REBUILDING OUR WATERS: An alternative view of Ontario cottage country through models of community engagement and shared environmental stewardship.
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-10)Cottaging is a ‘summer-home’ tradition for many Canadian families and plays an important role in Ontario’s cultural and provincial identity. The North-Hastings – East Haliburton area is a popular cottage destination; however ... -
Recalibrating Detroit: A Plan for Incremental Neighbourhood Densification
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)This thesis analyses factors responsible for Detroit’s past growth and delves into its current transient culture. The phenomena of its urban shrinkage is more than just a demographic shift. It is a harbinger of qualitative ... -
The Receipt of Task-Related Help: Developing and Validating a Scale
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Helping behaviors have been subjected to a substantial amount of research attention. However, organizational researchers have disproportionately focused on the help giver, neglecting the recipient of help. To stimulate ... -
Receive Soft Antenna Selection for Noise-Limited/Interference MIMO Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-07)Although the Multi-Input and Multi-Output (MIMO) communication systems provide very high data rates with low error probabilities, these advantages are obtained at the expense of having high signal processing tasks and ... -
Receiver Channel Recovery in High-Frame-Rate Ultrasound Imaging using Branched Convolutional Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)High frame rate ultrasound (HiFRUS) is an imaging paradigm that utilizes unfocused transmissions to perform acquisitions at kilohertz frame rates, and its high temporal resolution enables its use in tracking dynamic ... -
