The Incremental Constraint of k-Server
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-19)Online algorithms are characterized by operating on an input sequence revealed over time versus a single static input. Instead of generating a single solution, they produce a sequence of incremental solutions corresponding ... -
Incremental machine learning-based accelerator for computational fluid dynamics simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-16)The simulation of physicochemical processes with computational methods is key for engineering design, with applications in a variety of industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals to aerodynamics. Despite its importance and ... -
Incremental Model Synchronization
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-02)Changing artifacts is intrinsic to the development and maintenance of software projects. The changes made to one artifact, however, do not come about in isolation. Software models are often vastly entangled. As such, a ... -
Incremental Timing-Driven Placement with Displacement Constraint
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-10)In the modern deep-submicron Very Large Integrated Circuit(VLSI) design flow intercon- nect delays are becoming major limiting factor for timing closure. Traditional placement algorithms such as routability-driven placement ... -
Incremental Urban Intensification: Managing the Re-Urbanization of Toronto's Avenues
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-13)This thesis proposes facilitating the re-urbanization of Toronto’s avenues to support the future growth of Toronto. The current guidelines for avenues buildings set out in the Avenues and Mid-Rise Buildings Study is not ... -
Incremental Urban Vernacular: Portraits of Transitional Spaces in Taipei's Xinwei Building
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-17)This thesis investigates creative appropriation of the spaces within the Xinwei Building, a half century post-war walk-up apartment in the Da’an District of Taipei, Taiwan. The thesis expresses the ephemeral, liminal, and ... -
Independent Sets and Eigenspaces
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The problems we study in this thesis arise in computer science, extremal set theory and quantum computing. The first common feature of these problems is that each can be reduced to characterizing the independent sets ... -
An Index of Groundworks and Bearings: Architectural lessons on foundation building in Vuntut Gwitchin traditional territory
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)The foundation mediates the relationship between a building and the land. It is a connection that is particularly challenging to ground in frozen soils. Bridging the Arctic Circle in the Northern Yukon, Vuntut Gwitchin ... -
Indexing Compressed Text
(University of Waterloo, 2003)As a result of the rapid growth of the volume of electronic data, text compression and indexing techniques are receiving more and more attention. These two issues are usually treated as independent problems, but approaches ... -
Indications of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage recovery following wastewater treatment upgrades in the central Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-28)Treated effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a source of substantial nutrient and contaminant loading, altering water chemistry and ecological conditions in receiving waters. To meet new regulations and ... -
Indicators, domains, and scoring methods for a Canadian Community Sustainability Indicator Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-23)The concept of sustainability has gained traction within Canadian planning efforts in recent years. As such, there is a need to measure progress toward sustainability goals; it was found that sustainability indicators are ... -
Indictments, Dismissals, and Obstruction – Republika Srpska: 1992 - 2011
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-10)This work details the transformation of the Republika Srpska from its foundation in 1992 to the election of Milorad Dodik as the entity's president in 2011. It covers the bloody birth of the RS and the role of its founders ... -
The Indigenous Ainu of Japan and the "Northern Territories" Dispute
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-19)This thesis re-examines the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, the so-called “Northern Territories” issue, through a reinterpretation of the role of the indigenous Ainu of Japan. An exploration of Ainu history ... -
Indigenous Intangible Cultural Heritage: Towards an Indigenous Approach to Canadian Heritage Management and Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-17)Canada’s ‘official’ heritage is overwhelmingly comprised of designated buildings, monuments, landscapes, and streetscapes that reflect notable architectural styles or historic character, celebrated places, and key agents ... -
Indirect conversion amorphous selenium photodetectors for medical imaging applications
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-22)The innovative design of flat panel volume computed tomography (CT) systems has recently led to the emergence of a wide spectrum of new applications for both diagnostic and interventional purposes, such as ultra-high ... -
Indirect Quantum Control: An Implementation-Independent Scheme
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)The ability to control quantum systems rapidly as compared to their coherence times is a central requirement for most proposed quantum technologies, such as quantum computing and quantum metrology. Improving the ratio of ... -
