Reconfiguration and Self-healing Mechanisms in Distribution Systems with High Distributed Generation (DG) Penetration
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-16)Recently, interest in Smart Grid (SG) as a tool for modernization and automation of the current distribution system has rapidly increased. This interest can be explained by the common belief that SG technologies greatly ... -
Reconfiguring Graph Colorings
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)Graph coloring has been studied for a long time and continues to receive interest within the research community \cite{kubale2004graph}. It has applications in scheduling \cite{daniel2004graph}, timetables, and compiler ... -
Reconfiguring Triangulations
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-06)The results in this thesis lie at the confluence of triangulations and reconfiguration. We make the observation that certain solved and unsolved problems about triangulations can be cast as reconfiguration problems. We ... -
Reconnecting Sarajevo: The Bentbaša Spine
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)Sarajevo’s Bentbaša, a bathing complex of natural and artificial pools on the Eastern edge of Sarajevo, sits on the brink of the Miljacka River. As a marker of the boundary between nature and the city, the site has been ... -
Reconquering Homeland
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-24)In a world plagued by refugee crisis, the urgency of addressing this persistent challenge remains a constant thread, especially as the root and stem of the crisis are yet to be fully understood and resolved. The complexities ... -
Reconsidering Impact in HCI: Bridging HCI Design Research and Public Health Science
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-23)A position paper for a CHI 2023 workshop. -
Reconstructing Cosmic Velocities with the Kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-13)Over the last few decades, Physical Cosmology has come a long way from a primitive and data-deprived field of research with several speculative theories of origin, evolution, and composition of the Universe to a mature, ... -
Reconstructing hv-convex polyominoes with multiple colours
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)This thesis examines the problem of reconstructing multiple discrete 2D objects, represented by a set of cells arranged in an m × n grid, from their projections. The objects being constructed are disjoint, hv-convex ... -
Reconstructing quantum molecular rotor ground states
(Physical Review B, 2020-07-06)Nanomolecular assemblies of C60 can be synthesized to enclose dipolar molecules. The low-temperature states of such endofullerenes are described by quantum mechanical rotors, which are candidates for quantum information ... -
Reconstructing the Life Histories of the Individuals Buried in the Rock-cut Cave Church of St. Georges, in Gurat, France
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)In the 1960s and 1970s, eighteen individuals were excavated from the cave church of St. Georges, located in Gurat, France. This thesis develops osteobiographies for these individuals to build on previous studies relating ... -
Reconstruction and Visualization of Polyhedra Using Projections
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Two types of problems are studied in this thesis: reconstruction and visualization of polygons and polyhedra. <br /><br /> Three problems are considered in reconstruction of polygons and polyhedra, given a set of ... -
Reconstruction of 3D Points From Uncalibrated Underwater Video
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-02)This thesis presents a 3D reconstruction software pipeline that is capable of generating point cloud data from uncalibrated underwater video. This research project was undertaken as a partnership with 2G Robotics, and ... -
Reconstruction of Half-Sibling Population Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2012-10-25)Half-sibling reconstruction is the task of determining maternal and paternal sibling relationships from observed genotypes of same-generation individuals in a population. Knowledge of how populations are structured allows ... -
Reconstruction of Local and Global Marine Paleoredox Conditions during Deposition of the Devonian-Mississippian Exshaw Formation (Black Shale Member) and the Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Maturation Effects
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-17)The end-Devonian Hangenberg event represented one of the biggest Phanerozoic mass extinctions. However, the potential mechanism(s) for triggering this event, including climate cooling, sea-level change, glaciation and ocean ... -
Reconstruction of local and global marine paleoredox conditions for the northeast-Panthalassan (British Columbia, Canada) expression of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event using a multi-proxy approach
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE) of the Early Jurassic is one of several Mesozoic instances of expanded ocean anoxia, coupled with feedbacks and perturbations in Earth’s systems. The drivers for these feedbacks ... -
Reconstruction of Local and Global Marine Redox Conditions During Deposition of Late Ordovician and Early Silurian Organic-Rich Mudrocks in the Siljan Ring District, Central Sweden
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-12)The Ordovician-Silurian transition witnessed the second largest mass extinction in the Phanerozoic Eon and the Hirnantian glaciation. We measured U (as δ238U relative to standard CRM145 = 0‰) and Mo (as δ98Mo relative to ... -

Reconstruction of Orthogonal Polyhedra
(University of Waterloo, 2008-02-20)In this thesis I study reconstruction of orthogonal polyhedral surfaces and orthogonal polyhedra from partial information about their boundaries. There are three main questions for which I provide novel results. The ... -
Reconstruction of Paleoclimate Time-Series in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Northern Alberta, from Stable Isotopes in Tree-Rings
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-12)The isotopic labelling of carbon in tree-rings varies as a function of growth season temperature and relative humidity. The isotopic labelling of oxygen in tree-rings varies as a function of source-water isotopic composition ... -
Reconstruction of past variation in lake water balance at upstream Smoky and Wabasca watersheds to improve understanding of causes of lake drying in the Peace-Athabasca Delta
