Comprehensive Settlement Planning in the MacKenzie River Delta, N.W.T.: A Proposed Planning Theory and Methodology (Northwest Territories)
(University of Waterloo, 1967)The arctic and subarctic regions of Canada are increasingly developing as integral, participating parts of the total Canadian and world scene. Basic to this development in the North are the human, natural physical, and ... -
Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora
(University of Waterloo, 1967-02)The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride ... -
The electrostatic potential in a finite ionic crystal
(University of Waterloo, 1972-11-01)This thesis is written in two parts. In Part One, we develop a new method for evaluating three dimensional lattice summations and apply it to the evaluation of the electrostatic potential of a finite ionic crystal. We then ... -
Nishga Initiative and Missionary Response: Robert Doolan at Quinwoch, B.C.
(SAGE, 1981-07-01)In this historical study of the work of pioneer missionary Robert Doolan, Professor Patterson points out the initiative shown by the Nishga people of the northwest coast of British Columbia and how this interest helped ... -
A Novel Furnace Design Utilizing a Low Temperature Plastic Condensing Heat Exchanger
(1982-03)The initial phase of a research and development program for the Consumers' Gas Co. and the Federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources to design a condensing heat exchanger/gas fired residential air furnace has been ... -
Native Missionaries of the North Pacific Coast: Philip McKay and Others
(University of the Pacific, 1986)IN WRITING THE HISTORY of nineteenth century Christian missions the tendency has been to deal primarily with the European and Euro-American or Euro-Canadian missionaries and their exploits—as adventure, devotion, sacrifice, ... -
Effective U-values and Shading Coefficients of Preheat/Supply Air Glazing Systems
(1986-06)Research is documented which makes use of a computer program called VISION, This computer program was developed specifically to provide a detailed analysis of heat transfer occurring in glazing systems. VISION was modified ... -
Simulation And Measurement Of Windows With Metal Films Used In Conjunction With Teflon Inner Glazings
(1987-09)Previous work has shown that highly infrared transparent plastic films are well suited for use as inner glazings when used in conjunction with a low emissivity coating. Thermal resistance measurements of a set of glazing ... -
Simulation and Measurement of Windows with Low Emissivity Coatings Used in Conjunction with Teflon Inner Glazings
(1987-09)Theoretical work has illustrated that highly infrared, transparent plastic films are well suited for use as intermediate glazings when used in conjunction with a low emissivity coating. Prototype glazing systems that ... -
Glazing System U-Value Measurement Using a Guarded Heater Plate Apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1988)Precise heat transfer measurements have been carried out during the last 20 years using a guarded heater plate apparatus. This apparatus has been adapted and used over the last several years to perform U-value measurements ... -
Natural Convection in Sealed Glazing Units: A Review
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1989)In cold climates the augmented edge-glass heat transfer at the bottom of a glazing system creates a special problem. This is where condensed water and/or frost most readily occur. Two mechanisms determining the rate of ... -
Thermal resistance measurement of glazing system edge-seals and seal materials using a guarded heater plate apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1989)In cold climates the increased edge-glass heat transfer at the perimeter of a sealed glazing unit creates a special problem. This is where condensed water and frost most readily occur. One mechanism contributing to edge-glass ... -
A Study Of Pane Spacing In Glazing Systems
(Solar Energy Society of Canada, 1989-06)The selection of optimum pane spacing for glazing systems has been a topic of ongoing debate in the window manufacturing industry. Arguments are often based on speculation, intuition and results from tests not specifically ... -
Thermal Resistance Measurement Of Glazing System Edge-seals
(1989-11)The existing design of glazing system edge-seals creates increased edge-glass heat transfer at the perimeter of sealed glazing units. This thermal short-circuit caused by edge-seal conduction results in added mechanical ... -
L'Adultère e(s)t la souffrance : analyse thématique et exemplifiée de l'œuvre fictive de Guy de Maupassant
(University of Waterloo, 1991-01-07)Partant de la suggestion d'André Vial, ''l'un des critiques les plus importants" de l'œuvre de Guy de Maupassant, que l'infidélité conjugale est un des thèmes parcourant son œuvre, cette étude visera à développer la pensée ... -
City Core Neighbourhoods Designed for Sustainability
(University of Waterloo, 1993)Humankind's ability to ensure sustainability of the biosphere depends upon the integrated and concerted efforts of all peoples in all places. This study examines the critical need to focus on the achievement of sustainability ... -
Contributions to the study of general relativistic shear-free perfect fluids: an approach involving Cartan's equivalence method, differential forms and symbolic computation
(University of Waterloo, 1993)It has been conjectured that general relativistic shear-free perfect fluids with a barotropic equation of state, and such that the energy density, µ, and the pressure, p, satisfy µ + p ̸= 0, cannot simultaneously be rotating ... -
Logic in Pictures: An Examination of Diagrammatic Representations, Graph Theory and Logic
(University of Waterloo, 1994)This thesis explores the various forms of reasoning that are associated with diagrams. It does this by a logical analysis of diagrammatic symbols. The thesis is divided into three sections dealing with different aspects ... -
A two-dimensional numerical model for natural convection in a vertical, rectangular window cavity
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1994-12-31)It is common for sealed glazing units to exhibit condensation problems when operated in cold climates. Condensation often forms along the perimeter of the exposed surface of the indoor glazing because of the thermal short ... -
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 ...
