Traditional Methods and New Fluorometric Methods to Determine Phytoplankton Nutrient Status for Freshwater Ecosystems, and Their Application in the Lower Laurentian Great Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-01)The Laurentian Great Lakes are the largest system of freshwater on earth containing 22% of the world’s supply. Although part of a single system, each lake shows substantial variation regarding physical, chemical and ... -
Trailer Sway Control Using an Active Hitch
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)The handling and yaw stability characteristics of passenger vehicles are drastically changed when towing a trailer, which can lead to unsafe oscillations in the trailer yaw, known as trailer sway. This thesis examines the ... -
Trainability of Core Stiffness: Studies of Core Training Methods on Naive and Savvy Populations
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Core exercise is a staple of many physical training regimens with goals ranging from improving athletic performance to rehabilitation of spine and knee injuries. Traditionally, dynamic movements such as flexion, lateral ... -
Training Gaussian Process Regression Models Using Optimized Trajectories
(University of Waterloo, 2014-10-02)Quadrotor helicopters and robot manipulators are used widely for both research and industrial applications. Both quadrotors and manipulators are difficult to model. Quadrotors have complex dynamic models, especially at ... -
Training of Template-Specific Weighted Energy Function for Sequence-to-Structure Alignment
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-26)Threading is a protein structure prediction method that uses a library of template protein structures in the following steps: first the target sequence is matched to the template library and the best template structure ... -
Training Reject-Classifiers for Out-of-distribution Detection via Explicit Boundary Sample Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Discriminatively trained neural classifiers can be trusted only when the input data comes from the training distribution (in-distribution). Therefore, detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) samples is very important to avoid ... -
Trajectory Planning and Subject-Specific Control of a Stroke Rehabilitation Robot using Deep Reinforcement Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-19)There are approximately 13 million annual new stroke cases worldwide. Research has shown that robotics can provide practical and efficient solutions for expediting post-stroke patient recovery. Assistive robots provide ... -
Transactivation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor type β: Mechanisms and potential relevance in neurobiology
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-23)In the absence of ligand, certain growth factor receptors can be activated via G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation in a process termed transactivation. Serotonin (5-HT) receptors can transactivate the receptor ... -
Transboundary Regional Planning Collaboration for Climate Change Adaptation: A Case Study of Jasper National Park, Mount Robson Provincial Park, and Willmore Wilderness Park.
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-17)Climate change threatens the integrity of many parks and protected areas worldwide. Mountain parks are amongst the most vulnerable, facing changes in temperature, hydrology, glaciation, fire frequency, and pest and disease ... -
Transfer Cavity Stabilization Using the Pound-Drever-Hall Technique with Noise Cancellation
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-24)A system for exciting Rubidium atoms to Rydberg states has been constructed to study the interactions between them and metal surfaces. This thesis describes a method to reach the f Rydberg series using diode lasers. Since ... -
Transfer of Mass and Heat in the Cathode of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-30)The need for alternative sources of energy with low to zero emissions has led to the development of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. PEM fuel cells are electro-chemical devices that convert chemical energy to ... -
Transferring Pareto Frontiers across Heterogeneous Hardware Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-14)Configurable software systems provide options that affect functional and non-functional system properties. Selection of options forms system configurations with corresponding properties values. Nowadays configurable software ... -
