Brick: A Story of Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-28)Brick. A simple object, but one that has been a base unit of architecture for over 6000 years. It carries connotations of labour, of energy, of the fundamental desire of humanity to give form to the substance of the Earth. ... -
Bridge Management System with Integrated Life Cycle Cost Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-15)In recent years, infrastructure renewal has been a focus of attention in North America and around the world. Municipal and federal authorities are increasingly recognizing the need for life cycle cost analysis of infrastructure ... -
Bridging Private and Shared Interaction Surfaces in Collocated Groupware
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-24)Multi-display environments (such as the pairing of a digital tabletop computer with a set of handheld tablet computers) can support collocated interaction in groups by providing individuals with private workspaces that can ... -
Bright and efficient blue polymer light emitting diodes with reduced operating voltages processed entirely at low-temperature
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-09-03)Hybrid blue polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) with high efficiencies, luminance >20 000 cd m−2 and low operating voltages are obtained using processing temperatures ≤150 °C. By briefly applying an electric field across ... -
Broadband Antireflection Coverglass for CubeSats
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)A CubeSat is a type of miniaturized and modular satellite designed for space research or technology demonstration. By filling the unused capacity of major launch vehicles, CubeSats significantly lower the cost of entry to ... -
Broadband Doherty Power Amplifier using Symmetrical GaN Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-05)The wireless industry has seen a tremendous growth in its users over the last decade. This has led the industry to adapt a number of new standards allowing for better use of the scarce and often very fragmented frequency ... -
Broadband Doherty Power Amplifiers with Enhanced Linearity for Emerging Radio Transmitters
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)The ever-increasing demand for utilizing wireless spectra has led to development of spectrally efficient radio systems. While these systems offer much higher data throughput, they employ more sophisticated modulation ... -
Broadband Linearity-Enhanced Doherty Power Amplifier Design Techniques for 5G Sub-6 GHz Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)The recently deployed fifth generation (5G) cellular networks represent a significant technological advancement over fourth generation (4G) networks. Specifically, new 5G frequency bands were allocated at sub-6 GHz and ... -
Bubble Migration in Pore Networks of Uniform Geometry
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)The behavior of bubbles migrating in porous media is a critical factor in several soil remediation operations such as in situ air sparging, supersaturated water injection, bioslurping, trench aeration and up-flow operation ... -
Build, Rent and Sell: Options for Commercializing New Technologies Arising from University Research
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This research investigates the strategic governance choices made in commercializing new technologies arising from university research. <br /><br /> Departing from the traditional licensing vs. start-up approach, it ... -
Building a Parc de la langue française / Retracing my steps as a designer
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-26)In 1979, Québec artist Rober Racine wrote a 190-word text that would describe his idea for Le Parc de la langue française, a landscape where one could literally meander through the French language. Although some partial ... -
Building Big: Spanning Urban Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)This thesis addresses the issue of urban fracture caused by transport infrastructure, through the design of a tenable, multi-program building with robust structural spans, as well as opportunities for the transient ... -
Building Bridges between Pharmacists and Physicians: An Exploratory Investigation via Field, Usability Studies & Control Task Analysis To Enhance Pharmacy Management System Requirements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-25)Miscommunication between healthcare professionals can impact patient care and is costly. The information systems used in pharmacies and hospitals can contribute to this miscommunication. The present research is an initial ... -
Building Collaboration, Building Community: A Home for Northern Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-23)Building Collaboration, Building Community: A Home for Northern Learning explores the potential for architecture to support learning endeavors in the Canadian North. Informed by traditional approaches to northern learning ... -
Building Fiction: The Architecture of Narrative in Harry Potter
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-29)A person does not experience architecture as a purely physical construct. Lived space transcends mere materiality, as each individual experiences the world outside oneself through the unique filter of one’s own mind. In ... -
Building in Puma
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-18)It is proven that sustainable development only occurs when ideas and resources are locally adapted; however, many conventional development approaches ignore local voices and treat them merely as passive consumers. Today, ... -
