(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-11)Traditionally, wireless networks communicate over the conventional microwave band (sub-6 GHz) as it supports reliable communication over a large geographic area. The ever increasing demand for bandwidth to support the ... -
Performance Modeling and Simulation for Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-14)Over the past decade many performance indicators have been developed for water and wastewater utilities. While existing performance indicators allow utilities to track performance over time and with respect to utility set ... -
Performance Modeling, Design and Analysis of Transport Mechanisms in Integrated Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-25)Recently, wireless access to Internet applications and services has attracted a lot of attention. However, there is no single wireless network that can meet all mobile users’ requirements. Con-sequently, integrated ... -
Performance of a Cluster that Supports Resource Reservation and On-demand Access
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-24)Next generation data centres are expected to support both advance resource reservation and on-demand access, but the system performance for such a computing environment has not been well-investigated. A reservation request ... -
Performance of a Perovskite-Based Lean-NOX-Trap Catalyst and Effects of Thermal Degradation and Sulfur Poisoning
(University of Waterloo, 2012-10-01)Increases in vehicle exhaust emission regulations have led to research, development and improvements in catalytic converter technologies for gasoline-powered vehicles since the 1970s. Nowadays, there are strict regulations ... -
Performance of a Surface-Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill Surface-Water Runoff
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-20)Landfills are a major potential source of groundwater and surface-water contamination. The compounds that can leach from landfilled materials include dissolved organic matter, inorganic macrocomponents, heavy metals, and ... -
Performance of a two-foot vertical jump: What is more important hip or knee dominance?
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-22)Vertical jumping ability is an important fundamental skill for many athletic activities. The present work is focused on developing an understanding of the role of various movement strategies on vertical jump performance. ... -
Performance of Biological Filters for Drinking Water Treatment and Their Use for High Pressure Membrane Biofouling Control
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Biofiltration is a promising green drinking water treatment technology that can reduce the concentration of biodegradable organic matter (BOM) in water. Direct biofiltration or biofiltration without pretreatment (BFwp) ... -
Performance of Brain-Computer Interfacing Based on Tactile Selective Sensation and Motor Imagery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-11-03)A large proportion of users do not achieve adequate control using current non-invasive Brain-computer Interfaces (BCI). This issue has being coined “BCI-Illiteracy”, and is observed among BCI modalities. Here, we compare ... -
Performance of Dynamic Hedging Strategies for Cash Balance Pension Plans
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-28)Cash balance (CB) pension plans make up 25% of all defined benefit plans in the US. The benefits are accumulated at guaranteed crediting rates, the most popular choice is the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond. In this ... -
Performance of IR Models on Duplicate Bug Report Detection: A Comparative Study
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-06)Open source projects incorporate bug triagers to help with the task of bug report assignment to developers. One of the tasks of a triager is to identify whether an incoming bug report is a duplicate of a pre-existing ... -
Performance of Large Diameter Residential Drinking Water Wells - Biofilm Growth: Laboratory and Field Testing
(University of Waterloo, 2011-11-23)In the first phase of this project three enhanced large diameter (> 60 cm) residential wells were constructed at a study site in Lindsay, Ontario. Two wells were constructed using concrete tile casing while the other well ... -
Performance of Load-Bearing Cold-Formed Steel Wall Systems with Web-Perforated Studs Subjected to Standard Fire
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)Load-bearing cold-formed steel (CFS) wall systems are commonly constructed with CFS C-shape studs with one or two layers of fire-rated sheathing attached to both sides. In practice, perforations are placed in stud webs to ... -
