Mitigation of Peak Cooling Demand through the Combination of Residential Zoned Cooling and Window Shading: A Building Simulation Case Study
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2014-05)The present study expands on previous building simulation work con-cerning the potential benefits of residential zoned cooling systems during peak summer days. Such zoned systems provide an opportunity for peak reduction ... -
Mitigator: Privacy policy compliance using Intel SGX
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-19)Privacy policies have been known to be hard to read and understand by internet users and yet users are obliged to accept these one-sided terms of usage of their data before they can effectively use websites. Although ... -
Mitochondrial Function and Optical Properties of the Crystalline Lens
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-15)The crystalline lens is a unique cellular organ that performs metabolic processes while maintaining optical functionality. Mitochondria play a vital role in providing the cell with the energy necessary for these metabolic ... -
Mixed effects regression for snow distribution modelling in the central Yukon
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-05)To date, remote sensing estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountainous areas are very uncertain. To test passive microwave algorithm estimations of SWE, a validation data set must exist for a broad geographic area. ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-26)Group decision making problems are everywhere in our day-to-day lives and have great influence on the daily operation of companies and institutions. With the recent advances in computational technology, it's not surprising ... -
A Mixed Methods Evaluation of the Pinery Provincial Park Smartphone Application Pilot Project
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-11)Pinery Provincial Park is the first provincial park in the Ontario Parks system to launch a custom-built smartphone application. This application, titled “Explore Pinery,” was launched in January of 2016 and acts as an ... -
Mixed Micelle Characterization of Pluronic and Gemini Surfactant – Based Gene Therapy Carriers and a Connection to Transfection Efficiency
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)Non-viral gene therapy formulation development often relies on a rational design approach, where vector components are selected based on individual characteristics known to favour transfection efficiency. However, these ... -
MIXED PHASE COMPRESSION HIGH EFFICIENCY HEAT PUMP
(University of Waterloo, 2014-03-13)The objective of this thesis is the design and realization of a higher efficiency air source heat pump. The improved pump’s operating cost must rival the cost of heating with natural gas, while incurring a minimal increase ... -
A Mixed Signal 65nm CMOS Implementation of a Spiking Neural Network
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-26)Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are an emerging class of biologically inspired Artificial Neural Networks implemented in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Current state-of-the-art small- and large-scale SNNs ... -
Mixed signal design flow, a mixed signal PLL case study
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Mixed-signal designs are becoming more and more complex every day. In order to adapt to the new market requirements, a formal process for design and verification of mixed signal systems i. e. top-down design and ... -
Mixed-Signal Multimode Radio Software/Hardware Development Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-17)Radio frequency power amplifiers (PAs) are the most challenging part of the design of radio systems since they dictate the overall system's performance in terms of power efficiency and distortion generation. The performance ... -
A mixture model for bivariate interval-censored failure times with dependent susceptibility
(Springer, 2020-03-07)Interval-censored failure times arise when the status with respect to an event of interest is only determined at intermittent examination times. In settings where there exists a sub-population of individuals who are not ... -
