Cortical Dynamics Associated with Freezing of Gait and its Severity in Parkinson's Disease: An Integrative EEG-Based Analysis for Biomarkers and Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-02)Freezing of gait (FOG) is a complex and debilitating gait disturbance in Parkinson's disease (PD) that significantly impacts mobility and quality of life in PD patients. FOG affects approximately 86.5% of individuals with ... -
Corundum formation by metasomatic reactions in Archean metapelite, SW Greenland: Exploration vectors for ruby deposits within high-grade greenstone belts
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Corundum (ruby-sapphire) is known to have formed in situ within Archean metamorphic rocks at several localities in the North Atlantic Craton of Greenland. Here we present two case studies for such occurrences: (1) Maniitsoq ... -
Cosmic Acceleration As Quantum Gravity Phenomenology
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-22)The discovery of cosmic acceleration has prompted the need for a new understanding of cosmology. The presence of this acceleration is often described as the dark energy problem or the Lambda problem.The simplest explanation ... -
Cosmic Atoms: from Causal Sets to Clusters
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-19)This thesis is a collection of works which seek to address certain aspects of the following puzzles: quantum gravity, initial conditions of the universe, the cosmological constant problem, and baryonic processes in clusters ... -
Cosmographia Metallica
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-20)In his book The Living Rock, historian A.J. Wilson writes, “The history of metals is the history of civilization”. From its beginnings in simple toolmaking, to modern-day machinery and weapons, the development of metallurgy ... -
Cosmological beam plasma instabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Blazars are the main source of extragalactic very high energy gamma-rays. These gamma rays annihilate on the extragalactic background light, producing electron-positron pair beams with TeV energies. The pair beams are very ... -
Cosmological Results and Implications in Effective DGP
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-26)We study a simple extension of the decoupling limit of boundary effctive actions for the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, by covariantizing the π lagrangian and coupling to gravity in the usual way. This extension agrees ... -
Cosmological Tests of Causal Set Phenomenology
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-20)Causal Set Theory is an approach to Quantum Gravity that postulates that the fundamental structure of a spacetime manifold is a Lorentz Invariant discrete structure endowed with a causal order from which the geometry and ... -
Cosmology with Cluster Structural Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-23)Galaxy clusters are massive objects composed of hundreds or thousands of galaxies, hot gas and an extended dark matter (DM) halo. They are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. As such, they result ... -
The Cosmos and Four-Dimensional Geometry as seen in the Visionary Architecture of the Russian Avant-Garde
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-14)From four-dimensional geometry and philosophy to a connection with the cosmos, the intellectual tradition of the Russian avant-garde is understudied and misinterpreted in the West. This thesis reflects upon the theory of ... -
Cost Analysis of Query-Anonymity on the Internet of Things
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-06)A necessary function of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to sense the real-world from the fabric of everyday environments. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely deployed as part of IoT for environmental sensing, ... -
Cost and Benefit of Embedded Feature Annotation: A Case Study
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)In software industry, organizations often need to develop a set of similar software-intensive systems in order to satisfy different requirements of customers. In the literature, it has been traditionally recommended that ... -
Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Riluzole for ALS in Ontario Home Care Setting
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-23)Objective: To identify the factors associated with the prescription of riluzole and assess its cost-effectiveness for patients diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in long stay home care in Ontario, Canada. ... -
A Cost Model for a Fingered Join Operator in Relational Query Plans
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-12)We introduce the finger aware cursor operator for relational join queries. It scans a list of tuples in a finger enabled manner when a nested loop join operation is performed. Using this scan operation, we improve the ... -
Cost-Based Automatic Recovery Policy in Data Centers
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Today's data centers either provide critical applications to organizations or host computing clouds used by huge Internet populations. Their size and complex structure make management difficult, causing high operational ... -
Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Single Session Walk-In Counselling
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-25)Background: Increased costs and demand for accessibility to mental health services accompanied by a decline in resources has forced mental health service providers and government to innovate and develop a variety of new ... -
