(University of California Press, 2015-10-01)This article examines how sound was used as an effective tool of formal resistance in the work of influential feminist filmmakers, Carolee Schneemann (United States), Gunvor Nelson (Sweden), and Joyce Wieland (Canada). ... -
Voltage Sag Ride-Through and Harmonics Mitigation for Adjustable Speed Drives using Dual-Functional Hardware
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Great portion of today's industry are <em>Adjustable Speed Drives</em> (<em>ASD's</em>) operated in order to fulfill certain processes. When these processes are critical ones or sensitive to voltage disturbances, that ... -
Voltage Stability Analysis with High Distributed Generation (DG) Penetration
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-14)Interest in Distributed Generation (DG) in power system networks has been growing rapidly. This increase can be explained by factors such as environmental concerns, the restructuring of electricity businesses, and the ... -
Volume Changes during Fracture Injection of Biosolids
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)The term biosolids refers to the nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of domestic sewage at a wastewater treatment facility. It is a widely acceptable term for sewage sludge that has been treated ... -
Volume Visualisation Via Variable-Detail Non-Photorealistic Illustration
(University of Waterloo, 2002)The rapid proliferation of 3D volume data, including MRI and CT scans, is prompting the search within computer graphics for more effective volume visualisation techniques. Partially because of the traditional association ... -
A Volumetric Contact Model for Planetary Rover Wheel/Soil Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-11)The main objective of this research is the development of a volumetric wheel-soil ground contact model that is suitable for mobile robotics applications with a focus on efficient simulations of planetary rover wheels ... -
Volumetric Weak Supervision for Semantic Segmentation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-24)Semantic segmentation is a popular task in computer vision. Fully supervised methods are data hungry, they require pixel precise annotations for thousands of images. To reduce user annotation efforts, weak supervision for ... -
The Voluntary Adoption of Green Electricity by Ontario-Based Businesses
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This paper explores the contextual factors that promote and inhibit firms? motivations to adopt a voluntary environmental initiative that is good for the environment but does not provide a clear competitive or legitimating ... -
Voluntary Simplicity as a Value Orientation in the Lifestyle, Leisure, Well-being Relationship
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Leisure typically has been regarded as a positive component in people's lives, and evidence points to its central rather than peripheral role in lifestyle. Further, studies of leisure suggest it is conducive to psychological ... -
Volunteer Participation in Ecological Restoration: Motivations, Organizations, and Conviviality
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-28)The state of ecosystems worldwide are increasingly dire. Ecological restoration is a practice that has the potential to remedy ecosystem degradation. Engaging people in ecological restoration can help ensure project success, ... -
Volunteer Tourism: An Exploration of Socially Responsible Tourism Practices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-25)This study explored the practices of commercial volunteer tourism operators in order to determine their perspectives on the role certification may play as a strategy for socially responsible volunteer tourism. It was ... -
Volunteered Drone Imagery: Challenges and constraints to the development of an open shared image repository
(2017-01-04)Orthorectified imagery is valuable for a wide range of initiatives including environmental change detection, planning, and disaster response. Obtaining aerial imagery at high temporal and spatial scale has traditionally ... -
