Dynamic Judgments of Spatial Extent: Behavioural, Neural, and Computational Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-20)Judgments of spatial relationships are often made when the object or observer are moving. Behaviourally, there is evidence that these ‘dynamic’ judgments of spatial extent differ from static judgments. Here I used three ... -
Dynamic Laser Fault Injection Aided by Quiescent Photon Emissions in Embedded Microcontrollers: Apparatus, Methodology and Attacks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-27)Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more integrated in our daily life with the increasing number of embedded electronic devices interacting together. These electronic devices are often controlled by a Micro-Controller ... -
Dynamic Latent Structured Data Analytics for Process Modeling and Monitoring
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-11)With the advent of Industry 4.0, variable relations in modern industrial processes are increasingly complex due to their high dimensions and complex auto-correlations and cross-correlations. Multivariate statistical methods ... -
Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Elastography
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technique used to generate a map of tissue elasticity. The resulting image is known as an elastogram, and gives a quantitative measure of stiffness in the examined ... -
Dynamic Memory Bandwidth Allocation for Real-Time GPU-Based SoC Platforms
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-20)Heterogeneous SoC platforms, comprising both general purpose CPUs and accelerators such as a GPU, are becoming increasingly attractive for real-time and mixed-criticality systems to cope with the computational demand of ... -
Dynamic Model Identification and Trajectory Correction for Virtual Process Planning in Multi-Axis Machine Tools
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-24)In today’s industry, the capability to effectively reduce production time and cost gives a manufacturer a vital advantage against its competitors. Specifically, in the machining industry, the ability to simulate the dynamic ... -
Dynamic Model of a Piano Action Mechanism
(University of Waterloo, 2004)While some attempts have been made to model the behaviour of the grand piano action (the mechanism that translates a key press into a hammer striking a string), most researchers have reduced the system to a simple model ... -
Dynamic Modeling and Parameter Identification of a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-19)In recent times, mechanical systems in an automobile are largely controlled by embedded systems, called micro-controllers. These automobiles, installed with micro-controllers, run complex embedded code to improve the ... -
Dynamic Modeling of Apoptosis and its Interaction with Cell Growth in Mammalian Cell Culture
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-20)In order to optimize productivity of a cell culture it is necessary to understand growth and productivity and couple these features of the culture to extracellular nutrients whose profiles can be manipulated. Also, since ... -
Dynamic Modeling of Drug Transport in Solid Tumors and Optimal Chemotherapy Regimen
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-30)One of the most common therapies for treatment of cancer patients is chemotherapy. Therapeutic agents (drugs) can kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA and interrupting their extensive proliferation. Successful chemotherapy ... -
Dynamic modeling of recirculating aquaculture systems with an integrated application of nonlinear model predictive control and moving horizon estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-30)Growing concerns regarding the sustainability of the aquaculture industry has led to the development of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) where the addition of wastewater treatment units is accompanied by a reduction ... -
Dynamic Modelling and Control of MEA
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-08)Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission control has been extensively studied over the past decade. One GHG mitigation alternative is post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture using chemical absorption, which is a promising ... -
Dynamic Modelling and Performance Analysis of Energy Storage Systems for Frequency Regulation in Bulk Power Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-21)Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) provide a feasible alternative to supply electrical loads without the unfavorable environmental impacts of fossil fuels. However, despite the significant environmental benefits of RESs, several ... -
Dynamic Modelling and Stability Controller Development for Articulated Steer Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-03)In this study, various stability control systems are developed to remove the lateral instability of a conventional articulated steer vehicle (ASV) during the oscillatory yaw motion or “snaking mode”. First, to identify the ... -
Dynamic Modelling of a CO2 Capture and Purification Unit for Oxy-Coal-Fired Power Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-09)Even though the use of renewable energy in electricity generation has significantly increased over time, coal is projected to remain as the primary fuel in electricity generation worldwide in the next decades due to its ... -
