Self-propulsion of aluminum particle-coated Janus droplet in alkaline solution
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)Janus droplet motion powered by gas bubbles is studied in this paper. The Janus droplets were fabricated by partially covering one side of an oil droplet with aluminum particles under gravity effect. By placing the Janus ... -
Self-referencing Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructures for Sensing
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-10)The field of plasmonics has drawn a considerable amount of research interest for the past 20 years, and now, plasmonics is a vital part of nanophotonics. Numerous applications have been enabled by plasmonic structures in ... -
Self-regulating the effortful “social dos”.
(American Psychological Association, 2014)In the current research, we explored differences in the self-regulation of the personal dos (i.e., engaging in active and effortful behaviors that benefit the self) and in the self-regulation of the social dos (engaging ... -
Self-regulation in romantic relationships: The moderating effect of agreeableness on self-esteem and risk regulation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-22)This study investigates the effects of agreeableness and self-esteem on people’s accommodation tendencies within the framework of risk regulation theory. Accommodation refers to one’s tendency to inhibit destructive responses ... -
A self-regulatory approach to understanding boredom proneness
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-11-16)We investigated the relationship between self-regulation and two types of boredom proneness (perceived lack of internal stimulation, perceived lack of external stimulation) using a variety of measures of self-regulation. ... -
Self-Regulatory Driving Behaviour, Perceived Abilities and Comfort Level of Older Drivers with Parkinson's disease compared to Age-Matched Healthy Controls
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-19)Introduction: Multiple studies have shown the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) can impair driving performance. Studies have also found elevated crash rates in drivers with PD, however, none have controlled for exposure ... -
Self-regulatory Processes: Relationships between executive function, emotion regulation, the experience of emotions and psychological distress
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-22)Although executive function (EF) and emotion regulation (ER) are both self-regulatory abilities which share common neural substrates and have been linked to common mental health outcomes, few research studies have looked ... -
Self-Scheduling Operations of a Compressed Air Energy Storage Facility Under Uncertainties
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)High penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) such as solar and wind in power systems reduce carbon emissions and decentralize the energy generation. However, the intermittency of these sources introduces new challenges, ... -
Self-Similarity of Images and Non-local Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-28)This thesis has two related goals: the first involves the concept of self-similarity of images. Image self-similarity is important because it forms the basis for many imaging techniques such as non-local means denoising ... -
A Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning Approach for Whole Slide Image Representation in Digital Pathology
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)Digital pathology has recently expanded the field of medical image processing for di- agnostic reasons. Whole slide images (WSIs) of histopathology are often accompanied by information on the location and type of diseases ... -
Self-supervised Video Representation Learning by Exploiting Video Speed Changes
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-29)In recent research, the self-supervised video representation learning methods have achieved improvement by exploring video’s temporal properties, such as playing speeds and temporal order. These works inspire us to exploit ... -
Self/Co-Assembling Peptide-based Nanocarriers for Anticancer Drug Delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-24)Current diagnostic and therapeutic nanocarriers, including liposomes, micelles, and polymeric- and protein-based nanoparticles, are designed to have key functional properties such as: (i) longevity in the bloodstream, ... -
