(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-14)Additive manufacturing (AM) is an advanced production technique that creates components by depositing material layer by layer. AM has been deployed industrially for producing metallic parts from alloys which pose challenges ... -
Process Oscillations in Continuous Ethanol Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-25)Based on ethanol fermentation kinetics and bioreactor engineering theory, a system composed of a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and three tubular bioreactors in series was established for continuous very high ... -
Process Quality Improvement in Thermosonic Wire Bonding
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-15)This thesis demonstrates the feasibility of methods developed to increase the quality of the crescent bond together with the tail bond quality. Low pull force of the crescent bond limits the usage of insulated Au wire in ... -
A process-based stable isotope approach to carbon cycling in recently flooded upland boreal forest reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Reservoirs impound and store large volumes of water and flood land. The water is used for electricity generation, irrigation, industrial and municipal consumption, flood control and to improve navigation. The ... -
The Processing and Characterization of Porous Ni/YSZ and NiO/YSZ Composites used in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an energy conversion device that has the potential to efficiently generate electricity in an environmentally-friendly manner. In general, a SOFC operates between 750°C and 1000°C ... -
Processing Exact Results for Queries over Data Streams
(University of Waterloo, 2010-03-11)In a growing number of information-processing applications, such as network-traffic monitoring, sensor networks, financial analysis, data mining for e-commerce, etc., data takes the form of continuous data streams rather ... -
Procrastination as Self-regulatory Failure: Habitual Avoidance and Inhibitory Control Moderate the Intention-Behaviour Relation for Unpleasant Tasks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-25)Recent conceptualizations of procrastination suggest that procrastination is akin to self-regulatory failure wherein the effect of good intentions is attenuated for individuals who tend to procrastinate. Some researchers ... -
Product Design of Wheat Straw Polypropylene Composite
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-15)The use of wheat straw and other agricultural by-product fibers in polymer composite materials offers many economical and environmental benefits. Wheat straw has been recently commercialized as new filler for polypropylene ... -
Product Differentiation and Operations Strategy for Price and Time Sensitive Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-29)In this dissertation, we study the interplay between a firm’s operations strategy, with regard to its capacity management, and its marketing decision of product differentiation. For this, we study a market comprising ... -
Production and Characterization of Electrospun Metal Nanofibers for Applications in Nanoaerosol Filtration
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-13)Airborne particles have a large impact on human health and the environment. They can be as small as a few nanometers. Electrospun nanofibrous materials have shown strong potential in filtering airborne nanoparticles for ... -
Production and Characterization of Wheat Gluten Films
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-17)Biodegradable, edible wheat gluten films offer a renewable alternative to plastic food packaging or can be incorporated directly in the food product. Wheat gluten is a good option because it forms a fibrous network, lending ... -
The production and fate of picoplankton and protozoa in the pelagic food web of Napoleon Gulf, Lake Victoria, East Africa
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The importance of the microbial food web and how it interplays with the classical food chain has gained considerable attention in temperate lakes. However its role in carbon transfer from pico- and nanoplankton to ... -
Production and fractionation of antioxidant peptides from soy protein isolate using sequential membrane ultrafiltration and nanofiltration
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-17)Antioxidants are molecules capable of stabilizing and preventing oxidation. Certain peptides, protein hydrolysates, have shown antioxidant capacities, which are obtained once liberated from the native protein structure. ... -
