(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-21)The idea of democracy, in Western societies is inseparable from the public space. As an accessible space for all, public space provides a realm for everyday activities, social interaction, communication, and the practice ... -
Public Transportation Electrification with the Support of Mobile Energy Storage
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-24)In recent decades, fossil fuels and carbon emissions reduction have become an increasingly popular global phenomenon; therefore, a number of governments worldwide have allocated substantial funds to transportation ... -
Pulse Flow Enhancement in Two-Phase Media
(University of Waterloo, 2001)This laboratory project has been done to evaluate pressure pulsing as an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique. To perform the study, a consistent laboratory methodology was developed, including the construction of a ... -
Pulsed Active Steering Hardware in the Loop Experiment
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-25)Active safety vehicle systems are continuously being researched to make vehicles safer to drive. Active steering is a new active safety system that involves controlling the vehicle steering angle during the vehicle's loss ... -
Pulsed Biosparging of the E10 Gasoline Source in the Borden Aquifer
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-27)Air sparging is a technique used to remediate gasoline contamination. In sparging, air is injected below the target zone and removes contamination via two separate mechanisms; volatilization and biodegradation. In ... -
Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser Processing of Nitinol
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-08)The excellent pseudoelasticity, shape memory and biocompatibility of Nitinol have made it a leading candidate for applications in various fields, including aerospace, micro-electronics and medical devices. Challenges ... -
Pulsing Territories, Perpetual Frontiers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-11)The construction of the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali in 1969 facilitated the birth of mass tourism on the island, as well as an increasing concentration of tourist-centered developments. As the tourism industry ... -
Punching Shear Retrofit Method Using Shear Bolts for Reinforced Concrete Slabs under Seismic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-10)Reinforced concrete slab-column structures are widely used because of their practicality. However, this type of structures can be subject to punching-shear failure in the slab-column connections. Without shear reinforcement, ... -
Punching Shear Retrofit of Concrete Slab-Column Connections with GFRP Shear Bolts
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Over the life span of a structure it may become necessary to retrofit, or strengthen certain components or elements. This may be due to construction errors, changes in use and occupancy, or changes due to material ... -
PUPy: A Generalized, Optimistic Context Detection Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-28)In modern life, the usage of smart devices like smartphones and laptops that allow for access to information, communication with friends and colleagues and other indispensable services has become ubiquitous. People have ... -
Purely top-down software rebuilding
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Software rebuilding is the process of deriving a deployable software system from its primitive source objects. A build tool helps maintain consistency between the derived objects and source objects by ensuring that all ... -
Purification and Characterization of O2-insensitive Pyruvate Decarboxylase from Sulfolobus species
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-17)Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a key enzyme in a two-step pathway for the production of ethanol. It catalyzes the non-oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetaldehyde in many mesophilic organisms. No conventional PDC ... -
