Innovative Evaluation of Crumb Rubber Asphalt and Recycled Asphalt Pavement
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-02)Recycling asphalt pavement is consistent with the concept of sustainability and when engineered properly, it can potentially provide a more cost-effective alternative to conventional road practices. In 2011, the Centre for ... -
Innovative Methods for the Catalyzed Construction of Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)The selective transformation of carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds represents an attractive approach and rapidly developing frontier in synthesis. Benefits include step and atom economy, as well as the ubiquitous ... -
INNOVATIVE NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT) FOR CONDITION ASSESSMNET OF LONGITUDINAL JOINTS IN ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)The failure of longitudinal construction joints is one of the critical factors causing accelerated pavement deterioration. Poor-quality longitudinal construction joints are often characterized by a difference in elevation ... -
Innovative Opportunistic Scheduling Algorithms for Networks with Packet-Level Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-07)Scheduling in wireless networks plays an important role. The undeterministic nature of the wireless channel is usually considered as an undesirable property. Recently, the idea of opportunistic scheduling is introduced ... -
Innovative Shear Connections for the Accelerated Construction of Composite Bridges
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-13)Accelerated bridge construction methods are being progressively used to construct and replace bridges in North America. Unlike traditional bridge construction methods, accelerated bridge construction methods allow bridges ... -
Innovative Studies for the Construction of Carbon-Carbon Bonds to Access Synthetically Challenging Scaffolds and Novel Models for Halogen Bonding Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-28)The formation of carbon-carbon bonds to access sterically challenging all-carbon quaternary centers still remains a synthetic challenge. Conjugate addition reactions have proven to be a very effective strategy for transferring ... -
Inorganic Phosphor Coatings for Ultraviolet Responsive Image Detectors
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Typical CCD digital imaging sensors are insensitive to ultraviolet ( UV ) radiation by virtue of the very shallow ( 2 nm ) penetration depth in silicon. This warrants the use of a post-packaging coating to up-covert the ... -
An Inquiry into Mental Variation
(University of Waterloo, 1995)Although there are both common and specialised senses of the term variation, (the OED lists dozens) there seems to be no well defined use of this term in philosophy. The main task of my thesis is to demonstrate that ... -
An inquiry into the generic social processes of science
(University of Waterloo, 1999) -
Insight into Quantitation of Solid-phase Microextraction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-21)Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a well-known sampling and sample preparation technique used for a wide variety of analytical applications. As there are various complex processes taking place at the time of extraction ... -
Insights into the Effect of the PDMS-Layer on the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Analyte Sorption onto the Matrix-Compatible Solid Phase Microextraction Coating
(American Chemical Society, 2017-03-07)The currently presented research investigated the performance of matrix compatible PDMS-overcoated fibers (PDMS-DVB/PDMS) as compared to unmodified PDMS/ DVB coatings using aqueous samples and employing a wide range of ... -
Insights into the metabolic regulation of insulin secretion using a metabolomics approach
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-20)In the post genomic era, metabolomics, as an integrated part of system biology, offers a promising approach to identify biomarkers associated with diseases and hence has been widely used in disease diagnosis, toxicology, ... -
Insights to Using Contact Lenses for Drug Delivery
(Omics International, 2013)There has been considerable interest in the potential application of contact lenses for ocular drug delivery. This short communication provides an overview of the challenges faced by delivering drugs using contact lenses, ... -
Insole Energy Harvesting
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-10)Various energy harvesting techniques have been studied extensively to power portable devices. Each technique has proven to have advantages and disadvantages. Generating energy from human walking is an important energy ... -
Instabilities in Higher-Dimensional Theories of Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A number of models of nature incorporate dimensions beyond our observed four. In this thesis we examine some examples and consequences of classical instabilities that emerge in the higher-dimensional theories of gravity ... -
The Instability of Geophysical Flows: Two-layer Frontal Instabilities and Continuously Stratified Inertial Instabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-11)This thesis examines the instabilities of idealized two layer fronts with vertically curved interfaces as well as the inertial instabilities of barotropic and baroclinic jets with background linear stratification. We ... -
