Multiscale Methods in Image Modelling and Image Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The field of modelling and processing of 'images' has fairly recently become important, even crucial, to areas of science, medicine, and engineering. The inevitable explosion of imaging modalities and approaches ... -
Multiscale modeling in mathematical programming: Application of Clustering
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-18)Integration across decision levels of a supply chain is a key point in improving returns on investment. For example, planning and scheduling are usually carried out separately although they are interdependent of each other. ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Amphibian Neurulation
(University of Waterloo, 2007-10-23)This thesis presents a whole-embryo finite element model of neurulation -- the first of its kind. An advanced, multiscale finite element approach is used to capture the mechanical interactions that occur across cellular, ... -
Multiscale modelling of snow depth over an agricultural field in a small catchement in southern ontario, canada.
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)Snow is a common overlying surface during winter-time and the redistribution of snow by wind is a very important concept for any hydrological research project located within the cryosphere. Wind redistributes snow by eroding ... -
Multiscale Modelling of Structural Transformation in Metal Nanocatalysts for CO2 Electroreduction
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-12)The precise control of nanostructure and surface atomic arrangement can be used to tune the electrocatalytic properties of materials and improve their performance. Unfortunately, the long-term structural stability of ... -
Multiscale models of kidney function and diseases
(Elsevier, 2019-09)The kidney is a complex system whose function is the result of synergistic operations among a number of biological processes. The spatial and functional scales of those processes span a wide range. To interrogate kidney ... -
Multiscale Pore Network Modeling of Hierarchical Media with Applications to Improved Oil and Gas Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-10)For complex geological materials such as carbonates and tight sandstones having pores at several scales, the conventional relationships are not adequate to quantify transport properties. Therefore, it becomes important to ... -
Multiscale Simulation of CO2 Reduction in Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-10)Electrochemical CO2 reduction in solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a promising technology to address the global issue of greenhouse emissions. SOEC operates at high temperatures (>873K), possessing high energy ... -
Multisensory attention training for treatment of tinnitus
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-28)Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound with no physical sound source. Some models of tinnitus pathophysiology suggest that networks associated with attention, memory, distress and multisensory experience are involved ... -
Multisensory Integrative Processes and Aging
(University of Waterloo, 2022-10-04)Our sensory systems provide us with distinct impressions of our surroundings which are critical for perception, cognitive processing, and control of action. Indeed, input from multiple sensory stimuli compared to a single ... -
Multispectral segmentation of magnetic resonance images of the human brain
(University of Waterloo, 1997) -
A Multistage Stochastic Mixed-Integer Model for Perishable Capacity Expansion Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-19)We study a multi-stage capacity expansion problem under demand uncertainty. We consider the problem where there are multiple resources to be expanded at each stage. Moreover, the resources have limited life time after ... -
Multistate analysis from cross-sectional and auxiliary samples
(Wiley, 2020-02-20)Epidemiological studies routinely involve cross‐sectional sampling of a population comprised of individuals progressing through life history processes. We consider features of a cross‐sectional sample in terms of the ... -
A Multistate Model for Bivariate Interval-Censored Failure Time Data
(Wiley, 2008-12)Interval-censored life-history data arise when the events of interest are only detectable at periodic assessments. When interest lies in the occurrence of two such events, bivariate-interval censored event time data are ... -
Multistate Models for Biomarker Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-25)Multistate models are widely used for describing life history processes. In studies where individuals are observed continuously, the transition times between states are known exactly. However, when individuals are observed ... -
Multivariable System Identification, Enhanced Disturbance Rejection, and Precision Motion Control for CNC Machine Tool Feed Drives
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)In this thesis, precision modeling, multivariable system identification, and advanced motion control techniques are developed in order to improve the positioning accuracy and disturbance rejection of machine tool servo ... -
Multivariate First-Passage Models in Credit Risk
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-17)This thesis deals with credit risk modeling and related mathematical issues. In particular we study first-passage models for credit risk, where obligors default upon first passage of a ``credit quality" process to ... -
Multivariate Longitudinal Data Analysis with Mixed Effects Hidden Markov Models
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-24)Longitudinal studies, where data on study subjects are collected over time, is increasingly involving multivariate longitudinal responses. Frequently, the heterogeneity observed in a multivariate longitudinal response can ... -
Multivariate Modeling in Chemical Toner Manufacturing Process
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-24)Process control and monitoring is a common problem in high value added chemical manufacturing industries where batch processes are used to produce wide range of products on the same piece of equipment. This results in ... -
