Adaptive techniques to predict the N2O emission in a corn field under different fertilizer management practices and external factors.

Global warming is one of the largest environmental issues these days and the increasing greenhouse gases(GHGs) emission such as CO2, CH4 and N2O is the leading reason for global warming. The main sources of CH4 emission are rice cultivating systems and cattle rearing, meanwhile, N2O mainly come from the application of fertilizers. Many factors in […]

Laura Secord Campus Commons Material Deconstruction and Reuse

Willowbank Centre for Cultural Landscape will work with a University of Waterloo student to engage in an emerging process of building disassembly and material reuse. Demolishing a building and sending the debris to landfill sites is a huge loss of resources, energy, and historical value. This project becomes a prototype on how to reuse building […]

Low-Cost Sensor System for Remote COVID-19 Patient Monitoring

The rapidly increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients and long hospitalization periods place great strain on the current healthcare system in Canada. While some patients need hospitalization, most do not. To monitor those at home, accurate data is vital. There are several reasons that prevent continuous monitoring of the five physiological parameters (e.g., skin temperature, oxygen […]

Process study, simulation and optimization of direct conversion of biomass to ethyl evulinate

Increasing concerns about global warming related to greenhouse emission, and depletion of fossil fuel resources, bring biomass as a promising environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to supply chemicals and fuels. One attractive option is the conversion of biomass obtained from recycling activities to high-value chemicals. In this context, direct biomass conversion to ethyl levulinate (EL) […]
