a-Si:H-Silicon Hybrid Low Energy X-ray Detector
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Low energy X-ray (< 20 keV) detection is a key technological requirement in applications such as protein crystallography or diffraction imaging. Silicon based optical cameras based on CCDs or CMOS imaging chips coupled to ... -
Association Between Industrial Wind Turbine Noise and Sleep Quality in a Comparison Sample of Rural Ontarians
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-21)Background: Wind turbines (WTs) are an emerging source of renewable energy in Ontario. One concern is that aerodynamic and mechanical noise produced by the WTs results in sleep disturbance in residents living near such ... -
Bimodal Gate Oxide Breakdown in Sub-100 nm CMOS Technology
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-19)In the last three decades, the electronic industry has registered a tremendous progress. The continuous and aggressive downsizing of the transistor feature sizes (CMOS scaling) has been the main driver of the astonishing ... -
Characterizing Noise in Quantum Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2012-07-26)In practice, quantum systems are not completely isolated from their environment and the resulting system-environment interaction can lead to information leakage from the system. As a result, if a quantum system is to be ... -
Computational Acoustic Beamforming of Noise Source on Wind Turbine Airfoil
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-08)A new method, Computational Acoustic Beamforming, is proposed in this thesis. This novel numerical sound source localization methodology combines the advantages of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and ... -
The Effects of Quantum Error Correction on Noisy Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Full accuracy simulations of quantum systems are very costly, and as a result most studies of quantum error correction assume a probabilistic Pauli error model, largely because such errors can be e ciently simulated. ... -
Laser Doppler Anemometry and Acoustic Measurements of an S822 Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)Experimental aeroacoustic research was conducted on a wind turbine specific airfoil at low Reynolds numbers. The goal of this thesis was to study trailing edge noise generation from the airfoil and investigate correlations ... -
Numerical Modeling of Multiphase Flows with Applications to the Automotive Industry
(University of Waterloo, 2015-06-24)Multiphase flows have become an issue of deep concern in the automotive industry. Two specific problems of concern to the ABC Group and Ford Motor Company have shown that the current multiphase models available in commercial ...
