Ni₀.₀₅Mo₃Sb₅.₄Te₁.₆ Based Thermoelectric Nanocomposites
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-04)Thermoelectric (TE) materials have the capability to convert thermal energy into useful electrical energy. Sustainable energy production and its utilization are among the many challenges that humankind is facing today. ... -
NMR Studies of Protein and Peptide Structure and Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-18)Calmodulin (CaM) is a small, acidic cytosolic calcium binding protein that responds to increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. It is proposed to be involved in binding to and regulating over 300 functionally and ... -
NMR Study of Calmodulin’s Interaction with Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)The increase of calcium in the cell can induce cellular functions such as fertilization, cell division and cell communication. Calcium (Ca2+) carries out these processes through proteins called calcium sensors. An important ... -
NMR STUDY OF EXCHANGE AND HYDRATION SITE IDENTIFICATION IN MCM-41
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-16)Deuteron 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy was used to study the dynamics of water molecules within the mesoporous material MCM-41. The deuteron spectra show three magnetization components for a sample hydrated to a 0.2 monolayer ... -
No Common Ground: Atlas of Resistance and Control During the 2010 Toronto G20 Summit
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-22)Architecture and legislation describe the spaces of the city, and the activities they contain. ‘Security’ can dislodge this public space. This is especially true during gatherings of global leaders within major cities. The ... -
NO MAN'S LAND: deconstructing the company camp in Canada's Oil Sands
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-08)For nearly fifty years, commercial development in the Canadian Oil Sands has been the generator of a population explosion in northern Alberta. Oil sector workers seeking stable employment and high wages have been drawn ... -
No Man's Land: The American military landscape as the new American park
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-21)Military landscapes are seldom seen as ecologically diverse territories, full of life. Yet, there is growing evidence that these volatile lands are finding a second life as animal refuges, born out of necessity under the ... -
No Peace - A Drawing Installation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-06)This paper is intended to serve as a supporting document for the exhibition "No Peace" that was held at the Artery Gallery, 158 King St. W, Kitchener, ON, Canada, March 28 - April 18, 2009. This drawing installation ... -
No Zombie Types: Liveness-Based Justification For Monotonic Gradual Types
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Gradual type systems with the monotonic dynamic semantics, such as HiggsCheck implementing SafeTypeScript, are able to achieve decent performance, making them a viable option for JavaScript programmers seeking run-time-checkable ... -
NO3- and N2O at the Strawberry Creek Catchment: tracing sources and processes using stable isotopes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-26)Nitrate (NO3) contamination in agricultural watersheds is a widespread problem that threatens local drinking supplies and downstream ecology. Dual isotopes of NO3- (d15N and d18O) have been successfully used to identify ... -
Noble Gas Collision Induced Vibrational Relaxation of (v=1) para-H2
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Close coupling scattering calculations have been conducted for the para spin modification of H<sub>2</sub>-{He, Ne and Ar}. The XC(fit) potential energy surfaces for H<sub>2</sub>-Ne and H<sub>2</sub>-Ar have been used ... -
NOCH: A framework for biologically plausible models of neural motor control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)This thesis examines the neurobiological components of the motor control system and relates it to current control theory in order to develop a novel framework for models of motor control in the brain. The presented framework ... -
Node Cluster Stability in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)In recent years, efforts have been made to deploy communication capabilities in vehicles and the transport infrastructure, leading to a potential of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In the envisioned VANET, communications ... -
Node-Weighted Prize Collecting Steiner Tree and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)The Steiner Tree problem has appeared in the Karp's list of the first 21 NP-hard problems and is well known as one of the most fundamental problems in Network Design area. We study the Node-Weighted version of the Prize ... -
