Visual Inputs and Motor Outputs as Indivduals Walk Through Dynamically Changing Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-01)Walking around in dynamically changing environments require the integration of three of our sensory systems: visual, vestibular, and kinesethic. Vision is the only modality of these three sensory systems that provides ... -
VISUAL INPUTS AND MOTOR OUTPUTS AS INDIVIDUALS WALK THROUGH DYNAMICALLY CHANGING ENVIRONMENTS
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Walking around in dynamically changing environments require the integration of three of our sensory systems: visual, vestibular, and kinesethic. Vision is the only modality of these three sensory systems that provides ... -
Visual optical biosensors based on DNA-functionalized polyacrylamide hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2013-12-15)Biosensors are devices that can provide quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information about target molecules, where molecular recognition is based on biomolecular interactions. In recent years, DNA has emerged ... -
Visual Sensitivity of Dynamic Graphical Displays
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Advanced display design, such as Ecological Interface Design (EID), makes extensive use of complex graphical objects. Research has shown that by following EID methodologies, supervisory operators have better performance ... -
Visual Word Recognition: Evidence for Global and Local Control over Semantic Feedback
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-26)Two semantic priming experiments in the context of lexical decision are reported that examine the joint effects of stimulus quality, semantic context, and strength of association when all these factors are intermixed in a ... -
Visual-Inertial Odometry for 3D Pose Estimation and Scene Reconstruction using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-20)As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) become increasingly available, pose estimation remains critical for navigation. Pose estimation is also useful for scene reconstruction in certain surveillance applications, such as ... -
Visual-lidar Map Alignment for Change Detection in Infrastructure Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-22)Current human-based infrastructure inspections face several problems. Firstly, human inspectors face safety risks working in hazardous environments and reaching challenging areas in order to inspect an infrastructure asset ... -
Visualising data distributions with kernel density estimation and reduced chi-squared statistic
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)The application of frequency distribution statistics to data provides objective means to assess the nature of the data distribution and viability of numerical models that are used to visualize and interpret data. Two ... -
Visualization of bivariate sequence length-chain length distribution in free radical copolymerization
(Wiley, 2017-08)Copolymer properties and processability depend on copolymer microstructure, i.e., copolymer composition and monomer unit arrangements along copolymer chains. To predict ultimate properties of copolymers, one needs complete ... -
Visualizing and Understanding Code Duplication in Large Software Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2006-12-22)Code duplication, or code cloning, is a common phenomena in the development of large software systems. Developers have a love-hate relationship with cloning. On one hand, cloning speeds up the development process. On the ... -
Visualizing social acceptance research: A bibliometric review of the social acceptance literature for energy technology and fuels
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)This paper conducts content and bibliometric analysis of 857 articles representing the knowledge domain for the social acceptance of energy technology and fuels. The objective is to identify basic trends and characteristics ... -
“Vital acts of transfer”: Affective economies and embodied knowledge in #MeToo
(Intellect, 2021-01-22)This book chapter situates the #MeToo movement as a live, ongoing performance within the digital media sphere. It argues that performance theory offers a unique means of grasping at the movement’s significance and on-going ... -
Vital Energy Regulator: A Time-Independent Solution for Control of Lower Limb Exoskeletons
(IEEE, 2021-10)In this letter, we introduce a novel control strategy called Virtual Energy Regulator (VER) for lower limb rehabilitation exoskeletons. Unlike the conventional trajectory tracking controllers, VER, which is a time-independent ... -
Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Older Adults Living in Ontario Long-Term Care Homes: Protocols, Testing Procedures and Prevalence
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)BACKGROUND: Vitamin B12 status is a relevant topic to older adults and deficiency has avoidable clinical ramifications. While classical symptoms of B12 deficiency are either hematologic or neurologic, presentation of these ... -
Vitamin D supplements: Magic pill or overkill?
(Bangladesh Journals Online, 2016-07-25)Vitamin D is a multifunctional micronutrient that exerts hormonal effects on many organs of the body. 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D is the active metabolite of vitamin D, formed by dual hydroxylation in the liver and kidney. -
Vitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone and Bone Quality in Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-14)Background: Following spinal cord injury (SCI) declines in sub-lesional bone mineral density (BMD) occur, and are associated with a high prevalence of fractures. Conventional risk factors for osteoporosis diagnosis in the ... -
