Cobalt Decorated Hierarchical Porous Carbon Spheres for High Sulfur Loading Lithium Sulfur Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-20)With the growing need of energy storage devices, the market shows a strong requirement of lithium-based batteries. Nowadays, Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are dominating the battery field because of its high energy density ... -
Cobalt-Hexamine (HMT) Metal-Organic Framework-derived Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction and Evolution Reactions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-13)With the high requirement of increasing people’s living standards and building a more sustainable society, electrochemical energy storage devices with large energy density, high power density, and long term durability are ... -
Coded Hemodynamic Imaging of the Jugular Vein and Ultrasound Imaging of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter during Manipulations of Intracranial Pressure by Head-Down Tilt
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-21)Background: Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) is a condition in which worsening vision occurs while in microgravity. It has been hypothesized that SANS is caused by an increase in intracranial pressure ... -
Coded Wireless Video Broadcast/Multicast
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)Advancements in video coding, compact media display, and communication devices, particularly in emerging broadband wireless access networks, have created many foreseeable and exciting applications of video broadcast/multicast ... -
Coding a Biophilic Core: Digital Design Tools for Toronto’s Avian Habitat Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)This research develops a methodology for computationally sensing, illustrating, and utilizing avian-focused patch networks to locate and inform ecological interventions in dense urban settings. These interventions are ... -
Coding for Data Analytics: New Information Distances
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Distance plays a vital role in many applications of data analytics. For instance, in image retrieval, organization, and management, one needs a proper similarity distance to measure the perceptual similarity between any ... -
Coding Schemes for Multiple-Relay Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-10)In network information theory, the relay channel models a communication scenario where there is one or more relay nodes that can help the information transmission between the source and the destination. Although the capacity ... -
Coding Strip: A Tool for Supporting Interplay within Abstraction Ladder for Computational Thinking
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)As technologies advance and play an increasingly larger role in our lives, computational thinking---the ability to understand computing concepts and procedures and their role in the tools we use---has become an important ... -
Coding Theorems via Jar Decoding
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)In the development of digital communication and information theory, every channel decoding rule has resulted in a revolution at the time when it was invented. In the area of information theory, early channel coding theorems ... -
Coefficient spaces arising from locally compact groups
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-17)This thesis studies two disjoint topics involving coefficient spaces and algebras associated to locally compact groups. First, Chapter 3 investigates the connection between amenability and compactness conditions on locally ... -
Coercion, Authority, and Democracy
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)As a classical liberal, or libertarian, I am concerned to advance liberty and minimize coercion. Indeed on this view liberty just is the absence of coercion or costs imposed on others. In order to better understand the ... -
Coevolution Of Risk Perception, Sexual Behaviour, And Hiv Transmission In An Agent-Based Model
(Elsevier, 2013-11-21)Risk perception shapes individual behaviour, and is in turn shaped by the consequences of that behaviour. Here we explore this dynamics in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spread. We construct a simplified ... -
Coffee Houses and Arcades: A Forensic Inquiry into the Myths of Modernity
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-16)Two founding myths of modernity, British coffee houses and Parisian arcades, have both been described as stages for the public display of private persons. The former was a “micro-stage where visitors could enact their ... -
Cognitive and behavioural predictors of adolescents' communicative perspective-taking and social relationships
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)Given the pivotal role that social interactions play for adolescents' well-being, understanding the factors that influence communication is key. The present study examined relations between adolescents' communicative ... -

Cognitive Constellations: Neurodivergent Aesthetics in 20th Century Experimental Poetries
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-19)“Inaccessible” is a term shared by both Critical Disability Studies (CDS) and literary criticism, although this term means different things to each discipline. For CDS, an inaccessible space is one that prevents physically ... -
Cognitive control, conflict monitoring, and aerobic exercise.
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-01)Cognitive control includes a subset of top-down cognitive functions that allow flexible goal-directed behaviour that are often impaired in people with mental illness and in older adults. Even in healthy individuals, cognitive ... -
Cognitive Evaluation of Potential Approaches to Increase the Efficiency of Air Traffic Controller Training and Staffing
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-15)Generic airspace, or air traffic control sectors with similar operational characteristics, is an operational concept being proposed as a means of increasing staffing flexibility and reducing training times as part of the ... -
