    • Soft Materials under Air Blast Loading and Their Effect on Primary Blast Injury 

      Thom, Christopher (University of Waterloo, 2009-12-07)
      Injury from blast is significant in both military and civilian environments. Although injuries from blast are well-documented, the mechanisms of injury are not well understood. Developing better protection requires knowledge ...
    • Soft Tissue Thickness and Composition surrounding the Proximal Femur 

      Tondat, Alyssa Marie (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)
      Introduction: In Canada, approximately 30 000 hip fractures occur each year. Hip fractures are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and quality of life changes. Trochanteric soft tissues have been shown to ...
    • SoftMAC in Heterogeneous Wireless Network 

      Li, Jinsong (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-23)

      This thesis improves the accuracy and run-time of two selected machine learning algorithms, the first in software and the second on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. We first implement triplet loss and triplet ...
    • Software Approaches to Manage Resource Tradeoffs of Power and Energy Constrained Applications 

      Medhat, Ramy (University of Waterloo, 2018-01-02)
      Power and energy efficiency have become an increasingly important design metric for a wide spectrum of computing devices. Battery efficiency, which requires a mixture of energy and power efficiency, is exceedingly important ...
    • Software Architecture Recovery based on Pattern Matching 

      Sartipi, Kamran (University of Waterloo, 2003)
      Pattern matching approaches in reverse engineering aim to incorporate domain knowledge and system documentation in the software architecture extraction process, hence provide a user/tool collaborative environment for ...
    • Software Bug Detection Using the N-gram Language Model 

      Chollak, Devin (University of Waterloo, 2015-04-22)
      Over the years many techniques have been proposed to infer programming rules in order to improve software reliability. The techniques use violations of these programming rules to detect software defects. This thesis ...
    • Software Engineering for Big Data Systems 

      Kumar, Vijay Dipti (University of Waterloo, 2017-04-24)
      Software engineering is the application of a systematic approach to designing, operating and maintaining software systems and the study of all the activities involved in achieving the same. The software engineering discipline ...
    • A Software Framework for PCA-based Face Recognition 

      Peng, Peng (University of Waterloo, 2016-04-28)
