Fault Tolerant Multitenant Database Server Consolidation
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Server consolidation is important in situations where a sequence of database tenants need to be allocated (hosted) dynamically on a minimum number of cloud server machines. Given a tenant’s load defined by the amount of ... -
Fault Traces: Civilian Architectural Responses in the Syrian Civil War
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)In the discourse of urban warfare, architecture normally has two roles: it is the object of destruction during fighting, and the object of reconstruction after conflict ends. There is little consideration for a third role ... -
Fear of Guilt in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a significantly impairing anxiety disorder for which the most successful treatment, cognitive behaviour therapy, has 50-60% success rates, taking into account treatment refusals and ... -
Feasibility Analysis of a Powered Lower-Limb Orthotic for the Mobility Impaired User
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Powered orthotic devices can be used to restore mobility to the impaired user, and may thereby assist them in daily living tasks. An investigation is performed herein to examine the feasibility of a powered lower-limb ... -
Feasibility Analysis of Two Indirect Heat Pump Assisted Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-21)This thesis is an analysis of the simulated performance of two indirect heat pump assisted solar domestic hot water (i-HPASDHW) systems compared to two base systems: an electric domestic hot water (DHW) system and a ... -
Feasibility and Initial Efficacy of Home-Based Cardiac Telerehabilitation— A Pilot Study
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)Background: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the top health problem all over the world, including China. Home-based rehabilitation after cardiac surgery has been shown to be beneficial. In our study, a clinical study has ... -
The feasibility of field based mechanical compression to reduce the capillary barrier effect and increase CO2 sequestration in a restored cutover peatland
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-28)Ten years after restoration was implemented at the Bois-des-Bel peatland (BdB) in Quebec, there was limited hydrological connectivity between the regenerated Sphagnum moss and the remnant cutover peat due to the formation ... -
Feasibility of Producing Clad Twin Roll Cast (TRC) AZ31
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-27)The need for lighter weight vehicles to improve fuel efficiency is becoming increasingly imperative. Sheet magnesium alloys offer the potential as a light weight material for use in the transportation industry due to their ... -
Feasibility of Testing the Event Formalism with Refractive Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)In this thesis, we evaluate the feasibility of verifying the effect of gravity on the quantum entanglement by simulating gravity’s effects with other physical systems. Specifically, we work in the framework of the Event ... -
Feasibility of Using Traffic Data for Winter Road Maintenance Performance Measurement
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-29)Winter road maintenance (WRM) operations, such as plowing, salting and sanding, are significant to maintain both safety and mobility of highways, especially in countries like Canada. Traditionally, WRM performance is ... -
Feasibility Study of Ferromagnetic Particulate Path Diversion in Additive Manufacturing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)The use of electromagnetic actuator components typically involves a coil comprised of a stack-packed continuous winding, usually layered, and a core material of soft iron or at least a solenoid, similarly constructed, ... -
Feasibility Study of Lean Oil Sand as Base and Surface Material on Gravel Roads in Alberta
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-18)A major concern has been raised by Imperial Oil Inc. that dust issues extensively occurred on the gravel roads in Kearl Lake Oil Sand site in northern Alberta, Canada. Some mitigation measures had been utilized to minimize ... -
A Feasibility Study of Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers Functionalized for Ethanol Dectection
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-01)The chemical sensing system plays an important role in medical and environmental monitoring. Gases exhaled by humans include nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The VOCs are ... -
