Intelligent Vehicle Development through Scalable Data Collection Processes and Simulation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)With current automotive trends in both vehicle electrification and intelligent features such as Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), there is a significant need for a modern vehicle development process which makes ... -
Intelligentia Spiritualis: Platonism, the Latin Polemical Tradition, and the Renaissance Approach to the Prophetic Sense of History
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-25)This study sheds light on key figures and trends in the medieval Latin West that influenced the intellectual lives of the humanist theologians Marsilio Ficino (1433–99) and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–94), specifically ... -
Intense laser field ionization of atom and molecular ion
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-24)In order to understand how does the intense laser interact with matter we first of all study the ionization process. In this highly nonlinear region the conventional perturbation theory will fail to predict the experimental ... -
Intensifying Toronto
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-13)How cities grow is set to change. In the Greater Toronto Area, both Ontario’s Greenbelt Plan and Growth Plan for the Golden Greater Horseshoe are set to have a significant impact on how and where urban growth will occur ... -
The Intensity of the Insight Experience in Problem Solving: Structural and Dynamic Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-19)Field theory of Lewin was used to analyze the experience of insight problem solving. It was proposed that insight is characterized by the intensity of the experience at the moment of solution. It was argued that the intensity ... -
Intent Classification during Human-Robot Contact
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-15)Robots are used in many areas of industry and automation. Currently, human safety is ensured through physical separation and safeguards. However, there is increasing interest in allowing robots and humans to work in close ... -
The Intentional Base-on-ball Phenomenon in Baseball: A Statistical Analysis and Strategic Recommendations
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The game of baseball is amenable to a variety of strategies that affect short-term outcomes. This paper employs regression analysis, simulation, and cognitive analysis of mental biases to analyze the strategic scenario ... -
Intentionality as Methodology
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-25)In this dissertation, I examine the role that intentional descriptions play in our scientific study of the mind. Behavioural scientists often use intentional language in their characterization of cognitive systems, making ... -
Inter-item associations and memory for order
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-26)Remembering the order in which a sequence of events occurred can be an invaluable function of memory. Although important, the quality of memory for order information has been shown to be significantly affected by the way ... -
Inter-municpial Partnerships and Community Identity: A Case Study of the Pictou County Wellness Centre
(University of Waterloo, 2011-07-08)Community identity is a concept involving a web of relationships whereby a committed group of people emotionally identify with a shared set of values, norms, meanings and history. When municipalities co-operate, concerns ... -
Interaction and linkage in the Canadian tobacco control community: Implications for the research process
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-28)Study Purpose: This research aimed to: (1) understand interactions between researchers and policy-makers in the Canadian tobacco control research community and, (2) explore the relationship between interaction and alignment ... -
Interaction Between Forming and Crashworthiness of Advanced High Strength Steel S-Rails
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis presents the results of experimental and numerical investigations carried out to assess the effects of tube bending and hydroforming on the crash performance of s-rail structures manufactured from three different ... -
Interaction Between Forming and the Crash Response of Aluminium Alloy S-Rails
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-04)One of the principal energy absorbing structural components that influences the crashworthiness of a vehicle is the side-rail, which is also commonly referred to as an s-rail due to its shape that is reminiscent of an “s”. ... -
The interaction between retrieval and encoding processes in memory
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)In memory, encoding and retrieval are often conceived of as two separate processes. However, there is substantial evidence to suggest that this view is wrong—that they are instead highly interdependent processes. One recent ... -
Interaction Design for Mixed-Focus Collaboration in Cross-Device Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-20)The proliferation of interactive technologies has resulted in a multitude of form factors for computer devices, such as tablets and phones, and large tabletop and wall displays. Investigating how these devices may be used ... -
Interaction Forces in Coupled Magnetic Pendulums
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-22)In this research, we investigated the non-linear motion and magnetic forces in a chain of magnetic pendulums with cylindrical magnets to eventually better understand the be- haviour of Josephson junction-effect devices. ... -
Interaction of Brain Cancer Stem Cells and the Tumour Microenvironment: A Computational Study
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-10)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumours, with a median patient survival time of 6-12 months in adults. It has been recently suggested that a typically small sub-population ... -
Interaction of Chemical Oxidants with Aquifer Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a leading-edge technology for soil and groundwater remediation, and involves injecting a chemical oxidant (e. g. , permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, or persulfate) into the subsurface ... -
