(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-25)In the summer of 2007, a single neighbourhood in downtown Toronto contributed at least 13 percent of all residential grid‐tie solar photovoltaic (PV) systems sold in the Canadian province of Ontario. On average, PV ... -
Residents’ and tourists’ perspectives on potential introduction of casino industry and its role in tourism and community development: the case of the Republic of Cyprus
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)For years, the gambling industry has been gaining popularity among a variety of countries and communities for its contribution to tourism development and thus, to the economy. At the same time, the addictive nature of the ... -
Residual finite dimensionality and representations of amenable operator algebras
(Elsevier, 2019-04-15)We consider a version of a famous open problem formulated by Kadison, asking whether bounded representations of operator algebras are automatically completely bounded. We investigate this question in the context of amenable ... -
Residual Stresses In Circular Thin Plates Using Two Dimensional X-ray Diffraction And Finite Element Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)There are many causes of structural failure. One of the most important factors leading to material failure is residual stress. This stress represents effects left in structures after processing or removal of external ... -
Residual-Based Isotropic and Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation for Computational Fluid Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)The accuracy of a fluid flow simulation depends not only on the numerical method used for discretizing the governing equations, but also on the distribution and topology of the mesh elements. Mesh adaptation is a technique ... -
The Residue of Flight: Investigations Into the Life of Matter
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-23)This thesis is a journey that unfolds alongside the transformations of a river during springtime. Moods and movements captured by Ted Hughes in his poem Stump Pool in April inspire a series of explorations that set out to ... -
Resilience assessment in geotechnical engineering
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-15)Impacts of inevitable disasters and climate change have been major concerns for the safety and sustainability of communities in the recent past. In an effort to reduce these impacts, development of resilience in civil ... -
Resilience in the tantalum supply chain
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)Tantalum, considered one of the critical elements by many countries, is a widely used metal in industries such as electronics, aerospace and automotive. The tantalum market has experienced several disruptions and subsequent ... -
Resilient Corner-Based Vehicle Velocity Estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-02-23)This paper presents longitudinal and lateral velocity estimators by considering the effect of the suspension compliance (SC) at each corner (tire) for ground vehicles. The estimators are developed to be resilient to sensor ... -
Resilient Disaster Recovery: A Critical Assessment of the 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia Earthquake using a Vulnerability, Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami devastated coastal areas of several countries in South East Asia, there has been renewed interest in disaster recovery operations. Although governments and aid organizations have ... -
RESILIENT GROUND: A Proposal for Re-Establishing Relationship Between People, Land and Water in Saigon/Ho-Chi-Minh City Amidst Urbanization and Flooding
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)The urban fabric of Saigon (also known as Ho Chi Minh City, HCMC) is an intense and complex layering of planning and development. It has provoked my curiosity for a long time because of its pragmatic, informal, and ... -
Resistance Spot Weld Fatigue Life Prediction Method Compatibility with Self-Piercing Rivets
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-15)The Resistance Spot Weld (RSW) is traditional method for structural sheet metal joining with well established durability assessment techniques and methodologies. With increased prevalence of multi-material automotive ... -
Resistance Spot Welding and In-Process Heat Treatment of Hot Stamped Boron Steel
(University of Waterloo, 2016-03-15)Escalating environmental concerns have prompted efforts to reduce vehicle weight and carbon emissions, resulting in increased application of advanced high strength steels (AHSS). 22MnB5 hot stamping grade AHSS, namely ... -
