Overlay Token Ring Protocol for Vehicular Communication Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-20)Vehicular communication has been an emerging topic among current wireless research. The vehicular communication can be classified to Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) and Road-to-Vehicle Communication (RVC). IVC and RVC ... -
The Overnight City. Future Explorations of Density and Population Growth in a Diminishing World
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-25)Land is our planet’s scarcest resource. With all the combined advances in our civilizations and their respective technologies, we have yet as a society to fully understand our precarious situation ... -
Overnight Corneal Swelling and Deswelling with Silicone Hydrogel Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-13)Purpose: To compare central corneal swelling (CS) after eight hours of sleep in eyes wearing 12 different silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses (CLs) and to model between-subject variability in CS and deswelling. Methods: ... -
Overview of a Project to Determine the Surface Temperatures of Insulated Glazing Units: Thermographic Measurement and Two-Dimensional Simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)A collaborative research project was undertaken to generate surface temperature profiles for the indoor side of seven different double and triple-glazed insulated glazing units exposed to the ASHRAE winter design condition. ... -
An Overview of the Potential of UV Modification of Polypropylene
(Wiley, 2016-02)UV radiation with a photoinitiator has been utilized to modify polypropylene (PP). Factors affecting solid state photomodification were studied and the optimal processing conditions for formation of three different structures ... -
Ownership Masks, Evolving Views and Cooperative Templates in Template Tracking
(University of Waterloo, 2003)A template tracker is a tracker based on matching a pre-initialised view of an object with the object's view in an image sequence. Using an error function, the intensity difference between the template view and the ... -
Oxidation characteristics, acid neutralization, secondary minerals, and trace elements associated with pyrrhotite oxidation in historical waste rock
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-27)The Detour Lake Mine is an open pit, greenstone-hosted gold mine in Ontario, Canada. Mining produced waste-rock piles that were constructed from 1983 – 1999. Redevelopment and expansion of the open pit required the excavation ... -
Oxidation Level-Dependent Zwitterionic Liposome Adsorption and Rupture by Graphene-based Materials and Light-Induced Content Release
(Wiley, 2013-04-08)Liposomes may be stably adsorbed or ruptured on graphene-based materials, depending on the oxidation state of graphene. IR-induced liposome leakage is achieved, since graphene oxide does not induce liposome leakage spontaneously. -
Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in fossil insect chitin as paleoenvironmental indicators

Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Doped Lanthanum Chromate Perovskites
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-19)The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) plays a pivotal role in fuel cell technology and the generation of clean oxidizing agents. This reaction can proceed via two distinct pathways. The complete ORR pathway involves reducing ... -
Oxygen uptake and blood flow kinetics following the onset of exercise in trained humans
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)The main hypothesis of this thesis was that the regulation of oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics at the onset of exercise in trained young men is linked to cardiovascular adaptations. Two studies were conducted to investigate ... -

P2P Marketplaces and Retailing in the Presence of Consumers' Valuation Uncertainty
(Wiley, 2017-03)Can peer‐to‐peer (P2P) marketplaces benefit traditional supply chains when consumers may experience valuation risk? P2P marketplaces can mitigate consumers' risk by allowing them to trade mismatched goods; yet, they also ... -
P2TA: Privacy-preserving task allocation for edge computing enhanced mobile crowdsensing
(Elsevier, 2019-08)In conventional mobile crowdsensing (MCS) applications, the crowdsensing server (CS-server) needs mobile users’ precise locations for optimal task allocation, which raises privacy concerns. This paper proposes a ... -
A PAC-Theory of Clustering with Advice
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)In the absence of domain knowledge, clustering is usually an under-specified task. For any clustering application, one can choose among a variety of different clustering algorithms, along with different preprocessing ... -
PACAP Analogues with Potential Applications in Finfish Aquaculture
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-25)Global aquaculture industry has significant losses each year due to disease outbreaks, parasitic, viral, and bacterial infections. Common methods to treat fish infections include antibiotics, but prolonged use can lead to ... -
Pacing the House
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-04)Surveying my through a feminist approach to autotheory, Pacing the House is an exhibition that uses material inquiry to reframe personal trauma into a site of investigation. By creating systems of organization—categorizing, ... -
