Fabrication of Surface Metal Matrix Composites Using Friction Stir Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)Friction stir processing has been employed to produce metal matrix composites by incorporating reinforcement particles in an Al 5059 matrix. Various particles with sizes from 130 nm to 4.3 um, and different process ... -
Fabrication of Transparent Nanocellulose Paper from Plant Sources for Energy Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-04)Over the past decades, electronic waste has accumulated and has increased by 21% in the last five years. Recently, a UN report founded that the world dumped a gross record of 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste across last ... -
Fabrication of ZnO/Cu2O heterojunctions in atmospheric conditions: Improved interface quality and solar cell performance
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)Zn1−xMgxO/Cu2O heterojunctions were successfully fabricated in open-air at low temperatures via atmospheric atomic layer deposition of Zn1−xMgxO on thermally oxidized cuprous oxide. Solar cells employing these heterojunctions ... -
Fabrication of μ-pH Biosensor for Implantable Medical Devices and Applications in Detecting Post-Operative Complications
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-19)The monitoring of the pH milieu inside the body is critical to the functions associated with implantable medical devices. By monitoring the variation of pH in real-time inside the body, we are capable of identifying the ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-16)This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of two Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) vibratory gyroscopes fabricated using the Silicon-On-Insulator-Multi-User-MEMS Process (SOIMUMPs) and Polysilicon ... -
Facadist Toronto: Heritage at Face Value
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)Facadism is the practice of retaining only the outward layer of a building, usually of heritage significance, while the interiors are demolished to make way for new construction. In Toronto, this has become standard practice, ... -
FACES OF MATCHING POLYHEDRA
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-30)Let G = (V, E, ~) be a finite loopless graph, let b=(bi:ieV) be a vector of positive integers. A feasible matching is a vector X = (x.: j e: E) J of nonnegative integers such that for each node i of G, the sum of ... -
Facial expression discrimination varies with presentation time but not with fixation on features: A backward masking study using eye-tracking
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01-02)The current study investigated the effects of presentation time and fixation to expression-specific diagnostic features on emotion discrimination performance, in a backward masking task. While no differences were found ... -
Facial Expression Recognition System
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-23)A key requirement for developing any innovative system in a computing environment is to integrate a sufficiently friendly interface with the average end user. Accurate design of such a user-centered interface, however, ... -
