Greenhouse gas cycling in experimental boreal reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-05)Hydroelectric reservoirs account for 59% of the installed electricity generating capacity in Canada and 26% in Ontario. Reservoirs also provide irrigation capacity, drinking water, and recreational opportunities. Further, ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(Finnish Peatland Society, 2016-04)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), 2016-04-08)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Greenhouse Gas Emissions cuts, a set of fuel-based mitigation wedges in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-24)To combat climate change, a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and low-carbon systems is necessary. The energy sector plays a pivotal role in this transition. This thesis aims to guide the Canadian oil ... -
Greenhouse gas flux and budget from an experimentally flooded wetland using stable isotopes and geochemistry
(University of Waterloo, 2003)A boreal forest wetland (L979) was flooded in 1993 at the Experimental Lakes Area, Ontario to imitate a hydroelectric reservoir and to study the effects of flooding on greenhouse gas production and emission. Flooding ... -
Greening the Game: Understanding the Organizational and Geographic Factors Influencing Environmental Commitment Among Professional Sports Teams
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)North American professional sports teams have substantial economic and social leverage due to their sizeable revenue streams and captive audiences. However, these professional sports teams also have the potential to influence ... -
Greenspace Planning in Ontario’s High-rise Environments: The greenspace planning context and experiences of families with children in high-rises
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-31)Despite a growing number of families with children living in urban settings, cities remain largely unequipped to support families, particularly in high-rise settings that are marketed and designed towards singletons, young ... -
Green’s Function for Poisson Equation in Layered Nano-Structures including Graphene
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-04)The purpose of this thesis is to focus on the electrostatic properties of graphene-based nanostructures consisting of different materials, as well as their interactions with external electric charges, by solving the boundary ... -
Gregory of Nazianzus: carmen II. 1. 22: An Edition and Commentary
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Gregory of Nazianzus (ca. AD 330-390) was one of the most learned men of his time and is one of the most important theologians of the early Christian Church. His orations, letters and poetry were widely studied and greatly ... -
Grey Level Visual Cryptography for General Access Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Visual cryptography, first introduced by Naor and Shamir, allows a secret (black and white) image to be encoded and distributed to a set of participants such that certain predefined sets of participants may reconstruct the ... -
Grey Numbers in Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis and Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-24)Definitions of grey numbers are adapted for incorporation into Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis and the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution in order to capture uncertainty in decision making. The main objective is to ... -
GREY TO GREEN 13 GATES TO THE GREENBELT
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)The Greenbelt was created by the Government of Ontario in 2005 to protect working farms, wetlands, natural habitats, woods and river valleys that surround the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Its vast 8000 square kilometers ... -
Grid + Ghost
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-21)The thesis begins with a notion to design a school of architecture in Saskatchewan. The context, at first, appears overwhelmingly basic: an agricultural grid superimposed on a horizontal plain, under an endless sky. This ... -
Grid Filters for Local Nonlinear Image Restoration
(University of Waterloo, 1998)A new approach to local nonlinear image restoration is described, based on approximating functions using a regular grid of points in a many-dimensional space. Symmetry reductions and compression of the sparse grid make ... -
Grid-able Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids: Incorporation into Demand Response
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Electric transportation has attracted a great deal of interest within the transport sector because of its notable potential to become a low-carbon substitute for conventional combustion engine vehicles. However, widespread ... -
Gromit An In-Memory Graph Database
(University of Waterloo, 2017-02-28)This work presents the implementation of an in-memory graph database management system called Gromit. This graph database represents large and complex networks using labelled property graphs, and encodes semantic information ... -
Ground states of linear rotor chains via the density matrix renormalization group
(American Institute of Physics, 2018-04-04)In recent years, experimental techniques have enabled the creation of ultracold optical lattices of molecules and endofullerene peapod nanomolecular assemblies. It was previously suggested that the rotor model resulting ... -
