Cyclic Style Generative Adversarial Network for Near Infrared and Visible Light Face Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-10)Face recognition in the visible light (VIS) spectrum has been widely utilized in many practical applications. With the development of the deep learning method, the recognition accuracy and speed have already reached an ... -
Cyclical Violence in Jonglei State: The Deadly Shift in the Practice of Cattle Raiding
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)One of the greatest post-conflict problems in South Sudan, which has emerged as a threat to the nation’s security, has been the deadly clashes between tribes during cattle raids. This thesis examines why cattle raiding ... -
Cyclically 5-Connected Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-29)Tutte's Four-Flow Conjecture states that every bridgeless, Petersen-free graph admits a nowhere-zero 4-flow. This hard conjecture has been open for over half a century with no significant progress in the first forty years. ... -
Cyclicity of finite Drinfeld modules
(Wiley, 2009-12)Le tA=Fq[T] be the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq,letk=Fq(T) be the rational function field, and let K be a finite extension of k. For a prime P of K, we denote by OP the valuation ring of P, by MP the maximal ... -
Cycling degradation testing and analysis of a LiFePO4 battery at actual conditions
(Wiley, 2017-12-01)This paper presents a degradation testing of a lithium-ion battery developed using real world drive cycles obtained from an electric vehicle (EV). For this, a data logger was installed in the EV, and real world drive cycle ... -
Cycling in a Changing Climate: An Examination of the Effects of Weather and Climate Change on Cycling Frequencies in Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-27)This thesis contributes to the knowledge-base of how commuter cycling frequencies are impacted by current weather conditions, and what effects climate change will have on them by mid-century. Numerous studies have focused ... -
Cycling in Toronto: Route Choice Behavior and Implications to Infrastructure Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)This research investigates the route choice behavior of cyclists in the City of Toronto using data collected from a smartphone application deployed to a large number of cyclists in the City. A total 4,556 cyclists registered ... -
The Cycling Property for the Clutter of Odd st-Walks
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)A binary clutter is cycling if its packing and covering linear program have integral optimal solutions for all Eulerian edge capacities. We prove that the clutter of odd st- walks of a signed graph is cycling if and only ... -
Cycling use and attitudes towards cycling in Halifax Regional Municipality and the Region of Waterloo
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)The purpose of this thesis is to explore bicycle use and attitudes towards cycling through case study analyses in Halifax Regional Municipality and the Region of Waterloo. There are two main sections of analyses; the first ... -
Cyclobutanone Analogues of β-Lactam Antibiotics as Inhibitors of Serine- and Metallo-β-Lactamases
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-31)Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an emerging epidemic throughout the world and there is a desperate need for new antibiotics and new strategies to maintain the effectiveness of current agents. β-Lactams, such as the ... -
Cyclodextrin Assisted Self-Assembly of Stimuli-Sensitive Block Copolymers in Aqueous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-20)Structures with well-defined architectures and tailored physical properties can be produced by supramolecular self-assembly of stimuli-sensitive polymeric inclusion complexes consisting of cyclodextrins. Recently, there ... -
Cylindrical colloids on a fluid membrane
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)We theoretically study the adhesion and membrane-mediated interaction of cylindrical colloids to a flat fluid membrane. There are two ways to approach this problem. The first way, based on energy, requires finding the ... -
Cytochrome c Oxidase Deficiency: Study of Aberrant Phenotypes and their Connection to Secondary Functions of Assembly Factors
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-14)Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles present in all eukaryotic organisms and are involved in myriad cellular pathways. Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein complex that is an ... -
The C∀ Scheduler
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-02)User-Level threading (M:N) is gaining popularity over kernel-level threading (1:1) in many programming languages. The user threading approach is often a better mechanism to express complex concurrent applications by ... -
C∀ Type System Implementation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)The C programming language has been an important software development tool for decades. C∀ is a new programming language designed with strong backwards-compatibility to take advantage of widely distributed C programming ... -
Dairy Goat Research Facility: Revealing Process & Provoking Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-22)The dairy goat industry in Ontario is in need of benchmarking data on the raising and caring for goats resulting in better welfare and production. The power of collective data cannot be overstated to benefit and advance ... -
Damage Evolution in Complex-Phase and Dual-Phase Steels during Edge Stretching
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-03-27)The role of microstructural damage in controlling the edge stretchability of Complex-Phase (CP) and Dual-Phase (DP) steels was evaluated using hole tension experiments. The experiments considered a tensile specimen with a ... -
