Comparison of Conventional and Advanced Pavement Design Methods with Ontario Case Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-14)Many methods have been used to effectively design a pavement structure that carries the required traffic loads. In Canada, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 93 (AASHTO 93), Shell Pavement ... -
Comparison of Cylindrical Boundary Pasting Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Surface pasting is an interactive hierarchical modelling technique used to construct surfaces with varying levels of local detail. The concept is similar to that of the physical process of modelling with clay, where ... -
Comparison of Exact and Approximate Multi-Objective Optimization for Software Product Lines
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-25)Software product lines (SPLs) manage product variants in a systematical way and allow stakeholders to derive variants by selecting features. Finding a desirable variant is hard, due to the huge configuration space and ... -
Comparison of Experimental Methods in the Measurement of Wind Turbine Wakes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-22)With the increasing development of wind energy, it has become essential to study the interactions of turbines within wind farms. Wind turbines create wakes when harnessing the energy in the wind for electricity. Reduced ... -
A Comparison of Five Stakeholders’ Perceptions of Governance under Ontario Provincial Parks’ Management Model
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-27)Governance is widely discussed in various government sectors or agencies such as Health Care and Education and throughout the private sector. Yet, it is only recently that reference to governance with regards to parks and ... -
Comparison of Graphene Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide for DNA Adsorption and Sensing
(American Chemical Society, 2016-10-18)Fluorescently labeled DNA adsorbed on graphene oxide (GO) is a well-established sensing platform for detecting a diverse range of analytes. GO is a loosely defined material and its oxygen content may vary depending on the ... -
