Cutting Mechanics of the Gear Shaping Process
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-12)In the machining industry, there is a constant need to increase productivity while also maintaining dimensional tolerances and good surface quality. For many classical machining operations (e.g. milling, turning, and ... -
Cutting-Plane Separation Strategies for Semidefinite Programming Models to Solve Single-Row Facility Layout Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-27)The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) is concerned with finding the optimal linear placement of n departments with different lengths in a straight line. It is typically achieved by minimizing the cost associated ... -
Cyber-Physical Resilience Enhancement Strategies for Modern Power Grids
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-28)Continuous research efforts are dedicated to developing methods to improve existing security tools to better fit the nature of smart grids. However, there is no perfect security scheme for every potential attack threat. ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Power Distribution Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-02-07)Smart grids have been witnessing continuous and rapid radical developments in the recent years. With the aim towards a more sustainable energy system, the share of distributed generation resources is ever-increasing and ... -
Cyber-Physical Security of Wide-Area Frequency-based Applications in Power Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-02)Modern power systems are continuously developing into large and interconnected ones. However, at the same time, restructuring within the power industry and reduced investment in transmission system expansions mean that ... -
Cyberheroes: An Interactive Ebook for Improving Children’s Online Privacy
(Scienceopen, 2017-07)We designed, illustrated, and developed Cyberheroes, an educational interactive ebook that teaches children about online privacy. The ebook was evaluated with children and parents, and had positive effects on children’s ... -
Cyberheroes: The Design and Evaluation of an Interactive Ebook to Educate Children about Online Privacy
(Elsevier, 2017-07)We designed an educational interactive ebook called Cyberheroes and evaluated it to assess its effectiveness at increasing children’s online privacy knowledge and behaviour, and supporting child-parent privacy-related ... -
Cyclades Archipelago: Regenerating the Productive and Tourism Landscapes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-29)Through history the shifting dynamics of urban and regional development in Greece’s Cyclades Archipelago shaped its overall identity and its islands’ social, economic and political cohesion. Nowadays the emerged tourism ... -
Cycle City: Generating a Cycling Culture in Toronto
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-18)As Toronto’s population continues to grow, the city is faced with many new challenges related to the quality of urban life. Central to overcoming these challenges is a rethinking of urban mobility. As the region’s population ... -
The Cycle Spaces of an Infinite Graph
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The edge space of a finite graph <em>G</em> = (<em>V</em>, <em>E</em>) over a field F is simply an assignment of field elements to the edges of the graph. The edge space can equally be thought of us an |<em>E</em>|-dimensional ... -
Cycle Time Reduction of 5-axis Laser Drilling via Time-optimal Trajectory Generation and Sequence Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Cycle time reduction is one of the crucial tasks in manufacturing that needs to be achieved to maximize productivity and profits. Laser drilling processes, depending on the size and complexity of the parts, require few ... -
Cycles and coloring in graphs and digraphs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)We show results in areas related to extremal problems in directed graphs. The first concerns a rainbow generalization of the Caccetta-H\"{a}ggkvist conjecture, made by Aharoni. The Caccetta-H\"{a}ggkvist conjecture states ... -
Cyclic Biamperometry
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-17)In this thesis, cyclic biamperometry (CB) as a new method in electrochemistry, has been introduced and investigated. The hallmark of this method is the absence of a reference electrode which potentially allows simplification ... -
Cyclic Characterisation and Plasticity Modelling of AM30 Magnesium Alloy Extrusion
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-14)Reducing fuel consumption and, thereby, greenhouse gas pollution has been the main thrust of lightweighting endeavours by transportation industries, particularly, automotive sector. Wrought magnesium alloys, being the ... -
Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon of Promotion on Rectangular Tableaux
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)Cyclic sieving phenomenon (CSP) is a generalization by Reiner, Stanton, White of Stembridge's q=-1 phenomenon. When CSP is exhibited, orbits of a cyclic action on combinatorial objects show a nice structure and their sizes ... -
Cyclic Style Generative Adversarial Network for Near Infrared and Visible Light Face Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-10)Face recognition in the visible light (VIS) spectrum has been widely utilized in many practical applications. With the development of the deep learning method, the recognition accuracy and speed have already reached an ... -
Cyclical Violence in Jonglei State: The Deadly Shift in the Practice of Cattle Raiding
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)One of the greatest post-conflict problems in South Sudan, which has emerged as a threat to the nation’s security, has been the deadly clashes between tribes during cattle raids. This thesis examines why cattle raiding ... -
Cyclically 5-Connected Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-29)Tutte's Four-Flow Conjecture states that every bridgeless, Petersen-free graph admits a nowhere-zero 4-flow. This hard conjecture has been open for over half a century with no significant progress in the first forty years. ... -
