Regularizing Deep Models for Visual Recognition
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Image understanding is a shared goal in all computer vision problems. This objective includes decomposing the image into a set of primitive components through which one can perform region segmentation, region labeling, ... -
Regulation of a cold inducible antifreeze protein in soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida GR12-2
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-30)In cold inhabiting bacteria, a commonly used strategy to combat freezing stress is the production of antifreeze proteins. These proteins assist in survival below 0 degrees Celsius by minimizing extracellular ice crystal ... -
Regulation of accumulation of antifreeze proteins in winter rye (Secale cereale L.)

Regulation of Heat Shock Protein 70 Levels in Red Blood Cells of Rainbow Trout
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-28)The physiological responses to stressor exposure can be broadly grouped into the organismal and the cellular stress responses. The organismal stress response involves the release of hormones into general circulation, while ... -
Regulation of Hysteretic Systems with Preisach Representation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-30)Piezoelectric actuators are well suited for high precision mechanical and electrical engineering applications. However, its performance in regulator configurations has been limited due to hysteresis. The hysteresis in these ... -
Regulation of Integrin Function by XGIPC
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-25)Integrins are a large family of transmembrane cell adhesion receptors that are found on the surface of eukaryotic cells. Integrins act predominantly as cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, but ... -
Regulation of MH Class II Associated Invariant Chain in Oncorhynchus mykiss
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II associated invariant chain is a chaperone of the mammalian MHC class II antigen presentation pathway. It is responsible for targeting the MHC class II dimer to the endocytic ... -
Regulation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) mRNA at the innate/adaptive immunity interface in response to Vibrogen 2
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-31)Aquaculture supplies the world market with over 50% of food fish and is an economically important industry, however limited disease management strategies often lead to significant economic losses and/or poor-quality product. ... -
Regulatory Dynamics, Institutional Cohesiveness, and Regional Sustainability
(University of Waterloo, 2002)It is generally acknowledged that economic activity continues apace and at the expense of social and ecological integrity while the course of economic development remains far from any approximation of sustainability. Few ... -
Rehabilitation Therapy Services For Older Long–Stay Clients in the Ontario Home Care System
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-15)BACKGROUND Rehabilitation therapies are effective for older persons in home-based settings, and have the potential to save money for the health system, while also improving the quality of life for older adults who may ... -
Rehabilitation, Recovery, and Adverse Events Following Discharge from Ontario Complex Continuing Care Hospitals
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)Purpose: The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize rehabilitative care in Ontario Complex Continuing Care hospitals and to examine the association of patient, structure, and process factors on functional outcomes ... -
Reimagining health services and policy research: Embedding environmental sustainability into our research priorities and practice
(Elsevier, 2021-05)The health impacts of the climate crisis demand that health systems adapt their practices and mitigate their carbon emissions. Health services and policy research (HSPR) is crucial for the transformation of these systems. ... -
Reinforced Segmentation of Images Containing One Object of Interest
(University of Waterloo, 2007-11-09)In many image-processing applications, one object of interest must be segmented. The techniques used for segmentation vary depending on the particular situation and the specifications of the problem at hand. In methods ... -
Reinforcement Learning for Determining Spread Dynamics of Spatially Spreading Processes with Emphasis on Forest Fires
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-20)Machine learning algorithms have increased tremendously in power in recent years but have yet to be fully utilized in many ecology and sustainable resource management domains such as wildlife reserve design, forest fire ... -
Reinforcement Learning for Parameter Control of Image-Based Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The significant amount of data contained in digital images present barriers to methods of learning from the information they hold. Noise and the subjectivity of image evaluation further complicate such automated processes. ... -
The Reinforcement Learning Kelly Strategy
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-03)The full Kelly portfolio strategy's deficiency in the face of estimation errors in practice can be mitigated by fractional or shrinkage Kelly strategies. This paper provides an alternative, the RL Kelly strategy, based on ... -
Reinforcement Learning of Dynamic Collaborative Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Dynamic Collaborative Driving is the concept of decentralized multi-vehicle automated driving where vehicles form dynamic local area networks within which information is shared to build a dynamic data representation of the ... -
Reintegrating Canadian Agriculture and Ecological Land Management
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-21)There are three distinct motivating factors behind this research: 1) ecosystems are threatened across Canada and require locations within which to establish or re-establish natural features to support native species; 2) ... -
