Recovery of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids from Contaminated Soil by CO2-Supersaturated Water Injection
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-24)Supersaturated water injection (SWI) is a novel remediation technology which is able to remove entrapped residual NAPLs from saturated porous media by both volatilization (partitioning of volatile contaminants into the gas ... -
Recovery of Volatile Aroma Compounds by Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-03)This research investigates the potential application of poly(ether block amide) (PEBA) membranes for the separation of volatile aroma compounds from wine and the effect of non-volatile components on the separation performance ... -
Recreating a Taste of Home in Canada: A Radical Interpretive Inquiry into Toronto’s Intergenerational Chinese Food Sharing Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-13)In multicultural Toronto, there is a large and increasing Chinese population. However, only very limited recent sociological research has been conducted on the lived experiences of Chinese immigrants and the children of ... -
Recurrence in Algebraic Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-28)The Dynamical Mordell--Lang Conjecture states that if a polynomial orbit has infinite intersection with a closed set in an algebraic variety, then the intersection must occur periodically. Although this problem is unsolved ... -
Recurrent Neural Network Dual Resistance Control of Multiple Memory Shape Memory Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are materials with extraordinary thermomechanical properties which have caused numerous engineering advances. NiTi SMAs in particular have been studied for decades revealing many useful characteristics ... -
Recursive Estimation of Structure and Motion from Monocular Images
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-22)The determination of the 3D motion of a camera and the 3D structure of the scene in which the camera is moving, known as the Structure from Motion (SFM) problem, is a central problem in computer vision. Specifically, the ... -
Recyclable Photocatalysts for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-09)One of the largest environmental challenges faced by Canada is the cleanup and reclamation of land and water impacted by mining operations in the Athabasca oil sands. The persistence of toxicity associated with the soluble ... -
Recycled Concrete Aggregate – A Viable Aggregate Source For Concrete Pavements
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-06)Virgin aggregate is being used faster than it is being made available creating a foreseeable shortage in the future. Despite this trend, the availability of demolished concrete for use as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) ... -
Recycled Concrete Aggregate: Influence of Aggregate Pre-Saturation and Curing Conditions on the Hardened Properties of Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-13)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is a construction material, which is being used in the Canadian construction industry more frequently than it was in the past. The environmental benefits associated with RCA use, such as ... -
Recycling polyethylene terephthalate – based automotive carpets using chain extenders via reactive extrusion
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-09)Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a common polyester used in various applications, ranging from packaging to clothing. The automotive industry utilizes this material to manufacture the velour carpet mats ... -
Red coralline algae and climate change: growth, magnesium concentration variability and the development of a new palaeoclimate proxy
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-22)Past ocean acidification recorded in the geological record facilitates the understanding of rates and influences of contemporary pCO2 enrichment. High resolution proxies of pCO2 and pH can be used to reconstruct ... -
