(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-21)A touch off true North from Vienna’s core, a grand boulevard begins to parade counterclockwise from the Donaukanal, around the Historic City Center until it meets the water once more. Over 160 years after its inauguration, ... -
View from a Body: Situating the Lived Experience of Painful Obsessions and Compulsions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-18)Painful obsessions and compulsions have been traditionally consigned to the realm of mental illness. However, an investigation into the lived experience of these tendencies demonstrates that they constitute embodied forms ... -
ViewDF: a Flexible Framework for Incremental View Maintenance in Stream Data Warehouses
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-20)Because of the increasing data sizes and demands for low latency in modern data analysis, the traditional data warehousing technologies are greatly pushed beyond their limits. Several stream data warehouse (SDW) systems, ... -
Viewing Trends in Graph Connectivity as Early Warnings of Epidemics and Vaccine Crises
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-15)When measles was rampant, suffering apparent, and relief desired, the prospect of vaccination was received with open arms by a grateful public. But it worked \emph{too} well, and opinions slowly diverged; scientists saw ... -
Viewport- and World-based Personal Device Point-Select Interactions in the Augmented Reality
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-20)Personal smart devices have demonstrated a variety of efficient techniques for pointing and selecting on physical displays. However, when migrating these input techniques to augmented reality, it is both unclear what the ... -
A Views-Based Design Framework for Web Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Web application design is a broad term that refers to any aspect of designing a Web application, including designing Web interfaces to data. There are a number of commercial software tools available that employ various ... -
Villa Canadensis - The Ontario Cottage as an instrument of rehabilitation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)The tradition of the summer cottage in Ontario is a testament to Canadians’ close identification with the wilderness. This thesis establishes a link between the Ontario cottage and the ancient villa originating in classical ... -
Villagers’ Life Transformation and Community Governance in China’s Land Expropriation-induced Resettlement Neighborhoods: A Shanghai Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)In China, urban lands belong to the state and rural lands belong to village collectives. To meet the demand for land to use in expansive urbanization, the state expropriates rural land from village collectives and offers ... -
Violation of an augmented set of Leggett-Garg inequalities and the implementation of a continuous in time velocity measurement
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-11)Macroscopic realism (MR) is the view that a system may possess definite properties at any time independent of past or future measurements, and may be tested experimentally using the Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs). In ... -
Violence, Conflict, and World Order: Rethinking War with a Complex Systems Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)This thesis employs a complex systems approach to argue that the nature of violent conflict coevolves with broader features of world order. The first chapter demonstrates that International Relations and Comparative ... -
