Gender, Schooling, and Antisocial Behaviour: Perspectives of School Personnel
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-11)This thesis examines gender, schooling, and antisocial behaviour and aims to shed light on how gender contextualizes the interpretations and reactions by personnel working in secondary schools. Drawing on data from 49 ... -
Gender, Social-Ecological Regime Shifts and Governance in Small-Scale Fishery Commons of Chilika Lagoon
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-07)A social-ecological systems perspective can be used to analyze the connections between human and ecological components in complex and dynamic natural resource commons systems, such as fisheries. When fishery commons ... -
Gender-based Analysis of Criminogenic Risk and Clinical Need among Ontario Forensic Patients
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-20)Persons suffering from mental illness in the criminal justice system are a heterogeneous group that require specialized services to meet their diverse needs (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2012; Dupuis, MacKay & Nicol, ... -
A gender-stratified, multilevel latent class assessment of chronic disease risk behaviours' association with Body Mass Index among youth in the COMPASS study
(Elsevier, 2019-09)This paper sought to examine chronic disease risk behaviour latent classes and their association with Body Mass Index (BMI), assessing for gender differences. Participants were youth (n = 116,086; grades 9–12) enrolled in ... -
Gendered Dimensions of Social Wellbeing within Dried Fish Value Chains and the Implications for Fisheries Governance in Sri Lanka
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Dried fish is a sub-sector within small-scale fisheries that makes significant contributions to livelihoods, wellbeing, and survival of fishing communities. The term ‘dried fish’ refers to the fish processed using simple, ... -

General Adaptive Monte Carlo Bayesian Image Denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-13)Image noise reduction, or denoising, is an active area of research, although many of the techniques cited in the literature mainly target additive white noise. With an emphasis on signal-dependent noise, this thesis presents ... -
General Geometry Computed Tomography Reconstruction
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The discovery of Carbon Nanotubes and their ability to produce X-rays can usher in a new era in Computed Tomography (CT) technology. These devices will be lightweight, flexible and portable. The proposed device, currently ... -
A General Neural Network Methodology for Multi-period Portfolio Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-22)In this thesis, we propose a neural network methodology for solving the multi-period portfolio optimization problem. Our approach formulates the problem as a stochastic optimal control problem and uses a single neural ... -
A General Pluggable Type Inference Framework and its use for Data-flow Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-27)Java's pluggable type systems provide valuable compile-time guarantees, but annotating the program with pluggable types can be a significant burden on programmers. Checker Framework Inference, a framework that aims to ... -
General Quadratic Risk Minimization: a Variational Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-05)Mean-variance portfolio selection and mean-variance hedging are mainstream research topics in mathematical nance, which can be subsumed within the framework of a general problem of quadratic risk minimization. We study ... -

Generalisations of Roth's theorem on finite abelian groups
(University of Waterloo, 2012-12-18)Roth's theorem, proved by Roth in 1953, states that when A is a subset of the integers [1,N] with A dense enough, A has a three term arithmetic progression (3-AP). Since then the bound originally given by Roth has been ... -
A Generalization of M/G/1 Priority Models via Accumulating Priority
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-08)Priority queueing systems are oftentimes set up so that arriving customers are placed into one of $N$ distinct priority classes. Moreover, to determine the order of service, each customer (upon arriving to the system) is ... -
A generalization of Meshulam's theorem on subsets of finite abelian groups with no 3-term arithmetic progression
(Springer, 2009-01-31)Let r1, . . . , rs be non-zero integers satisfying r1 + · · · + rs = 0. Let G Z/k1Z⊕· · ·⊕Z/knZ be a finite abelian group with ki |ki−1(2 ≤ i ≤ n), and suppose that (ri , k1) = 1(1 ≤ i ≤ s). Let Dr(G) denote the maximal ... -
A generalization of Meshulam's theorem on subsets of finite abelian groups with no 3-term arithmetic progression (II)
(Elsevier, 2011-02)Let G ≃ Z/k1Z ⊕ · · · ⊕ Z/kN Z be a finite abelian group with ki |ki−1 (2 ≤ i ≤ N). For a matrix Y = (ai,j) ∈ Z R×S satisfying ai,1 + · · · + ai,S = 0 (1 ≤ i ≤ R), let DY (G) denote the maximal cardinality of a set ... -
A Generalization of Roth's Theorem in Function Fields
(University of Michigan, Department of Mathematics, 2012-11)For n ∈ N = {1, 2, ...}, let D3([1, n]) denote the maximal cardinality of an integer subset of [1, n] containing no nontrivial 3-term arithmetic progression. In a fundamental paper [9], Roth proved that D3([1, n]) n/log ... -
