One Stone, Three Processes: A Material Culture Study on Queenston Limestone
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-19)Named after the Queenston Quarry, Queenston Limestone is Canada’s highest calibre of building stone for its durable building properties and aesthetics. The stone has been quarried in the St. David’s and Niagara region for ... -
One versus two eyes makes a difference! Early face perception is modulated by featural fixation and feature context
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The N170 event-related potential component is an early marker of face perception that is particularly sensitive to isolated eye regions and to eye fixations within a face. Here, this eye sensitivity was tested further by ... -
The ‘One Way Journey’: How men experience, navigate, and conceptualize the process of being a caregiver for their wives who have dementia
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-05)Background: The health care system relies heavily on unpaid caregivers, or family, for people living with dementia. As demographics and gender norms shift, more older men will be providing care than ever before. Caring ... -
One-dimensional Nanostructures of Hafnium Oxides: Fabrication with and without Ti/Fe Doping, and Magnetic Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-10)Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in the late 1980s, which marked the emergence of spintronic technology, the integration of conventional semiconductor-based electronics with spintronics has always been ... -
One-Dimensional Population Density Approaches To Recurrently Coupled Networks Of Neurons With Noise
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2015)Mean-field systems have been previously derived for networks of coupled, two-dimensional, integrate-and-fire neurons such as the Izhikevich, adapting exponential, and quartic integrate-and-fire, among others. Unfortunately, ... -
One-dimensional titanium dioxide nanomaterial based memristive device and its neuromorphic computing applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-13)Memristor devices as the alternative to the next-generation non-volatile memory devices has been widely studied recently due to its advantages of simple structure, fast switching speed, low power consumption. Among all the ... -
One-pot synthesis of porous silica-supported ultrafine Ni nanoparticles as efficient and stable catalyst for selective hydrogenation of benzophenone
(Elsevier, 2019-12-15)In this work, we report a silica-supported ultrafine Ni catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of benzophenone. This material was developed by a facile one-pot co-assembly syntheses strategy, using Ni(II) chelated alginate ... -
Oneiric Hut
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)I set out to learn something basic about architecture, something foundational on which to situate the conceptual and rhetorical exercises played within the studio. In settings both academic and professional I had been ... -
Onion Root Anatomy and the Uptake of Sulphate and Phosphate Ions
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-12)Ions in the soil solution traverse many layers (epidermis, exodermis, central cortex, and endodermis) within the root to reach the stele. The endodermis is present in almost all vascular plants while the exodermis is found ... -
An Online Analytical System for Multi-Tagged Document Collections
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-03)The New York Times Annotated Corpus and the ACM Digital Library are two prototypical examples of document collections in which each document is tagged with keywords and significant phrases. Such collections can be viewed ... -
Online Assessment of Distributed Generation Connection for Smart Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-22)Increasing renewable energy generation is among the most important objectives of smart grid, especially due to the increased environmental concerns, energy demand, and depletion of fossil energy resources. Introducing ... -
Online Bayesian Learning in Probabilistic Graphical Models using Moment Matching with Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-18)Probabilistic Graphical Models are often used to e fficiently encode uncertainty in real world problems as probability distributions. Bayesian learning allows us to compute a posterior distribution over the parameters of ... -
Online communication of Public Leisure Services
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-15)Through the assistance of the Internet, public organizations can create lasting relationships with citizens in an individualized and interactive manner. The purpose of this study was to obtain a preliminarily understanding ... -
Online Defect Prediction for Imbalanced Data
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-14)Many defect prediction techniques are proposed to improve software reliability. Change classification predicts defects at the change level, where a change is a collection of the modifications to one file in a commit. In ... -
Online Digital Game-Based Language Learning Environments: Opportunities for Second Language Development
