(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)My interest begins in present day Bulgaria at the prominent site of a ruined Soviet monument which the country’s previous communist regime built in 1979. Their monuments expressed communist philosophy through their ... -
Quality Assessment of Composite Materials using Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing Methods
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)Non-destructive ultrasonic evaluation (NDE) is commonly used for assessment of civil infrastructure and characterization of construction materials. It is an efficient technique that could save millions of dollars with ... -
Co-Existing: Exploring Commercial Laneways in Downtown Toronto as a Network for Public Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)This thesis explores the opportunities that commercial laneways offer for integrating new public spaces into Downtown Toronto, in order to increase the amount of public space in the city core and improve social interaction ... -
Sea ice segmentation in SAR images using Deep Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)Sea ice covers over seven percent of the world's oceans. Due to the effect of global warming, Arctic's ice extent has decreased significantly in the past decades. This reduction in sea ice cover is opening new pathways for ... -
A Living Room for Milton
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)Milton, Ontario is one of many smaller Canadian cities that has absorbed the sudden growth brought on by a combination of the lack of affordable housing prices and access to major employment lands in larger urban centres. ... -
The Essence of Objects and Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)Every substance in the universe has its own identity that defines what it is. The essence is the property that entity and object have by necessity, without which, it loses its nature. This research aims to explore the idea ... -
Mechanical Characterization and Computational Modeling of Snap-cure Epoxy
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)Owing to their high specific mechanical properties and excellent energy absorption characteristics, high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials are regarded as viable candidates for improving ... -
A comparative investigation into the influence of the constitutive model on the prediction of in-plane formability for Nakazima and Marciniak tests
(Elsevier, 2019-11)The present study investigates the use of both Marciniak and Nakazima tests to generate the forming limit curves (FLCs) for a power-law hardening dual phase steel, DP980, and an aluminum-magnesium alloy, AA5182, that ... -
Intelligent Monte Carlo: A new paradigm for inverse polymerization engineering
(Wiley, 2018-05)Traditional computational methods simulate the microstructure of polymer chains from input reaction conditions, but a need exists for predicting optimum reaction conditions in a computationally-demanding multi-variable ... -
Usage of Interface Management System in Adaptive Reuse of Buildings
(MDPI, 2019-05)Adaptive reuse of buildings is considered a superior alternative for new construction in terms of sustainability and a disruptive practice in the current capital project delivery model for the renewal of today’s built ... -
Imitation Learning and Direct Perception for Autonomous Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-15)This thesis presents two learning based approaches to solve the autonomous driving problem: end-to-end imitation learning and direct visual perception. Imitation learning uses expert demonstrations to build a policy that ... -
Integrated metabolic engineering and bioprocessing strategies for production of succinyl-CoA-derived chemicals in Escherichia coli
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-15)Due to various social, environmental, and technological issues associated with petro-based chemical processes, bio-based production using microbial cell factories has been recognized as a modern biotechnology for more ... -
