Economical and Environmental Impacts of Emission Mitigation in Petroleum Refineries
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-21)Despite the large number of products produced by oil refineries, they are considered to be one of the main source of air contaminants including, sulphur oxides SOx, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides NOx and carbon oxide CO2, ... -
Economical and Environmentally Friendly Geocast Routing in Vehicular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)The volatile world economy has greatly affected fuel prices, while pollution and gas emissions are increasing to negatively impact global warming. Rising fuel costs have made drivers more concerned about how much of their ... -
Ecstatic Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-17)The chant shakes the crowd, uncorking the energy of the masquerade. This is our stomping ground. Nothing can hold us back. We display ourselves, we play ourselves. Uncontrolled bodies pelt rhythmically. Bouncing backsides, ... -
EDA Solutions for Double Patterning Lithography
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Expanding the optical lithography to 32-nm node and beyond is impossible using existing single exposure systems. As such, double patterning lithography (DPL) is the most promising option to generate the required lithography ... -
