      Das, Sambeeta; Shklyaev, Oleg E.; Altemose, Alicia; Shum, Henry; Ortiz-Rivera, Isamar; Valdez, Lyanne; Mallouk, Thomas E.; Balazs, Anna C.; Sen, Ayusman (Springer Nature, 2017-02-17)
      The directed transport of microparticles in microfluidic devices is vital for efficient bioassays and fabrication of complex microstructures. There remains, however, a need for methods to propel and steer microscopic cargo ...
    • Harnessing surface-bound enzymatic reactions to organize microcapsules in solution 

      Shklyaev, Oleg E.; Shum, Henry; Sen, Ayusman; Balazs, Anna C. (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2016-03)
      By developing new computational models, we examine how enzymatic reactions on an underlying surface can be harnessed to direct the motion and organization of reagent-laden microcapsules in a fluid-filled microchannel. In ...
    • Hedging Contingent Claims in Markets with Jumps 

      Kennedy, J. Shannon (University of Waterloo, 2007-09-25)
      Contrary to the Black-Scholes paradigm, an option-pricing model which incorporates the possibility of jumps more accurately reflects the evolution of stocks in the real world. However, hedging a contingent claim in ...
    • High resolution simulations of mode-2 internal waves: transport, shoaling, and the influence of rotation 

      Deepwell, David (University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)
      Internal waves are a universal feature in stratified flows. Of particular interest are Internal Solitary and Solitary-like Waves (ISWs) which may persist for long periods of time and travel great distances. In the ocean, ...
    • High-Order Finite-Volume Schemes for Magnetohydrodynamics 

      Susanto, Andree (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-01)
      New high-order finite-volume numerical schemes for the magnetohydrodynamics equations are proposed in two and three dimensions. Two different sets of magnetohydrodynamics equations are considered. The first set is the ideal ...
    • High-Order Numerical Methods in Lake Modelling 

      Steinmoeller, Derek (University of Waterloo, 2014-06-18)
      The physical processes in lakes remain only partially understood despite successful data collection from a variety of sources spanning several decades. Although numerical models are already frequently employed to simulate ...
    • High-Resolution Analysis of Snow Albedo Interactions in the Arctic 

      Hogg, Daniel (University of Waterloo, 2022-08-23)
      The Snow Albedo Feedback (SAF) is an important contributor to Arctic warming, however models disagree significantly on the strength of this effect. Previous work has investigated the influence of vegetation on surface ...
    • High-Resolution Numerical Simulations of Wind-Driven Gyres 

      Ko, William (University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)
      The dynamics of the world's oceans occur at a vast range of length scales. Although there are theories that aid in understanding the dynamics at planetary scales and microscales, the motions in between are still not yet ...
    • Higher Gauge Theory and Discrete Geometry 

      Tsimiklis, Panagiotis (University of Waterloo, 2023-06-05)
      In four dimensions, gravity can be seen as a constrained topological model. This provides a natural way to construct quantum gravity models, since topological models are relatively straightforward to quantize. Difficulty ...
    • Hilbert space operators with compatible off-diagonal corners 

      Livshits, Leo; MacDonald, Gordon; Marcoux, Laurent W.; Radjavi, Heydar (Elsevier, 2018-08-15)
