Transforming theory and practice of environmental governance – A case study of Ayubia National Park, Pakistan
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-19)Parks and protected areas are long-regarded as effective measures for conservation of biodiversity. More recently, they are also recognized as a means to provide social and economic benefits and indefinite ecological and ... -
Transient Dynamics of Continuous Systems with Impact and Friction, with Applications to Musical Instruments
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-24)The objective of this work is to develop mathematical simulation models for predicting the transient behaviour of strings and beams subjected to impacts. The developed models are applied to study the dynamics of the ... -
Transient electrochemical heat transfer modeling and experimental validation of a large sized LiFePO4/graphite battery
(Elsevier, 2017-06-01)Both measurement and modeling of thermal performance in lithium-ion battery cell are considered crucial as they directly affect the safety. Even though the operation of a lithium-ion battery cell is transient phenomena in ... -
Transient episodes of mild environmental oxygenation and oxidative continental weathering during the late Archean
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2015-11-20)It is not known whether environmental O2 levels increased in a linear fashion or fluctuated dynamically between the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis and the later Great Oxidation Event. New rhenium-osmium isotope data ... -
Transient inhibition of the cerebellum impairs change-detection processes: Cerebellar contributions to sensorimotor integration.
(Elsevier, 2020-01)Patients with cerebellar lesions have shown altered responses to unpredictable stimuli. This finding has led to the belief that the cerebellum is involved in comparing incoming stimuli with previously experienced stimuli ... -
Transit Benefit Index: A Comprehensive Index for Capturing Externalities in Transit Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-30)Transportation externalities plague all members of society with delays during travel, as well as healthcare costs associated with crashes, unwanted noise, and air pollutants. While attempts have been made to correct these ... -
Transit-Induced Gentrification in Weston and Mount Dennis: A Mixed-Methods Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)As Toronto commits to increase investments in rapid transit across the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA), there is an increasing need to ensure existing residents are able to benefit from these new connections. Weston ... -
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) for Urban Sustainability: A Comparative Case Study of Beijing and Shenzhen, China
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-18)A number of urban problems pose ongoing challenges to sustainable development, which includes urban sprawl, low rates of land utilization and increases in private vehicular ownership and related traffic congestion. ... -
Transit-oriented federalism: Policy ideas and dynamics in Canada's urban transit policy regime
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Canada remains the sole G8 country lacking a national-scale policy and institutional framework for funding and planning urban transit projects and operations, largely due to a constitutional division of powers granting ... -
Transit-Oriented-micro-Development: Small Marketplaces for Maryvale, Phoenix, Arizona
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-28)Phoenix, Arizona is consistently ranked as one of America’s fastest growing cities. This growth is attributed to pervasive suburban expansion. Since the Second World War, Phoenix’s population has increased by fourteen times ... -
Transition Analysis as a Solution for Fragmentary Remains: Estimating Age-at-Death for a Skeletal Collection from Gurat, France
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-14)Transition Analysis is an age-at-death estimation method developed in 2002. While originally developed using the same skeletal features as other methods, Transition Analysis was recently expanded to include121 features ... -
Transition Galaxies: The Evolution of Environmental Quenching
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-28)We study the evolution of environmental quenching using a photometric selection of transition galaxies in GOGREEN- which encompasses clusters between 1<z<1.5 spanning a wide range in halo mass. We split the galaxies in ... -
Transition in a Laminar Separation Bubble and the Effect of Acoustic Excitation
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-26)Flow development within a laminar separation bubble and the effect of controlled acoustic excitation are investigated experimentally for a NACA 0018 airfoil at a chord Reynolds number of 125 000 and an angle of attack of ... -
Transition Matrix Monte Carlo Methods for Complex Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-15)The aim of this thesis is to develop efficient transition matrix Monte Carlo simulation methods for complex systems(e.g., spin glasses) that enable one to construct the transition matrix from which the density of states ... -
Transition Metal Carbides for Thermocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide via Reverse Water Gas Shift and Sabatier Reactions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-23)The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to synthetic fuels and chemicals is seen as a promising approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Syngas (a mixture of CO and H2) that can be obtained from CO2 via the reverse ... -
The transition to a chlorine-free economy

Transition to light-like trajectories in thin shell dynamics
(Elsevier, 2018-11)It was recently shown that a massive thin shell that is sandwiched between a flat interior and an exterior geometry given by the outgoing Vaidya metric becomes null in a finite proper time. We investigate this transition ... -
Transitional Care Experiences Across Different Health Care Settings
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-20)Background: Older adults with multiple chronic conditions typically require care from numerous specialized health care providers across various different settings, making it necessary for patients to transition between ... -
Transitional care programs: who is left behind? A systematic review
(Ubiquity Press, 2012-09-01)Objective: Older adults are at risk of rehospitalization if their care transitions from hospital-to-home are not properly managed. The objective of this review was to determine if older patient populations recruited for ... -
