Implementation of optical depth scanning and wide-field imaging in photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-15)Optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) is a hybrid biomedical imaging technique that utilizes acoustic detection and optical absorption contrast. It is based on the photoacoustic effect, where the excitation ... -
Implementation of Power-to-Gas to Reduce Carbon Intensity and Increase Renewable Content in Liquid Petroleum Fuels
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)Power-to-gas (PtG) is an emerging energy storage concept, which can transfer the surplus and intermittent renewable generated power into a marketable hydrogen, as well as providing other ancillary services for the electrical ... -
Implementation of Roller Blind, Pleated Drape and Insect Screen Models into the CFC Module of the ESP-r Building Energy Simulation Tool
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)The concern of increasing energy consumption with depleting energy resources is ever growing. Though the solution to this problem lies in part in renewable energies, it is becoming increasingly clear that sustainable ... -
An Implementation of the Discontinuous Galerkin Method on Graphics Processing Units
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-07)Computing highly-accurate approximate solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) requires both a robust numerical method and a powerful machine. We present a parallel implementation of the discontinuous Galerkin ... -
