A Link-Level Communication Analysis for Real-Time NoCs
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)This thesis presents a link-level latency analysis for real-time network-on-chip interconnects that use priority-based wormhole switching. This analysis incorporates both direct and indirect interferences from other traffic ... -
The Linkage Problem for Group-labelled Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-24)This thesis aims to extend some of the results of the Graph Minors Project of Robertson and Seymour to "group-labelled graphs". Let $\Gamma$ be a group. A $\Gamma$-labelled graph is an oriented graph with its edges labelled ... -
Linking Alloy with SMT-based Finite Model Finding
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-28)Alloy is a well-known declarative language for modelling systems early in the development process. Currently, it uses the Kodkod library as its back-end for finite model finding (finding instances of the model by determining ... -
Linking Constitutional and Environmental Rights: Applying section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to adverse environmental impacts
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-21)Many Canadians are currently exposed to adverse environmental impacts on a regular basis, often from activities that have received government authorization. There has been a recent push from mainstream and political actors ... -
Linking ecosystem services and wellbeing to improve coastal conservation initiatives under conditions of rapid social-ecological change
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)Over the last 50 years, researchers have observed a decline in marine biodiversity by approximately 50%. The consequences are alarming for global food production, especially fisheries, and critical economic sectors, such ... -
Linking Property Rights with Environmental Changes: The case of Nurerri and Jubho Lagoons, PakistanLinking Property Rights with Environmental Changes: The case of Nurerri and Jubho Lagoons, Pakistan
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-22)Coastal lagoons play a vital role in supporting human well-being and the conservation of unique biological resources. They are crucial for the protection of the coastline from extreme events like floods, and for providing ... -
Linking Services to Material Stocks: A GIS-based material stock-service analysis from island and city perspectives
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Recent years have seen a growing interest in sustainable development and the shift towards a more resource efficient economy. The concept of “social metabolism” views a socioeconomic system as a system of material throughput. ... -
Linking soil moisture content and carbon dioxide fluxes: From batch experiments to process-based modelling
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-19)The emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soil to the atmosphere represent a major flux within the global carbon cycle. Soil CO2 fluxes depend on environmental factors including soil moisture and oxygen, and on intrinsic ... -
Lipid and condition analyses of West Greenland marine feeding Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)A regime shift in the Northwest Atlantic in the 1990s caused changes to the diet and productivity of marine-feeding Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) off the West Greenland coast. Investigations into the implications of the ... -
Lipid Deposition on Hydrogel Contact Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The primary objective of this study was to quantify and characterise lipid deposition on soft (hydrogel) contact lenses, particularly those containing siloxane components. Studies involving a variety of <em>in vitro</em> ... -
Lipodepsipeptide Antibiotics: Total Synthesis and Mechanism of Action Studies Using 19F-NMR
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Daptomycin is a calcium-dependent cyclic lipodepsipeptide that is used clinically in the treatment of infections caused by pathogenic Gram-positive organisms, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Another ... -
