Post-Hackathon Learning Circles: Supporting Lean Startup Development
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Hackathons provide rapid, hands-on opportunities to explore innovative solutions to problems, but provide little support to teams in moving those solutions into practice. We explore the use of post-hackathon Learning Circles ... -
Post-mapping Topology Rewriting for FPGA Area Minimization
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)Circuit designers require Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools when compiling designs into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in order to achieve high quality results due to the complexity of the compilation tasks involved. ... -
Post-Oil +15: Designing an "Urban Campus" in Downtown Calgary
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-20)Calgary, Alberta is a city that is economically dependent on the petroleum industry. The inevitable boom and bust cycle surrounding the petroleum industry frequently disrupts Calgary’s socioeconomic health. Since the ... -
Post-Quantum Account Recovery for Passwordless Authentication
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-24)WebAuthn is a passwordless authentication protocol which allows users to authenticate to online services using public-key cryptography. Users prove their identity based on possession of a private key, which is stored on a ... -
A post-quantum digital signature scheme based on supersingular isogenies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-20)We present the first general-purpose digital signature scheme based on supersingular elliptic curve isogenies secure against quantum adversaries in the quantum random oracle model with small key sizes. This scheme is ... -
Post-Quantum Elliptic Curve Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-16)We propose and develop new schemes for post-quantum cryptography based on isogenies over elliptic curves. First we show that ordinary elliptic curves are have less than exponential security against quantum computers. These ... -
Post-Quantum Security of Authenticated Key Establishment Protocols
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-20)We present a security model for authenticated key establishment that allows for quantum interactions between the adversary and quantum oracles that emulate classical parties, resulting in a truly post-quantum security ... -
The Post-Secondary Decision-Making Process for At-Risk Students in Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-23)An important body of research examines the role of student decision-making on stratification and post-secondary transitions. In an era of expanded options, students often have to draw on personal, family and institutional ... -
Postadolescent Novels in Contemporary German and Canadian Literature: Defining Features and Character Development of In Plüschgewittern’s and The Flying Troutmans’ Protagonists
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-08)Postadolescence is a relatively new sociological and psychological phenomenon. While previous research has primarily read the postadolescent novel as an adolescent novel, this thesis seeks to contribute to existing scholarship ... -
Posthumanist Medicine: Participatory Healthcare, Medical Humanities, and Digital Media
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-24)This dissertation explores the construction of illness in the context of two interrelated processes that both propose a more empowered patient role and a whole person model for healthcare. Specifically, these contexts are ... -
Postman Problems on Mixed Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2003)The <i>mixed postman problem</i> consists of finding a minimum cost tour of a mixed graph <i>M</i> = (<i>V</i>,<i>E</i>,<i>A</i>) traversing all its edges and arcs at least once. We prove that two well-known linear ... -
Postural control is modified by an interaction of psychological and physiological factors

Postural Effects on Brain Blood Flow and Cognition in Heart Failure
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-06)With the aging population on the rise, the prevalence of heart failure is expected to increase in the coming years. Heart failure is independently correlated with cognitive decline and has a negative impact on quality of ... -
Postural motor learning and the effects of age on practice-related improvements in compensatory posture control
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-27)The purpose of this thesis was to examine the capacity for acquisition and retention of practice-related improvements in compensatory posture control and the nature of postural motor learning among healthy young and older ... -

Postural state modulation of cortical balance reactions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-25)Safe and effective walking is a crucial part of daily human life, but the number of injuries and resulting financial burden from falls during walking is increasing. As a result, it continues to be important to advance ... -
Posture Dependent Vibration Resistance of Serial Robot Manipulators to Applied Oscillating Loads
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-11)There are several advantages to replacing CNC machinery with robotic machine tools and as such robotic machining is emerging into the manufacturing and metal cutting industry. There remain several disadvantages to using ... -
Posturing Horses: Xenophon on Biomechanical Soundness in The Art of Horsemanship
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-12)As early as the Bronze Age, ancient Greek horses shared in the social status of the military elite. The ritual inclusion of horses and their equipment in burial practices from the Bronze Age to the Classical period marked ... -
