A Universal Islanding Detection Technique for Distributed Generation Using Pattern Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)In the past, distribution systems were characterized by a unidirectional power flow where power flows from the main power generation units to consumers. However, with changes in power system regulation and increasing ... -
Universe Beyond Inflation and ΛCDM
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-09)The current paradigm of universe, $\Lambda CDM$ model with an early phase of inflation, has been quite successful in describing our universe in a simple manner, yet matching well with the observational evidence. This model ... -

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Traffic Network Design with Risk Mitigation
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-01)As unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology becomes more robust and widespread, more and more retail companies are seeing UAVs as a suitable alternative to ground-based transportation to deliver their packages. As a result, ... -
Unmasking the linear behaviour of slow motor adaptation to prolonged convergence
(Wiley, 2016-06)Adaptation to changing environmental demands is central to maintaining optimal motor system function. Current theories suggest that adaptation in both the skeletal-motor and oculomotor systems involves a combination of ... -
Unmet Mental Health Needs and Barriers to Mental Health Treatment Among Persons with Multiple Sclerosis in the NARCOMS Registry
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-09)Background – Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, neurological disease. Mental health comorbidities, such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder, are highly prevalent in persons with MS, and their presence is associated ... -
The Unobserved Waiting Customer Approximation
(Springer, 2021-06-02)We introduce a new approximation procedure to improve the accuracy of matrix analytic methods when using truncated queueing models to analyse infinite buffer systems. This is accomplished through emulating the presence of ... -
Unpacking Four Forms of Third Culture in Multicultural Teams
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-25)Multicultural teams are capable of producing creative and high quality solutions, but are also prone to conflict (Stahl, Maznevski, Voigt, & Johnson, 2010). Thus, it is important to understand the conditions which encourage ... -
