The micro-damage process zone during transverse cortical bone fracture: No ears at crack growth initiation
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)Apply high-resolution benchtop micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to gain greater understanding and knowledge of the formation of the micro-damage process zone formed during traverse fracture of cortical bone. Bovine ... -
Microbiome engineering to improve biocontrol and plant growth-promoting mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2018-03-01)A plant microbiome includes a microbial community that typically interacts extensively with a plant. The plant microbiome can survive either inside or outside of plant tissues, performing various plant beneficial activities ... -
A microfluidic chip integrated with droplet generation, pairing, trapping, merging, mixing and releasing
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017-03-16)Developing a microfluidic chip with multiple functions is highly demanded for practical applications, such as chemical analysis, diagnostics, particles synthesis and drug screening. This work demonstrates a microfluidic ... -
Microfluidic droplet trapping, splitting and merging with feedback controls and state space modelling
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-07-16)We combine image processing and feedback controls to regulate droplet movements. A general modelling approach is provided to describe droplet motion in a pressure-driven microfluidic channel network. A state space model ... -
Micromechanical Modelling of Edge Failure in 800 MPa Advanced High Strength Steels
(2018-04-26)Sheared edge failure is one of the major problems associated with the forming of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) such as dual-phase (DP) steels. To improve the performance of AHSS in industrial forming operations, ... -
Microparticle suspensions and bacteria laden droplets: Are they the same in terms of wetting signature?
(ACS, 2021-01-17)Adhesion behavior of microbial pathogens on commonly encountered surfaces is one of the most pertinent questions now. We present the characterization of bacteria laden droplets and quantify the adhesion forces on highly ... -
Microplastics pollution: what can we learn from stormwater pond sediments?
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-14)In urban watersheds, stormwater runoff is a major carrier of microplastics to downstream water bodies, which are collected in stormwater ponds (SWPs). As expected, recent studies have reported high microplastics retention ... -
Microplastics Research Data: Evaluating the Current State of Findability and Accessibility and Recommendations for Improving Data Sharing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-16)With concerns about microplastic pollution increasing, actionable research is needed to inform funding priorities, environmental policy, and mitigation strategies. It is therefore crucial that the corresponding research ... -
Microstructure, texture and mechanical behavior characterization of hot forged cast ZK60 magnesium alloy
(Elsevier, 2017-04-14)Uniaxial tension and compression tests were conducted to investigate the quasi-static performance of ZK60 Mg alloy in cast, followed by forging at optimum temperature of 450°C and a ram speed of 39mmmin-1. Microstructure ... -
Microswimmer Propulsion by Two Steadily Rotating Helical Flagella
(MDPI, 2019-01-01)Many theoretical studies of bacterial locomotion adopt a simple model for the organism consisting of a spheroidal cell body and a single corkscrew-shaped flagellum that rotates to propel the body forward. Motivated by ... -
Microwave temperature measurement in microfluidic devices
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-05-10)In spite of various existing thermometry methods for microfluidic applications, it remains challenging to measure the temperature of individual droplets in segmented flow since fast moving droplets do not allow sufficient ... -
Migrating Archival Descriptive Records to AtoM: The Good, the Bad and the Yikes
(Archives Association of Ontario, 2020-10)Special Collections & Archives at the University of Waterloo Library began migrating from a series of internal descriptive databases to a public facing instance of AtoM in 2016. This article provides an overview of the ... -
Minimal induced subgraphs of the class of 2-connected non-Hamiltonian wheel-free graphs
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2022-12-29)Given a graph G and a graph property P we say that G is minimal with respect to P if no proper induced subgraph of G has the property P. An HC-obstruction is a minimal 2-connected non-Hamiltonian graph. Given a graph H, a ... -
Minimal induced subgraphs of two classes of 2-connected non-Hamiltonian graphs
(Elsevier, 2022-07)In 1981, Duffus, Gould, and Jacobson showed that every connected graph either has a Hamiltonian path, or contains a claw (K1,3) or a net (a fixed six-vertex graph) as an induced subgraph. This implies that subject to being ... -
Mining the ‘Internet Graveyard’: Rethinking the Historians’ Toolkit
(Journal of the Canadian Historical Association / Revue de la Société historique du Canada, 2013-05-01)“Mining the Internet Graveyard” argues that the advent of massive quantity of born-digital historical sources necessitates a rethinking of the historians’ toolkit. The contours of a third wave of computational history are ... -
Missed connections: looking for everything in the archives
(Active History, 2017-06-26)Archivists are commonly asked by researchers to produce everything available about a particular topic. While understandable from a researcher standpoint, fulfilling the request is a challenge. Unlike library holdings, ... -
Mitigating bias from intermittent measurement of time-dependent covariates in failure time analysis
(Wiley, 2020-06-15)Cox regression models are routinely fitted to examine the association between time-dependent markers and a failure time when analyzing data from clinical registries. Typically, the marker values are measured periodically ... -
Mitigation of Cyber-Physical Attacks in Multi-Area Automatic Generation Control
