Versatile Deep Learning Forecasting Application with Metamorphic Quality Assurance
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-23)Accurate estimates of fresh produce (FP) yields and prices are crucial for having fair bidding prices by retailers along with informed asking prices by farmers, leading to the best prices for customers. To have accurate ... -
Versatile Routes for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber Latex Hydrogenation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-19)The direct catalytic hydrogenation of acrylonitrile-butadiene-rubber in latex form was studied for the development of a simple process for the modification of unsaturated diene-based polymers. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-rubber, ... -
The Vertex Algebra Vertex
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-19)This thesis reviews some aspects of a large class of vertex operator algebras labelled by $(p,q)$ webs colored by non-negative integers associated to faces of the web diagrams [1,2,3,4]. Such vertex operator algebras ... -
Vertex Stabilizers for Network Bargaining Games
(University of Waterloo, 2022-03-04)Network bargaining games form a prominent class of examples of game theory problems defined on graphs, where vertices represent players, and edges represent their possible interactions. An instance of a \emph{network ... -

(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)Heterogeneous wireless networks will be dominant in the next-generation wireless networks with the integration of various wireless access networks. Wireless mesh networks will become to a key technology as an economically ... -
Vertical Semiconductor Nanowires: Engineering Light at Nanoscale
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-01)Vertical semiconductor nanowires have gained considerable attention in the last decade for their attractive optical and electronic properties. Their high surface to volume ratio and their ability to confine charge carriers ... -
Vertical Thin Film Transistors for Large Area Electronics
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)The prospect of producing nanometer channel-length thin film transistors (TFTs) for active matrix addressed pixelated arrays opens up new high-performance applications in which the most amenable device topology is the ... -
Vertical Urbanity: Urban Dwelling in an Age of Programmatic Promiscuity
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-31)Welcome to CityPlace. Thirty-five hectares of formerly unoccupied rail-lands in downtown Toronto are currently undergoing a transformation into an instant neighbourhood. Eventually, CityPlace will be the home to over ... -
Vertical Vernacular
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The rapid modernization and densification of Taipei has resulted in a culturally and socially unsustainable society. The North American paradigm of high-rise condominiums disrupts the social pattern of the vernacular ... -
Vessel: stories from the edge of the world
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-05)From the first instances of human inhabitation on the island of Newfoundland, wooden boats have been crucial facilitators to life on The Rock. Those who called this beautifully rugged land home were able to do so as a ... -
Viability Profile of ex vivo Corneal Epithelial Cell Samples
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-28)The corneal epithelium is a vital tissue which must retain its integrity to preserve vision and protect against harmful bacterial infections and other insults. Corneal disease represents the second most common cause of ... -
