecommunication Network Design
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-24)Network planning is an essential phase in successfully operating state-of-the-art telecommunication systems. It helps carriers increase revenues by deploying the right technologies in a cost effective manner. More importantly, ... -
New Calibration Approaches in Solid Phase Microextraction for On-Site Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Calibration methods for quantitative on-site sampling using solid phase microextraction (SPME) were developed based on diffusion mass transfer theory. This was investigated using adsorptive polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene ... -
A New Class of Cycle Inequality for the Time-Dependent Traveling Salesman Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-29)The Time-Dependent Traveling Salesman Problem is a generalization of the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem, where the cost for travel between two nodes is dependent on the nodes and their position in the tour. Inequalities ... -
New Color Patterning Techniques for OLED Displays
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-03)Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are light emitting devices consisting of a stack of organic semiconductors sandwiched by electrodes. Since the first report of a high-efficiency device by Tang and Van Slyke in 1987, ... -
New composite sustainability indices for Cradle-to-Cradle process design: Case study on thinner recovery from waste paint in auto industries
(Elsevier, 2017-11-10)In a conventional chemical process design, the main focus is on the process economy resulting in the generation of huge amounts of waste materials within the process. Such design approach demands end-of-pipe treatment, ... -
New Conic Optimization Techniques for Solving Binary Polynomial Programming Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)Polynomial programming, a class of non-linear programming where the objective and the constraints are multivariate polynomials, has attracted the attention of many researchers in the past decade. Polynomial programming is ... -
New constraints on mid-Proterozoic ocean redox from stable thallium isotope systematics of black shales
(Elsevier, 2021-12-15)Stable thallium (Tl) isotope data from organic-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks have the potential to track ocean redox state on a broad scale. Here, we report new Tl isotope data from the Mesoproterozoic Velkerri ... -
New Control Algorithms for the Distributed Generation Interface in Grid-Connected and Micro-grid Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-11-13)Driven by economic, technical, and environmental reasons, the energy sector is moving into an era where large portions of increases in electrical energy demand will be met through widespread installation of distributed ... -
New Control Algorithms for the Robust Operation and Stabilization of Active Distribution Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)The integration of renewable distributed generation units (DGs) alters distribution systems so that rather than having passive structures, with unidirectional power flow, they become active distribution networks (ADNs), ... -
A New Control Strategy for Coordinated Control of Ground Vehicle Vertical Dynamics via Control Allocation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-08)The scope of this thesis concerns the basic research and development of a coordinated control system for the control of vehicle roll and pitch dynamics using suspension forces as actuators. In this thesis, the following ... -
