(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)Humidity sensors are one of the most widely used sensors in commercial and industrial applications for environmental monitoring and controlling. Although related technology have been studied intensively, humidity sensing ... -
Ordering, Indexing, and Searching Semantic Data: A Terminology Aware Index Structure
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-16)Indexing data for efficient search capabilities is a core problem in many domains of computer science. As applications centered around semantic data sources become more common, the need for more sophisticated indexing ... -
The Ordinal Serial Encoding Model: Serial Memory in Spiking Neurons
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-26)In a world dominated by temporal order, memory capable of processing, encoding and subsequently recalling ordered information is very important. Over the decades this memory, known as serial memory, has been extensively ... -
Ordinary and Generalized Circulation Algebras for Regular Matroids
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Let E be a finite set, and let R(E) denote the algebra of polynomials in indeterminates (x_e)_{e in E}, modulo the squares of these indeterminates. Subalgebras of R(E) generated by homogeneous elements of degree 1 have ... -
The ordinary Niagara Falls
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-11)Tourism is a practice traditionally geared away from the ordinary; by virtue of its opposition from everyday life tourism is an act through which we see and do extraordinary things (Urry, 1992). Over time, tourism scholars ... -
Organic and Inorganic Nanostructured Materials as Electrodes for Hybrid Capacitors
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-03)Global energy demands are expected to continuously grow in the coming decades, while the dominant source of energy remains finite fossil fuels. In addition to this challenge, excessive consumption of fossil fuels has ... -
Organic matter decomposition at a constructed fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region in Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-13)Resource mining and extraction in northern Alberta has resulted in substantial disturbances across a variety of ecosystems, including fen peatlands. Provincial regulations require companies to reclaim disturbed areas to ... -
