Application of Stereo-Depth Camera and Alignment Algorithms for Part Monitoring During Machining
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-20)A stereo-depth camera is proposed to be used in conjunction with fiducial markers on a calibration plate and a fine-tuning alignment algorithm for part monitoring in a CNC machine. Together, a selected pyramid-shaped ... -
Application of Textual Feature Extraction to Corporate Bankruptcy Risk Assessment
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-21)The inception of the Internet in the late twentieth century has established the ability to generate a huge volume of data from multitudinous sources in a very short period of time. However, most of this data is presented ... -
Application of the Flag-State Squashing Model to Numerical Quantum Key Distribution Security Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)The squashing model proof technique is a powerful tool in proving security of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols since it reduces the dimension of the associated computational problem from infinite to finite. In the ... -
The application of the in-tree knapsack problem to routing prefix caches
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Modern routers use specialized hardware, such as Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM), to solve the Longest Prefix Matching Problem (LPMP) quickly. Due to the fact that TCAM is a non-standard type of memory and ... -
Application of the LANS-alpha Model to Gravity Currents
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)This thesis aims to investigate how HERCULES performs when running a lock-exchange gravity current case. The LANS-alpha model with stratification is also tested as a subgrid model in HERCULES using the same gravity current ... -
An Application of the Resilience Assessment Workbook on the Town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada: Resilience of What? Resilience to What? Resilience with What?
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)This research involves conducting a resilience assessment on the Town of Caledon in southern Ontario, Canada, through the use of the Resilience Assessment Workbook authored by the Resilience Alliance. The purpose of the ... -
Application of the Theory of Gender and Power to Relationships and Experiences among Middle Eastern and/or Arab Canadians
(University of Waterloo, 2007-08-07)Background. The study explored associations between factors derived from the application of the Theory of Gender and Power (TGP) as they relate to HIV-risk behaviour among Middle Eastern/Arab-Canadians. This area deserves ... -
Application of Transit AVL/APC Data for Network Wide Monitoring of the Performance of Signalized Intersections
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-19)The quality of service in urban transportation networks is determined mainly by the performance of the intersections. In particular, signalized intersections play a significant role in regulating the traffic in urban ... -
Application of Turbo-Codes in Digital Communications
(University of Waterloo, 2001)This thesis aims at providing results and insight towards the application of turbo-codes in digital communication systems, mainly in three parts. The first part considers systems of combined turbo-code and modulation. ... -
Application-Based Measures for Developing Cyber-Resilient Control and Protection Schemes in Power Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-04)Electric power systems are a part of the most-crucial infrastructure on which societies depend. In order to operate efficiently and reliably, the physical layer in large electric power networks is coupled with a cyber ... -
Applications of Adiabatic Approximation to One- and Two-electron Phenomena in Strong Laser Fields
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-20)The adiabatic approximation is a natural approach for the description of phenomena induced by low frequency laser radiation because the ratio of the laser frequency to the characteristic frequency of an atom or a molecule ... -
Applications of Artificial Intelligence to the NHL Entry Draft
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-31)This thesis investigates the application of various fields of artificial intelligence to the domain of sports management and analysis. The research in this thesis is primarily focussed on the entry draft for the National ... -
Applications of Bilinear Maps in Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2002)It was recently discovered by Joux [30] and Sakai, Ohgishi and Kasahara [47] that bilinear maps could be used to construct cryptographic schemes. Since then, bilinear maps have been used in applications as varied as ... -
Applications of claim investigation in insurance surplus and claims models
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-03)Claim investigation is a fundamental part of an insurer's business. Queues form as claims accumulate and claims are investigated according to some queueing mechanism. The natural existence of queues in this context prompts ... -
Applications of Crossmodal Relationships in Interfaces for Complex Systems: A Study of Temporal Synchrony
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-13)Current multimodal interfaces for complex systems, such as those designed using the Ecological Interface Design (EID) methodology, have largely focused on effective design of interfaces that treat each sensory modality as ... -
