(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-28)Electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) composites based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A / triethylenetetramine (DGEBA/TETA) epoxy, including a hybrid nanocomposite containing newly developed silver nanobelts, have been ... -
Cured-in-Place Pipe Pressure Liner Experimental Study
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-06)Long-term mechanical properties are critical parameters for the design and performance of thermoset Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) gravity and pressure liners. These liners have been used extensively across North America; ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
Curiosity-Based Learning Algorithm for Interactive Art Sculptures
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-19)This thesis is part of the research activities of the Living Architecture System Group (LASG). Combining techniques in architecture, the arts, electronics, and software, LASG develops interactive art sculptures that engage ... -
Curl-Flow: Boundary-respecting pointwise incompressible velocity interpolation for grid-based fluids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-12)We propose to augment standard grid-based fluid solvers with pointwise divergence-free velocity interpolation, thereby ensuring exact incompressibility down to the sub-cell level. Our method takes as input a discretely ... -
The Current and Evolving Landscape of Bibliometric Tools and Technologies
(American Library Association, 2022-11)While bibliometrics has been around for decades, with the recent development of new bibliometric tools, there has been a surge in interest in bibliometric services at academic institutions in North America. Navigating this ... -
Current and Temperature Distributions in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-21)Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a potential alternative energy conversion device for stationary and automotive applications. Wide commercialization of PEMFC depends on progress that can be achieved to enhance ... -
Current Contour Based Design Methodology for IMN Design of Doherty Power Amplifiers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-16)Carrier aggregation (CA) is used in modern communication schemes to increase com- munication bandwidth (BW) and reduce redundant equipment. This combined with the already high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) signals in ... -
