Arm posture influences on regional supraspinatus and infraspinatus activation in isometric arm elevation efforts
(Elsevier, 2019-02)This study aimed to evaluate the effect of arm posture on activation of the anterior and posterior regions of supraspinatus and the superior and middle regions of infraspinatus during resisted isometric arm elevations. ... -
Armitage Lecture 2011: The Design and Analysis of Life History Studies
(Wiley, 2013)Life history studies collect information on events and other outcomes during people’s lifetimes. For example, these may be related to childhood development, education, fertility, health, or employment. Such longitudinal ... -

Around the closure of the set of commutators of idempotents in B(H): Biquasitriangularity and factorisation
(Elsevier, 2023-04-15)In this paper, we continue our study of the norm-closure of the set CEof bounded linear operators acting on a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space Hwhich may be expressed as the commutator of two idempotent ... -
Art and the City - Building Community at Jane and Finch
(University of Waterloo, 2009-11-30)In rapidly growing North American cities, large-scale urban developments struggle to create a distinctive sense of community. Responding to increasing trends of isolation, decentralization, cultural and artistic expressions, ... -

The Artifacts of No-Place
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-27)This thesis assembles within it a glimpse of ‘a life’. It traces a path of disillusion to dissolution in navigating a search for identity in an increasingly globalized world. Settling into the trajectory carved by ... -
An artificial intelligence framework for vehicle crashworthiness design
(University of Waterloo, 2021-11-24)Numerical crash test simulations are crucial for vehicle safety design. In the automotive industry, frameworks based on finite element methods are most common as they are precise and reliable. A few of the setbacks are ... -
An Artificial Intelligence Teaching Assistant for Microelectronic Circuits Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-14)For several decades, personal computers have been used as a tool to enhance training and education. Some of the early computer systems used in this field, referred to as Computer Based Training (CBT) and Computer Aided ... -
Artificial Magnetic Materials for High Gain Planar Antennas
(University of Waterloo, 2011-03-30)A new method is proposed to enhance the gain and efficiency of planar printed antennas. The proposed method is based on using artificial magnetic materials as a superstrate for planar printed antennas while maintaining the ... -
Artificial Magnetic Materials: Limitations, Synthesis and Possibilities
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)Artificial magnetic materials (AMMs) are a type of metamaterials which are engineered to exhibit desirable magnetic properties not found in nature. AMMs are realized by embedding electrically small metallic resonators ... -
Artificial Neural Networks for Microwave Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)Microwave detection techniques based on the theory of perturbation of cavity resonators are commonly used to measure the permittivity and permeability of objects of dielectric and ferrite materials at microwave frequencies. ... -
Artin's Conjecture: Unconditional Approach and Elliptic Analogue
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)In this thesis, I have explored the different approaches towards proving Artin's `primitive root' conjecture unconditionally and the elliptic curve analogue of the same. This conjecture was posed by E. Artin in the year ... -
Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture and its Extension to Compositie Moduli
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)If we fix an integer a not equal to -1 and which is not a perfect square, we are interested in estimating the quantity N_{a}(x) representing the number of prime integers p up to x such that a is a generator of the cyclic ... -
