Performing Short-Term Travel Time Prediction on Arterials
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-23)As urban centers become larger and more densely developed, their roadway networks tend to experience more severe congestion for longer periods of the day and increasingly unreliable travel times. Proactive traffic management ... -
Performing the Forbidden Public Space: the Case of the New Clock Tower Square in Homs, Syria
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)Public spaces in Syria have been controlled and militarized for a long time, even before the revolution of 2011. In the city of Homs, however, during the revolution's early days, thousands of people poured into the New ... -
Periodic Adaptive Control for First-Order Discrete-Time Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-24)In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time- varying parameters. An adaptive controller typically consists of an LTI compensator together with an identifier or a tuner which is used ... -
Periodic Adaptive Stabilization of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems
(Springer, 2019-06-19)Adaptive control deals with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time variation is slow, with results for systems with fast time variations limited ... -
Periodic Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time-variation is slow, with results for systems with fast ... -
Periodically-driven quantum many-body systems, many-body localization and machine learning
(University of Waterloo, 2018-03-09)Despite the exponentially large amount of information required in the quantum description of many-body systems, finite size numerical simulations have paved the way for recent progress in the understanding of quantum phases ... -
Periodicity and Repetition in Combinatorics on Words
(University of Waterloo, 2004)This thesis concerns combinatorics on words. I present many results in this area, united by the common themes of periodicity and repetition. Most of these results have already appeared in journal or conference ... -
Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography: Review of Evidence and Recommendations for Image Acquisition, Analysis, and Reporting, Among Individuals With Neurological Impairment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)In 2015, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) position statement regarding peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) did not recommend routine use of pQCT, in clinical settings until consistency ... -
The Periscope and The Labyrinth
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-05)The Periscope and the Labyrinth is an investigation into cultural identity, consciousness and landscape rooted in the body’s experience of the city. The modern phenomenon of flânerie is used as a means of examining vari- ... -
Perishable Inventory Routing Problem under Uncertainty
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-24)In an Inventory Routing Problem (IRP), a decision-maker decides the number of units delivered to each retailer and determines delivery routes, which becomes increasingly challenging as the network expands. Incorporating ... -
Permanganate flushing of DNAPL source zones, experimental and numerical investigation
(University of Waterloo, 2000) -
Perovskite Oxide Combined With Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes As Bifunctional Catalyst for Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-28)Zinc air batteries are among the most promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness. The low mass and cost of zinc air batteries is a result of traditional active ... -
Perpetuating Spadina Avenue: Conceptualizing the Creative Milieu
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-25)This thesis begins with Toronto’s Spadina Avenue. Admiration for its social and cultural past and present contrasts with its seemingly inevitable future; ethnically charged sections of the avenue will succumb to real estate ... -
Persistence of Artificial Sweeteners, Phosphorus and Nitrogen in Three Septic System Plumes with Differing Redox Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-31)Septic systems are widely used for on-site wastewater treatment throughout Canada, including at most of Ontario’s provincial parks. They are frequently located in unconfined aquifer systems that may also be used for water ... -
The persistence of compulsive checking: The role of distrust in attention and perception
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-30)A growing literature suggests that individuals repeatedly check in part because they lack confidence in their memories for previously-completed actions. It has also been hypothesized that the cognitive distrust demonstrated ... -
The Persistence of Involuntary Memory: Analyzing Phenomenology, Links to Mental Health, and Content
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-23)In daily life, memories of one’s personal past are often retrieved involuntarily (i.e., unintentionally and effortlessly). Termed involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs), recent evidence suggests that these are often ... -
The persistent effects of sports-related concussion during adolescence on sensorimotor integration
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-26)A history of concussion increases the risk of subsequent musculoskeletal injury. However, the exact mechanism of the increased risk of injury remains unknown. Persistent alterations in sensorimotor control during periods ... -
Persistent oscillations in the Aplysia bag cell network
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Persistence is a phenomena by which a resting neuron enters a state of persistent behavior following a brief stimulus. Persistent neural systems can exhibit long-term responses that remain after the stimulus is removed, ... -
Persistent perceptual delay for head movement onset relative to sound onset with and without vision
(University of Waterloo, 2017-02-15)Knowing when the head moves is crucial information for the central nervous system in order to maintain a veridical representation of the self in the world for perception and action. Our head is constantly in motion during ... -
