ReserveTM: Optimizing for Eager Software Transactional Memory
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-26)Software Transactional Memory (STM) helps programmers write correct concurrent code by allowing them to identify atomic sections rather than focusing on the mechanics of concurrency control. Given code with atomic sections, ... -
Reservoir Geomechanics and Casing Stability, X1-3Area, Daqing Oilfield
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-24)It is widely understood that injection and production activities can induce additional stress fields that will couple with the in situ stress field. An increased shear stress may cause serious casing stability issue, and ... -
Reservoir screening criteria for deep slurry injection
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Deep slurry injection is a process of solid waste disposal that involves grinding the solid waste to a relatively fine-grained consistency, mixing the ground waste with water and/or other liquids to form slurry, and disposing ... -
Resident Attitudes towards Tourism Development in Conservative Cultures: The Case of Qatar
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-15)Over the past decade, Persian Gulf countries witnessed an increase in tourism development and the number of international tourists. Though tourism development plays an important role in enhancing economies, tourism ... -
Resident Perceptions of Tourism in a Rapidly Growing Mountain Tourism Destination
(University of Waterloo, 2006)It is generally agreed that tourism results in both positive and negative impacts for residents of tourism destinations. There is a need to study resident perceptions of tourism because local residents are the ones who ... -
Residential encroachment within suburban forests: Are Ontario municipal policies sufficient for protecting suburban forested natural areas for the long term?
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-25)Many natural areas and systems within urban landscapes are small or narrow. Landscape ecology studies within forested and agricultural landscapes have found that small natural areas that are protected from development or ... -
Residential Solar Energy Adoption in a Community Context: Perceptions and Characteristics of Potential Adopters in a West Toronto Neighbourhood
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-25)In the summer of 2007, a single neighbourhood in downtown Toronto contributed at least 13 percent of all residential grid‐tie solar photovoltaic (PV) systems sold in the Canadian province of Ontario. On average, PV ... -
Residents’ and tourists’ perspectives on potential introduction of casino industry and its role in tourism and community development: the case of the Republic of Cyprus
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)For years, the gambling industry has been gaining popularity among a variety of countries and communities for its contribution to tourism development and thus, to the economy. At the same time, the addictive nature of the ... -
Residual Stresses In Circular Thin Plates Using Two Dimensional X-ray Diffraction And Finite Element Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)There are many causes of structural failure. One of the most important factors leading to material failure is residual stress. This stress represents effects left in structures after processing or removal of external ... -
Residual-Based Isotropic and Anisotropic Mesh Adaptation for Computational Fluid Dynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)The accuracy of a fluid flow simulation depends not only on the numerical method used for discretizing the governing equations, but also on the distribution and topology of the mesh elements. Mesh adaptation is a technique ... -
The Residue of Flight: Investigations Into the Life of Matter
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-23)This thesis is a journey that unfolds alongside the transformations of a river during springtime. Moods and movements captured by Ted Hughes in his poem Stump Pool in April inspire a series of explorations that set out to ... -
Resilience assessment in geotechnical engineering
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-15)Impacts of inevitable disasters and climate change have been major concerns for the safety and sustainability of communities in the recent past. In an effort to reduce these impacts, development of resilience in civil ... -
