Occurrent Contractarianism: A Preference-Based Ethical Theory
(University of Waterloo, 1995)There is a problem within contractarian ethics that I wish to resolve. It concerns individualpreferences. Contractarianism holds that morality, properly conceived, can satisfy individualpreferences and interests better ... -
Calculating Window Solar Heat Gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-07)Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases. The large number of design options necessitates the use of computer simulation for development ... -
A two-dimensional numerical model for glazing system thermal analysis
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)A simple two-dimensional (2-D) numerical control volume formulation is presented that can be used to model heat transfer through a vertical insulated glazing unit. This model accounts for natural convection of the fill gas ... -
Summary and comparison of methods to calculate solar heat gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)Methods used to calculate the solar gain of windows (including center-glass, edge-glass, and frame) are examined and compared Particular attention is devoted to the public-domain computer programs VISION3 and WINDOW 4.1. ... -

Normalizing the Ideal: Psychology, the School, and the Family in Post-World War II
(University of Waterloo, 1996)'Psychology and the Construction of the 'Normal' Family in Postwar Canada, 1945-1960,' investigates the manner in which psychological discourse constructed notions of the normal postwar family in Canada. Despite their ... -
Effcient Simulation of Message-Passing in Distributed-Memory Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 1996)In this thesis we propose a distributed-memory parallel-computer simulation system called PUPPET (Performance Under a Pseudo-Parallel EnvironmenT). It allows the evaluation of parallel programs run in a pseudo-parallel ... -

Overview of a Project to Determine the Surface Temperatures of Insulated Glazing Units: Thermographic Measurement and Two-Dimensional Simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)A collaborative research project was undertaken to generate surface temperature profiles for the indoor side of seven different double and triple-glazed insulated glazing units exposed to the ASHRAE winter design condition. ... -
A study of insulated glazing unit surface temperature profiles using two-dimensional computer simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)This paper describes one part of a collaborative research project, including both measurement and simulation studies, aimed at determining the surface temperature of a set of insulated glazing units (IGUs). In this study ... -
A Correlation to Quantify Convective Heat Transfer Between Vertical Window Glazings
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)Several correlations have been used in recent years for the purpose of calculating convective, centre-glass heat transfer rates across gas-filled interpane window cavities. These correlations are examined and their background ... -
Electric-field-dependent variable-range hopping conductance in quasi-two-dimensional systems: Application to PrBa2Cu3O7-y-based superconductor–normal-metal–superconductor junctions
(American Physical Society, 1996-03)We have calculated the hopping conductivity of quasi-two-dimensional systems by using the variable-range hopping conduction mechanism in the presence of an electric field. We considered that the localized states are randomly ... -
