Local Perspectives of Sacred Landscapes and Tourism: Exploring the Linkages in Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park, Nepal
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-04)Many cultures around the world attach sacred values to natural and cultural sites. Although different cultures interpret the word “sacred” differently, sacred places generally reveal strict behavioural restrictions, a ... -
Local Perspectives on Planar Colouring
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-09)In 1994, Thomassen famously proved that every planar graph is 5-choosable, resolving a conjecture initially posed by Vizing and, independently, Erdos, Rubin, and Taylor in the 1970s. Later, Thomassen proved that every ... -
Local Phase Coherence Measurement for Image Analysis and Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)The ability of humans to perceive significant pattern and structure of an image is something which humans take for granted. We can recognize objects and patterns independent of changes in image contrast and illumination. ... -
Local properties of graphs with large chromatic number
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)This thesis deals with problems concerning the local properties of graphs with large chromatic number in hereditary classes of graphs. We construct intersection graphs of axis-aligned boxes and of lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ ... -
Local Reasoning for Parameterized First Order Protocols
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-14)First Order Logic (FOL) is a powerful reasoning tool for program verification. Recent work on Ivy shows that FOL is well suited for verification of parameterized distributed systems. However, specifying many natural objects, ... -
A Local Solution to the Output Regulation Problem for Sampled-Data Systems on Commutative Matrix Lie Groups
(IEEE, 2018-08-16)We present a smooth nonlinear control law for a kinematic plant on commutative matrix Lie groups that achieves regulation, if the state tracking and estimation errors are initialized in a suitable neighbourhood of identity. ... -
Local Structure for Vertex-Minors
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-12)This thesis is about a conjecture of Geelen on the structure of graphs with a forbidden vertex-minor; the conjecture is like the Graph Minors Structure Theorem of Robertson and Seymour but for vertex-minors instead of ... -
Local Sustainability Partnerships: Understanding the Relationship Between Partnership Structural Features and Partners’ Outcomes
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)The number of cross-sector social partnerships (CSSPs) has increased at both global and local levels. This is due to the benefits that they bring in solving complex problems such as unsustainable development, and to the ... -
Local synchronization of sampled-data systems on one-parameter Lie subgroups
(IEEE, 2017-07-03)We present a distributed nonlinear control law for synchronization of identical agents on one-parameter Lie subgroups. If the agents are initialized sufficiently close to one another, then synchronization is achieved ... -
Local Traditional/Country Food Processing and Food Sovereignty: Investigating the Political Challenges for an Indigenous Self-government to Self-Determine and Develop its Local Food System
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-07)Background: Climate change in tandem with previous colonial policies have severely impacted local traditional food systems, resulting in a disruption to traditional knowledge sharing, a greater reliance on market foods and ... -
Local transverse feedback linearization for nested sets
(IEEE, 2016-02-11)We study a local feedback equivalence problem for a nonlinear control-affine system with two nested, controlled invariant, embedded submanifolds in its state space. The main result of this paper gives necessary and sufficient ... -
Localising Information in Bandlimited Quantum Field Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-24)A deeply-held belief in fundamental physics is that interactions must happen locally. Despite the great success of local models, there are many indications that locality must be abandoned in a theory of quantum gravity. For ... -
Locality and Exceptional Points in Pseudo-Hermitian Physics
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-26)Pseudo-Hermitian operators generalize the concept of Hermiticity. Included in this class of operators are the quasi-Hermitian operators, which define a generalization of quantum theory with real-valued measurement outcomes ... -
Localization and Counting of Indoor Populations on a University Campus using Wi-Fi Connection Logs and Floor Plans
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-17)The localization and counting of persons in indoor spaces is an area of extensive research. Indoor population metrics can inform energy conservation, health and safety, security, resource optimization, and location-aware ... -
Localization and possible functions of Arabidopsis HOTHEAD protein
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Molecular analyses using sixteen insertion-deletion polymorphic markers revealed that somatic sectoring occurs relatively frequently during the course of normal vegetative development. This is the first report that documents ... -
Localization of cortical potentials evoked by balance disturbances
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-26)The ability to correct balance disturbances is essential for maintaining upright stability. Recent literature highlights a potentially important role for the cerebral cortex in controlling compensatory balance reactions. ... -
Localized-Based Control Algorithm For Passenger Ride Comfort
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)In this thesis, a new localized-based suspension control strategy is developed, simulated and validated with experimental results. Basic concepts of mathematical vehicle models, suspension systems, and conventional control ... -
Locally-Adaptive Tabulation of Low-Dimensional Manifolds using Bezier Patch Reconstruction
(2017-05-17)An efficient tabulation strategy for turbulent combustion simulations is proposed. Using a locally adaptive arrangement of structured Bezier patches–often used in computer graphics–the combustion manifold can be efficiently ... -
LOCATE/DISLOCATE: An Exhibition of Haiku Videos
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-06)My work is concerned with perception and presentness. Using digital video I am employing a notion of “perceptualism” put forward by artist Jack Chambers. Acknowledging HD television and high speed internet, this work ...
