Generation and Characterization of Dual-Fluorescent Influenza Virus-like Particles (VLPs) in Insect Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-04)The Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) has been widely used to produce recombinant proteins, especially for complex biopharmaceuticals. In recent years, the insect-baculovirus system has proved its value as a ... -
Generation Capacity Expansion Planning in Deregulated Electricity Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)With increasing demand of electric power in the context of deregulated electricity markets, a good strategic planning for the growth of the power system is critical for our tomorrow. There is a need to build new resources ... -
Generation Scheduling in Microgrids under Uncertainties in Power Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Recently, the concept of Microgrids (MG) has been introduced in the distribution network. Microgrids are defined as small power systems that consist of various distributed micro generators that are capable of supplying a ... -
Generative Adversarial Networks for ECG generation, translation, imputation and denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used in medical applications. One challenge present in AI in medicine is not having high quality datasets available for training machine learning models. In this work, I explore ... -
Generative Thermal Design Through Boundary Representation and Deep Reinforcement Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-08)Advancement in Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows fabrication of complex geometries. This provides the opportunity to think beyond hand-designed topologies. The main goal of this dissertation is to build a Generative Design ... -
The Generic Spectacle
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-13)The completion of the CityCenter resort on the Las Vegas Strip in 2009 by MGM Resorts marks the single largest privately funded development in American history. It also marks a departure from all-encompassing themes of ... -
Geographies of Urban Filth
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)This thesis studies how our cultural understanding of dirt and cleanliness are bound to issues of class and race and how they are manifested within urban and spatial design. Boundaries are formed between clean and dirty, ... -
Geologic Control: Studies on the Colonial Afterlife of Limestone in Montreal, Quebec Through Artifact
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-01)This research traces colonial legacies and settler imaginaries of the present across the urban environment of Montreal, Quebec through a single geologic material: limestone. French settlers extracted limestone upon arrival ... -
Geomechanics of Fluid Injection in Geological Reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-27)Numerous petroleum engineering, mining, and enhanced geothermal energy operations involve cyclic injection of fluids into geological formations. Geomechanics of injection operations in weakly consolidated or unconsolidated ... -
Geomechanics-Reservoir Modeling by Displacement Discontinuity-Finite Element Method
(University of Waterloo, 2008-07-29)There are two big challenges which restrict the extensive application of fully coupled geomechanics-reservoir modeling. The first challenge is computational effort. Consider a 3-D simulation combining pressure and heat ... -
