Digital Craft | In Search of a Method of Personal Expression Within the Digital
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-23)Our relationship with the digital has fundamentally changed within the past decade. A mesh of outside interests have been efficiently folding themselves into our lives. These exist as either a legion of hosted “free” web ... -
Digital Darwin: Editing The Loves of the Plants as a Case Study of the Theory and Practice of Digital Editions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-26)Digital scholarly editing is an evolving field that allows for the rendering of complex print works that are rife with paratextual material. Erasmus Darwin’s The Loves of the Plants represents this kind of paratextually ... -
Digital Dialogism: Space, Time, and Queerness in Video Games
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-04)Video games are multimodal pieces of media; they communicate meaning through many layers of signification including aural, visual, narrative, mechanical, and more. To understand the ways that games communicate meaning and ... -
Digital Innocence
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-16)Screens mediate an ever-increasing part of our experience today. While the space within our screens is indispensable - as perceptually ‘real’ as embodied experience itself - this space tends to exclude the hands and body ... -
Digital Predistortion of Frequency-Multipliers-Based Wideband Millimeter-Wave Sources
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-16)Radio frequency (RF) technology has seen unprecedented advancements over the past few decades. These advancements have been driven by continuously growing demand for wireless networks with higher capacity and radar and ... -
Digital Predistortion of Millimeter-Wave Phased Antenna Arrays
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-07)The cost of deployment of reliable, high-throughput, fifth-generation (5G) millimeter-wave (mm-wave) base stations will depend significantly on the maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) that the base ... -
Digital Radio Encoding and Power Amplifier Design for Multimode and Multiband Wireless Communications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)The evolution of wireless technology has necessitated the support of multiple communication standards by mobile devices. At present, multiple chipsets/radios operating at predefined sets of modulation schemes, frequency ... -
Digital Rights Management and Code Obfuscation
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Digital Rights Management (DRM) involves retaining control over digital information, even after it has been made public. Preventing illegal file sharing on the Internet, which is a topic that has recently received a large ... -
Digital Signature Scheme Variations
(University of Waterloo, 2002)A digital signature scheme is the process of signing an electronic message that can be transmitted over a computer network. Digital signatures provide message authentication that can be proved to a third party. With ... -
Digital Signature Schemes Based on Hash Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-19)Cryptographers and security experts around the world have been awakened to the reality that one day (potentially soon) large-scale quantum computers may be available. Most of the public-key cryptosystems employed today on ... -
Digital Signcryption
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Signcryption is a new cryptographic primitive which simultaneously provides both confidentiality and authenticity. Previously, these two goals had been considered separately, with encryption schemes providing confidentiality ... -
Digital Terrain Models Generation from Airborne LiDAR Point Clouds Using A Multi-scale Terrain Filtering Method
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is an important topographic product, required in many applications. Data needed to create a DTM was traditionally obtained via land surveying, however this method can be costly and time consuming ... -
Digital Timing Control in SRAMs for Yield Enhancement and Graceful Aging Degradation
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-16)Embedded SRAMs can occupy the majority of the chip area in SOCs. The increase in process variation and aging degradation due to technology scaling can severely compromise the integrity of SRAM memory cells, hence resulting ... -
Digital Tuft Flow Visualisation of Wind Turbine Blade Stall
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-20)Wind turbines installed in the open atmosphere experience much more complex and highly-varying flow than their counterparts in wind tunnels or numerical simulations. In particular, aerodynamic stall—which occurs often on ... -
