Time-Resolved Wall Shear Rate Mapping using High-Frame-Rate Ultrasound
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-19)Arterial wall shear rate is known to be strongly associated with plaque formation and stroke risk. As a non-invasive, point-of-care imaging modality, ultrasound has been applied to perform wall shear rate (WSR) measurements. ... -
Time-Triggered Program Monitoring
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-21)Debugging is an important phase in the embedded software development cycle because of its high proportion in the overall cost in the product development. Debugging is difficult for real-time applications as such programs ... -
Time-triggered Runtime Verification of Real-time Embedded Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-22)In safety-critical real-time embedded systems, correctness is of primary concern, as even small transient errors may lead to catastrophic consequences. Due to the limitations of well-established methods such as verification ... -
Time-Varying Volterra Analysis of Nonlinear Circuits
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)Today’s advances in communication systems and VLSI circuits increases the performance requirements and complexity of circuits. The performance of RF and mixed-signal circuits is normally limited by the nonlinear behavior ... -
Timing Predictable and High-Performance Hardware Cache Coherence Mechanisms for Real-Time Multi-Core Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-18)Multi-core platforms are becoming primary compute platforms for real-time systems such as avionics and autonomous vehicles. This adoption is primarily driven by the increasing application demands deployed in real-time ... -
TiO2 and Biomaterials based Memristor Devices and its In-Memory Computing Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)As information technology is moving toward a big data era, the conventional Von Neumann architecture has shown limitation in performance. This is constrained by the large volume of data being continuously fetched and stored ... -
To Use the Codebook Information or Not: A Study of the Compress-and-Forward Relay Strategy
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-21)The motivation of this thesis is to understand how nodes can cooperate in a particular relay channel, say a relay channel with orthogonal link between relay and destination. We are especially interested in the scenario ... -
Top-Contact Lateral Organic Photodetectors for Deep Ultraviolet Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)Organic semiconductors are very attractive for thin film Organic Photodetectors (OPDs) since they possess a number of desirable attributes for optical sensing including high absorption coefficients over visible and ultraviolet ... -
Top-Gate Nanocrystalline Silicon Thin Film Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2008-06-20)Thin film transistors (TFTs), the heart of highly functional and ultra-compact active-matrix (AM) backplanes, have driven explosive growth in both the variety and utility of large-area electronics over the past few decades. ... -
Topics in Modeling and Analysis of Low-Latency Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-08)Cloud-based architectures have become integral elements of modern networking infrastructure and are characterized by a large number of servers operating in parallel. Optimizing performance in these systems, with a particular ... -
Topological Insulator-Superconductor Heterostructures and Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)A 3D topological insulator has fully gapped insulating bulk state but a conducting surface. Such conducting “surface” states are formed with helical Dirac fermions, with spin-momentum strictly locked by spin-orbital coupling. ... -
Toward High Performance Broad-band Frequency Comb Operation of Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-16)Recent advances in Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser (THz QCL) development are pushing this technology ever closer to practical application, particularly within the spectroscopic field. For this reason, optimizing the operation ... -
Toward High-Performance Blockchains
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)The decentralized nature of blockchains has attracted many applications to build atop them, such as cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens. The health and performance of the underlying blockchain systems ... -
Toward the Integration of DC Microgrids into a Hybrid AC/DC Paradigm
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)The recent penetration of distributed generation (DG) into existing electricity grids and the consequent development of active distribution networks (ADNs) have prompted an exploration of power distribution in a dc microgrid ... -
Toward Understanding Human Expression in Human-Robot Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Intelligent devices are quickly becoming necessities to support our activities during both work and play. We are already bound in a symbiotic relationship with these devices. An unfortunate effect of the pervasiveness ... -
Towards a Better Understanding of Variability Evolution
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-07)Highly-configurable software systems often leverage variability modeling to achieve systematical reuse and mass customization. Although facilitating variability management, variability models do not eliminate the variability ... -
Towards a Theoretical Understanding of the Power of Restart in SAT solvers
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-09)Restart policy is a widely used class of techniques integral to the efficiency of conflict-driven clause-learning (CDCL) SAT solvers. While the utility of such policies has been well-established, to-date we still lack a ... -
