Generalized Strategies for Path Integration using Neural Oscillators
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-20)Path integration is a process by which an animal obtains its location by integrating its velocity over time. Evidence shows that path integration may contribute to certain neural activity patterns in the entorhinal cortex ... -
Generalizing sampling theory for time-varying Nyquist rates using self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators with deficiency indices (1,1) in Hilbert spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Sampling theory studies the equivalence between continuous and discrete representations of information. This equivalence is ubiquitously used in communication engineering and signal processing. For example, it allows ... -
Generating a New Evaluating System for Regional Scale Redevelopment Effectiveness of Brownfields in Waterloo Region Using a Multi-Criteria Analysis Mechanism
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)Brownfield redevelopment has been a popular topic as part of the contemporary planning literature. Encouraging brownfields’ redevelopment and improving the redevelopment effectiveness and efficiency have been two of the ... -
Generating Accurate Dependencies for Large Software
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-11)Dependencies between program elements can reflect the architecture, design, and implementation of a software project. According a industry report, intra- and inter-module dependencies can be a significant source of latent ... -
Generating Functionals for Spin Foam Amplitudes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-25)Various approaches to Quantum Gravity such as Loop Quantum Gravity, Spin Foam Models and Tensor-Group Field theories use invariant tensors on a group, called intertwiners, as the basic building block of transition amplitudes. ... -
Generating Functions for Hyperbolic Plane Tessellations
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)For a hyperbolic plane tessellation there is a generating function with respect to the distance. This generating function is the same as the growth function of a group of isometries of hyperbolic plane that acts regularly ... -
Generating patterns on clothing for seamless design
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-26)Symmetric patterns are used widely in clothing manufacture. However, the discontinuity of patterns at seams can disrupt the visual appeal of clothing. While it is possible to align patterns to conceal such pattern breaks, ... -
Generating Radiosity Maps on the GPU
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Global illumination algorithms are used to render photorealistic images of 3D scenes taking into account both direct lighting from the light source and light reflected from other surfaces in the scene. Algorithms based ... -
Generation and Characterization of Dual-Fluorescent Influenza Virus-like Particles (VLPs) in Insect Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-04)The Baculovirus Expression Vector System (BEVS) has been widely used to produce recombinant proteins, especially for complex biopharmaceuticals. In recent years, the insect-baculovirus system has proved its value as a ... -
Generation and properties of random graphs and analysis of randomized algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-22)We study a new method of generating random $d$-regular graphs by repeatedly applying an operation called pegging. The pegging algorithm, which applies the pegging operation in each step, is a method of generating large ... -
Generation Capacity Expansion Planning in Deregulated Electricity Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-22)With increasing demand of electric power in the context of deregulated electricity markets, a good strategic planning for the growth of the power system is critical for our tomorrow. There is a need to build new resources ... -
Generation of Horizontally Curved Driving Lines for Autonomous Vehicles Using Mobile Laser Scanning Data
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)The development of autonomous vehicle desiderates tremendous advances in three-dimensional (3D) high-definition roadmaps. These roadmaps are capable of providing 3D positioning information with 10-to-20 cm accuracy. With ... -
Generation of Short Laser Pulses by Using Hollow Fibre and Chirped Mirror Compressor System
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-23)A FEMTOLASERS hollow core silicon fibre of length 1 m and 250μm inner diameter was set up in the lab in Waterloo with the purpose of generating sub 10fs pulses for Coulomb Explosion Imaging (CEI). The input laser was a new ... -
Generation Scheduling in Microgrids under Uncertainties in Power Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Recently, the concept of Microgrids (MG) has been introduced in the distribution network. Microgrids are defined as small power systems that consist of various distributed micro generators that are capable of supplying a ... -
Generational Effects of Bisphenol A on Growth and Stress Performance in Rainbow Trout
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-25)The aquatic environment is severely impacted by xenobiotics that are released due to anthropogenic activities, threatening ecosystem health. Some of these contaminants accumulate in lipophilic fish tissues and are maternally ... -
Generative Adversarial Networks for ECG generation, translation, imputation and denoising
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used in medical applications. One challenge present in AI in medicine is not having high quality datasets available for training machine learning models. In this work, I explore ... -
Generative Modeling with Neural Ordinary Differential Equations
