Large Aperiodic Semigroups
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015-11-01)We search for the largest syntactic semigroups of star-free languages having n left quotients; equivalently, we look for the largest transition semigroups of aperiodic finite automata with n states. We first introduce ... -
Large Data-to-Text Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-16)This thesis presents a domain-driven approach to sports game summarization, a specific instance of large data-to-text generation (DTG). We first address the data fidelity issue in the Rotowire dataset by supplementing ... -
Large Eddy Simulation of Partially Premixed Flames using Doubly Conditional Source-term Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-28)Doubly Conditional Source-term Estimation (DCSE) is a partially premixed formulated closure to model turbulent combustion. The conditioning variables are selected to be mixture fraction and progress variable to represent ... -
Large eddy simulation of transitional separated flow over a low Reynolds number cambered airfoil
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2023-03)The accurate simulation of the aerodynamic behavior of low Reynolds number (Re) cambered airfoils requires the ability to capture the transitional separated boundary layer (BL) that occurs naturally on the surface of the ... -
Large eddy simulations and subgrid scale motions in stratified turbulence
(University of Waterloo, 2015-03-18)Direct numerical and large eddy simulations (DNS $\&$ LES) of decaying and forced stratified turbulence are studied in this thesis. By defining a test filter scale $k_c$ in the horizontal and vertical directions separately, ... -
Large fully nonlinear solitary and solitary-like internal waves in the ocean

Large Mammal Movement: Differences in Primary and Branch Logging Road Use in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-23)There is an expansive network of roads in Algonquin Provincial Park (APP) to facilitate forestry resource extraction. This leaves a research need for examining how the logging road network in APP affects the large mammals, ... -
Large Scale Testing and Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Flat Plate Systems in Seismic Areas
(University of Waterloo, 2015-11-12)The focus of this research is on developing new punching shear retrofit techniques for slab-column connections to improve the seismic response of flat-plate systems. Previous tests have shown the effectiveness of using ... -
Large-scale 2D dynamic estimation

Large-scale Asset Renewal Optimization: GAs + Segmentation versus Advanced Mathematical Tools
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Capital renewal is an essential decision in sustaining the serviceability of infrastructure. Effectively allocating limited renewal funds amongst numerous asset components represents a large-scale combinatorial optimization ... -
Large-Scale Demand Management in Smart Grid
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Future energy grids are expected to rely extensively on controlling consumers' demands to achieve an efficient system operation. The demand-side of the power network is usually constituted of a large number of low power ... -
Large-Scale Emulation of Anonymous Communication Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-15)Tor is the most popular low-latency anonymous communication system for the Internet, helping people to protect their privacy online and circumvent Internet censorship. Its low- latency anonymity and distributed design ... -
Large-Scale Filaments From Weak Lensing
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)In the context of non-linear structure formation, a web of dark filaments are expected to intersect the high density regions of the universe, where groups and clusters of galaxies will be forming. In this work we have ... -
A large-scale multi-seasonal habitat prioritization and an analysis of structural connectivity for the conservation of greater sage-grouse in Wyoming
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Habitat loss is widely recognized as the primary cause of global declines in biodiversity and is linked to human disturbances through widespread land-use changes (Menon et al., 2001). As a consequence, wildlife species ... -
Large-scale phylogenomic visualization and analysis of functional traits in bacteria
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)The growth of genomic information in public databases has dramatically improved our view of the tree of life and at the same time expanded our knowledge of protein diversity. Through the use of automated annotation pipelines, ... -
Large-scale Solar PV Investment Planning Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-14)In the pursuit of a cleaner and sustainable environment, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has been established as the fastest growing alternative energy source in the world. This extremely fast growth is brought about, mainly, ... -
Large-Scale Traffic Flow Prediction Using Deep Learning in the Context of Smart Mobility
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Designing and developing a new generation of cities around the world (termed as smart cities) is fast becoming one of the ultimate solutions to overcome cities' problems such as population growth, pollution, energy crisis, ... -
A Large-Stroke Electrostatic Micro-Actuator
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-17)Parallel-plate electrostatic actuators driven by a voltage difference between two electrodes suffer from an operation range limited to 30% of the gap that has significantly restrained their applications in Microelectromechanical ... -
A Las Vegas Algorithm for the Ordered Majority Problem
