Channel Allocation for Smooth Video Delivery over Cognitive Radio Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)Video applications normally demand stringent quality-of-service (QoS) for the high quality and smooth video playback at the receiver. Since the network is usually shared by multiple applications with diverse QoS requirements, ... -
Channel Based Relay Attack Detection Protocol
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)A relay attack is a potentially devastating form of a man-in-the-middle attack, that can circumvent any challenge-response authentication protocol. A relay attack also has no known cryptographic solution. This thesis ... -
Channel Estimation and Equalization for Cooperative Communication
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The revolutionary concept of space-time coding introduced in the last decade has demonstrated that the deployment of multiple antennas at the transmitter allows for simultaneous increase in throughput and reliability because ... -
Channel estimation for Amplify and Forward Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-16)Cooperative diversity has been proposed as a powerful means to enhance the performance of high-rate communications over wireless fading channels. It realizes spatial diversity advantages in a distributed manner where two ... -
Channel-aware and Queue-aware Scheduling for Integrated WiMAX and EPON
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)By envisioning that the future broadband access networks have to support many bandwidth consuming applications, such as VoIP, IPTV, VoD, and HDTV, the integration of WiMAX and EPON networks have been taken as one of the ... -
Channel-based Physical Layer Authentication
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-01)The characteristics of the wireless physical layer can be exploited to complement and enhance traditional security. In this thesis, we study the channel-based physical layer authentication. The authentication problem is ... -
Chaos and dynamical instability in a closed kicked system
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-08)Quantum-classical correspondence plays an important role in understanding the emergence of classical chaos from underlying quantum mechanics. However, the transition from quantum to classical is not straightforward. Here ... -
Chaos synchronization and its application to secure communication
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-10)Chaos theory is well known as one of three revolutions in physical sciences in 20th-century, as one physicist called it: Relativity eliminated the Newtonian illusion of absolute space and time; quantum theory eliminated ... -
Chaotic Advection for Enhanced Reagent Mixing
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-17)In situ remediation techniques commonly involve the injection of a reagent into the subsurface to create a zone in which biological and/or chemical reactions lead to mass destruction of contaminants. In these injection-driven ... -
Chaoulli v. Québec (Attorney General): Understanding Provincial Reactions to the Decision
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)This thesis focuses on provincial reactions to the Supreme Court decision on 5 June 2005, Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General). In this decision, the Court struck down the government of Québec’s ban on private insurance ... -
Character Polynomials and Lagrange Inversion
(University of Waterloo, 2005)In this thesis, we investigate two expressions for symmetric group characters: Kerov?s universal character polynomials and Stanley?s character polynomials. We give a new explicit form for Kerov?s polynomials, which ... -
Characterisation and Analysis of Catastrophic Landslides and Related Processes using Digital Topographic Data
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-14)This thesis represents a large body of work that seeks to describe, quantify, and simulate the behaviour of large rock slope failures (> 1 Mm³), in the form of landslides and rock avalanches, and their secondary processes, ... -
Characterisation and modeling of precipitation kinetics and yield strength in variously treated 7000-series aluminum alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)This thesis investigates the effects of: (a) various aging practices, and (b) deformation during a warm-forming cycle, on the precipitation hardening response and aging kinetics of AA7050 and AA7075, respectively. The ... -
Characterisation and Optimization of Ultrashort Laser Pulses
(University of Waterloo, 2003)The ultrafast optical regime is defined, as it applies to laser pulses, along with a brief introduction to pulse generation and characterisation technologies. A more extensive description of our particular amplified ... -
Characterising changes in adhesion and enzyme activity related to drug resistance in colon cancer cells
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-21)Metastatic colorectal cancer is often fatal, and drug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is one of the primary contributing factors to this lethality. Drug resistance arises from exposure to chemotherapies, and it can ... -
The Characteristics of Effective Environmental Education Programs - An exploration of the perceptions of environmental educators in Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)The intensification of Ontario’s communities through recent policies such as the Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan (GGH) will reduce the amount of local natural spaces for residents. Presently many of Ontario’s youth ... -
Characterization and Analysis of Continuous Wave Terahertz Photomixers
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-25)In recent years, Terahertz (THz) technology has become a very active field of research in regards to its wide range of potential applications such as biosensing, biomedical imaging, pharmaceutical, security, and many others. ... -
Characterization and Analysis of the Microbiota of Bangia atropurpurea and other Freshwater and Marine Algae in North America
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-14)Algae are a diverse polyphyletic group of photosynthetic organisms that contribute to forming rich ecosystems within marine and freshwater habitats. Many factors contribute to algal function and growth, such as the chemistry ... -
