Open-Loop Transient Atomic Force Microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-01)The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is an instrument for measuring, in fact “seeing”, phenomena at nanoscale (10^(-9) m) and all the way down to the atomic scale (<10^(-10) m). It was borne out of a need to observe physical ... -
An Open-Source Strategy for Documenting Events: The Case Study of the 42nd Canadian Federal Election on Twitter
(Code4Lib, 2016-04-25)This article examines the tools, approaches, collaboration, and findings of the Web Archives for Historical Research Group around the capture and analysis of about 4 million tweets during the 2015 Canadian Federal Election. ... -
OpenBSD Hardware Sensors — Environmental Monitoring and Fan Control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)This thesis discusses the motivation, origin, history, design guidelines, API, the device drivers and userland utilities of the hardware sensors framework available in OpenBSD. The framework spans multiple utilities in ... -
OpenCMP: An Open-Source Computational Multiphysics Package
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Computational multiphysics offers a safe, inexpensive, and rapid alternative to direct experimentation, but there remain barriers to its widespread use. One such barrier is the generation of conformal meshes of simulation ... -
Operating multi-user transmission for 5G and beyond cellular systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-16)Every decade, a new generation of cellular networks is released to keep up with the ever-growing demand for data and use cases. Traditionally, cellular networks rely on partitioning radio resources into a set of physical ... -
Operation of Distribution Systems with PEVs and Smart Loads
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-13)With the evolving concept of smart grids, Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) are gradually integrating advanced technologies and intelligent infrastructures to maximize distribution system capability, modernize the grid, ... -
Operation of Microgrids with Conventional and Virtual Energy Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-30)Distribution systems are now increasingly becoming more active due to the sustainable integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER). While this has enabled a cleaner and more efficient generation, it has also resulted ... -
Operational and Planning Aspects of Distribution Systems in Deregulated Electricity Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-16)In the current era of deregulated electricity markets, the power distribution systems have attained a very important and crucial role in the industry. A distribution company (referred to as a disco) plays an active and ... -
Operational Approaches to Quantum Correlations and Particle Creation in Field Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-22)In this thesis we examine a variety of question regarding several quantum information-theoretic concepts as they manifest in the context of relativistic quantum fields. In particular, we study the qualitative and quantitative ... -
Operational Control and Analysis of a Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid
(University of Waterloo, 2018-03-21)In light of the growing demand for electrical power around the globe, the need to increase electrical power generation in order to diminish total carbon emissions has led to the installation of renewable resources to replace ... -
Operational Design Domain Monitoring and Augmentation for Autonomous Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Recent technological advances in Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS) show promise in increasing traffic safety. One of the critical challenges in developing ADS with higher levels of driving automation is to derive safety ... -
