Experimental Performance Evaluation of Bit-Rate Selection Algorithms in Multi-Vehicular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-24)IEEE 802.11 PHY supports multiple transmission rates according to multiple different modulations and coding schemes. Each WiFi station selects its own transmission rate according to its own algorithm; in particular, the ... -
Experimental prospects for detecting the quantum nature of spacetime
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-21)This thesis is concerned with advancing the confrontation between relativistic quantum information (RQI) and experiment. We investigate the lessons that some present-day experiments can teach us about the relationship ... -
Experimental quantum communication in demanding regimes
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)Quantum communication promises to outperform its classical counterparts and enable protocols previously impossible. Specifically, quantum key distribution (QKD) allows a cryptographic key to be shared between distant parties ... -
Experimental Quantum Information Processing with Photons
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)This thesis describes experimental generation, manipulation and measurement of quantum information using photon pairs emitted in bulk crystals. Multi-photon sources engineered during the course of this thesis have proven ... -
Experimental search for long-range forces in neutron scattering via a gravitational spectrometer
(American Physical Society, 2014-04-09)In this work we introduce a method of measuring low-energy scattering cross section with a gravitational spectrometer. In this method we add atoms (i.e., He) to the gravitational spectrometer filled with a target gas of ... -
Experimental Stress State-Dependent Void Nucleation Behaviour for Two 800 MPa Advanced High Strength Steels
(2018-04-26)The influence of microstructure and stress state, as defined by the stress triaxiality and Lode parameter, on micro-void nucleation was evaluated experimentally for two 800 MPa Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), one a ... -
Experimental Studies Focused on the Pore-Scale Aspects of Heavy Oil and Bitumen Recovery Using the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) and Solvent-Aided SAGD (SA-SAGD) Recovery Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-20)Increasing energy consumption and continuous depletion of hydrocarbon reservoirs will result in a conventional oil production peak in the near future. Thus, the gap between the global conventional oil supplies and the ... -
Experimental studies of the forms and functions of private speech in young adults

Experimental Studies of the Hydrodynamics of Liquid Droplet Generation and Transport in Microchannels
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-18)Droplet microfluidics is a promising field since it overcomes many of the limitations of single phase microfluidic systems. The improved mixing time scale, the increase of number of samples and the isolation of droplets ... -
Experimental Studies on Iron-Based Catalytic Combustion of Natural Gas
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-21)Catalytic combustion is an efficient method to reduce pollutant emissions produced by a variety of fuels. In this thesis, the use of iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) as a catalyst precursor in the combustion of natural gas is ... -
Experimental studies on the erodibility and transport behaviour of dreissenid mussel deposits in an annular flume
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Dreissenid mussels alter particle transport dynamics in the near shore environment of the Great Lakes by intercepting, retaining and recycling suspended solids that might otherwise be exported to the offshore environment ... -
Experimental study of flow through compressor Cascade
(Elsevier, 2017-09-01)The objective of this research work is to study the behaviour of flow at the inlet, within the blade passage and at the exit of a compressor cascade. For this purpose, a cascade with six numbers of aerofoil blades was ... -
An experimental study of hand washing in people with high and normative contamination fear
(Elsevier, 2021-01)Compulsions are the hall mark of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but there has been surprisingly little research on their phenomenology and persistence, and much of this work has focused on checking compulsions. The ... -
An Experimental Study of Selected Methods towards Achieving 100% Recall of Synonyms in Software Requirements Documents
(University of Waterloo, 2015)Software requirements documents written in natural language need to avoid the use of synonyms to reduce unnecessary confusion and ambiguity. In practice, synonyms are still common and are widely used in requirements ... -
An experimental study of single hole spin qubit coherence in a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot device
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-15)This thesis discusses a series of experiments performed on a p-type laterally-gated GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot device. The main purpose of these experiments was to explore the potential of a theoretically-predicted ... -
An Experimental Study of the Effects of Partners’ Offers of Amends and Expressions of Responsiveness on Forgiveness for Real-life Transgressions in Romantic Relationships
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-18)Research has shown that forgiveness promotes individual psychological well-being as well as positive relationship functioning. Moreover, couples themselves report that forgiving is one of the most important reasons that ... -
Experimental Study of Thermal Degradation of Fire Resisting Compartment Partitions in Fires
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)Fire separations in a building (e.g. walls) are often constructed from combustible materials; those containing wood stud framing, mineral wool insulation, and gypsum board wallcoverings are commonplace in Canadian residential ... -
