Partial Joint Penetration Welds in Aluminum Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-29)Aluminum structures are becoming more and more common in Canada and the world as engineers and decision-makers become more aware of the possibility to lower life cycle costs. Aluminum's corrosion resistance, light weight ... -
Participant-Specific Modelling of the Proximal Femur during Lateral Falls: A Mechanistic Evaluation of Risk Factors
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-10)Falls among older adults are a common occurrence with the potential to result in substantial injury. Hip fractures are among the most frequent and devastating fall induced injuries, resulting in increased morbidity and ... -
Participatory Approaches to Re-Imagining Women’s Social Inclusion as Social Justice: Experiences of Community after Federal Incarceration in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)Women who have been incarcerated are disadvantaged in many respects as they enter community (Pedlar, Arai, Yuen, & Fortune, 2008). When putting their lives back together upon release they typically face tremendous hardships ... -
Participatory Augmented and Virtual Reality: A comparative case study recognising its viability in citizen participation
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-25)With technology’s growth in recent years, governments have begun adopting new methods of citizen participation into decision-making. New technologies require a deep analysis of their implementation, to understand and ... -
Participatory Budgeting in the City of Kitchener: Influencing Perceptions of Park Access, Park Use and Citizen Engagement
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-04)There is consensus among urban researchers that access to public parks and participation in the planning process are important aspects of urban life. Public parks provide mental and physical health benefits to individuals, ... -
Participatory Democracy in Brazil: Foundations, Developments, and Limits
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-15)A lack of historical perspective sustained the widespread view that participatory initiatives in Brazil represented a marked rupture from traditional forms of political engagement to radically new democratic practices. ... -
The participatory design of an ecosystem approach to monitoring in support of sense-making: What's the Point?
(University of Waterloo, 1999)Environmental monitoring initiatives are typically conceived as strictly scientific affairs designed to provide support for managerial decision-making; as a consequence most initiatives are centered on a formal mandate or ... -
Particle Clustering and Sub-clustering as a Proxy for Mixing in Geophysical Flows
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-16)The Eulerian point of view is the traditional theoretical and numerical tool to describe fluid mechanics. Some modern computational fluid dynamics codes allow for the efficient simulation of particles, in turn facilitating ... -
A Particle Filter Method of Inference for Stochastic Differential Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-31)Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) serve as an extremely useful modelling tool in areas including ecology, finance, population dynamics, and physics. Yet, parameter inference for SDEs is notoriously difficult due ... -
Partition Algebras and Kronecker Coefficients
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-28)Classical Schur-Weyl duality relates the representation theory of the general linear group to the representation theory of the symmetric group via their commuting actions on tensor space. With the goal of studying Kronecker ... -
Partitioning Pauli Operators: in Theory and in Practice
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-04)Measuring the expectation value of Pauli operators on prepared quantum states is a fundamental task in the variational quantum eigensolver. Simultaneously measuring sets of operators allows for fewer measurements and an ... -
Partnership Evaluation Practices in Public-Nonprofit Community Sport Relationships: Understanding Resource Dependency
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Interorganizational relationships (IORs) can offer community sport organizations (CSOs) a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address the complex issues in their environment (Misener & Doherty, 2014). IORs offer each ... -
Partnership principles and the stewardship potential of employer supported volunteer programs
