Adaptive Medium Access Control for Internet-of-Things Enabled Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)An Internet-of-Things (IoT) enabled mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self organized distributed wireless network, in which nodes can randomly move making the network traffic load vary with time. A medium access control ... -
Advanced Silicon Anode Architectures for High Energy Density Lithium-ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-07)The pressing environmental issues and the continuous increase in energy demand have drawn tremendous attention to the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage systems (EESS). Lithium-ion batteries are currently ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH MODULUS ASPHALT CONCRETE MIX DESIGN TECHNOLOGY FOR USE ON ONTARIO’S HIGHWAYS
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-07)Asphalt pavement is subjected to external loads including mechanical loading induced by traffic and thermal loading induced by thermal variations. The last decades have witnessed a significant rise in number of heavy ... -
The effects of vegetation on the estimation of low flows: a high-resolution study in natural streams featuring novel techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-12)Accurate measurement of stream discharge under low-flow conditions is of utmost importance to many water resources practitioners. In most of the world, discharge is estimated at gauging stations using rating curves. These ... -
Efficient Image-Based Localization Using Context
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-22)Image-Based Localization (IBL) is the problem of computing the position and orientation of a camera with respect to a geometric representation of the scene. A fundamental building block of IBL is searching the space of a ... -
Heterojunction Quantum Dot Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-18)The advent of new materials and application of nanotechnology has opened an alternative avenue for fabrication of advanced solar cell devices. Before application of nanotechnology can become a reality in the photovoltaic ... -
Lumped Elements Loaded Miniaturized Antenna for Bluetooth Enabled Hearing Aid Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Hearing loss is one of the most common physical and sensory impairments among all ages, especially elders. Hearing loss may affect only one ear or both ears of a patient at a different degree of impairment. This asymmetrical ... -
Modification of Metallocene Alpha-Olefin Copolymer by UV-Irradiation
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-11)Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is used widely in applications like lamination and agricultural films, as well as a modifier for low density (LDPE) and high density (HDPE) polyethylene. LLDPE is made by polymerizing ... -
Robust Multi-Class Multi-Period Scheduling of MRI Services with Wait Time Targets
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-23)In recent years, long wait times for healthcare services have become a challenge in most healthcare delivery systems in Canada. This issue becomes even more important when there are priorities in patients' treatment which ... -
States of Dependency: Infrastructures of the Common
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-01)The thesis States of Dependency is concerned with exploring architectures relationship to socio-political and ethnographic conflict within Jerusalem. As a city of incredible political and national importance to both Israelis ... -
Video Imaging Methodology for Estimation of Pile Capacity
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)Piles have been used for generations in areas with weak soil conditions to reinforce existing ground or to support bridges and structures. As the piling industry increased over these years it was necessary to develop ...
