Constrained Rationality: Formal Value-Driven Enterprise Knowledge Management Modelling and Analysis Framework for Strategic Business, Technology and Public Policy Decision Making & Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)
The complexity of the strategic decision making environments, in which busi- nesses and governments live in, makes such decisions more and more difficult to make. People and organizations with access to the best known ...
Retrofit Control to Prevent ASD Nuisance Tripping Due to Power Quality Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-23)
Since the onset of automation, industry has relied on adjustable
speed drives to accurately control the speed of motors. Recent
advances have increased the number of adjustable speed drives
hitting the market. The proper ...
Integrated Circuit and Antenna Technology for Millimeter-wave Phased Array Radio Front-end
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)
Ever growing demands for higher data rate and bandwidth are pushing extremely high data rate wireless applications to millimeter-wave band (30-300GHz), where sufficient bandwidth is available and high data rate wireless ...
Transmission Strategies for the Gaussian Parallel Relay Channel
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-07)
Cooperative wireless communication has received significant attention during recent years due to several reasons. First, since the received power
decreases rapidly with distance, the idea of multi-hopping is becoming of ...
High Performance Digital Circuit Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2009-11-06)
Achieving high performance is one of the most difficult challenges in designing digital circuits. Flip-flops and adders are key blocks in most digital systems and must therefore be designed to yield highest performance. ...
User Interface Design and Validation for the Automated Rehabilitation System
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-27)
In current physical rehabilitation protocols, patients typically perform exercises with intermittent feedback or guidance following the initial demonstrations from the physiotherapist. Although many patient-centered systems ...
Large-scale Solar PV Investment Planning Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-14)
In the pursuit of a cleaner and sustainable environment, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has been established as the fastest growing alternative energy source in the world. This extremely fast growth is brought about, mainly, ...
Short Wavelength a-Si:H Photodetector for Bio-molecular Fragment Sizing
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-16)
A gel electrophoresis technology based on absorption of ultraviolet radiation for fragment sizing of bio-molecular segments such as protein and nucleic acid is introduced for the first time. The new technology has the ...
Adaptive Power Amplifiers for Modern Communication Systems with Diverse Operating Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2013-11-26)
In this thesis, novel designs for adaptive power amplifiers, capable of maintaining excellent performance at dissimilar signal parameters, are presented. These designs result in electronically reconfigurable, single-ended ...
Amorphous Silicon Based Large Area Detector for Protein Crystallography
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)
Proteins are commonly found molecules in biological systems: our fingernails, hair, skin, blood, muscle, and eyes are all made of protein. Many diseases simply arise because a protein is not folded properly. Therefore, ...
