Resisting Transculturation: The European Woman in English Travel Writing
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Comprised of four separate case studies – one on the Eastern novels of Penelope Aubin and Eliza Haywood written in the 1720’s, one on Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s Turkish Embassy Letters, one that features female castaway ... -
Resistive Switching Memory of TiO2 Nanowire Networks Grown on Ti Foil by a Single Hydrothermal Method
(Springer, 2017-04-01)The resistive switching characteristics of TiO2 nanowire networks directly grown on Ti foil by a single-step hydrothermal technique are discussed in this paper. The Ti foil serves as the supply of Ti atoms for growth of ... -
Resistor-Network Formulation of Multi-Temperature Free Convection Problems
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2017-01-11)In recent work, the resistor-network formulation of forced-convection problems and a technique (dQdT) for evaluating the paired convective resistances that characterize the network were presented. This technique entails ... -
Resistor-Network Formulation of Multitemperature Forced-Convection Problems
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2016-09-07)Many convection heat transfer problems involve more than two isothermal heat sources/sinks. A network of multiple convective resistors connecting temperature nodes representing the isothermal sources (walls, inlet flows, ... -
Resolution Dependence and Subfilter-Scale Motions in Idealized Squall-Line Simulations
(AMS, 2020-07-08)In this paper, the sensitivity of idealized squall-line simulations to horizontal resolution, subgrid turbulence mixing scheme, and subfilter-scale motion is discussed. Inconsistent results from numerical simulations ... -
Resolution Enhancement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Frequency Extrapolation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-16)This thesis focuses on spatial resolution enhancement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In particular, it addresses methods of performing such enhancement in the Fourier domain. After a brief review of Fourier theory, ... -
Resolution of Ties in Parametric Quadratic Programming
(University of Waterloo, 2004)We consider the convex parametric quadratic programming problem when the end of the parametric interval is caused by a multiplicity of possibilities ("ties"). In such cases, there is no clear way for the proper active ... -
Resolution-enhanced Digital Epiluminescence Microscopy Using Deep Computational Optics
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-17)Melanoma is the most common type of cancer, and the standard practice used for examining skin lesions is dermoscopy, where dermatologists use an epiluminescence microscope (ELM) to visualize the skin's surface and subsurface ... -
Resolving the influence of work sequencing which includes overhead work: implications for job cycle designs
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Many industrial workplaces involve tasks that require work to be performed in overhead postures. Epidemiological evidence suggests that working in these unavoidable, awkward postures leads to development of shoulder fatigue, ... -
