PLOX: A Secure Serverless Framework for the Smart Home
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-17)Smart hubs play a key role in the modern smart home in executing code on behalf of devices locally or on the cloud. Unfortunately, smart hubs are prone to security problems due to misconfigurations, device over permissioning ... -
Plug-In City Outlets: Revisioning the Form of Urban Logistics
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-06)In support of a modal shift towards rail for goods movement, a reconceptualization of urban and interurban mobility frameworks leads to the proposed infrastructural fitting for the urban periphery. Keller Easterling’s ... -
The Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-24)There is an increasing interest in sustainability and a growing debate about environmental policy measures aiming at the reduction of green house gas emissions across di erent economic sectors worldwide. The transportation ... -
Pluggable Properties for Program Understanding: Ontic Type Checking and Inference
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-26)Pluggable type systems is a powerful approach to add additional information on types, which can facilitate the understanding of programs. This thesis presents our work on three pluggable type systems for helping both ... -
A Pluralistic Approach to Interactional Expertise
(Elsevier, 2014-09)The concept of interactional expertise – characterized by sociologists Harry Collins and Robert Evans as the ability to speak the language of a discipline without the corresponding ability to practice – can serve as a ... -
Plurality, promises and practice: A case of Nepali immigrants’ transliterating and translanguaging in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Plurality, promises and practice: A case of Nepali immigrants’ transliterating and translanguaging in Canada is a community-based study among sixteen Nepali immigrant students in graduate and undergraduate programs that ... -
Pluronic-Based Nanoparticles for Gene Therapy Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Non-viral delivery vectors have potential advantages over the viral systems that currently are used extensively for delivering therapeutic genes of interest. However, non-viral gene therapy has low efficiencies in vivo, ... -
POEM: Pattern-Oriented Explanations of CNN Models
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) achieve state-of-the-art predictive performance in applications such as computer vision, their predictions are difficult to explain, similar to other types of deep learning models. ... -
The Poetics of Dwelling: China’s Courtyard Homes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-28)Dwelling is a notion that describes the feeling of returning home to utter belonging and calmness at the end of an endeavour. It is a notion that differentiates a mere shelter versus a home because we develop intimate ... -
Poetics of Water
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-27)Dhaka was built on the banks of the river Buriganga around 700 AD. Over the last 400 years, it has grown into one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Every year, Dhaka sees an influx of migrants, who move ... -
La poésie engagée : la modernisation de l’imaginaire acadien dans les années 1970
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)Ce mémoire portera sur l’évolution de la notion d’imaginaire collectif en Acadie tel qu’elle apparaît dans trois œuvres poétiques majeures de la première moitié des années 1970. Il s’agit de Cri de Terre (1972) de Raymond ... -
Poincare Waves and Kelvin Waves in a Circular Lake
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-28)When wind blows over a stratified lake an interface tilt is often generated, and internal waves usually appear after the wind stops. Internal waves in lakes are studied in many literatures, but most assume a hydrostatic ... -
Point-to-Point Traffic in Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-29)Although most work on Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has focused on traffic flowing in and out of the network via gateways, traffic within the WMN may also be significant in many environments. This point-to-point (P2P) ... -
Poissonian potential measures for Lévy risk models
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)This paper studies the potential (or resolvent) measures of spectrally negative Lévy processes killed on exiting (bounded or unbounded) intervals, when the underlying process is observed at the arrival epochs of an independent ... -
A Polar Decomposition for Quantum Channels: Theory and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-23)Every potential benefit of quantum computers would be lost without methods to protect the computations from error. Quantum channels provide a framework for understanding error in quantum systems. In general, for a system ... -
Polarimetric and birefringence analysis of presumed amyloid-beta deposits in the retina in association with Alzheimer's disease
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-26)Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease which leads to symptoms such as loss of memory and other neurological dysfunctions, ultimately leading to death. Two key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease are abnormally ... -
Polarity Control for Nonthiolated DNA Adsorption onto Gold Nanoparticles
(American Chemical Society, 2013-05-21)Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with thiolated DNA have enabled many studies in nanoscience. The strong thiol/gold affinity and the nanoscale curvature of AuNPs allow the attached DNA to adapt an upright conformation ... -
Polarizability-Dependent Induced-Charge Electroosmotic Flow of Dielectric Particles and Its Applications
