C3H6/NOx Interactions Over a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst: Hydrocarbon Oxidation Reaction Pathways
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)C3H6 oxidation over a Pt/Al2O3 catalyst with or without NOx present was investigated. In particular, its reaction mechanism was studied using diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), a reactor system designed ... -
A ca. 273-261 Ma multi-component arc pluton in the southern area of the Beishan Orogenic Collage, NW China: a geochronological, geochemical, and petrogenetic analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)Along the southern edge of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt lies the Beishan Orogenic Collage, bridging the Tianshan Orogen (west) to the Mongolia-Xing’anling Orogen (east). The Beishan Orogenic Collage is thought to represent ... -
Cache Coherency for Symmetric Multiprocessor Systems on Programmable Chips
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Rapid progress in the area of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has led to the availability of softcore processors that are simple to use, and can enable the development of a fully working system in minutes. This ... -
Cache Design for a Hardware Accelerated Sparse Texture Storage System
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Hardware texture mapping is essential for real-time rendering. Unfortunately the memory bandwidth and latency often bounds performance in current graphics architectures. Bandwidth consumption can be reduced by ... -
Cache Oblivious Data Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2001)This thesis discusses cache oblivious data structures. These are structures which have good caching characteristics without knowing Z, the size of the cache, or L, the length of a cache line. Since the structures do ... -
Cache-Aware Virtual Page Management
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-22)With contemporary research focusing its attention primarily on benchmark-driven performance evaluation, studying fundamental memory characteristics has gone by the way-side. This thesis presents a systematic study of the ... -
Cache-Oblivious Searching and Sorting in Multisets
(University of Waterloo, 2004)We study three problems related to searching and sorting in multisets in the cache-oblivious model: Finding the most frequent element (the mode), duplicate elimination and finally multi-sorting. We are interested in ... -
CAD Techniques for Robust FPGA Design Under Variability
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-01)The imperfections in the semiconductor fabrication process and uncertainty in operating environment of VLSI circuits have emerged as critical challenges for the semiconductor industry. These are generally termed as process ... -

(Université Laval, 2015)Introduction to journal issue Temps zéro nº10 Introduction au dossier : Cadrages contemporains sur les paysages des littératures francophones du Canada -
Caffeinated energy drink consumption and predictors of use among secondary school students over time in the COMPASS cohort study
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Consumption of caffeinated energy drinks (CED) by youth is a public health priority, given the lack of regulation and evidence for both short and long-term health effects of CED use. Considering the potential risks associated ... -
Cage-like Proteins as Bioink Components for 3D Bioprinting
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-24)Hydrogel matrices have been used as structural surrogates in 3D bioprinting as a mechanism to provide the appropriate environment for cell adhesion and proliferation. In this research, the preparation and optimization of ... -
Cairo from Above: A Guide to Cairo’s Informal Communities & Rooftop Practices
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-16)In Greater Cairo, Egypt, informal settlements have emerged as the predominant form of urbanization, accommodating over 40% of the city’s population. Seventy-five percent of urban areas across Egypt are unplanned. For over ... -

Calcium Transport and Regulation in Male and Female Rat Kidney
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-16)Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in many biological processes, such as muscle contraction, nerve function, and bone health. However, maintaining the right balance of calcium in the body is crucial ... -
Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Glazing Systems with Shading Devices
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2008)Building energy consumption and loads are strongly influ-enced by solar gain and heat transfer through the centre-glass area of windows. Methods have been devised to calculate the corresponding energy performance indices ... -
Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Windows
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998)Building envelope performance is strongly influenced by solar gain and heat transfer through windows. The majority of this energy gain or loss passes through the center-glass area of the glazing system. Various methods ... -
Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Windows with a Diathermanous Layer
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2006)The fenestration chapter of the 2005 ASHRAE Hand-book—Fundamentals (ASHRAE 2005) has long included methods for determining the U-factor and solar heat gain coef-ficient (SHGC), or window performance indices, using the ... -
Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1999)It is not practical to measure the solar heat gain of a window frame. It is more practical to do so by calculation. Typically, the frame solar heat gain is a small component of the total or is small in absolute terms so ... -
Calculating Window Solar Heat Gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-07)Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases.
