On the Verge: Activating Public Space in the Periphery
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-19)This thesis examines the suburban verge’s latent potential as an alternative public space. It is located between the boundaries of private properties and public streets, where territorial boundaries and ownership are ... -
On Tolerant Testing and Tolerant Junta Testing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-08)Over the past few decades property testing has became an active field of study in theoretical computer science. The algorithmic task is to determine, given access to an unknown large object (e.g., function, graph, probability ... -
On Transcendence of Irrationals with Non-eventually Periodic b-adic Expansions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-18)It is known that almost all numbers are transcendental in the sense of Lebesgue measure. However there is no simple rule to separate transcendental numbers from algebraic numbers. Today research in this direction is about ... -
On Two Combinatorial Optimization Problems in Graphs: Grid Domination and Robustness
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)In this thesis, we study two problems in combinatorial optimization, the dominating set problem and the robustness problem. In the first half of the thesis, we focus on the dominating set problem in grid graphs and present ... -
On uniqueness and weak convergence of solutions for the stochastic differential equations of nonlinear filtering
(University of Waterloo, 2001) -
On Using Embeddings for Ownership Verification of Graph Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-11)Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a state-of-the-art approach to model and draw inferences from large scale graph-structured data in various application settings such as social networking. The primary goal of a ... -
On Using Storage and Genset for Mitigating Power Grid Failures
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)Although modern society is critically reliant on power grids, even modern power grids are subject to unavoidable outages due to storms, lightning strikes, and equipment failures. The situation in developing countries is ... -
On Vegh's Strongly Polynomial Algorithm for Generalized Flows
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-22)This thesis contains an exposition of the new strongly polynomial algorithm for the generalized flow problem by Laszlo Vegh (2013). It has been a long-standing open question whether such an algorithm exists, until it was ... -
On Walking
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-03)Imagine the anatomy of architecture as a complex system, where the form is the result of generative processes, the material properties of the components, and their patterns of assembly. Within this paradigm, surface is ... -
On Yonge Street
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)Yonge Street is a unique urban resource for the City of Toronto. It acts as the central nervous system uniting local, suburban and out-of-town populations with both surface and underground networks. It has transformed to ... -
On-chip cell lysis by antibacterial non-leaching reusable quaternary ammonium monolithic column
(Springer US: Biomedical Microdevices, 2015-12-16)Reusable antibacterial non-leaching monolithic columns polymerized in microfluidic channels designed for on-chip cell lysis applications were obtained by the photoinitiated free radical copolymerization of diallyldimethylammonium ... -
On-Chip Power Supply Noise: Scaling, Suppression and Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-24)Design metrics such as area, timing and power are generally considered as the primary criteria in the design of modern day circuits, however, the minimization of power supply noise, among other noise sources, is appreciably ... -
On-chip spatial image processing with CMOS active pixel sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2001) -
On-Demand Energy Harvesting Techniques - A System Level Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)In recent years, energy harvesting has been generating great interests among researchers, scientists and engineers alike. One of the major reasons for this increased interest sterns from the desire to have autonomous ... -
On-line Monitoring and Oscillatory Stability Margin Prediction in Power Systems Based on System Identification
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Poorly damped electromechanical modes detection in a power system and corresponding stability margins prediction are very important in power system planning and operation, and can provide significant help to power system ... -
On-Shell Recursion Relations in General Relativity
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-11)This thesis is a study of the validity and application of the on-shell recursion relations within the theory of General Relativity. These relations are also known as the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) relations. They ... -
On-site Sample Preparation and Introduction to Ion Mobility Spectrometry
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-22)Solid phase microextraction (SPME), needle trap device (NTD), and membrane extraction with a sorbent interface (MESI) are solvent-free sample preparation techniques that were developed to perform the rapid routine analysis ... -
