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 ... -
Operational maps between molecular properties and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR)
(Wiley, 2019-01-20)Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is one of the main failure mechanisms involved in polymer fractures. This paper focusses on the environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR) of polyethylene (PE) in which ESC occurs ... -
Operational Risk Assessment of Power Systems with Distributed Energy Resources Using Minimal Cut Sets
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-16)Electric power system networks are facing major challenges because of the rapid increase in penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs). Reliability evaluation plays an important role in system analysis, design, ... -
An Operational Road towards Understanding Causal Indefiniteness within Post-Quantum Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-07)A theory, whatever it does, must correlate data. We commit ourselves to operational methodology, as a means towards studying the space of Generalised Probability Theories that are compatible with Indefinite Causality. Such ... -
Operational Robustness of Drinking Water Treatment Plants with Respect to Turbidity Representing Normal, Severe and Unprecedented Weather Events
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-16)Drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) are required to supply safe drinking water continuously to the consumers to protect public health and sanitation. The adverse effects of climate change can influence raw water quality, ... -
Operational Sea-Ice Classification of Dual Polarized SAR Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-28)Mapping sea ice in polar regions is crucial for research and operational applications, such as environmental modeling and ship navigation. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offers a dependable and efficient means of monitoring ... -
Operationalizing Sense of Place Concepts and Cultural Ecosystem Services to Explore Urban Ecosystem Rehabilitation Performance from A Socio-Cultural Lens: The Case of Wadi Hanifah—Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-22)Urban ecosystems (UE), and urban wetlands specifically, are considered coupled human-natural systems; meaning, they rely on the complex interdependencies of human and ecological components. As such, any intervention procedure ... -
Operator Impedance During Physical Human-Robot Interaction: Estimation and Validation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-20)As the frequency and complexity of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) increases, so does the need to understand the dynamics of this coupled system in real-time. For haptic displays, which provide information to our ... -
Operator Spaces and Ideals in Fourier Algebras
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)In this thesis we study ideals in the Fourier algebra, A(G), of a locally compact group G. For a locally compact abelian group G, necessary conditions for a closed ideal in A(G) to be weakly complemented are given, ... -
Operator Theoretic Methods in Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-31)This Master's thesis will develops a modern approach to complex interpolation problems studied by Carath\'{e}odory, Nevanlinna, Pick, and Schur in the early $20^{th}$ century. The fundamental problem to solve is as follows: ... -
OPERATORS WHICH ARE POLYNOMIALLY ISOMETRIC TO A NORMAL OPERATOR
