No Common Ground: Atlas of Resistance and Control During the 2010 Toronto G20 Summit
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-22)Architecture and legislation describe the spaces of the city, and the activities they contain. ‘Security’ can dislodge this public space. This is especially true during gatherings of global leaders within major cities. The ... -
NO MAN'S LAND: deconstructing the company camp in Canada's Oil Sands
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-08)For nearly fifty years, commercial development in the Canadian Oil Sands has been the generator of a population explosion in northern Alberta. Oil sector workers seeking stable employment and high wages have been drawn ... -
No Man's Land: The American military landscape as the new American park
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-21)Military landscapes are seldom seen as ecologically diverse territories, full of life. Yet, there is growing evidence that these volatile lands are finding a second life as animal refuges, born out of necessity under the ... -
No Peace - A Drawing Installation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-06)This paper is intended to serve as a supporting document for the exhibition "No Peace" that was held at the Artery Gallery, 158 King St. W, Kitchener, ON, Canada, March 28 - April 18, 2009. This drawing installation ... -
No Zombie Types: Liveness-Based Justification For Monotonic Gradual Types
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Gradual type systems with the monotonic dynamic semantics, such as HiggsCheck implementing SafeTypeScript, are able to achieve decent performance, making them a viable option for JavaScript programmers seeking run-time-checkable ... -
No, we can't just script it: and other refrains from (tired) archival data migrators
(2017-09-28)How are print finding aids migrated from binders in reading rooms to web-based descriptive platforms? And why is it taking so long? Paying special attention to format, description and discoverability challenges presented ... -
NO3- and N2O at the Strawberry Creek Catchment: tracing sources and processes using stable isotopes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-26)Nitrate (NO3) contamination in agricultural watersheds is a widespread problem that threatens local drinking supplies and downstream ecology. Dual isotopes of NO3- (d15N and d18O) have been successfully used to identify ... -
Noble Gas Collision Induced Vibrational Relaxation of (v=1) para-H2
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Close coupling scattering calculations have been conducted for the para spin modification of H<sub>2</sub>-{He, Ne and Ar}. The XC(fit) potential energy surfaces for H<sub>2</sub>-Ne and H<sub>2</sub>-Ar have been used ... -
NOCH: A framework for biologically plausible models of neural motor control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)This thesis examines the neurobiological components of the motor control system and relates it to current control theory in order to develop a novel framework for models of motor control in the brain. The presented framework ... -
Node Cluster Stability in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)In recent years, efforts have been made to deploy communication capabilities in vehicles and the transport infrastructure, leading to a potential of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In the envisioned VANET, communications ... -
Node-Weighted Prize Collecting Steiner Tree and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)The Steiner Tree problem has appeared in the Karp's list of the first 21 NP-hard problems and is well known as one of the most fundamental problems in Network Design area. We study the Node-Weighted version of the Prize ... -
Noise Analysis and Measurement for Current Mode and Voltage Mode Active Pixel Sensor Readout Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)A detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of noise in both current mode and voltage mode amorphous silicon (a-Si) active pixel sensors (APS) has been performed in this study. Both flicker (1/f) and thermal noise ... -
Noise Analysis and Measurement of Integrator-based Sensor Interface Circuits for Fluorescence Detection in Lab-on-a-chip Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-24)Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) biological assays have the potential to fundamentally reform healthcare. The move away from centralized facilities to Point-of-Care (POC) testing of biological assays would improve the speed and accuracy ... -
Noise and clock jitter analysis of sigma-delta modulators and periodically switched linear networks

Noise Characterization of a CMOS X-Ray Image Sensor
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)The objective of this thesis is to validate the noise performance of a high resolution CMOS X-ray imager. We carry out a detailed noise analysis on a four-quadrant CMOS imager and the external hardware. Careful analysis ... -
Noise reduction limits the McGurk Effect
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)In the McGurk Effect (McGurk & MacDonald, 1976), a visual depiction of a speaker silently mouthing the syllable [ga]/[ka] is presented concurrently with the auditory input [ba]/[pa], resulting in “fused” [da]/[ta] being ... -
Noise refocusing in a five-blade neutron interferometer
(AIP Publishing, 2017-08-07)We provide a quantum information description of a proposed five-blade neutron interferometer geometry and show that it is robust against low-frequency mechanical vibrations and dephasing due to the dynamical phase. The ... -
Noise Robust Keyword Spotting Using Deep Neural Networks For Embedded Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)The recent development of embedded platforms along with spectacular growth in communication networking technologies is driving the Internet of things to thrive. More complex tasks are now possible to operate in small devices ... -
Noise Spikes of Relaxation Oscillator from Energy Theoretic Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)An energy theoretic approach to augment the existing noise model is proposed by including the cryogenic (down to 77K) behaviour of the noise spikes due to the regeneration process (when loop gain close to 1) of a relaxation ... -
