Techno-Economic Study of CO<sub>2</sub> Capture Process for Cement Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Carbon dioxide is considered to be the major source of GHG responsible for global warming; man-made CO<sub>2</sub> contributes approximately 63. 5% to all greenhouse gases. The cement industry is responsible for ... -
Techno-Economic Study of Renewable Energy Integration in the Upstream Oil Supply Chain (USOSC)
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-21)The production of oil requires tremendous amounts of energy consumption through a distributed combustion network of processes along the oil supply chain spectrum. The consequences of fossil-based fuel combustion processes ... -
Technology and Strategic Management Decision-Making as a Constrained Shortest Path Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-22)A constrained shortest path algorithm is developed and implemented in Matlab to optimize the management decision-making process, which is a potential tool for managers. An empirical analysis is performed using Statistics ... -
Technology-Scanning Capability and Market-Scanning Capability as Drivers of Product Innovation Performance
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)Changing trends in customer preference, competitors’ offerings, new technologies and development techniques may disrupt a firm from its current leading market position and may favor other firms that prioritize innovation. ... -
Teleportation: The Possible Leap
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)This thesis tells a story, inviting its audience into a parallel world, existing somewhere in my imagination, where human teleportation becomes real and gradually becomes the most prevalent method of transportation. ... -
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 ... -
Temperature-resistant hydrogel wearable sensors and thermoelectric devices
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-25)With the rapid advancements in biosensing and healthcare technology, traditional polymer and semiconductor sensors and electronic devices are increasingly unable to meet people's needs. As researchers delve deeper into ... -
Tempest Redux
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-20)I could write about what making a movie has to do with architecture, a question that has been posed to me countless times by family and friends who live happily outside of the architecture bubble. It’s a question that I ... -
The Temple Of Afrobeat(s): Re-Imagination of The New Afrika Shrine
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-14)Fela Kuti is very influential to the development of Nigerian music, as he is credited for the founding of Afrobeat, which in turn led to the establishment of Afrobeats, a collection of musical sub-genres of Nigerian and ... -
Temporal and spatial hydrodynamic variability in a gravel-bed river:measurement, characterisation, and significance for spawning salmonids
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-15)The spatial and temporal flow field characteristics of a gravel-bed river supporting a robust rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) fishery were studied in high resolution in attempts to ... -
Temporal Disaggregation of Daily Precipitation Data in a Changing Climate
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Models for spatially interpolating hourly precipitation data and temporally disaggregating daily precipitation to hourly data are developed for application to multisite scenarios at the watershed scale. The intent is ... -
Temporal Segmentation of Human Motion for Rehabilitation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-27)Current physiotherapy practice relies on visual observation of patient movement for assessment and diagnosis. Automation of motion monitoring has the potential to improve accuracy and reliability, and provide additional ... -
Temporospatial Context-Aware Vehicular Crash Risk Prediction
