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 ... -
The Evolution of a Supervisory Controller for a Split Parallel Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)The growing global acceptance of alternative fuels and electrified vehicles, accelerated by stricter emission rules, has accentuated the demand for more engineers who are adept in advanced vehicle technologies, particularly ... -
Evolution of Canadian Shield Groundwaters and Gases: Influence of Deep Permafrost
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)Numerous glacial advances over the past 2 million years have covered the entire Canadian and Fennoscandian Shield outcrop. During glacial advance and retreat, permafrost is expected to form in front of the glacier. The ... -
The Evolution of Dark Matter Haloes in Mergers
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-22)In the standard Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model, the present-day universe contains dominant components of dark energy (Λ) and cold dark matter (CDM). Fluctuations in the initial distribution of dark matter ... -
EVOLUTION OF LAKE ERIE BASED ON THE POSTGLACIAL SEDIMENTARY RECORD BELOW THE LONG POINT, POINT PELEE, AND POINTE-AUX-PINS FORELANDS
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)The postglacial geological history of Lake Erie was interpreted primarily on the basis of borehole sedimentary sequences below the major accretionary forelands: Long Point, Point Pelee, and Pointe-aux-Pins. These data ... -
EVOLUTION OF MULTI-ARC ACCRETION SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE SOUTHERN BEISHAN OROGEN, CENTRAL ASIAN OROGENIC BELT, NW CHINA
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is characterized as an accretionary orogen, evolved for ca. 800 m.y from late Mesoproterozoic to early Mesozoic. Its terminal collision and accretion generally commenced in the west ... -
The Evolution of Reason
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-17)Aristotle’s metaphysics bridges the gap between mind and nature explaining how their relationship constitutes development in life. Charles Sanders Peirce’s objective idealism similarly aims to investigate how the principles ... -
