On Using Storage and Genset for Mitigating Power Grid Failures
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)Although modern society is critically reliant on power grids, even modern power grids are subject to unavoidable outages due to storms, lightning strikes, and equipment failures. The situation in developing countries is ... -
On Vegh's Strongly Polynomial Algorithm for Generalized Flows
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-22)This thesis contains an exposition of the new strongly polynomial algorithm for the generalized flow problem by Laszlo Vegh (2013). It has been a long-standing open question whether such an algorithm exists, until it was ... -
On Walking
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-03)Imagine the anatomy of architecture as a complex system, where the form is the result of generative processes, the material properties of the components, and their patterns of assembly. Within this paradigm, surface is ... -
On Yonge Street
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)Yonge Street is a unique urban resource for the City of Toronto. It acts as the central nervous system uniting local, suburban and out-of-town populations with both surface and underground networks. It has transformed to ... -
On-Chip Power Supply Noise: Scaling, Suppression and Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-24)Design metrics such as area, timing and power are generally considered as the primary criteria in the design of modern day circuits, however, the minimization of power supply noise, among other noise sources, is appreciably ... -
On-Demand Energy Harvesting Techniques - A System Level Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)In recent years, energy harvesting has been generating great interests among researchers, scientists and engineers alike. One of the major reasons for this increased interest sterns from the desire to have autonomous ... -
On-line Monitoring and Oscillatory Stability Margin Prediction in Power Systems Based on System Identification
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Poorly damped electromechanical modes detection in a power system and corresponding stability margins prediction are very important in power system planning and operation, and can provide significant help to power system ... -
On-Shell Recursion Relations in General Relativity
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-11)This thesis is a study of the validity and application of the on-shell recursion relations within the theory of General Relativity. These relations are also known as the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) relations. They ... -
On-site Sample Preparation and Introduction to Ion Mobility Spectrometry
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-22)Solid phase microextraction (SPME), needle trap device (NTD), and membrane extraction with a sorbent interface (MESI) are solvent-free sample preparation techniques that were developed to perform the rapid routine analysis ... -
On-Site Sampling and Determination of Aliphatic Amines in Industrial Waste Water using SPME
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-06)In any oil production company, one of the problems that is faced on a daily basis and which sometimes hinders the operation is corrosion. In the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water inside any vessel, tank, or pipeline, ... -
One and Two-Dimensional Mass Spring Computational Model for Phononic Band Gap Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-01)Computation model is presented for mass spring systems of one and two dimensional phononic band gap crystals and micro-electro-mechanical systems. The computation model is veri ed with existing work, and phononic band ... -
One Hand Occupies the Void
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-15)The interconnected nature of void and matter and form is implied in architecture, but rarely explicitly expressed. Since the void is neither form nor material, it is difficult to define, but it occupies a critical role in ... -
One Stone, Three Processes: A Material Culture Study on Queenston Limestone
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-19)Named after the Queenston Quarry, Queenston Limestone is Canada’s highest calibre of building stone for its durable building properties and aesthetics. The stone has been quarried in the St. David’s and Niagara region for ... -
The ‘One Way Journey’: How men experience, navigate, and conceptualize the process of being a caregiver for their wives who have dementia
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-05)Background: The health care system relies heavily on unpaid caregivers, or family, for people living with dementia. As demographics and gender norms shift, more older men will be providing care than ever before. Caring ... -
One-dimensional Nanostructures of Hafnium Oxides: Fabrication with and without Ti/Fe Doping, and Magnetic Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-10)Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in the late 1980s, which marked the emergence of spintronic technology, the integration of conventional semiconductor-based electronics with spintronics has always been ... -
One-dimensional titanium dioxide nanomaterial based memristive device and its neuromorphic computing applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-13)Memristor devices as the alternative to the next-generation non-volatile memory devices has been widely studied recently due to its advantages of simple structure, fast switching speed, low power consumption. Among all the ... -
Oneiric Hut
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)I set out to learn something basic about architecture, something foundational on which to situate the conceptual and rhetorical exercises played within the studio. In settings both academic and professional I had been ... -
Onion Root Anatomy and the Uptake of Sulphate and Phosphate Ions
