Concurrency in C∀
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)C∀ is a modern, non-object-oriented extension of the C programming language. This thesis serves as a definition and an implementation for the concurrency and parallelism C∀ offers. These features are created from scratch ... -
Concurrent Data Structures Using Multiword Compare and Swap
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-04)To maximize the performance of concurrent data structures, researchers have turned to highly complex fine-grained techniques. Resulting algorithms are often extremely difficult to understand and prove correct, allowing for ... -
Concurrent Dual-band Doherty Power Amplifiers for Carrier Aggregation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-21)Carrier aggregation is the main feature of the Long Term Evolution advanced (LTE-A) standard to increase the spectral efficiency and communication bandwidth. It calls for wireless transmitters to be multi-band and ... -
Concurrent Error Detection in Finite Field Arithmetic Operations
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-03)With significant advances in wired and wireless technologies and also increased shrinking in the size of VLSI circuits, many devices have become very large because they need to contain several large units. This large number ... -
Concurrent High-performance Persistent Hash Table In Java
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-24)Current trading systems must handle both high volumes of trading and large amounts of trading data. One crucial module in high-performance trading is fast storage and retrieval of large volumes of data simultaneously ... -
A Concurrent IFDS Dataflow Analysis Algorithm Using Actors
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-28)There has recently been a resurgence in interest in techniques for effective programming of multi-core computers. Most programmers find general-purpose concurrent programming to be extremely difficult. This difficulty ... -
Concurrent Implementation of Packet Processing Algorithms on Network Processors
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Network Processor Units (NPUs) are a compromise between software-based and hardwired packet processing solutions. While slower than hardwired solutions, NPUs have the flexibility of software-based solutions, allowing ... -
Concurrent Multi-Band Envelope Tracking Power Amplifiers for Emerging Wireless Communications
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-21)Emerging wireless communication is shifting toward data-centric broadband services, resulting in employment of sophisticated and spectrum efficient modulation and access techniques. This yields communication signals with ... -
Condemned to a Perpetual Jacuzzi… With Millions of Your Best Friends
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-21)Condemned to a Perpetual Jacuzzi… With Millions of Your Best friends is a multi-media exhibition that investigates the personal, the socio-political and the cultural notions of home. The mind’s vision of home is most often ... -
Condition Assessment of Cemented Materials Using Ultrasonic Surface Waves
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)Mechanical waves provide information about the stiffness and the condition of a medium; thus, changes in medium conditions can be inferred from changes in wave velocity and attenuation. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods ... -
Condition Assessment of Concrete Elements through Two Nondestructive Ultrasonic Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-13)Reinforced concrete is one of the materials most used in civil infrastructure, and the expected service life is generally for several decades. However, as any other material, concrete performance is affected by environmental ... -
Condition Assessment of In-Service Pendulum Tuned Mass Dampers
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are auxiliary damping devices installed within tall structures to reduce undesirable wind-induced vibrations and to enhance the overall system damping and hence, the dissipative capacity. The ... -
Condition Assessment of Power Transformer Winding Insulation Based on Partial Discharge Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-26)Power transformers are important components of power systems, as their failure can result in major losses to electric utilities. Transformer windings are responsible for approximately 30% of transformer failures. A principal ... -
Condition-based Inspection and Maintenance of Medical Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-25)Inspection and Maintenance of medical devices are essential for modern health services, but the low availability of devices or unnecessary maintenance can cause major problems. A proper maintenance program can signi ... -
Conditional Decoding for X Channels
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-19)The conditional decoder is a low complexity and optimal decoder for multiplexed orthogonal designs in point-to-point channels. We extend this notion to X channels and differentiate between two interference scenarios. First, ... -
Conditional Moment Closure Methods for Turbulent Combustion Modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2013-03-28)This thesis describes the application of the first-order Conditional Moment Closure (CMC) to the autoignition of high-pressure fuel jets, and to piloted and lifted turbulent jet flames using classical and advanced CMC ... -
Conditional Probability in Visual Search
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)I investigated the effects of probability on visual search. Previous work has shown that people can utilize spatial and sequential probability information to improve their performance on visual attention tasks. My task was ... -
Conditional Scenario Generation with a GVAR Model
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-15)The stress-testing method formed an integral part of the practice of risk management. However, the underlying models for scenarios generation have not been much studied so far. In past practice, the users typically did ... -
Conditioning Community: Power and Decision-Making in Transitioning an Industry-based Community
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-11)While it is well understood that many resource-based communities are transitioning to tourism to provide a new economic foundation, few studies have probed in-depth the rationale and mechanisms influencing decision-making ... -
