Trends in Mandatory Municipal-Level Energy Benchmarking Policies for Large Commercial Buildings in the United States
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Mandatory municipal energy benchmarking for commercial buildings are a novel form of policy emerging across cities in the United States. These benchmarking policies require the owners of covered buildings to report on ... -
Trends in youth cannabis use across cannabis legalization: Data from the COMPASS prospective cohort study
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Canada legalized recreational cannabis use for adults on October 17, 2018 with decision-makers emphasising the need to reduce cannabis use among youth. We sought to characterise trends of youth cannabis use before and after ... -
Triangle-free graphs that do not contain an induced subdivision of K4 are 3-colorable
(Wiley, 2019-10)We show that triangle-free graphs that do not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to a subdivision of K4 are 3-colorable. This proves a conjecture of Trotignon and Vušković. -
Triangle-free graphs with no six-vertex induced path
(Elsevier, 2018-08)The graphs with no five-vertex induced path are still not understood. But in the triangle-free case, we can do this and one better; we give an explicit construction for all triangle-free graphs with no six-vertex induced ... -
Triangular Bézier Surfaces with Approximate Continuity
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-15)When interpolating a data mesh using triangular Bézier patches, the requirement of C¹ or G¹ continuity imposes strict constraints on the control points of adjacent patches. However, fulfillment of these continuity ... -
Triangular Epistolary Diplomacy with Rome from Judas Maccabee to Aristobulos I
(Société Latomus, Brussels, 2020-05-18)Scholarly opinions tend to converge towards accepting that Roman commitment to Judaea was very limited: sources attesting treaties of friendship and alliance are either seen as fabricated or not reflecting the real ... -
Triangular Operator Algebras and Simultaneous Triangularisation
(American Mathematical Society, 2023)We consider the question of whether every collection of compact operators that is contained in a triangular operator algebra (in the sense of Kadison and Singer) must be simultaneously triangularisable. The answer is shown ... -
Trifecta: Faster High-throughput Three-party Computation over WAN using Multi-fan-in Logic Gates
(University of Waterloo, 2022-11-29)Multi-party computation (MPC) has been a very active area of research and recent industrial deployments exist. Practical MPC is currently limited to low-latency, high- throughput network setups, i.e., local-area networks ... -
A Trip Planning-Assisted Energy Management System for Connected PHEVs: Evaluation and Enhancement
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-18)The built-in Energy Management System (EMS) of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) plays an important role in the fuel efficiency of these vehicles. Recently, it has been revealed that prior knowledge of the upcoming ... -
Triple Pool Net: A novel robust Convolution neural network for image/content classification
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-14)With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it is highly desired to find a more efficient neural network architecture for real-life applications. In this paper we propose a novel convolution neural network ... -
Trisections of non-orientable 4-manifolds
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-24)Broadly, this thesis is concerned with trying to understand 4-manifolds through 3-dimensional techniques. From the point of view of smooth manifolds, dimension four is quite unique; one striking illustration of this is the ... -
Triton: outpost in the ocean
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The ocean, especially the deep ocean, dominates this world; it is the largest single habitat on the planet, a habitat whose inhabitants constitute the most common forms of life on this planet. By its immense influence ... -
Trois voix libres délibèrent en l’an 1562, à l’aube des guerres de Religion ; Étienne de La Boétie, Pierre de Ronsard et Sébastien Castellion
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)Cette thèse de maîtrise étudie le Mémoire sur l’édit de janvier d’Étienne de la Boétie (1530-1563), le Conseil à la France désolée de Sébastien Castellion (1515-1563) et les deux premiers poèmes des Discours des misères ... -
Trophic disruption effects on the diet and condition of Lake Whitefish
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-18)Recently, the growth and condition of Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), an important commercial fishery commodity, has declined in some areas of the Great Lakes. As Lake Whitefish are benthic feeders, historically ... -
The Troubled Life and Loves of Lady Anne Lennard: Illegitimacy, sexuality, and mistressdom at the court of Charles II, 1690-1720
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-20)Despite her infamy, the life of Lady Anne Lennard, formally styled the Countess of Sussex, has never received an in-depth examination. As the natural daughter of King Charles II of England born via his mistress Barbara ... -
Troubling Dominance in Sport: Deconstructing Curling Culture(s) through Narrative Inquiry
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-26)Curling, with its deep history, colonial legacy, and quintessential “Canadianness” (Mair, 2007, 2009) offers a rich context to explore how dominant narratives within a sport may continue to affect diversity and inclusion. ... -
The Trumpets
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-07)The work of my MFA thesis exhibition comes directly out of the physical processes that constitute my studio practice. It is work that embodies the labour of my hands and the decisions that guided them in their struggle ... -
Truncation selection and diffusion on random graphs
(Arxiv, 2017-08-31)Two-strategy evolutionary games on graphs have been extensively studied in the literature. A variety of graph structures, degrees of graph dynamics, and behaviours of replicators have been explored. These models have ...
