Extended Range Electric Vehicle Powertrain Simulation and Comparison with Consideration of Fuel Cell and Metal-air Battery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-14)The automotive industry has been in a period of energy transformation from fossil fuels to a clean energy economy due to the economic pressures resulting from the energy crisis and the need for stricter environmental ... -
Extended thermodynamics of Taub-NUT and Einstein-scalar spacetimes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-12)The main objective of this thesis is to summarize recent developments on the thermodynamics of both AdS Einstein-scalar spacetimes and Lorentzian Taub-NUT spacetimes. We summarize and apply well-known techniques in black ... -
Extending Cognitive Work Analysis and Engaging Nanotechnology: Embodied, Embedded and Socially Situated Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-15)With current advances in material science and the growth of novel technologies, the nature of human technology interaction is changing. Specifically, the growth and convergence of Nano-, Bio-, Info- and Cognitive Science ... -
Extending Pappus' Theorem
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-22)Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be matroids such that $M_2$ arises from $M_1$ by relaxing a circuit-hyperplane. We will prove that if $M_1$ and $M_2$ are both representable over some finite field $GF(q)$, then $M_1$ and $M_2$ have ... -
Extensible Architecture for Superconducting Quantum Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-09)Quantum computing architectures with ten or more quantum bits (qubits) have been implemented using trapped ions and superconducting devices. The next milestone in the quest for a quantum computer is the realization of ... -
Extensible Modeling of Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)There is a growing number of renewable energy sources that can supply power to the electrical grid. These renewable sources of energy are intermittent in nature and therefore the transition from using fossil fuels to ... -
Extensions of Galvin's Theorem
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)We discuss problems in list coloring with an emphasis on techniques that utilize oriented graphs. Our central theme is Galvin's resolution of the Dinitz problem (Galvin. J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 63(1), 1995, 153--158). We ... -
Extensions of Randomized Benchmarking
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-18)The characterization of noisy quantum circuits is an important step in the development of large-scale quantum computers. As experimental quantum architectures approach the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computing, ... -
Extensions of Signed Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)Given a signed graph (G, Σ) with an embedding on a surface S, we are interested in "extending" (G, Σ) by adding edges and splitting vertices, such that the resulting graph has no embedding on S. We show (assuming 3-connectivity ... -
An Extensive Green Bond Market Analysis from 2015 to 2021
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-13)Climate change is indubitably one of the biggest challenges for humanity in the coming decades. While the interest in solving this problem has been increasing recently, the window to minimize the temperature increase to ... -
Extracellular Electron Transport in Microbial Electrochemical Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-30)Microbial electrochemical cells (MxCs) are engineered biological systems that use microbial metabolism of anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) to catalyze electron transfer from a soluble electron donor to the anode via extracellular ... -
Extracting and Cleaning RDF Data
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)The RDF data model has become a prevalent format to represent heterogeneous data because of its versatility. The capability of dismantling information from its native formats and representing it in triple format offers a ... -
Extracting ECG-based cardiac information from the upper arm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-24)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the global number one cause of death. Therefore, there is an acute need for constantly monitoring cardiac conditions and/or cardiac monitoring for extended periods. The current clinical ... -
Extracting Non-Functional Requirements from Unstructured Text
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)Non-functional requirements (NFRs) of a software system describe desired quality attributes rather than specific user-visible features; NFRs model stakeholder expectations about pervasive system properties such as performance, ... -
Extraction and Concentration of Glutathione from Yeast
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Glutathione is a tripeptide present in most mammalian tissue. It has a great variety of significant physiological functions, such as regulating cell growth and division; helping DNA synthesis and repair. Glutathione can ... -
Extraction of Digital Terrain Models from Airborne Laser Scanning Data based on Transfer-Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)With the rapid urbanization, timely and comprehensive urban thematic and topographic information is highly needed. Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), as one of unique urban topographic information, directly affect subsequent ... -
Extremely fast (a,b)-trees at all contention levels
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)Many concurrent dictionary implementations are designed and evaluated with only low-contention workloads in mind. This thesis presents several concurrent linearizable (a,b)-tree implementations with the overarching goal ... -
Extremely Partisan Samples Impact Perceptions of Political Group Beliefs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-05)Accurately inferring the beliefs of a partisan group (e.g. Democrats, Republicans) can be challenging when exposed to extremely partisan beliefs from that group. Across two studies (total N = 566), we tested whether people ... -
