    • Extensions of Randomized Benchmarking 

      Barnhill, Marie (University of Waterloo, 2015-08-18)
      The characterization of noisy quantum circuits is an important step in the development of large-scale quantum computers. As experimental quantum architectures approach the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computing, ...
    • Extensions of Signed Graphs 

      Naismith, Katherine (University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)
      Given a signed graph (G, Σ) with an embedding on a surface S, we are interested in "extending" (G, Σ) by adding edges and splitting vertices, such that the resulting graph has no embedding on S. We show (assuming 3-connectivity ...

      Gokkaya, Onurcan (University of Waterloo, 2023-04-13)
      Climate change is indubitably one of the biggest challenges for humanity in the coming decades. While the interest in solving this problem has been increasing recently, the window to minimize the temperature increase to ...
    • Extensive marine anoxia during the terminal Ediacaran Period 

      Zhang, Feifei; Xiao, Shuhai; Kendall, Brian; Romaniello, Stephen J.; Cui, Huan; Meyer, Mike; Gilleaudeau, Geoffrey J.; Kaufman, Alan J.; Anbar, Ariel (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-06-20)
      The terminal Ediacaran Period witnessed the decline of the Ediacara biota (which may have included many stemgroup animals). To test whether oceanic anoxia might have played a role in this evolutionary event, we measured U ...

      Semple, Shawna L.; Vo, Nguyen T. K.; Poynter, Sarah J.; Li, M.; Heath, Daniel D.; DeWitte-Orr, Stephanie J.; Dixon, Brian (Elsevier, 2018-12-01)
      Despite increased global interest in Chinook salmon aquaculture, little is known of their viral immune defenses. This study describes the establishment and characterization of a continuous cell line derived from Chinook ...
    • Extracellular Electron Transport in Microbial Electrochemical Cells 

      Dhar, Bipro Ranjan (University of Waterloo, 2016-06-30)
      Microbial electrochemical cells (MxCs) are engineered biological systems that use microbial metabolism of anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) to catalyze electron transfer from a soluble electron donor to the anode via extracellular ...
    • Extracting and Cleaning RDF Data 

      Farid, Mina (University of Waterloo, 2020-05-28)
      The RDF data model has become a prevalent format to represent heterogeneous data because of its versatility. The capability of dismantling information from its native formats and representing it in triple format offers a ...
    • Extracting Counterexamples from Transitive-Closure-Based Model Checking 

      Kember, Mitchell; Tran, Lynn; Gao, George; Day, Nancy (IEEE, 2019)
      We address the problem of how to extract counterexamples for the transitive-closure-based model checking (TCMC) technique. TCMC is a representation of the CTLFC (CTL with fairness constraints) model checking problem in ...
    • Extracting ECG-based cardiac information from the upper arm 

      Heydari Beni, Nargess (University of Waterloo, 2023-01-24)
      Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the global number one cause of death. Therefore, there is an acute need for constantly monitoring cardiac conditions and/or cardiac monitoring for extended periods. The current clinical ...
    • Extracting Non-Functional Requirements from Unstructured Text 

      Ezami, Sahba (University of Waterloo, 2018-01-18)
      Non-functional requirements (NFRs) of a software system describe desired quality attributes rather than specific user-visible features; NFRs model stakeholder expectations about pervasive system properties such as performance, ...
    • Extraction and Concentration of Glutathione from Yeast 

      Wang, Yiran (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)
      Glutathione is a tripeptide present in most mammalian tissue. It has a great variety of significant physiological functions, such as regulating cell growth and division; helping DNA synthesis and repair. Glutathione can ...
    • Extraction of Digital Terrain Models from Airborne Laser Scanning Data based on Transfer-Learning 

      Ye, Weiya (University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)
      With the rapid urbanization, timely and comprehensive urban thematic and topographic information is highly needed. Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), as one of unique urban topographic information, directly affect subsequent ...
    • Extraction of DNA staining dyes from DNA using hydrophobic ionic liquids 

      Khimji, Imran; Doan, Krystina; Bruggeman, Kiara; Huang, Po-Jung Jimmy; Vajha, Puja; Liu, Juewen (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-05-18)
      The partition of oligonucleotides and DNA staining dyes into a few hydrophobic ionic liquids has been studied, where the oligonucleotides remain in the aqueous phase and all the DNA staining dyes are extracted in the ionic ...
    • Extraction of Oil from Oil Sands Using Thermoresponsive Polymeric Surfactants 

      Yang, Bingqing; Duhamel, Jean (American Chemical Society, 2015-03-18)
      Several thermoresponsive block copolymers constituted of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and a poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate) (PMEO(2)MA) block were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ...
    • Extremely fast (a,b)-trees at all contention levels 

      Srivastava, Anubhav (University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)
      Many concurrent dictionary implementations are designed and evaluated with only low-contention workloads in mind. This thesis presents several concurrent linearizable (a,b)-tree implementations with the overarching goal ...
    • Extremely Partisan Samples Impact Perceptions of Political Group Beliefs 

      van der Valk, Alexandra (University of Waterloo, 2023-12-05)
      Accurately inferring the beliefs of a partisan group (e.g. Democrats, Republicans) can be challenging when exposed to extremely partisan beliefs from that group. Across two studies (total N = 566), we tested whether people ...
    • Extrudable hydroxyapatite/plant oil-based biopolymer nanocomposites for biomedical applications: Mechanical testing and modeling
