Non-Destructive Passive Magnetic and Ultrasonic Inspection Methods for Condition Assessment of Reinforced Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-15)Sustainability, reliability, and safety of complex industrial infrastructure are crucial worldwide issues. Long-term sustainable life quality, services and economic growth provided by modern life is dependent on the quality ... -
Non-erotic thoughts and sexual functioning in a community sample: Associations with thought content, affect and attentional control
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-28)According to Barlow’s model of sexual dysfunction (1986; Sbrocco & Barlow, 1996), anxiety in sexual situations leads to attentional focus on sexual performance at the expense of erotic cues, which compromises sexual arousal. ... -
Non-Government Organization Leadership in National Healthy Public Policy for Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada: A Grounded Theory Study
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-12)Chronic non-communicable diseases are leading causes of avoidable premature disease, disability, and mortality in Canada and abroad. Non-government organizations (NGOs) play a key role in national healthy public policy ... -
The non-injective hidden shift problem
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)In this work, we mostly concentrate on the hidden shift problem for non-injective functions. It is worthwhile to know that the query complexity of the non-injective hidden shift problem is exponential in the worst case by ... -
A Non-Intersecting R-Tree
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-12)Indexes for multidimensional data based on the R-Tree are popularly used by databases for a wide range of applications. Such index trees support point and range queries but are costly to construct over datasets of millions ... -
Non-Intrusive Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-17)Pervasive computing is an important trend today. It concerns devices and services in a smart space that interact with users in a simple, natural, and harmonious way. Many problems in this domain have been studied from ... -
Non-Intrusive Program Tracing of Non-Preemptive Multitasking Systems Using Power Consumption
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-19)System tracing, runtime monitoring, execution reconstruction are useful techniques for protecting the safety and integrity of systems. Furthermore, with time-aware or overhead-aware techniques being available, these ... -
Non-Intrusive system behavior tracing using power consumption
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-13)This thesis presents a novel non-intrusive method of creating a map of black-box systems’ behavior to commands by observing the power consumption of the system. We expand our method in the form of a flexible framework which ... -
Non-Invasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Using Electromagnetic Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)Monitoring glycemia levels in people with diabetes has developed rapidly over the last decade. A broad range of easy-to-use systems of reliable accuracies are now deployed in the market following the introduction of the ... -
Non-invasive brain stimulation interventions for management of chronic central neuropathic pain: a scoping review protocol
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2017-10-16)Introduction Pain can affect people regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Chronic central neuropathic pain (CCNP) is a debilitating condition that affects populations such as stroke survivors, amputees, spinal cord injury ... -
Non-invasive brain stimulation of the primary visual cortex of healthy adults and individuals with amblyopia
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-03)Introduction: Amblyopia is a neurological condition that affects the visual cortex and causes visual deficits, typically in one eye. Recovery from amblyopia requires significant visual cortex neuroplasticity to allow for ... -
Non-invasive Glucose Monitoring using Microwave Sensor with Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-14)Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the levels of glucose are high in the blood because the body cannot produce any or enough insulin or use insulin effectively. According to the International Diabetes Federation ... -
Non-Isotopic Symplectic Surfaces in Products of Riemann Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2006)<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> Let Σ<em><sub>g</sub></em> be a closed Riemann surface of genus <em>g</em>. Generalizing Ivan Smith's construction, ... -
Non-linear Effects on Stopping of Fast Moving Molecular Ions Through Solids
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-27)This thesis studies the non-linear (Barkas) effects on stopping of fast moving molecular ions through solids. We model the solid target by a rigid lattice of positive ion cores surrounded by a gas of electrons. To model ... -
Non-linear Interactions between Internal Wave Beams: Beyond the Traditional Approximation.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-22)The problem of nonlinear interactions of internal waves is solved using small-amplitude expansions beyond the traditional approximation; that is the horizontal component of the Earth’s rotation vector is included in our ... -
Non-linear, non-monotonic effect of nano-scale roughness on particle deposition in absence of an energy barrier: Experiments and modeling
(Springer Nature, 2015-12-11)Deposition of colloidal- and nano-scale particles on surfaces is critical to numerous natural and engineered environmental, health, and industrial applications ranging from drinking water treatment to semi-conductor ... -
A non-local plasticity model of stimulated volume evolution during hydraulic fracturing
(Elsevier, 2018-10-02)Hydraulic fracturing in naturally fractured rocks often leads to the creation of a stimulated zone in which the target rock formation is deformed and fractured by the reactivation and shear dilation of natural fractures ... -
Non-local Quantum Systems with Infinite Entanglement
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-18)The study of quantum entanglement under quantum information has mostly been done in the mathematical model of tensor product of Hilbert spaces. In infinite dimensions, this model cannot capture all cases of non-local ... -
Non-Markovianity in Logical Fidelity Estimation
