A study of reactive flow of polypropylene in single- and twin-screw extruders
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
Study of realistic devices for quantum key-distribution
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-03)Quantum key-distribution (QKD) is a scheme for establishing shared secret key between remote parties. In such a scheme, quantum preparation and measurement devices (sources and detectors) are used. In existing theoretical ... -
A Study of Saccade Dynamics and Adaptation in Athletes and Non Athletes
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Purpose: The aim of the study was to delineate differences in saccade characteristics between a population of athletes and non athletes. Aspects specifically investigated were latency, accuracy, peak velocity, and gain ... -
A Study of Scrap Rubber Devulcanization and Incorporation of Devulcanized Rubber into Virgin Rubber Compound
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-10)In this era of rapid development and economic growth, waste management is of high concern for humans. According to statistics, a great amount of rubber waste materials are produced annually. The major amount of these waste ... -
A Study of Segmentation and Normalization for Iris Recognition Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Iris recognition systems capture an image from an individual's eye. The iris in the image is then segmented and normalized for feature extraction process. The performance of iris recognition systems highly depends on ... -
STUDY OF SHORT CHAIN DEHYDROGENASE / REDUCTASES (SDRs) IN SINORHIZOBIUM MELILOTI
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-27)Sinorhizobium meliloti maintains a complex lifestyle, including saprotrophy, rhizophere colonization and root hair infection leading to the formation of root nodules in which the plant provides sustenance in return for ... -
Study of Singular Capillary Surfaces and Development of the Cluster Newton Method
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)In this thesis, we explore two important aspects of study of differential equations: analytical and computational aspects. We first consider a partial differential equation model for a static liquid surface (capillary ... -
A Study of Stress Grading System of Medium Voltage Motor Fed by Adjustable Speed Drives
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-25)The demand for medium voltage (MV) induction motors with an adjustable speed drive (ASD) has grown significantly over the past decade for many industrial applications. This is mainly because the applications of adjustable ... -
Study of Supercritical CO2 Displacing Water at the Pore Scale and Its Relevance at the Core Scale and Beyond
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-14)The advent of carbon sequestration and rapidly decreasing cost of computing creates opportunities in reservoir characterization for carbon storage. Reservoir description has been based on conventional seismic and well-log ... -
Study of Surface Quantum Wells in InSb/AlInSb Heterostructures
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)The strong spin orbit coupling and large Lande g-factor of InSb compared to the other III-V semiconductors makes InSb an ideal choice for potential use in topological quantum computing with Majorana fermions. Furthermore, ... -
Study of the Anaerobic Methane Oxidation Coupled to Nitrate Denitrification
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-08)Methane can be a potentially inexpensive, widely available electron donor for biological denitrification of wastewater, landfill leachate or drinking water, while no studies have clearly shown nitrate reduction to nitrogen ... -
A Study of the Automatic Speech Recognition Process and Speaker Adaptation
(University of Waterloo, 2000)This thesis considers the entire automated speech recognition process and presents a standardised approach to LVCSR experimentation with HMMs. It also discusses various approaches to speaker adaptation such as MLLR and ... -

A Study of the Axial Crush Response of Hydroformed Aluminum Alloy Tubes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-03)There exists considerable motivation to reduce vehicle weight through the adoption of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, while maintaining energy absorption and component integrity under crash conditions. To ... -
A Study of the Capabilities of Message-Oriented Middleware Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-27)We present a comprehensive characterization study of open-source Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) systems. We devised a rigorous methodology to select and study 10 popular and diverse MOM systems. For each system, we ... -
A Study of the Detection of Defects in Ceramic Insulators Based on Radio Frequency Signatures.
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-18)The presence of defects in outdoor insulators ultimately results in the initiation of partial discharge (PD) activity. Because insulation failure and the consequent breakdown of power equipment can occur due to the cumulative ... -
A Study of the Discursive Aspect of Scientific Theorizing and Modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-26)My dissertation contributes to the study of scientific theories and models by using a speech-act-theoretic framework to investigate the discursive aspect of theorizing and modeling practices. In the philosophical study of ... -
Study of the dynamic interactions between vergence and accommodation
(University of Waterloo, 2005)<em>Introduction:</em> Accommodation (change in ocular focus) and Vergence (change in ocular alignment) are two ocular motor systems that interact with each other to provide clear single binocular vision. While retinal ... -
Study of the effect of lateral inhomogeneities on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an elastic medium
