(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-01)Today’s industry seeks to engage in change which provides both environmentally and economically sustainable manufacturing solutions. The plastic industry’s current challenge is to produce bio-based polymers which offer ... -
In Support of Open-Loop Supply Chains: Expanding the scope of environmental sustainability in reverse supply chains
(Elsevier, 2019-03-20)This study expands the environmental sustainability paradigm of reverse supply chains. The study examines the notion of closed-loop supply chains and suggests the use of the term in academia and business is too limited ... -
In the Eye of the Beholder: Perceptions of Ecotourism in Algonquin Provincial Park
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Since its inception, ecotourism has been promoted as a solution to some of the problems of biodiversity conservation. It has been touted as having the potential to balance the diverse interests of various publics by ensuring ... -
In The Fields: the Fun Palace, Co-creation, and the Digital City
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-14)In 1963, architect Cedric Price, theatre producer Joan Littlewood, and cybernetician Gordon Pask proposed a new kind of leisure centre called the Fun Palace. Though never built, the project continues to influence architecture ... -
In the new era of Internet of Things even your breathing rate is not private
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)This thesis shows a new type of attack that can secretly gather private measurements from the target. Wi-Sneak is a stealthy reconnaissance attack which utilizes the ambient WiFi signal and ubiquitous WiFi-enabled devices ... -
In the Shadow of an Oak Tree : A place to heal for women of Sarpol Zahab city
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-02)Natural disasters are unpredictable, terrible events that can change people’s lives in less than a minute, like the 7.3 earthquake that shook western Iran in November 2017. Sarpol Zahab, a small Kurdish city sited near ... -
In the Shadow of the Wall: An Entrance into the Lives of Displaced Palestinians
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-31)What totalitarian regimes do is to—and this is what makes them extremely devastating—is they look at you and say, “You are not.” Or, “You are something else.” Or, “This event didn’t exist.” This power, that is only God’s ... -
In the Shadows of the Sea: the Destruction and Recovery of Zeeland, the Netherlands, 1940-1948
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-02)This study explores the wartime experiences of the rural Dutch province of Zeeland from the German invasion in May 1940 to 1948 by a close reading of Dutch newspapers as well as Dutch government and Allied sources. It seeks ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-02)Iranian communities constitute one of the largest settler ethnic groups in Toronto. Coming from diverse cultural backgrounds, Iranians become disconnected from their cultural norms and geographical roots following their ... -
In vitro analysis of wettability and physical properties of blister pack solutions of hydrogel contact lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-30)Contact lens success is primarily driven by comfort of the lens in eye. Over the years, many modifications have been made to the lens surface and bulk material to improve comfort of the lens, however 50% of contact lens ... -
In vitro and ex vivo wettability of hydrogel contact lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The wettability of contact lenses has become an area of intense research, with the belief that the more "hydrophilic" or wettable the lens surface is, the more comfortable the lens may be, as the posterior surface of the ... -
