Classical simulations of quantum systems using stabilizer decompositions
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-19)One of the state of the art techniques for classically simulating quantum circuits relies on approximating the output state of the circuit by a superposition of stabilizer states. If the number of non-Clifford gates in ... -
Classification Algorithms based on Generalized Polynomial Chaos
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Classification is one of the most important tasks in process system engineering. Since most of the classification algorithms are generally based on mathematical models, they inseparably involve the quantification and ... -
Classification and Decision-Theoretic Framework for Detecting and Reporting Unseen Falls
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-18)Detecting falls is critical for an activity recognition system to ensure the well being of an individual. However, falls occur rarely and infrequently, therefore sufficient data for them may not be available during training ... -
A Classification of (2+1)D Topological Phases with Symmetries
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-18)This thesis aims at concluding the classification results for topological phases with symmetry. First, we know that “trivial” (i.e., not topological) phases with symmetry can be classified by Landau symmetry breaking ... -
Classification of Compact Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)The RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) was launched in June 2019. RCM, in addition to dual-polarization (DP) and fully quad-polarimetric (QP) imaging modes, provides compact polarimetric (CP) mode data. A CP synthetic ... -
Classification of Construction Projects
(World Academy of Science, 2015-07-01)In order to address construction project requirements and specifications, scholars and practitioners need to establish taxonomy according to a scheme that best fits their need. While existing characterization methods are ... -
Classification of Finitely Generated Operator Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-22)For the past few decades operator systems and their C*-envelopes have provided an invaluable tool for studying the theory of C*-algebras and positive maps. They provide the natural context in which to study the theory of ... -
Classification of Nilpotent Lie Algebras of Dimension 7 (over Algebraically Closed Field and R)
(University of Waterloo, 1998)This thesis is concerned with the classification of 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. Skjelbred and Sund have published in 1977 their method of constructing all nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension <i>n</i> given those ... -
Classification of nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 7, over algebraically closed fields and R
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
Classification of Sleep Staging For Narcolepsy Assistive Device
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-28)Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain’s inability to regulate sleep wake cycles normally [1]. Narcoleptic patients feel overwhelmingly tired and sleepy. They do not have the ability to carry ... -
A Classification of Wide Seasonal Range (WiSR) Cities for Early-Stage Decision Making in Public Space Design
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-18)In cold climates, prolonged winter weather and poor planning limit the use of public spaces for a major part of the year. While effective strategies exist to extend outdoor activity, their scope of application remains ... -
Classification-Based Adaptive Search Algorithm for Video Motion Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A video sequence consists of a series of frames. In order to compress the video for efficient storage and transmission, the temporal redundancy among adjacent frames must be exploited. A frame is selected as reference ... -
Classifications of Quantum Field Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-04)We discuss classifications of UV complete supersymmetric theories in six dimensions, and (spin-)topological field theories admitting a finite global symmetry and possibly time-reversal symmetry in three dimensions. We also ... -
Clay Shapes the Hand
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-16)Clay is a ubiquitous and malleable substance that records history at the scale of geologic time. Present in creation stories and found to be one of the first human tools, clay runs parallel to humanity. Clay acts as a ... -
CLBlood: A Cell-Based Light Interaction Model for Human Blood
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-19)The development of predictive appearance models for organic tissues is a challenging task due to the inherent complexity of these materials. In this thesis, we closely examine the biophysical processes responsible for the ... -
Cleanup Memory in Biologically Plausible Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2005)During the past decade, a new class of knowledge representation has emerged known as structured distributed representation (SDR). A number of schemes for encoding and manipulating such representations have been developed; ... -
A Cleavable Molecular Beacon for Hg2+ Detection based on Phosphorothioate RNA Modifications
(American Chemical Society, 2015-06-10)Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal, and detection of Hg2+ by biosensors has attracted extensive research interest in the past decade. In particular, a number of DNA-based sensing strategies have been developed. Well-known ... -
CLEVER: A Trivia and Strategy Game for Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Knowledge management (KM) includes the acquisition, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge within a company. The problem with many enterprise KM systems is that they are complex and hardly used, because workers lack ... -
CLEVER: Gamification and Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(ACM, 2016-10-16)This paper describes the design and a preliminary implementation study of a gamified knowledge management system (KMS) that supports the learning component within knowledge management (KM). KM includes acquiring social ... -
