Current Research on Gaseous Ammonia Detecting and Capture Technologies
(Elsevier, 2023)Ammonia is currently widely used for fertilizers, and it continues to grow as a potential green fuel source or hydrogen carrier which may result in growing ammonia emissions. Increasing anthropogenic ammonia emissions ... -
The Current State of Green Building Standards and Interior Materials; Are These Processes Leading to Stronger Selections of Sustainable Materials?
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)The environmental impacts of buildings include energy and land use, greenhouse gas emissions, natural resource depletion, and solid waste. And while a building‘s envelope and operational energy use are often considered the ... -
Customer Service
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-29)Customer Service is a half-hour storytelling performance that uses PowerPoint and drawing to discuss my experience working at a call centre in Moncton, New Brunswick. The performance uses this autofictional narrative to ... -
Customizable Machine-Learning Models for Rapid Microplastic Identification Using Raman Microscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2022-11-29)Raman spectroscopy is commonly used in microplastics identification, but equipment variations yield inconsistent data structures that disrupt the development of communal analytical tools. We report a strategy to overcome ... -
Customized nonlinearity shaping in imperfect or variable waveguides
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-31)Generation of high-quality single photons via heralded parametric downconversion re- quires careful design of spectral correlations in down-converted photon pairs. One step in this design process involves customized ... -
Customizing kernels in Support Vector Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Support Vector Machines have been used to do classification and regression analysis. One important part of SVMs are the kernels. Although there are several widely used kernel functions, a carefully designed kernel will ... -
Cutting Mechanics of the Gear Shaping Process
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-12)In the machining industry, there is a constant need to increase productivity while also maintaining dimensional tolerances and good surface quality. For many classical machining operations (e.g. milling, turning, and ... -
Cutting-Plane Separation Strategies for Semidefinite Programming Models to Solve Single-Row Facility Layout Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-27)The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) is concerned with finding the optimal linear placement of n departments with different lengths in a straight line. It is typically achieved by minimizing the cost associated ... -
Cyber-Physical Resilience Enhancement Strategies for Modern Power Grids
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-28)Continuous research efforts are dedicated to developing methods to improve existing security tools to better fit the nature of smart grids. However, there is no perfect security scheme for every potential attack threat. ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Power Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-07)Smart grids have been witnessing continuous and rapid radical developments in the recent years. With the aim towards a more sustainable energy system, the share of distributed generation resources is ever-increasing and ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Wide-Area Frequency-based Applications in Power Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-02)Modern power systems are continuously developing into large and interconnected ones. However, at the same time, restructuring within the power industry and reduced investment in transmission system expansions mean that ... -
