Gait shape control for 2-D.O.F bipedal robots using hybrid virtual holonomic constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-29)Motion control for bipedal robots is an active research area because bipedal robots can perform tasks and work in terrain where wheeled robots cannot. Researchers have developed bipedal robots that are able to walk, run ... -
Galt Agora: Vision for a Pedestrian Fabric in the City of Cambridge
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-17)The ongoing urban renewal occurring within the City of Cambridge, and its Galt city centre has been a long delayed process, yet it is a necessary one for the city and its inhabitants. A latent sense of disintegration within ... -
Game play in virtual reality driving simulation involving head-mounted display and comparison to desktop display
(Springer, 2019-11-28)Previous studies have reported the effect of driving simulator games on simulator sickness and eye symptoms experienced by users; however, empirical results regarding the game experience using commercial virtual reality ... -
The Game with Death : a transgressive tradition of Villa Adriana
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-22)Villa Adriana has long been hailed as poetry in architectural form. A world building project executed at the scale of landscape, it manipulated the very fabric of the earth with audacity, draining a river plain, conjuring ... -
A Game-Theoretic Decision-Making Framework for Engineering Self-Protecting Software Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-13)Targeted and destructive nature of strategies used by attackers to break down a software system require mitigation approaches with dynamic awareness. Making a right decision, when facing today’s sophisticated and dynamic ... -
GaN Micro-LED Integration with Thin-Film Transistors for Flexible Displays
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-13)The research presented provides a systematic attempt to address the major challenges for the development of flexible micro-light-emitting diode (LED) displays. The feasibility of driving GaN-based micro-LEDs with a-Si:H-based ... -
Gas permeation through water-swollen sericin / PVA membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2007-06-14)Silk sericin, a protein obtained from cocoons, is a highly hydrophilic macromolecular material with many hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino acid groups. Sericin has been used for cosmetics, medical, polymer materials and other ... -
Gas Separation by Poly(ether block amide) Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-16)This study deals with poly(ether block amide) (PEBA) (type 2533) membranes for gas separation. A new method was developed to prepare flat thin film PEBA membranes by spontaneous spreading of a solution of the block copolymer ... -
Gaussian Interference Channels: Examining the Achievable Rate Region
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)Interference is assumed to be one of the main barriers to improving the throughput of communication systems. Consequently, interference management plays an integral role in wireless communications. Although the importance ... -
Gaussian Two-Way Channel with Constellation-based Input
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)Achieving a higher transmission rate had always been a goal in the field of communications. Having a two-way channel in which two nodes transmit and receive data at the same time, is an important tool to achieve this goal. ... -
Gearbox Fault Detection using Synchro-squeezing Transform
(Elsevier, 2016)This paper presents a novel fault-detection method for gearbox vibration signatures using synchro-squeezing transform (SST). Premised upon the concept of time-frequency (TF) reassignment, SST provides a sharp representation ... -
Gecko Adhesion and Gecko-Inspired Dry Adhesives: From Fundamentals to Characterization and Fabrication Aspects
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-19)This study focuses on fabrication of dry adhesives mimicking gecko adhesion. We also look into the origin of the supreme adhesion of geckos, which have inspired the fabrication of fibrillar dry adhesives during the last ... -
Gelatin Methacrylate as a Controlled Release Vehicle for Treatment of Recurrent Corneal Erosion
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-04)Patients with recurrent corneal erosions (RCE) experience unpredictable and painful episodes, caused by the loss of superficial corneal epithelial cells. The erratic nature of RCE often leads to patient anxiety, and can ... -
Gelatin/PEDOT: PSS Modified Manganese Dioxide Cathode in Aqueous Rechargeable Zinc-ion Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-11)The global energy crisis and greenhouse effect have become important problems in the 21st century, and researchers have paid attention to renewable energy, including hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear energy sources. However, ... -
Gender Differences in Engineering Education: An Exploratory Study
(University of Waterloo, 2010-02-18)Despite significant efforts to boost female enrollment levels and retention rates in engineering programs, females continue to make up only a small portion of the Canadian undergraduate engineering student population. ... -
Gender Differences in Engineering: A Data-Driven Study
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-27)The gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is well known. Not only do fewer women apply to and earn engineering degrees, but also more women leave engineering programs and careers. Past ... -
General Adaptive Monte Carlo Bayesian Image Denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-13)Image noise reduction, or denoising, is an active area of research, although many of the techniques cited in the literature mainly target additive white noise. With an emphasis on signal-dependent noise, this thesis presents ... -
