      This Ph.D. dissertation presents the study and development of optoelectronic properties of 3-D hybrid zinc oxide nanowire (ZnO NW) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) core-shell structures and a demonstration of ...
    • An Optokinetic Nystagmus Detection Method for Use With Young Children 

      Sangi, Mehrdad; Thompson, Benjamin; Turuwhenua, Jason (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-03-05)
      The detection of vision problems in early childhood can prevent neurodevelopmental disorders such as amblyopia. However, accurate clinical assessment of visual function in young children is challenging. optokinetic nystagmus ...
    • The Optometric Management of Concussion 

      Yeboah, Anne Marie (University of Waterloo, 2022-01-31)
      Traumatic brain injury is a major public health problem that affects millions of people annually and hundreds of people experience brain injury daily. Many of these individuals develop visual symptoms. Optometrists play a ...

      Warren, Adrianna (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-31)
      Introduction: Inuit, Métis, and First Nations, the three main Indigenous groups within Canada, face disproportionate barriers to access for primary eye and vision care. Optometrists visit rural and remote Indigenous ...
    • ORCID education: a departmental approach 

      Droog, Alissa; Bredahl, Laura (Emerald, 2021-03-22)
      Purpose This paper aims to provide a case study of an ORCID promotion at the University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science, providing context for the importance of education in ORCID outreach. Design/ ...

    • Ordered Interval Routing Schemes 

      Ahmed, Mustaq (University of Waterloo, 2004)
      An <i>Interval Routing Scheme (IRS)</i> represents the routing tables in a network in a space-efficient way by labeling each vertex with an unique integer address and the outgoing edges at each vertex with disjoint ...

    • Ordering and Reverse Ordering Mechanisms of Triblock Copolymers in the Presence of Solvent 

      Thompson, Russell B.; Rasmussen, Kim; Maniadis, Panagiotis; Kober, Edward M. (MDPI, 2009-02-27)
      Self-consistent field theory is used to study the self-assembly of a triblock copolymer melt. Two different external factors (temperature and solvent) are shown to affect the self-assembly. Either one or two-step self-assembly ...
