(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-28)The combination of infrastructure-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communications, namely the multi-hop Vehicular Communications Network (VCN) , appears as a promising solution for the ubiquitous access to IP services in ... -
Iron Nanoparticles for In Situ Chemical Oxidation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)Recently, metal nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers in several fields of study due to their high surface area and other unique properties. Using metal nanoparticles as a component of an in situ ... -
Irreversible Oxidation Reaction in Aqueous Rechargeable Zn-MnO2 Batteries and Its Elimination for High Reversibility at Low Current Density
(University of Waterloo, 2021-11-30)With the ascending requirements of global energy storage, secondary batteries are receiving significant attentions. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been dominating the market over the decades because of their superior ... -
THE ISLINGTON GALLERY OF ART: An Architectural Implementation of the 'Third Place'
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)This thesis proposes turning a Toronto subway station into a gallery that will display temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Islington subway station, on the corner of Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue, will ... -
Issues in Computer Vision Data Collection: Bias, Consent, and Label Taxonomy
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)Recent success of the convolutional neural network in image classification has pushed the computer vision community towards data-rich methods of deep learning. As a consequence of this shift, the data collection process ... -
Issues in Implementation of Public Key Cryptosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A new class of moduli called the low-weight polynomial form integers (LWPFIs) is introduced. LWPFIs are expressed in a low-weight, monic polynomial form, <em>p</em> = <em>f</em>(<em>t</em>). While the generalized ... -
"It felt like I was part of the data": Comparing Mouse, Touch, and Physical Interaction with Visualizations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-28)With my two exploratory studies I contribute a deeper understanding of the different experiences people have when manipulating data representations using mouse, touch, and physical interaction. To uncover experiences rather ... -
It Takes a Village: A Retrofit Framework for Improving Health and Community in Car-Dependent Suburbs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-09)Car-dependent suburban sprawl is an outdated planning methodology that is antithetical to the health, wellbeing, and social prosperity of suburban residents. In the past, North-American town planning was more community-centric; ... -
It's ON at Ontario Place - Or is it?
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)This thesis It’s ON at Ontario Place - Or Is It? addresses the roles that architecture and landscape play in shaping the waterfront and park systems into designed connected networks that respond to local, social, sustainable, ... -
It's Terminal: Architecture of Obsolescence
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-17)There’s always been one here. There’s the one that’s here now, there’s the one that it replaced, and there’s also the first one that didn’t last so long. One hundred and sixty odd years there’s been one here, in this place. ... -
Iterative Coupled Shell/Tube Simulation of Waste Heat Boilers using Computational Multiphysics
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-02)Removal of sulphur from fossil fuels is important in order to avoid the emission of sulphur oxides into the atmosphere, exposure to which has negative health and environ- mental effects. Sulphur is removed from refinery ... -
An Itinerant Architect
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-22)An itinerant architect—one who learns, teaches, and practices architecture on the road—has the ability to improve spaces that would otherwise never reach their fullest potential. The profession of architecture as it stands ... -
Jerk as a Method of Identifying Physical Fatigue and Skill Level in Construction Work
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)Researchers have shown that physically demanding work, characterized by forceful exertions, repetition, and prolonged duration can result in fatigue. Physical fatigue has been identified as a risk factor for both acute and ... -
