Dynamics and Model-Predictive Anti-Jerk Control of Connected Electric Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-14)Electric Vehicles (EVs) develop high torque at low speeds, resulting in a high rate of acceleration. However, the rapid rise in torque of an electric motor creates undesired torsional oscillations, with vehicle jerk arising ... -
Dynamics of a Three_Wheel Vehicle with Tadpole Design
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)This study investigates the effect of applying camber angle on the handling, lateral stability, and ride comfort of a three-wheeled vehicle, which has two wheels in the front and one in the back, known as a tadpole design. ... -
The Dynamics of Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Analysis of Aquatic Organisms within the Grand River Watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-28)Stable isotope analysis is a tool employed in ecological studies to provide information on the movement of elements and energy through a system. The stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of aquatic organisms has been ... -
Dynamics of Gyroelastic Continua
(University of Waterloo, 2014-03-07)This work is concerned with the theoretical development of dynamic equations for gyroelastic systems which are dynamic systems with four basic types of continuous mechanical influences, i.e. inertia, elasticity, damping, ... -
The Dynamics of Inhomogeneous Cosmologies
(University of Waterloo, 2004)In this thesis we investigate cosmological models more general than the isotropic and homogeneous Friedmann-Lemaître models. We focus on cosmologies with one spatial degree of freedom, whose matter content ... -
Dynamics of Nanoparticles Assembly at the Interface of a Nematic Liquid Crystal Droplet
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)Up-to-date technological applications of liquid crystal (LC)-based devices have relied on the nematic LC materials in the form of drops or emulsions stabilized by surfactants. Adsorption of nanoparticles at liquid interfaces ... -
Dynamics of Parent-Child Relationships and Conflict in Chinese, Eastern European and European Canadian Families
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-11)In my thesis, I studied patterns of associations between the quality of parent-child relations and components of parent-child conflict in families with preadolescent children from European Canadian families, as well as ... -
Dynamics of polymer thin films and surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-18)The dynamics of thin polymer films display many differences from the bulk dynamics. Different modes of motions in polymers are affected by confinement in different ways. The enhancement in the dynamics of some modes of ... -
Dynamics of Quantum Information of the Central Spin Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-17)Environmental effects on the evolution of a spin system in the context of the central spin problem, have been studied for more than 60 years. With the growing complexity of quantum information processors there is a new ... -
Dynamics of spatial attention during motion tracking: Characterization and modeling as a function of motion predictability
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-24)Efficient information processing in ecological environments relies on spatial attention to selectively process relevant areas in the visual field. Attention has been shown to be biased ahead of simple, uniform target motion ... -
The Dynamics of the Beaufort Gyre
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-23)The Beaufort gyre is located in the Canadian Arctic basin and is responsible for the dominant circulation of the Beaufort Sea. Currently, the gyre flows in an anti-cyclonic direction, which leads to the deflection of fresh ... -
Dynamics of the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model and average case complexity for top eigenvectors
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-28)In this Master’s thesis, we investigate the Langevin dynamics on the spherical Sherrington- Kirkpatrick (SSK) model, a classical mean-field spin glass model. The first contribution of this thesis is the asymptotic limit ... -
Dysphoria and facial emotion recognition: Examining the role of rumination
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-12)Rumination has been shown to be an influential part of the depressive experience, impacting on various cognitive processes including memory and attention. However, there is a dearth of studies examining the relationship ... -
Dystopian Present and Future: The Temporal Orientation of Evgenii Zamiatin’s We and Andrei Platonov’s The Foundation Pit
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-03)A recent genre study by Erika Gottlieb (2001) divides dystopian literature into two temporal categories, which she calls West and East. Within this framework, Gottlieb places Evgenii Zamiatin’s We (1921) within her Western ... -
E-beam Lithography using Dry Powder HSQ Resist Having Long Shelf Life and Nanogap Electrode Fabrication
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-28)As the industry of nanofabrication developing, high-resolution e-beam lithography (EBL) becomes more and more important. In this thesis, it is discussed that the effective factors behind the resolution of EBL and how it ... -
E-commerce Growth and Mobile Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)As with ordinary in-store shopping, product characteristics affect an individual’s online purchase decisions. The variety of devices used to access the Internet also affects the probability of engaging in e-commerce. The ... -
E-Intelligence Form Design and Data Preprocessing in Health Care
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Clinical data systems continue to grow as a result of the proliferation of features that are collected and stored. Demands for accurate and well-organized clinical data have intensified due to the increased focus on ... -
