Assessment of Laser Solid Freeform Fabrication for Realization of Shape Memory Alloy Components with Complex Geometry
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)The purpose of the present study was to assess the feasibility of a laser layer manufacturing technique for realization of shape memory alloy (SMA) components with complex geometry. Pre-placed laser solid freeform fabrication ... -
Assessment of mathematical models for ultrafiltration of multi-solute continuous cross-flow process
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-27)In recent years, ultrafiltration membrane-based technology has received increasing attention and great importance for water and waste water treatment. Different mathematical models are proposed to analyze and predict the ... -
Assessment of Nitrate Export in Agricultural Sub-Catchments of the Grand River Watershed: An Isotope Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-20)Nitrate (NO3-) is one of the most widespread contaminants in freshwater systems globally. This is largely due to high fertilizer application rates that are required to maximize crop yield. Elevated NO3- concentrations can ... -
Assessment of Nutrient Intakes: Introduction to the Special Issue
(MDPI, 2016-03-25)Accurately measuring consumption of food, drinks and supplements is fundamental to nutrition and health research, including surveillance, epidemiology and intervention studies. However, assessing food intake is an area ... -
Assessment of Occupant Response in Frontal Bus Crash Scenarios using Human Body Models to Improve Public Transportation Safety
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)There has been limited investigation regarding occupant safety in transit bus crash scenarios. Experimental testing and numerical modelling can provide the insight required to reduce injury risk to transit bus passengers. ... -
Assessment of ocular aberrations at scaled pupil size and reduced Shack-Hartmann spot number
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-07)Wavefront aberrations describe the optical imperfections of the eye by measuring the complete refractive elements of the eye. However, the reliability of ocular aberration is uncertain under some challenges and issues. ... -
Assessment of Ozonation and Biofiltration as a Membrane Pre-treatment at a Full-scale Drinking Water Treatment Plant
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-16)Membrane technologies are gaining popularity for drinking water treatment; however, fouling remains a major constraint as it can increase operational cost and shorten membrane service life. An important source of foulants ... -
The Assessment of Practical Per-Cooling Targeting Peripheral Limbs During Exercise in Hot and Humid Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-25)When excess body heat generation owing to the performance of exercise coincides with the heat dissipation limitations presented by hot and humid environments, the body’s ability to maintain thermal balance is compromised, ... -
An Assessment of Pyridoxine as a Biological Response Modifier During Colon Carcinogenesis
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-05)The main objective of this proposal was to investigate the effect of vitamin B6 on colon carcinogenesis in vivo. Two in vivo studies were conducted to determine the role of vitamin B6 as a biological modifier of colon ... -
Assessment of Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Frameworks for Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-10)Floods are a devastating natural disaster causing economic loss and even threatening human lives. A better understanding of floods can lead to improved design of flood mitigation measures. The Natural Sciences and Engineering ... -
Assessment of remote Patagonian riverine fish using environmental DNA
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-26)Freshwater systems and fish communities face many anthropogenic threats such as climate change, pollution, and invasive species, causing a rapid loss of biodiversity. To protect freshwater fish basic knowledge of their ... -
Assessment of remotely piloted aircraft data classification of wetland vegetation communities and changes in their pattern with elevation
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-01)Wetlands host a myriad of services both to the environment and society. While the provision of those services are partly dependent on the terrestrial plant communities that both comprise and are adjacent to a wetland, ... -
Assessment of saltwater origin in the Rub’ al-Khali basin and its relation to the formation of sabkha Matti
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-15)The Rub’ al Khali sand sea is the largest uninterrupted sand desert on Earth that occupies an area of approximately 650,000 km2 of the Arabian Peninsula. Yet, the desert basin is underlying by one of the largest multi-level ... -
