Multiple negative molybdenum isotope excursions in the Doushantuo Formation (South China) fingerprint complex redox-related processes in the Ediacaran Nanhua Basin
(Elsevier, 2019-09-15)The Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation offers one of the most complete and extensively studied records of end- Neoproterozoic biotic and environmental change. Here, we report multiple coeval negative molybdenum (Mo) ... -
Multiple Object Tracking with Occlusion Handling
(University of Waterloo, 2010-02-17)Object tracking is an important problem with wide ranging applications. The purpose is to detect object contours and track their motion in a video. Issues of concern are to be able to map objects correctly between two ... -
Multiple Programs, One Offender: Investigating the Interaction Effects of Custodial Treatment Programs on Male Offenders
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-14)Many offenders participate in multiple treatment programs while incarcerated. Despite this, few studies have investigated the possibility of interactions between programs, and instead the correctional discourse has focused ... -

Multiple Stressors in the Environment: The Effects of Exposure to an Antidepressant (Venlafaxine) and Increased Temperature on Zebrafish Metabolism
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-11-19)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors working cumulatively to alter ecosystems. Wastewater-dominated environments are often riddled by a myriad of stressors, such as chemical and ... -
Multiple Substituent Effects on the Rate Constants for N(2)-N(3) Restricted Rotation of cis-1,3-Diphenyltriazenes
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Triazenes represent an interesting class of organic photochromic materials based on cis-trans isomerization around a nitrogen-containing double bond, and of potential use in optical memory devices. One structural property ... -
Multiple testing using the posterior probability of half-space: application to gene expression data.
(University of Waterloo, 2005)We consider the problem of testing the equality of two sample means, when the number of tests performed is large. Applying this problem to the context of gene expression data, our goal is to detect a set of genes ... -

Multiple Tools for Automated Nanofiber Characterization by Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-10)Nanofibers have been widely used in many engineering applications, including air filtration, energy storage, and biomedical engineering. Their performances largely depend on the morphology of nanofibers. The key morphological ... -
Multiple-Model Robust Adaptive Vehicle Motion Control
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)An improvement in active safety control systems has become necessary to assist drivers in unfavorable driving conditions. In these conditions, the dynamic of the vehicle shows rather different respond to driver command. ... -
A Multiple-objective ILP based Global Routing Approach for VLSI ASIC Design
(University of Waterloo, 2008-04-25)A VLSI chip can today contain hundreds of millions transistors and is expected to contain more than 1 billion transistors in the next decade. In order to handle this rapid growth in integration technology, the design ... -
Multiplex RT-qPCR assay (N200) to detect and estimate prevalence of multiple SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern in wastewater
(medRxiv, 2022-04-13)Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has become an effective tool around the globe for indirect monitoring of COVID-19 in communities. Quantities of viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater are related to numbers of ... -
Multiplicities of Linear Recurrence Sequences
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In this report we give an overview of some of the major results concerning the multiplicities of linear recurrence sequences. We first investigate binary recurrence sequences where we exhibit a result due to Beukers and ... -
Multiply Robust Empirical Likelihood Inference for Missing Data and Causal Inference Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-06)Missing data are ubiquitous in many social and medical studies. A naive complete-case (CC) analysis by simply ignoring the missing data commonly leads to invalid inferential results. This thesis aims to develop statistical ... -
