Coupled models of structured contagion processes in human-environment systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-15)Models of infectious processes are a common feature in the landscape of applied mathematics. It is rare that these processes are isolated from other significant dynamics in nature, and therefore we can incorporate some of ... -
Coupled Numerical Moelling Of Vacuum Consolidation With Nonuniform Pore Pressure Distribution
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-27)In this study, Biot’s type hydro-mechanical coupled numerical models are used to examine ground improvement of fine-grained soft soil deposits using prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and vacuum assisted consolidation ... -
A Coupled Snow Operations-Skier Demand Model for the Ontario (Canada) Ski Region
(EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, 2016-04-01)The multi-billion dollar global ski industry is one of the tourism subsectors most directly impacted by climate variability and change. In the decades ahead, the scholarly literature consistently projects decreased reliability ... -
Coupled Topology Optimization and Process Simulation System for Laser Powder-bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-11)Additive Manufacturing (AM), widely known as 3D printing, is a transformative method to industrial manufacturing, helping in creating lighter, stronger, smarter parts and systems. As one of the most important and commercially ... -
Coupling Fishery Dynamics, Human Health And Social Learning In A Model Of Fish-Borne Pollution Exposure
(Springer, 2016-03-01)Pollution-induced illnesses are caused by toxicants that result from human activity and are often entirely preventable. However, where industrial priorities have undermined responsible governance, exposed populations must ... -
Coupling of two natural complex systems: earthquake-triggered landslides
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-30)This thesis contains two main parts. The first part presents a database compiling 137 landslide-triggering earthquakes (LTEs) worldwide, with magnitudes greater than the minimum observed threshold for causing landslides ... -
Coupling reactive transport and travel time modeling at the watershed scale
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Nonpoint source pollution poses the greatest threat to water quality in developed countries. Modeling this type of pollution is a challenge for reactive transport models because of the change in scale: moving from a local ... -
Coupling solid phase microextraction to complementary separation platforms for metabotyping of E. coli metabolome in response to natural antibacterial agents
(Springer, 2016-11-02)Introduction Essential oils are known to possess antimicrobial activity; thus, their use has played an important role over the years in medicine and for food preservation purposes. Objective The effect of clove oil and its ... -
Courant's Nodal Line Theorem and its discrete counterparts
(University of Waterloo, 2000) -
The Course of Pharnakes II’s Pontic and Bosporan Campaigns in 48/47 BC
(University of Toronto Press, 2020-11-01)Appian’s account of Pharnakes’ Pontic campaign (Mithr. 120.590–595) conveys the impression that the king of the Bosporos started his attack on Asia Minor by attacking Sinope from the sea. The end of the narrative, however, ... -
Court convictions of a Canadian birth cohort
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)Although youth crime and young offenders have attracted a significant amount of ongoing research attention and have given rise to a voluminous amount of literature devoted to describing and explaining their existence and ... -
Courtyard Urbanism : A Model for North American Cities?
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-26)The courtyard has endured as one of the most widespread architectural forms, transcending regional, historical and cultural boundaries to mediate open and closed, inside and outside, social constraints and environmental ... -
Covalent linking DNA to graphene oxide and its comparison with physisorbed probes for Hg2+ detection
(Elsevier, 2016-05-15)Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted extensive research interest as a platform for DNA adsorption and biosensor development. While most researchers use simple physisorption of fluorescently labeled DNA, covalent sensors are ... -
A Covariant Natural Ultraviolet Cutoff in Inflationary Cosmology
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-28)In the field of quantum gravity, it is widely expected that some form of a minimum length scale, or ultraviolet cutoff, exists in nature. Recently, a new natural ultraviolet cutoff that is fully covariant was proposed. In ... -
Coverage Path Planning and Room Segmentation in Indoor Environments using the Constriction Decomposition Method
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)The task of complete coverage path planning in complex 2D environments is a classic NP- Hard problem that has been an active research topic for well over 30 years. A common approach to solving coverage problem in such ... -
Coverage Path Planning for a Moving Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)A simple coverage plan called a Conformal Lawn Mower plan is demonstrated. This plan enables a UAV to fully cover the route ahead of a moving ground vehicle. The plan requires only limited knowledge of the ground vehicle's ... -
Covering Graphs and Equiangular Tight Frames
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-02)Recently, there has been huge attention paid to equiangular tight frames and their constructions, due to the fact that the relationship between these frames and quantum information theory was established. One of the problems ... -
Covering Problems via Structural Approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)The minimum set cover problem is, without question, among the most ubiquitous and well-studied problems in computer science. Its theoretical hardness has been fully characterized--logarithmic approximability has been ... -
