Condominium Towers: Habitus and alienation in the new urban framework
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-26)Since 2002, over 180000 new dwellings have been built in Toronto through condominium ownership, filling the downtown core with towers and locking much of the city’s society into a relatively new model of property ownership ... -
Condos in the Suburb: What are the Drivers Behind the Decision to Move into Suburban Condominiums?
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-12)High-rise residential condominiums are increasingly utilized by suburban municipalities in Canada as an alternative to suburban sprawl for accommodating population growth. Despite its increasing adoption, little research ... -
Conductive Cellulose Nanocrystals for Electrochemical Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-23)Recognized as the ‘nature’s latest wonder material’, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), can be extracted from cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on earth. This nanomaterial is inherently renewable, nontoxic, sustainable, ... -
Conductive Thermoplastic Composite Blends for Flow Field Plates for Use in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)<br><br>
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This project is aimed at developing and demonstrating highly conductive, lightweight, and low-cost thermoplastic blends to be used as flow field bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. <br><br> ... -
Confined Quantum Molecular Degrees of Freedom
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-22)Motivated by recent experimental measurements of the degeneracy lifting of the rotational ground state of molecular ortho-H2 con ned inside the fullerene cage C60 and, more generally, motivated by the physics of con ned ... -
Conflict detection in dual-process theory: Are we good at detecting when we are biased at decision making?
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)In the domain of reasoning and decision making, some dual-process theorists have suggested that people are highly efficient at detecting conflicting outputs engendered by competing intuitive and analytic processes (De Neys ... -
Conflicting Attitudes in Environmental Management and Brownfield Redevelopment
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-18)An enhanced attitudes methodology within the framework of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is developed and applied to a range of environmental disputes, including a sustainable development conflict, an ... -
Conformation of 2-fold Anisotropic Molecules Confined on a Spherical Surface
(University of Waterloo, 2012-03-09)Anisotropic molecules confined on a spherical or other curved surface can display coupled positional and orientational orderings, which make possible applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and material science. ... -
Conformational Ensemble Generation via Constraint-based Rigid-body Dynamics Guided by the Elastic Network Model
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)Conformational selection is the idea that proteins traverse positions on the conformational space represented by their potential energy landscape, and in particular positions considered as local energy minima. Conformational ... -
Confronting Hitler's Legacy: Canadian Jews and Early Holocaust Discourse, 1933-1956
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-19)This dissertation examines Canadian Jewish thought from the Nazi period through to the immediate postwar era regarding the Nazis’ persecution and murder of European Jewry. It challenges the widely accepted position that ... -
Confronting the intractable: An evaluation of the Seeds of Peace experience
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-04)This study investigated the impact of participation in the Seeds of Peace International Summer Camp program on attitudes toward perceived enemies and in-group members. Specifically, individuals’ social dominance orientation, ... -
Congestion Control for Adaptive Satellite Communication Systems with Intelligent Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)With the advent of life critical and real-time services such as remote operations over satellite, e-health etc, providing the guaranteed minimum level of services at every ground terminal of the satellite communication ... -
Congestion Control in Networks with Dynamic Flows
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-12)Congestion control in wireline networks has been studied extensively since the seminal work by Mazumdar et al in 1998. It is well known that this global optimization problem can be implemented in a distributed manner. ... -
Congestion Management in Active Distribution Networks and its Cyber Security
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-03)The evolution of the traditional power grid (TPG) to the digital smart grid is expected to improve the operation of the power system. The smart grids' capability to support various distributed generation technologies, ... -
Conical Designs and Categorical Jordan Algebraic Post-Quantum Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-06)Physical theories can be characterized in terms of their state spaces and their evolutive equations. The kinematical structure and the dynamical structure of finite dimensional quantum theory are, in light of the ... -
