Redefining the Classroom: Incorporating Sensory Cognizant Design Strategies
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-07)The perception of space is generated and understood by the multi-sensory orchestration of our five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. Through the heightening and/ or reduction of specific senses the mind generates ... -
Redeveloping the Avenues
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-17)The goal of this thesis is to investigate and propose housing that increases density while offering a better quality of life for citizens inhabiting Toronto’s Avenues. This thesis compares three different building prototypes, ... -
The Redevelopment of Canada and Japan’s Economic Relationship, 1945-1951: Canadian Perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)Between 1921 to 1941, Canada and Japan were close trading partners. The end of World War II provided the two countries with the opportunity to resume their former economic relationship. However, Japan was a defeated ... -
Redistribution of charged aluminum nanoparticles on oil droplets in water in response to applied electrical field
(Springer, 2016-05-18)Janus droplets with two opposite faces of different physical or chemical properties have great potentials in many fields. This paper reports a new method for making Janus droplets by covering one side of the droplet with ... -
Redistribution of mobile surface charges of an oil droplet in water in applied electric field
(Elsevier, 2016-10)Most researches on oil droplets immersed in aqueous solutions assume that the surface charges of oil droplets are, similar to that of solid particles, immobile and distributed uniformly under external electric field. ... -
Redox conditions across the Cambrian–Ordovician boundary: Elemental and isotopic signatures retained in the GSSP carbonates
(Elsevier, 2015-12-15)Lime mudstone samples (rhythmites) were collected at high resolution from outcrops of the Cambrian–Ordovician GSSP boundary section at Green Point (western Newfoundland, Canada). The sequence (~45 mthick) consists of slope ... -
Redrawing the Lines: An Exercise of Boundaries and Urban Interspecies Belonging in Miyajima, Japan
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Swarms of semi-wild, semi-tame Sika deer roam freely in both the primeval forested mountains and urbanized coastal town of Miyajima island. Rising deer populations and mass tourism has blurred the boundaries between human ... -
Reduced Graphene Oxide as Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interphase for Anodes of Aqueous Lithium Energy Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)Rechargeable Aqueous Hybrid Battery (ReHAB) systems offer several advantages over the commercially available non-aqueous battery systems. The most noteworthy advantages include higher ionic conductivity, added safety, and ... -
Reduced Order Modeling and Scale-up of an Entrained Flow Gasifier
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-16)Climate change has increased attention towards reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. This has affected the operation of process industries, particularly solid fuel ... -
Reducibility of operator semigroups and values of vector states
(Springer, 2017-08-01)Let S be a multiplicative semigroup of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H, and let Ω be the range of a vector state on S so that Ω = {⟨Sξ, ξ⟩ : S ∈ S} for some fixed unit vector ξ ∈ H. We study the ... -
Reducing Conservatism in Pareto Robust Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-09)Robust optimization (RO) is a sub-field of optimization theory with set-based uncertainty. A criticism of this field is that it determines optimal decisions for only the worst-case realizations of uncertainty. Several ... -
Reducing Data Copying Overhead in Web Servers
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-13)Web servers that generate dynamic content are widely used in the development of Internet applications. With the Internet highly connected to people’s lifestyles, the service requirements of Internet applications have ... -
Reducing Environmental Impacts of The Petroleum Refining Operations: Studies Related to Water Treatment and Carbon Dioxide Emissions Management
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-21)Petroleum refining is one of the most important chemical processing industries, converting crude oil into many usable and useful products, but it can cause adverse environmental impacts. Two environmental issues were ... -
Reducing Health Misinformation in Search Results
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)People commonly search the web for answers to health-related questions. With health information being added to the Internet every day, misinformation proliferates and disseminates wildly. Previous work has shown that if ... -
Reducing Interaction Cost: A Mechanism Deisgn Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-06)In this thesis we study the problem of requiring self-interested agents need to interact with some centralized mechanism where this interaction is costly. To improve their utility, agents may choose to interact ... -
Reducing the Cost of Operating a Datacenter Network
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)Datacenters are a significant capital expense for many enterprises. Yet, they are difficult to manage and are hard to design and maintain. The initial design of a datacenter network tends to follow vendor guidelines, but ... -
Reducing the electric field sensitivity of a Rydberg state transition by the application of a non-resonant microwave field
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-23)The 87Rb 49s->48s Rydberg state transition was rendered insensitive to electric field fluctuations about a 1V/cm dc electric field. This was accomplished by applying a non-resonant 38.445GHz microwave field to modify the ... -
Reducing the Emergence of the Gaps: Computation for Weak Emergence
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-29)This thesis contributes to the growing literature surrounding the importance of weak emergence by showing it can account for more phenomena than originally conceived via the use of computational reduction. Weak emergence ... -
Reducing the Latency of Dependent Operations in Large-Scale Geo-Distributed Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-14)Many applications rely on large-scale distributed systems for data management and computation. These distributed systems are complex and built from different networked services. Dependencies between these services can ... -
A Reduction from Smart Contract Verification to Model Checking
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)We present a reduction from verification of smart contracts to model checking. A smart contract is a computer program written in a language with constructs that correspond to real-world contracts, such as verified sending ...
