      Ropel-Morski, Zach (University of Waterloo, 2022-06-15)
      In the midst of a cultural moment that has seen a moratorium placed on public space, and a growing sense of contraction and isolationism on a global scale, our attention shifts to the private domestic realm. We zoom in, ...
    • Closets Breed Suspicion: Environments that Stigmatize Concealable Identities Raise Doubts about Claims to Contrasting Non-Stigmatized Identities 

      Oakes, Harrison (University of Waterloo, 2020-04-22)
      In this dissertation, I articulate a theory of identity suspicion, informed by research on attribution theory’s discounting principle (Kelley, 1971) and on suspicious mindsets (Fein, Hilton, & Miller, 1990). Identity ...
    • Closing the Modelling Gap: Transfer Learning from a Low-Fidelity Simulator for Autonomous Driving 

      Balakrishnan, Aravind (University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)
      The behaviour planning subsystem, which is responsible for high-level decision making and planning, is an important aspect of an autonomous driving system. There are advantages to using a learned behaviour planning system ...
    • A Cloud-Based Architecture for BIM as an Asset for Project Management 

      MERY, ELVINA Constance (University of Waterloo, 2019-08-12)
      After more than 30 years of research, better solutions continue to be sought for nuclear power plant decommissioning and radioactive waste management. As some approaches are interesting, improvements are still required in ...
    • CLPush: Proactive Cache Transfers in NUMA Applications 

      Pathak, Gautam (University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)
      Modern Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems support a thread count of as much as 128 threads to support high performance applications. These systems usually employ a scalable cache-coherent directory mechanism to ensure ...
    • Cluster Consciousness and Branding in the Greater Sudbury Mining Innovation Cluster 

      Burdett, Matt (University of Waterloo, 2022-09-09)
      Clusters have been a major area of interest for researchers and policymakers over the last 40 years. Clusters are defined as a “a geographic concentration of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service ...
    • Clustering behaviour in networks with time delayed all-to-all coupling 

      Wang, Zhen (University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)
      Networks of coupled oscillators arise in a variety of areas. Clustering is a type of oscillatory network behavior where elements of a network segregate into groups. Elements within a group oscillate synchronously, while ...
    • Clustering Dependencies over Relational Tables 

      Gao, Yuchen (University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)
      Integrity constraints have proven to be valuable in the database field. Not only can they help schema design (functional dependencies, FDs [1][2]), they can also be used in query optimization (ordering dependencies, ODs ...
    • Clustering in the Presence of Noise 

      Haghtalab, Nika (University of Waterloo, 2013-08-26)
      Clustering, which is partitioning data into groups of similar objects, has a wide range of applications. In many cases unstructured data makes up a significant part of the input. Attempting to cluster such part of the data, ...
    • CMOS Electrochemical Camera for Biological Cell Impedance Imaging 

      Schmidt, Jesse (University of Waterloo, 2019-07-19)
      Many biomedical applications require observing the response of biological cells to various stimuli and conditions. Typical optical imaging systems for observing cells require labelling cells with fluorescent molecules. ...
