Flow visualization of natural convection in a tall, air-filled vertical cavity
(Elsevier, 2006-03-01)Natural convection of air in a tall vertical cavity was studied using a smoke patterns and interferometry. Experiments covered Rayleigh numbers of 4850 < Ra < 54,800 and aspect ratio A ≈ 40. Secondary cells were noted at ... -
Flow-Induced Vibration of Elastically Mounted Cylinder-Plate Assemblies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)The transverse flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically supported cylinder-plate assembly (viz., a rigid splitter-plate attached to the downstream side of a cylinder) is investigated deeply and systematically in this ... -
Flow-Induced Vibrations of foreign objects inside steam generator’s tube bundle.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)Flow-induced vibrations of foreign objects were studied experimentally at University of Waterloo’s water flume facility. The main objective of this study was to understand the three-dimensional dynamic response of foreign ... -
Flowable-Electrode Capacitive Deionization for Treatment of Mining Process-Affected Water
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-26)Water is a critical resource in the mining and resources sector. It enables the extraction and materials processing operations that underpin this primary industry, and therefore everyday life. Water’s value in mining means ... -
Flowing with the River
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-17)Carried by the flow of water, this thesis is a journey into rediscovering the power of the River to animate and give reason to urban life. Its purpose is to create an alternate reality that brings people back to the ... -
Fluctuation correction for the critical transition of symmetric homopolymer blends
(AIP, 2017-07)Monte Carlo simulations are performed on structurally symmetric binary homopolymer blends over a wide range of invariant polymerization indexes, N. A finite-size scaling analysis reveals that certain critical exponents ... -
Fluctuation effects in blends of A+B homopolymers with AB diblock copolymer
(AIP, 2018-05)Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) are performed on ternary blends of A- and B-type homopolymers of polymerization N_h and symmetric AB diblock copolymer of polymerization N_c. Unlike previous studies, our FTS are conducted ... -
Fluid Identities Material Imagination and the Ritual of Water Collection at the Mineral Spring of Sofia
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-18)How do we build for a specific place and culture in the age of globalization, where the notion of culture has become fluid and drawn from a multiplicity of locations? This thesis argues that rather than relying on ideologies ... -
Fluid-present anatexis of Neoarchean tonalite and amphibolite in the Western Shandong Province
(Elsevier, 2019-02)Metatonalite and amphibolite from the Taishan region of the Western Shandong Province in the North China Craton record c. 2.60 Ga fluid-present partial melting via the breakdown of biotite, plagioclase and quartz to produce ... -
Flume Construction and RFID Tracking Techniques for Fluvial Sediment Transport Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Sediment transport studies incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are becoming a key component in understanding sediment transport dynamics due to the data they provide on spatial and temporal variability. ... -
Fluorescence and Adaptation of Color Images
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)Color plays a vitally important role in the world we live in. It surrounds us everywhere we go. Achromatic life, restricted to black, white and grey, is extremely dull. Color fascinates artists, for it adds enormously ... -
Fluorescent sensors using DNA-functionalized graphene oxide
(Springer, 2014-07-02)In the past few years, graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a unique platform for developing DNA-based biosensors, given the DNA adsorption and fluorescence-quenching properties of GO. Adsorbed DNA probes can be desorbed ... -
Fluorescently Labeled Latex Particles to Monitor Film Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)The influence of the length of an oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer (EGn, where n is the number of ethylene glycol units) in a 1-pyrenemethoxy-EGn methacrylate (PyEG-MA) monomer on the incorporation of the monomer into a ... -
Fluoride Removal from Contaminated Water by Limestone Reactor and Phosphate Rock Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-05)Fluorosis, which results in mottling of teeth enamel, softening of bones, ossification of tendons and ligaments, and even neurologic damage, is endemic in many mid-latitude regions. It is caused by the long-term ingestion ... -
Fluoxetine Does Not Enhance Visual Perceptual Learning and Triazolam Specifically Impairs Learning Transfer
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-19)The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine significantly enhances adult visual cortex plasticity within the rat. This effect is related to decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibition and identifies ... -
Flying on the Edge: Adaptive Coastal Governance and Shorebird Conservation in the Fraser River Estuary
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-03)In the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, the Fraser River estuary is a critical site for international biodiversity conservation, particularly that of migratory shorebirds; is also plays a vital role in the coastal ... -
Foam as a Vehicle for Nanoparticle Delivery in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Accidental releases, spills, and leaks of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), such as gasoline and jet fuel, can result in subsurface contamination. PHCs that become entrapped as a residual light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) ... -
A Focus+Context Approach to Alleviate Cognitive Challenges of Editing and Debugging UML Models
(IEEE, 2019-09)Model-Driven Engineering has been proposed to increase the productivity of developing a software system. Despite its benefits, it has not been fully adopted in the software industry. Research has shown that modelling tools ... -
