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 ... -
The Conjugate Addition of Novel Nucleophiles and Catalytic Intramolecular Tandem [1,5]-Hydride Shift / Cyclization and Friedel-Crafts Acylation with Alkylidene Meldrum’s Acid Derivatives
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Investigations into the conjugate addition of phenols and sp3-hybridized carbons bound to tin, boron and silicon by transition metal catalysts through novel transmetallation pathways were undertaken with limited success. ... -
