Two results on words
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)The study of combinatorial patterns of words has raised great interest since the early 20th century. In this master's thesis presentation we study two combinatorial patterns. The first pattern is “abelian k-th power free” ... -
Two successive calcium-dependent transitions mediate membrane binding and oligomerization of daptomycin and the related antibiotic A54145
(Elsevier, 2016-09)Daptomycin and A54145 are homologous lipopeptide antibiotics that permeabilize the cell membranes of Gram-positive bacteria. Membrane permeabilization depends on the presence of both phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and calcium, ... -
Two weeks of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation increases synthesis-secretion kinetics of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to 8 weeks of DHA supplementation
(Elsevier, 2018-10)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) must be consumed in the diet or synthesized from n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) precursors. However, the effect of dietary DHA on the metabolic pathway is not fully understood. ... -
Two- and Three-Dimensional Coding Schemes for Wavelet and Fractal-Wavelet Image Compression
(University of Waterloo, 2001)This thesis presents two novel coding schemes and applications to both two- and three-dimensional image compression. Image compression can be viewed as methods of functional approximation under a constraint on the amount ... -
A Two-Armed Forward Dynamic Model of a Golf Drive: A Simulation and Optimization Tool for Golf Equipment and Biomechanics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)Golf club manufacturers and golf’s governing bodies both have clear interests in understanding how equipment design changes affect the performance of a golfer. Traditionally, to capture this interaction it was necessary ... -
Two-Class M/M/1 Make-to-Stock Queueing Systems with Both Backlogs and Lost Sales
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-26)We introduce a new simple allocation policy which is a very good approximation of the optimal allocation policy in an inventory system with a single product and two priority classes of customers. A production facility ... -
Two-Color Chirped-Pulse Amplification Fiber Amplifier, for Mid-Infrared Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)The goal of this thesis is developing a two-color Ytterbium (Yb) fiber amplifier system that can be used for generation of mid-infrared radiation. Previously, our group reported generating 20 µW of average power, at a ... -
Two-Color Ultrafast Yb:Fiber Chirped Pulse Amplifier for Mid-Infrared Generation and Sensitive Mid-Infrared Detector Based on Extreme Non-Degenerate Two Photon Absorption in GaAs
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-12)This thesis outlines the development and optimization of a two-color three-stage ultrafast Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier for the generation of mid-infrared (MIR) radiation and a novel sensitive mid-infrared detector by ... -
Two-Colour Nonlinear Amplification for Mid-infrared Generation by Difference Frequency Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-16)In this thesis, I discuss the development of a two-colour laser system which uses an all-normal dispersion fiber laser in combination with a gain-managed nonlinear amplifier as its broadband source. The goal is to develop ... -
Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Cartesian Mesh Adaptation for the Compressible Euler Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Simulating transient compressible flows involving shock waves presents challenges to the CFD practitioner in terms of the mesh quality required to resolve discontinuities and prevent smearing. This document discusses ... -
A two-dimensional numerical model for glazing system thermal analysis
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)A simple two-dimensional (2-D) numerical control volume formulation is presented that can be used to model heat transfer through a vertical insulated glazing unit. This model accounts for natural convection of the fill gas ... -
A two-dimensional numerical model for natural convection in a vertical, rectangular window cavity
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1994-12-31)It is common for sealed glazing units to exhibit condensation problems when operated in cold climates. Condensation often forms along the perimeter of the exposed surface of the indoor glazing because of the thermal short ... -
Two-Dimensional Phononic Crystal Simulation and Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis presents the design of a two-dimensional phononic band gap crystal simulator, and phononic crystal analysis. <br /><br /> Phononic crystals and their application to microwave acoustic filters are studied. ... -
Two-Echelon Supply Chain Design for Spare Parts with Time Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-25)We consider a single-part, two-echelon supply chain problem for spare parts. The network consists of a single manufacturing plant, a set of service centers (SCs) and a set of customers. Both echelons keep spare parts using ... -
A Two-Phase Maintenance and Rehabilitation Framework for Pavement Assets under Performance Based Contracts
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-30)Traditional Canadian pavement construction contracts provide detailed specifications for the work that needs to be carried out. This is the case for both maintenance and rehabilitation contracts. However, for many road ... -
A two-phase model for chronic disease processes under intermittent inspection
(Wiley, 2017-06-15)A model is developed for chronic diseases with an indolent phase that is followed by a phase with more active disease resulting in progression and damage. The time scales for the intensity functions for the active phase ... -
