Causal Sensitivity Analysis for Decision Trees
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-15)Ventilator assignments in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) are made by medical experts; however, for some patients the relationship between ventilator assignment and patient health status is not well understood. ... -
Cause or Consequence? The Interrelationship Between Physical Activity and Fractures
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Our study characterized the physically active and non-active circumstances during which fractures occur and explored long-term effects on physical activity following one or more fractures of the hip or pelvis, spine, upper ... -
The Causeway, the Landfill, and the River: shaping Moncton's Environs
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The decommissioned Riverside Landfill, located on the Petitcodiac River in Moncton, New Brunswick, has been closed for over ten years. Lack of proper dumping and closure procedures has left the ground and the water ... -
CBKR+: A Conceptual Framework for Improving Corpus Based Knowledge Representation
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In Corpus Based Knowledge Representation [CBKR], limited association capability, that is, no criteria in place to extract substantial associations in the corpus, and lack of support for hypothesis testing and prediction ... -
CDCL(Crypto) and Machine Learning based SAT Solvers for Cryptanalysis
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)Over the last two decades, we have seen a dramatic improvement in the efficiency of conflict-driven clause-learning Boolean satisfiability (CDCL SAT) solvers over industrial problems from a variety of applications such as ... -
CDM Robust & Low Noise ESD protection circuits
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-20)In spite of significant progress during last couple of decades, ESD still affects production yields, manufacturing costs, product quality, product reliability and profitability. The objective of an ESD protection circuit ... -
CDMA Channel Selection Using Switched Capacitor Technique
(University of Waterloo, 2001)CDMA channel selection requires sharp as well as wide-band Filtering. SAW Filters which have been used for this purpose are only available in IF range. In direct conversion receivers this has to be done at low frequencies. ... -
cDNA?GFP Fusion Libraries for Analyses of Protein Localization in Mouse Stem Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Stem cells have great potential value for treating a number of diseases and conditions, including diabetes, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injuries. Applying stem cells for therapeutic purposes will require an in-depth ... -
Ceci n'est pas un parc: Reconsidering the Island Site of Expo 67
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-16)This thesis examines the landscape of Expo 67, in both its original and current state, and diagnoses a set of design and programming issues. In the mid-1960s, the city of Montreal undertook a vast construction project in ... -
Celastrol, a proteasome inhibitor, can induce the expression of heat shock protein genes in Xenopus cultured cells
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-25)Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are stress-inducible and evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperones that are involved in protein binding and translocation. As molecular chaperones, HSPs bind to denatured proteins, inhibit ... -
Celebrating Community: Local Music Festivals and Sustainable Relocalization in Southern Manitoba
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-23)Sustainable relocalization aims to increase resilience and wellbeing in local communities as a response to interrelated social-ecological threats emerging on a global-scale. This grassroots social and environmental movement ... -
The Celebrity Imprint: "Religion" and Identity Among Fans of John Lennon and Johnny Cash
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-23)Fandom-as-religion literature examines similarities between fandom and religion and, in particular, dimensions of the fan experience such as beliefs, emotion, and ritual. This area emerged in the last thirty years and ... -
Cell Cultures from Walleye (Sander vitreus) for Use in Cell Biology and Virology
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-16)This thesis has developed from the walleye, Sander vitreus (Mitchill), cell lines (WE) and used them to study viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV IVb), which is the causative agent for viral hemorrhagic septicaemia ... -
