Local Graph Clustering Using l1-regularized PageRank Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-05)Local graph clustering methods are used to find small- and medium-scale clusters without traversing the graph. It has been shown that the combination of Approximate Personalized PageRank (APPR) algorithm and sweep method ... -
Local Group Analogues
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)The abundance of satellite galaxies is a critical small-scale test of the standard cosmological model. From comparing the predictions of structure formation in simulations with observations of Local Group dwarf galaxies ... -
THE LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN ONTARIO 1851-1985: AN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY
(University of Waterloo, 2006)This thesis is a study of the changing model of the local history museum in Ontario, Canada and the consequential changing interpretations of the past in these institutions. <br /><br /> Beginning in 1879, local history ... -
Local Material and Energy Flow Analysis for the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)To address global environmental challenges, resource use patterns at local and sub-national scales can provide relevant insights into drivers and how these link to local policy and decision-making. The Region of Waterloo ... -
Local measurements in Relativistic Quantum Information: localization and signaling
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-12)In this thesis, we study some foundational aspects of detector models in quantum field theory (QFT) related to signaling and localization, and we analyze certain frictions with relativistic causality. We characterize the ... -
Local Mixture Model in Hilbert Space
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-26)In this thesis, we study local mixture models with a Hilbert space structure. First, we consider the fibre bundle structure of local mixture models in a Hilbert space. Next, the spectral decomposition is introduced in order ... -
Local nested transverse feedback linearization
(Springer, 2015-08-29)We study two local feedback equivalence problems for a nonlinear control-affine system with two nested, controlled-invariant, embedded submanifolds in its state space. The first, less restrictive, result gives necessary ... -
Local observers on linear Lie groups with linear estimation error dynamics
(IEEE, 2014-03-06)This technical note proposes local exponential observers for systems on linear Lie groups. We study two classes of systems. In the first class, the full state of the system evolves on a linear Lie group and is available ... -
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 ...
