Modeling of a Renewable Energy System, Experiential Innovation and Technology Centre
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-14)Energy consumption has been increasing rapidly over the last few decades. In 2003, Ontario’s energy needs were in the order of 155.1 TWh and are expected to increase to 168.9 TWh by 2014. This will create an increased ... -
Modeling of a-Si:H n-i-p detectors
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-15)The widespread use of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) devices prompted the need for models to identify challenges and solutions early on in the design process.Hydrogenated amorphous silicon photodiodes are ... -
Modeling of a-Si:H TFT I-V Characteristics in the Forward Subthreshold Operation
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are widely used as switching elements in LCD displays and large area matrix addressed senor arrays. In recent years, a-Si:H TFTs have been used ... -
Modeling of Biofuelled HCCI Engines with a Parallel Multizone Model
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)With growing concerns over emissions, homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines offer a promising solution through reducing NOx and particulate emissions and increasing efficiency. However, this technology is ... -
The modeling of blood rheology in small vessels
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Blood is a dense suspension of flexible red blood cells. In response to a background flow, these cells distribute themselves non-uniformly throughout the vessel. As a result, material properties that are well defined ... -
Modeling of Body Weight Metrics for Effective and Cost-Efficient Conventional Factor VIII Dosing in Hemophilia A Prophylaxis
(MDPI, 2017-12-01)The total body weight-based dosing strategy currently used in the prophylactic treatment of hemophilia A may not be appropriate for all populations. The assumptions that guide weight-based dosing are not valid in overweight ... -
Modeling of Brain Tumors: Effects of Microenvironment and Associated Therapeutic Strategies
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-29)Gliomas are the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors. The most common treatment protocols for these brain tumors are combinations of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, even with the most aggressive ... -
Modeling of Cancer Signaling Pathways
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-13)Cancer is an ongoing problem all over the world. To find a cure to this disease, both clinicians and scientists are looking for a reasonable treatment method. According to Hanahan and Weinberg, one of the hallmarks of ... -
Modeling of carbon dioxide dissolution in an injection well for geologic sequestration in aquifers
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is considered to be one of the most effective technologies of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this technology, single phase supercritical CO2 is injected into an underground ... -
