Optimization of Neck Musculature Activation for Head Kinematics in Frontal, Lateral and Rear Impact Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-21)The activation of the neck musculature plays an important role in the response of the head and neck and can affect the risk of injury under impact conditions. Yet, the role of the level (i.e., magnitude) and timing of the ... -
Optimization of Recombinant Protein Production by a Fungal Host
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-05)The natural ability of filamentous fungi to synthesize, glycosylate, and secrete high levels of protein products has made them potentially attractive hosts for heterologous protein production. Advances in fungal genetics ... -
Optimization of Recombinant Protein Production by Streptomyces lividans Host
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-26)Interleukin-3 is a cytokine, which acts on many target cells within the haemopoietic system, often in synergy with the other cytokines. Streptomyces lividans NCIMB 11416/IL3 p002 secreting human interleukin-3 was used as ... -
Optimization of the Migration of Virtual Machines Over a Bipartite Mesh Network Topology
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-22)In today's society, the core network is becoming increasingly important to provide support for the ever growing number of end users as well as the applications that are required to run. While network technology continues ... -
Optimization of the Use of Post-Industrial Recycled Multilayer Plastic Packaging (MPP) as Asphalt Modifier
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-27)The quality of road infrastructure significantly impacts the safety and comfort of road users and the country's economy. In Canada, 15% of roads are rated poor or very poor, with 108,000 km in poor condition, costing drivers ... -
Optimization of Three-Axis Vertical Milling of Sculptured Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-12)A tool path generation method for sculptured surfaces defined by triangular meshes is presented in this thesis along with an algorithm that helps determine the best type of cutter geometry to machine a specific ... -
Optimization Placement for SDN Controller: Bell Canada as a Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-17)The tremendous proliferation of data traffic has been a key motivator for the upgrading of traditional IP networks One new conceptual model that has been developed for redesigning and managing communication networks is ... -
Optimization under Uncertainty for E-retail Distribution: From Suppliers to the Last Mile
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-03)This thesis examines problems faced in the distribution management of e-retailers, in different stages of the supply chain, while accounting for sources of uncertainty. The first problem studies distribution planning, ... -
Optimizations and Hardware Implementations for Composited de Bruijn Sequence Generators
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)A binary de Bruijn sequence with period 2^n is a sequence in which every length-n sub-sequence occurs exactly once. de Bruijn sequences have randomness properties that make them attractive for pseudorandom number generators. ... -
Optimizations of Cisco’s Embedded Logic Analyzer Module
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-24)Cisco’s embedded logic analyzer module (ELAM) is a debugging device used for many of Cisco’s application specific integrated chips (ASICs). The ELAM is used to capture data of interest to the user and stored for analysis ... -
Optimized Hardware Implementations of Lightweight Cryptography
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-20)Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a key technology for the Internet of Things era. One important advantage of RFID over barcodes is that line-of-sight is not required between readers and tags. Therefore, it is widely ... -
Optimized Thermoelectric Cooling Strategies for High Performance Electronics
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-17)Thermoelectric components (TECs) and other electronic cooling components such as micro-heat sinks have been shown to provide effective cooling for integrated circuits (ICs). A review of available literature has shown ... -
