Developing a Probe for Real-Time Monitoring of Reagent Injections
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-26)Reagent injections designed to provide in stiu mass destruction of soil and groundwater contaminants are commonly prone to failure due to inadequate distribution of the injected reagent. Reagent injections, in particular ... -
Developing a process of risk-stratified care coordination for older adults in primary care
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-04)BACKGROUND Older Canadians with chronic diseases are the highest users of the health care system. Primary health care (PHC) could play a central, coordinating role in assessing older adults and managing their care, but ... -
Developing a Prototype Web-based Application for Non-Point Source Pollution Assessment in the Songtao Watershed, Hainan, China
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-28)The Songtao reservoir, located in the center of Hainan province, is one of the ten biggest reservoirs in China. Since agriculture is the main industry in the watershed, non-point source (NPS) pollution is the primary ... -
Developing a radar-based machine learning snowfall retrieval algorithm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)As global temperatures continue to rise, snowfall patterns are expected to respond in a complex, nonlinear manner. Changes in the quantity of snowmelt-derived freshwater will impact global water-energy budgets, flood ... -
