An Evaluation of Contextual Suggestion
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)This thesis examines techniques that can be used to evaluate systems that solve the complex task of suggesting points of interest to users. A traveller visiting an unfamiliar, foreign city might be looking for a place to ... -
Evaluation of Control Modalities in Highly Automated Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-01)Autonomous driving vehicles are classified by researchers into six levels, ranging from 0 to 5. The level of autonomy increases with the level number, with vehicles at levels 4 or 5 possessing the capability for full ... -
Evaluation of Controlled Tile Drainage on Limiting Edge of Field Phosphorus Losses in a Clay Soil in a Cold Agricultural Region
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)This study examined edge of field (EOF) discharge and phosphorus (P) losses from a Brookston clay soil in a cold agricultural region over four years and quantified the influence of controlled tile drainage (CD) on seasonal ... -
Evaluation of Conventional and Novel Dietary Strategies to Promote Intake of Omega-3 Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)Intakes of the highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA, ≥20 Carbons, ≥3 double bonds) eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) greater than 0.25 g/d are currently recommended for health ... -
Evaluation of Different Graphene Manufacturing: Structure, Composition, and Electrochemical Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-28)Graphene is a two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Its thickness is one atom, making it the thinnest material in existence. Graphene has unique properties that make it suitable ... -
