Simplifying the Creation of Multi-core Processors: An Interconnection Architecture and Tool Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-25)The contribution of this thesis is two-fold: an on-chip interconnection architecture designed specifically for multi-core processors and a tool framework that simplifies the process of designing a multi-core processor. ... -
Simulated Annealing Reconstruction and Effective Transport Properties of PEM Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-15)A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy-conversion device that can be used in a wide variety of applications and is considered a promising alternative to gas and diesel engines for vehicular purposes. ... -
Simulated electron affinity tuning in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes
(American Institute of Physics, 2017-04-27)Metal-insulator-metal diodes for rectification applications must exhibit high asymmetry, nonlinearity, and responsivity. Traditional methods of improving these figures of merit have consisted of increasing insulator ... -
Simulated Overloading using Generic Functions in Scheme
(University of Waterloo, 1997)This thesis investigates extending the dynamically-typed, functional programming language Scheme, with simulated overloading in order to permit the binding of multiple, distributed defnitions to function names. Overloading ... -
Simulating a Novel Nitrogen Removal Process Using EnviroPro Designer
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)Ammonia removal is an important problem that Canadian municipalities are encountering in their wastewater treatment systems due to ammonia’s adverse environmental effects and its increasingly stringent discharge ... -
Simulating and Optimizing Nasopharyngeal Swab Insertion Paths for use in Robotics
(IEEE, 2022-11-03)The nasopharyngeal swab is the standardized method of collecting specimens for diagnosing COVID-19, among numerous other respiratory illnesses. While there has been interest from the robotics community in the design of ... -
Simulating Farmer Adoption of Agricultural Best Management Practices in the Upper Medway Creek Subwatershed
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-16)In the coupled human-environment system, humans play a central role in creating various environmental problems, and in turn, are impacted by these environmental consequences. In Canada, water quality degradation caused by ... -
Simulating lake dynamics: the effects of bathymetry and bottom drag
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-31)This work seeks, through numerical simulations as well as analysis, to derive from relatively simple models an intuitive understanding of the dynamics and behaviour of flow in lakes near the bottom boundary. The main body ... -
Simulating Many-Body States of Light and Matter with Tensor Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)When Feynman originally proposed the concept of a quantum computer, his purpose was to perform quantum simulation of complex materials. It is thus a key requirement that quantum resources can emulate physical processes ... -
Simulating quantum matter through lattice field theories
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-16)Quantum many-body systems are comprised of complex networks of microscopic interactions that work together to produce novel collective phases and phenomena. For strongly-interacting systems, the connection between the ... -
Simulating the Effects of Enclosure Retrofits on Post-War High-Rise Apartment Buildings in Cold Climates
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)A large portion of the existing building stock in North America is comprised of post-World War II high-rise apartment buildings, particularly in the Greater Golden Horseshoe in Ontario. They are home to a large portion of ... -
Simulating the Impact of Methane Gas Production from the Clearwater B Formation on the Regional Groundwater Flow System
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-19)The production of natural gas from a saline aquifer will reduce the pressure regime in that aquifer to some degree. Simultaneously, this relief in pressure will causes gas to be exsolved out of the aqueous phase, which ... -
Simulating the impact of water infrastructure on groundwater and surface water within the Laurel Creek Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)As the urbanization of the City of Waterloo, the infrastructure system expanded fast in the last couple decades. The increased population gave a higher load to the Laurel Creek Watershed. At the same time, the aged ... -
Simulating the Predevelopment Hydrologic Condition of the San Joaquin Valley, California
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-23)The San Joaquin Valley is part of the Great Central Valley of California, a major agricultural centre and food supplier for the United States. This area has significant water management concerns given the very high water ... -
Simulating the TCE DNAPL Source Zone Below the Water Table at the Santa Susanna Field Laboratory
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-26)Both 2D and 3D numerical models using the CompFlow Bio were built to simulate TCE introduced from 1940 through 1990 due to industrial activities, in the fractured bedrock with a turbidities sequence of sandstones with shale ... -
Simulating Wintertime Lake Dynamics Using the MITgcm Ice Model
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-23)Lake Erie is an important source of drinking water, a location for recreational activities and a haven for unique ecosystems (e.g. Point Pelee). Recent research has suggested that some wintertime processes are significantly ... -
