NO3- and N2O at the Strawberry Creek Catchment: tracing sources and processes using stable isotopes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-26)Nitrate (NO3) contamination in agricultural watersheds is a widespread problem that threatens local drinking supplies and downstream ecology. Dual isotopes of NO3- (d15N and d18O) have been successfully used to identify ... -
Noble Gas Collision Induced Vibrational Relaxation of (v=1) para-H2
(University of Waterloo, 2001)Close coupling scattering calculations have been conducted for the para spin modification of H<sub>2</sub>-{He, Ne and Ar}. The XC(fit) potential energy surfaces for H<sub>2</sub>-Ne and H<sub>2</sub>-Ar have been used ... -
NOCH: A framework for biologically plausible models of neural motor control
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)This thesis examines the neurobiological components of the motor control system and relates it to current control theory in order to develop a novel framework for models of motor control in the brain. The presented framework ... -
Node Cluster Stability in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)In recent years, efforts have been made to deploy communication capabilities in vehicles and the transport infrastructure, leading to a potential of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In the envisioned VANET, communications ... -
Node-Weighted Prize Collecting Steiner Tree and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)The Steiner Tree problem has appeared in the Karp's list of the first 21 NP-hard problems and is well known as one of the most fundamental problems in Network Design area. We study the Node-Weighted version of the Prize ... -
Noise Analysis and Measurement for Current Mode and Voltage Mode Active Pixel Sensor Readout Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-28)A detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of noise in both current mode and voltage mode amorphous silicon (a-Si) active pixel sensors (APS) has been performed in this study. Both flicker (1/f) and thermal noise ... -
Noise Analysis and Measurement of Integrator-based Sensor Interface Circuits for Fluorescence Detection in Lab-on-a-chip Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-24)Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) biological assays have the potential to fundamentally reform healthcare. The move away from centralized facilities to Point-of-Care (POC) testing of biological assays would improve the speed and accuracy ... -
Noise Characterization of a CMOS X-Ray Image Sensor
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)The objective of this thesis is to validate the noise performance of a high resolution CMOS X-ray imager. We carry out a detailed noise analysis on a four-quadrant CMOS imager and the external hardware. Careful analysis ... -
Noise reduction limits the McGurk Effect
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-02)In the McGurk Effect (McGurk & MacDonald, 1976), a visual depiction of a speaker silently mouthing the syllable [ga]/[ka] is presented concurrently with the auditory input [ba]/[pa], resulting in “fused” [da]/[ta] being ... -
Noise Robust Keyword Spotting Using Deep Neural Networks For Embedded Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)The recent development of embedded platforms along with spectacular growth in communication networking technologies is driving the Internet of things to thrive. More complex tasks are now possible to operate in small devices ... -
Noise Spikes of Relaxation Oscillator from Energy Theoretic Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)An energy theoretic approach to augment the existing noise model is proposed by including the cryogenic (down to 77K) behaviour of the noise spikes due to the regeneration process (when loop gain close to 1) of a relaxation ... -
Noisy Embezzlement of Entanglement and Applications to Entanglement Dilution
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)In this thesis we present the concept of embezzlement of entanglement, its properties, efficiency, possible generalizations and propose the linear programming characterization of this phenomenon. Then, we focus on the noisy ... -
