Transport and Targeted Binding of Polymer-Coated Nanoparticles in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)The effectiveness of most in situ remedial technologies lies on successful delivery of reagents to a target treatment zone. Advances in nanoparticle (NP) materials has led to the targeted delivery concept in which the NP ... -
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) over Optical Burst Switched Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-13)Transport Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant protocol in modern communication networks, in which the issues of reliability, flow, and congestion control must be handled efficiently. This thesis studies the impact of ... -
“Transport Me Away”: Fostering Flow in Open Offices through Virtual Reality
(ACM, 2020-04-21)Open offices are cost-effective and continue to be popular. However, research shows that these environments, brimming with distractions and sensory overload, frequently hamper productivity. Our research investigates the ... -
Transport of chloride and deuterated water in peat: The role of anion exclusion, diffusion, and anion adsorption in a dual porosity organic media
(Elsevier, 2019-08)The dual-porosity structure of peat and the extremely high organic matter content give rise to a complex medium that typically generates prolonged tailing and early 50% concentration breakthrough in the breakthrough curves ... -
Transport packaging waste management in E-commerce industry: Opportunities and risks
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-12)Free and easy returns cause more packaging waste in online purchases. With a growing number of waste import bans in Asian countries, waste exports are now a less viable option. The high quality and low market value of ... -
Transport Phenomena in Cathode Catalyst Layer of PEM Fuel Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-25)Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have increasingly become promising green energy sources for automobile and stationary cogeneration applications but its success in commercialization depends on performance ... -
Transport Properties of the Gas Diffusion Layer of PEM Fuel Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-30)Non-woven carbon paper is a porous material composed of carbon composite and is the preferred material for use as the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. This material is both ... -
A Transport-Economic Analysis Framework for Border Crossing Infrastructure Investment Policies
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-30)Border crossings serve two critical purposes: ensuring the safety and security of a nation; and facilitating trade and movement of people between countries. Inefficient border crossings resulting from insufficient ... -
Transposition of Joy in C.S. Lewis

Transtextual Narratives about the European Union. A qualitative research on structuring, sense-making constructions of reality from a linguistic perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-28)Narratives are never finished products, but constantly evolving linguistic constructs. Actors use them to position themselves and develop the narratives further in the process. In this respect, narratives are to be understood ... -
Transversal Problems In Sparse Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-20)Graph transversals are a classical branch of graph algorithms. In such a problem, one seeks a minimum-weight subset of nodes in a node-weighted graph $G$ which intersects all copies of subgraphs~$F$ from a fixed family ... -
Transverse Feedback Linearization with Partial Information for Single-Input Systems
(SIAM, 2014-09-25)This paper is motivated by the problem of asymptotically stabilizing invariant sets in the state space of control systems by means of output feedback. The sets considered are smooth embedded in submanifolds and the class ... -
Trapping of Ba+ using an Autoionizing Resonance and Construction of an Academic Ba+ Testbed
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-21)Trapped ions are at the forefront of the quantum information processing field. This platform has demonstrated some of the highest native gate fidelities, in addition to offering fully connected qubits with incredibly long ... -
Traps and Transformations of Grenadian Water Management
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-25)The adaptive cycle metaphor provides insight into how and why social-ecological systems change. Literature on 'resilience thinking' has built upon this foundation and further developed the concepts of resilience, adaptation, ... -
