Pore network modeling of fibrous gas diffusion layers for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2007-11-08)A pore network model of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is developed and validated. The model idealizes the GDL as a regular cubic network of pore bodies and pore throats following ... -
Pore Network Modeling of Hydrodynamic Dispersion and Irreversible Adsorption of Nanoparticles in Partially Saturated Granular Media
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-20)The transport of nanoparticles in porous media, whether deliberate or accidental, is of critical importance in several fields including migration of contaminants, wastewater clean-up, and enhanced oil recovery. Pore scale ... -
Pore network modeling of phase change in PEM fuel cell fibrous cathode
(Springer, 2017-12-01)A pore network model has been applied to the cathode side of a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly to investigate the mechanisms leading to liquid water formation in the cell. This model includes mass diffusion, liquid ... -
Pore network modeling of reaction-diffusion in hierarchical porous particles: the effects of microstructure
(Elsevier, 2017-07-24)A general framework based on pore network modeling is presented for simulation of reactive transport in a porous catalyst with a hierarchy of porosity. The proposed framework is demonstrated in the context of steady state ... -
A Poroelastic Model of Transcapillary Flow
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)Transcapillary exchange is the movement of fluid and molecules through the porous capillary wall, and is important in maintaining homeostasis of bodily tissues. The classical view of this process is that of Starling's ... -
Porous Asphalt Pavement Designs: Proactive Design for Cold Climate Use
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-14)Porous asphalt pavements offer an alternative technology for stormwater management. A porous asphalt pavement differs from traditional asphalt pavement designs in that the structure permits fluids to pass freely through ... -
Porous chitosan microspheres as microcarriers for 3D cell culture
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)Highly porous chitosan microspheres (CSM) were prepared through emulsion-based thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) without using toxic crosslinkers and chemical porogenic agents other than ice. The CSM had an average ... -
Porous Media Thermoacoustic Stacks: Measurements and Models
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-29)The present research analyzes random porous thermoacoustic stack systems analytically, experimentally, and numerically with a primary objective to develop a comprehensive analytical porous media modeling for random porous ... -
Porous MXene Synthesis and Applications for Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-02)Efficient electrochemical energy storage devices are of particular importance for accelerating the widespread adaption of renewable energy, and electrode materials are critical to achieve optimal system performance. MXene ... -
Port Place Reconsidered: Genius Loci and the Renewal of Port Dalhousie
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-15)Port Dalhousie, a neighbourhood of St. Catharines located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, has in recent years experienced an economic, cultural, and social decline. Once the northern terminus of the Welland Canal, ... -
Port-based teleportation of continuous quantum variables
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-27)Quantum teleportation allows to transmit quantum information using classical information and entanglement only. Port-based teleportation is a variation of this procedure that involves simpler recovery operations to obtain ... -
PORTA: THE LANGUAGE OF DOORS
(University of Waterloo, 2008-11-14)In my master design studio, I was asked to imagine what I would say, what would be my story, if I was a door.This is the poem I wrote as an answer to this query: IF I WAS A DOOR Come closer; Let me tell you how ... -
Portable Post-Disaster Home
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)According to the United Nations statistics, since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people have been displaced per year because of natural disasters. In other words, one person loses his/her home every second. This is ... -
Portfolio Selection Under Nonsmooth Convex Transaction Costs
(University of Waterloo, 2006)We consider a portfolio selection problem in the presence of transaction costs. Transaction costs on each asset are assumed to be a convex function of the amount sold or bought. This function can be nondifferentiable ... -
A Portrait of Porta Portese
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)This thesis investigates an informally self-organized street market, Porta Portese, in Rome, Italy. As a response to the contemporary phenomenon of migration, of people and goods, Porta Portese reflects the city’s evolving ... -
Portraits from the State Mental Hospitals
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-12)The thesis is a short book of fifty sketches. I felt I threw out a significant amount of other material – plans, sketchup models, physical models, and photographs. Many people I had shown my work to were uninterested in ... -
Portraits of a Landscape & The Trouble With Eden
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-29)If there was ever a question about the subject of this work, I had only to return to the landscape. There was a strangness, a newness, an inevitability to those urban spaces around the city that insisted on my attention. ... -
Pose Estimation and Segmentation for Rehabilitation
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)The global population is getting older and the aging demographic is increasing demands on health-care industry. This will drive the demand for post stroke, joint replacement, and chronic disease management rehabilitation. ... -
Posets of Non-Crossing Partitions of Type B and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-19)The thesis is devoted to the study of certain combinatorial objects called \emph{non-crossing partitions}. The enumeration properties of the lattice ${\textsf{NC$^{\textsf{\,A}}$(n)}}\,$ of \emph{non-crossing partitions} ... -
Poshlost’ in Nabokov’s Dar through the Prism of Lotman’s Literary Semiotics
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)The word poshlost’ denotes the concepts of banality, vulgarity or phlistinism, and has been an intellectual and cultural obsession since the second half of the nineteenth century, lasting well into the twentieth century. ...
