Interference Management in MIMO Wireless Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-17)The scarce and overpopulated radio spectrum is going to present a major barrier to the growth and development of future wireless networks. As such, spectrum sharing seems to be inevitable to accommodate the exploding ... -
Interference Management in Non-cooperative Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-27)Spectrum sharing is known as a key solution to accommodate the increasing number of users and the growing demand for throughput in wireless networks. While spectrum sharing improves the data rate in sparse networks, it ... -
Interference-Aware Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-05)User demand for seamless connectivity has encouraged the development of alternatives to traditional communications infrastructure networks. Potential solutions have to be low-cost, easily deployable and adaptive to the ... -
Interfering with episodic memory for words and pictures to uncover their representational codes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-09)In this thesis, a divided attention paradigm was used to infer the representational codes used by words and pictures in long-term memory. Semantically categorized lists of words (Expt. 1) or pictures (Expt. 2, 3, 4, and ... -
Interfering With Memory Retrieval: The Cost of Doing Two Things at Once
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)A dual-task paradigm was used to infer the processes critical for episodic memory retrieval by measuring susceptibility to memory interference from different distracting tasks. Research suggests that retrieval interference ... -
An Interior
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-27)The work An Interior is a painted room. It grew from the proposition, ‘What if I painted wallpaper?’ This proposition is related to my ongoing interest in the psychological and social functions of decor and labour spent ... -
Interior Point Cutting Plane Methods in Integer Programming
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-22)This thesis presents novel approaches that use interior point concepts in solving mixed integer programs. Particularly, we use the analytic center cutting plane method to improve three of the main components of the ... -
Interior-Point Algorithms Based on Primal-Dual Entropy
(University of Waterloo, 2006)We propose a family of search directions based on primal-dual entropy in the context of interior point methods for linear programming. This new family contains previously proposed search directions in the context of ... -
Intermediate and Low Level Nuclear Waste Stabilisation: Carbonation of Cement-based Wasteforms
(University of Waterloo, 2003)Carbonation is a naturally-occurring process whereby Ca-containing cement phases lose their hydration water and are converted to carbonate minerals by reaction with atmospheric CO₂. As these secondary minerals ... -
The Intermodal Metropolis: Spatial Protocols at the Convergence of Regional Mobility Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-12)Suburban Centres were established in the Toronto region as the population dispersed beyond the city’s borders. Intended as a set of delivery points for municipal services and concentrations of commercial and social program ... -
An Internal Benchmarking and Metrics (BM&M) Model for Industrial Construction Enterprise to Understand the Impact of Practices Implementation Level on Construction Productivity
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-14)Construction productivity improvement is a key concern for construction companies and the industry. Productivity in construction is a complex issue because: (1) it is influenced by multiple factors interactively; and (2) ... -
Internal Control Quality as an Explanatory Factor of Tax Avoidance
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-11)Internal control disclosures mandated by section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) are designed to provide information about a firm’s financial reporting quality and in doing so may offer information on firm-specific tax ... -
Internal Wave Generation and Near-Resonant Interactions: Theory and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Near-resonant triad interactions and wave generation theory are investigated for continuously stratified fluids. Interaction equations are derived for spatially-varying wave trains under the inviscid Boussinesq approximation. ... -
Internal Wave Interaction with Broad Topography in the Presence of a Near-Bottom Stratification
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-02)This thesis considers the impact of internal waves on the transport of suspended matter across the bottom boundary layer. High resolution two- and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of fully nonlinear, ... -
Internally Contracted Multireference Coupled Cluster Method and Normal-Order-Based Automatic Code Generator
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Single reference coupled cluster theory has been established as the method of choice for calculating electronic properties of small-to-medium size molecules. However, in typical multireference cases, such as bond breaking ... -
Internet Congestion Control: Modeling and Stability Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-27)The proliferation and universal adoption of the Internet has made it become the key information transport platform of our time. Congestion occurs when resource demands exceed the capacity, which results in poor performance ... -
Internet GIS for Air Quality Information Service for Dalian, China
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Since the 1970s, environmental monitoring in China has formed a complete web across the country with over 2000 monitoring stations. China State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) has published an annual report ... -
Interorganizational Partner Selection as Negotiation: A Study of Two Distance Education Consortia
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The choice of appropriate collaborative partners has consistently been reported as a key issue for contemporary managers. This study reports findings from a study which explored the process and criteria of partner ... -
Interpersonal Consequences of Self-Disclosures: The effect of self-esteem on perceived risks of self-disclosure
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Frequency of self-disclosure has been linked to many benefits for relationships, but people tend to dislike those who frequently disclose negativity. Individuals lower in self-esteem (LSEs) self-disclose less than individuals ... -
