Event level pattern discovery in multivariate continuous data
(University of Waterloo, 1998) -
An Event Study Analysis of the Fossil Fuel Divestment Movement
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)In a relatively short time, the fossil-fuel divestment movement has emerged with global momentum, in light of the industry’s influence on carbon induced anthropogenic climate change. Divestment is pursued by investors as ... -
Event-based model calibration approaches for selecting representative distributed parameters in semi-urban watersheds
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)The objective of this study is to propose an event-based calibration approach for selecting representative semi-distributed hydrologic model parameters and to enhance peak flow prediction at multiple sites of a semi-urban ... -
Event-Level Pattern Discovery for Large Mixed-Mode Database
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-16)For a large mixed-mode database, how to discretize its continuous data into interval events is still a practical approach. If there are no class labels for the database, we have nohelpful correlation references to such ... -
Eventual Durability of ACID Transactions in Database Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)Modern database systems that support ACID transactions, and applications built around these databases, may choose to sacrifice transaction durability for performance when they deem it necessary. While this approach may ... -
“Everybody Can Dance the Colour Pink”: A Phenomenological Exploration of the Meanings and Experiences of Inclusive Arts Programs for Practitioners
(University of Waterloo, 2010-02-22)While the arts have gained a more prominent place in inclusive educational settings, inclusive arts programming in the context of community recreation requires further exploration. In my practice I have found that while ... -
"Everybody should have choice": Municipal & Regional Planning, Social Policy, and Housing Options for Disabled Persons in Waterloo Region, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-13)The purpose of this study was to analyze how municipal planning impacts housing options for disabled people in the Waterloo region of Ontario. Through analysis of relevant local and provincial planning-related documents ... -
Everything Is Going to Be Okay, Right? Kindness, Compassion, and the Moral Permissibility of Self-Deception
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)Most people seem to have the intuition that self-deception is always and obviously wrong. In this thesis, I make the case that under certain circumstances, self-deception can actually do a great deal of good and ought to ... -
Evidence Combination in Hidden Markov Models for Gene Prediction
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis introduces new techniques for finding genes in genomic sequences. Genes are regions of a genome encoding proteins of an organism. Identification of genes in a genome is an important step in the annotation ... -
Evidence for methane hydrate stability zones during Pleistocene glaciation at the Bruce Nuclear Site
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-22)A gas hydrate refers to the state in which hydrogen-bonded water molecules form a rigid lattice structure of so-called "cages", wherein "guest" molecules of natural gas are entrapped. Not unlike ice, gas hydrates are prone ... -
Evidence for Participation of Anammox in Nitrogen Attenuation Observed in Groundwater Impacted by a Manure Lagoon
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)Decades of agricultural use of fertilizer and manure has resulted in nitrogen being the most common groundwater contaminant. Of the known processes for nitrogen attenuation, both denitrification and anammox produce a ... -
Evidence-based Software Process Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-27)Developing a large software system involves many complicated, varied, and inter-dependent tasks, and these tasks are typically implemented using a combination of defined processes, semi-automated tools, and ad hoc practices. ... -
Evidential Reasoning for Multimodal Fusion in Human Computer Interaction
(University of Waterloo, 2007-01-22)Fusion of information from multiple modalities in Human Computer Interfaces (HCI) has gained a lot of attention in recent years, and has far reaching implications in many areas of human-machine interaction. However, a ... -
Evocative Infrastructure: An Urban Cave at Yonge-Eglinton Station
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-15)The transition below grade demarcates a portal into a different realm. Underground architecture calls for a unique approach to design. This thesis is interested in looking at underground architecture through a phenomenological ... -
Evolution and Architecture of Open Source Software Collections: A Case Study of Debian
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Software has been studied at a variety of granularities. Code, classes, groups of classes, programs and finally large scale applications have been examined in detail. What lies beyond is the study of software collections ... -
