Fuzzy Preferences in the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2012-10-01)A Fuzzy Preference Framework for the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (FGM) is developed so that real-world conflicts in which decision makers (DMs) have uncertain preferences can be modeled and analyzed mathematically ... -
A Fuzzy-logic based Alert Prioritization Engine for IDSs: Architecture and Configuration
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-16)Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are designed to monitor a networked environment and generate alerts whenever abnormal activities are detected. The number of these alerts can be very large making their evaluation by ... -
FX Spot Trading and Risk Management from A Market Maker’s Perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-29)Due to the rapid development of computing technology and faster growth of financial industry, Foreign Exchange high-frequency trading has become substantially more prominent to today's market players, especially to bankers ... -
G-Quadruplex DNA for Fluorescent and Colorimetric Detection of Thallium(I)
(American Chemical Society, 2016-02-26)Thallium is a highly toxic heavy metal, but its 495 nm FRET sensing is underexplored compared to its neighboring elements Blue in the periodic table: lead and mercury. Thallium has two " oxidation states. A DNAzyme-based ... -
Gain-Scheduled Control of a Quadcopter UAV
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-28)In this thesis we develop a gain-scheduled control law for the quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Techniques from linear control theory are introduced and used to construct adaptive proportional and proportional-integral ... -
Gaining Access at Historic Tourism Sites: A Narrative Case Study of Physical Accessibility at Glamis Castle
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-07)Today, tourists seek authentic experiences from places they visit. For countries where the historic environment is a key component of tourism, the concept of maintaining authenticity is vital to encourage potential visitors. ... -
Gaining Information About a Quantum Channel Via Twirling
(University of Waterloo, 2008-07-31)Finding correctable encoding that protects against a quantum process is in general a difficult task. Two main obstacles are that an exponential number of experiments are needed to gain complete information about the quantum ... -
Gait Characteristics Change Following an Acute Exposure to Kneeling and Filtering Considerations for Gait Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2023-02-03)Following sustained kneeling in young adults, kinetic and kinematic changes at the knee and ankle during gait have been observed (Gaudreault et al., 2013; Kajaks & Costigan., 2015a; Tennant et al., 2014). It is possible ... -
Gait shape control for 2-D.O.F bipedal robots using hybrid virtual holonomic constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-29)Motion control for bipedal robots is an active research area because bipedal robots can perform tasks and work in terrain where wheeled robots cannot. Researchers have developed bipedal robots that are able to walk, run ... -
Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora
(University of Waterloo, 1967-02)The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride ... -
Galactic Molecular Dust Clumps using SCUBA-2 - Effects of HII Regions on Star Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-21)I present findings from a broad array of SCUBA-2 observations. The sample consists of 38 SCUBA-2 images targeted near mature, galactic, HII regions of the Sharpless "Sh-2" or Blitz-Stark-Fich "BFS" catalogue. In 31 of those ... -
Galaxy Formation at Redshift ~0.75: A Low Mass Survey & The Role of Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-29)The majority of galaxy formation studies which explore beyond local redshifts do not typically probe down to the dwarf galaxy stellar mass range of ∼ 10^9 Msun . Thus trends in the observed evolution or characteristics of ... -
Galaxy Morphology In Cluster Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-25)It is a well known fact that cluster environments favour early-type galaxies over late- type. However, the physical origin of the correlation remains uncertain. We focus specifically on the external environmental mechanisms ... -
Galaxy Transformations in the Last 5 Billion Years
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-01)It has become clear that the global star formation rate in the Universe has been decreasing since at least z~1, and blue, star-forming galaxies are transformed into red, passive galaxies through one or more processes. The ... -
Galerkin Finite Element Based Modeling of One Dimensional Packed Bed Reactor for Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) Process
(IEEE, 2020-12-11)Mathematical models of a complex physicochemical underground coal gasification process involve multidimensional non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). Therefore, researchers always seek a suitable numerical ... -
Gallium isotope fractionation during adsorption on clay and oxide minerals: implications for using gallium isotopes as a geochemical tracer
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-02)Increasing climate change leads to the imbalance between silicate, sulfide, and carbonate weathering fluxes, influencing the global carbon budget. Thus, understanding this balance is critical for understanding future global ... -
Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)This paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the ... -
Galore: And Exhibition of Drawings
