Performance of Treatment Media for the Stabilization of Mercury under Variable Geochemical Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)Mercury-contaminated sediments are found in many locations throughout North America and the world. Release of Hg from such sediments and subsequent biological uptake can result in biomagnification in associated ecosystems. ... -
Performance optimization for distributed-shared-data systems
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
Performance Optimization of a Cation-Disordered Rock-Salt Positive Electrode Material for Next-Generation Lithium-ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-28)The growing threat of climate change has sparked a shift in societal norms surrounding the reliance on fossil fuels for our energy and transportation sectors. Driven by this shift, the global demand for sustainable energy ... -
Performance Prediction Upon Toolchain Migration in Model-Based Software
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-29)Changing the development environment can have severe impacts on the system behavior such as the execution-time performance. Since it can be costly to migrate a software application, engineers would like to predict the ... -
Performance Simulation of Planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-14)The performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) at the cell and system levels is studied using computer simulation. At the cell level, a new model combining the cell micro and macro models is developed. Using this ... -
Performance Test Selection Using Machine Learning and a Study of Binning Effect in Memory Allocators
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Performance testing is an essential part of the development life cycle that must be done in a timely fashion. However, checking for performance regressions in software can be time-consuming, especially for complex systems ... -
PERFORMATIVE GESTURES An Exhibition of Painting
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-07)My painted self-portraiture explores identity as changing social performance or masquerade and examines bodily flesh as the vital interface for reciprocal encounter on life’s stage. The larger-than-life sized images ... -
Performimg Education: The Utopian Potential of Creative Peer-to-peer Sexual Health Education for Queer Youth
(University of Waterloo, 2012)In this cultural moment, young queers are struggling to imagine themselves and find community. A significant component of enabling a youth's self-discovery is providing access to inclusive and culturally-relevant education ... -
Performing Short-Term Travel Time Prediction on Arterials
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-23)As urban centers become larger and more densely developed, their roadway networks tend to experience more severe congestion for longer periods of the day and increasingly unreliable travel times. Proactive traffic management ... -
Performing the Forbidden Public Space: the Case of the New Clock Tower Square in Homs, Syria
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)Public spaces in Syria have been controlled and militarized for a long time, even before the revolution of 2011. In the city of Homs, however, during the revolution's early days, thousands of people poured into the New ... -
Periodic Adaptive Control for First-Order Discrete-Time Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-24)In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time- varying parameters. An adaptive controller typically consists of an LTI compensator together with an identifier or a tuner which is used ... -
Periodic Adaptive Stabilization of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems
(Springer, 2019-06-19)Adaptive control deals with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time variation is slow, with results for systems with fast time variations limited ... -
Periodic Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time-variation is slow, with results for systems with fast ... -
Periodically-driven quantum many-body systems, many-body localization and machine learning
(University of Waterloo, 2018-03-09)Despite the exponentially large amount of information required in the quantum description of many-body systems, finite size numerical simulations have paved the way for recent progress in the understanding of quantum phases ... -
Periodicity and Repetition in Combinatorics on Words
(University of Waterloo, 2004)This thesis concerns combinatorics on words. I present many results in this area, united by the common themes of periodicity and repetition. Most of these results have already appeared in journal or conference ... -
Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography: Review of Evidence and Recommendations for Image Acquisition, Analysis, and Reporting, Among Individuals With Neurological Impairment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)In 2015, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) position statement regarding peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) did not recommend routine use of pQCT, in clinical settings until consistency ... -
