The effect of positively autocorrelated thermal variance on the reproduction and individual growth of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-18)The effect of uncorrelated and positively autocorrelated temperature variance on the offspring production and individual development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was examined at two different temperature means: ... -
New Approaches to the Collection and Interpretation of High Sensitivity Temperature Logs for Detection of Groundwater Flow in Fractured Rock
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-20)The use of temperature logging for identifying water flow through fractures in sedimentary rock has declined since the 1960’s and 70’s primarily because of low sensor resolution and cross-connected flow along the borehole. ... -
A New Crystal Plasticity Formulation to Simulate Large-Strain Plasticity of Polycrystalline Metals at Elevated Temperatures
(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-13)This dissertation explores the plasticity polycrystalline metals, with particular attention paid to aluminum and its alloys. Specifically aluminum Al-Mg sheet alloys, which are currently replacing steel parts for panel ... -
Real Time Tracking System and Data Reduction
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)Today, for various purposes, vehicle tracking systems are used for determining the geographic location of vehicles and transmitting this information to a data center. For detecting the location, a GPS is used, and for the ... -
Real Time Vehicle Tracking System and Energy Reduction
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)Technology has been growing rapidly and various fields of technology can be combined to advance societies. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of these technologies that combines and connects a variety of things to come ... -
Reconstruction of Paleoclimate Time-Series in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Northern Alberta, from Stable Isotopes in Tree-Rings
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-12)The isotopic labelling of carbon in tree-rings varies as a function of growth season temperature and relative humidity. The isotopic labelling of oxygen in tree-rings varies as a function of source-water isotopic composition ... -
Surface Tension and Adsorption Kinetics of Volatile Organic Amphiphiles in Aqueous Solution
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-11)Amphiphiles that possess a dual character, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, are employed in many chemical, pharmaceutical and biological applications. Amphiphile molecules that include a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail ... -
Temperature Effects in Optical Fiber Dispersion Compensation Modules
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-05)This thesis presents the results for the temperature variation of the Differential Group Delay (DGD) measurements of a Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM) and interprets the results with a theoretical DGD model based on ... -
Temperature Mould Maintenance during Automatic Welding
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-19)An automatic system to weld multiple layers using Tungsten Arc (TIG) welding was in the process of being developed by Tool-Tec Welding Inc, prior to the company’s recent bankruptcy and subsequent closure. One of the project’s ...
