The two-space homogenization method
(University of Waterloo, 2012-10-04)In this thesis, we consider the two-space homogenization method, which produces macroscopic expressions out of descriptions of the behaviour of the microstructure. Specifically, we focus on its application to poroelastic ... -
A Two-Stage Learning Approach for Goalie, Net and Stick Pose Estimation in Ice Hockey
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-26)Accurate pose estimation of ice hockey goaltenders presents a unique challenge due to the dynamic nature of the sport and the intricate interactions among the goalie, equipment, and net. This study introduces a comprehensive ... -
A Two-Tier Storage Interface for Low-Latency Kubernetes Deployments
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-11)Orchestration systems are responsible for automating the management of software deployments on computer systems, managing large numbers of machines. Edge computing is a decentralized compute model describing how compute ... -
Two-weeks of single-leg immobilization alters IMCL storage, mitochondrial content, and insulin signalling in healthy, young women
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)During limb immobilization and bed rest, there is a significant loss of muscle mass and strength, and an onset of insulin resistance (IR). Subcellular localization of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) is suggested to regulate ... -
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and the prevalence of age-related cataract in a clinic population.
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-24)Purpose: The prevalence of diabetes (DM) is increasing globally with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) being primarily responsible for this alarming trend. Age and DM have been associated with an increased prevalence of AR cataract ... -
Type Checking and Whole-program Inference for Value Range Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-19)Value range analysis is important in many software domains for ensuring the safety and reliability of a program and is a crucial facet in software development. The resulting information can be used in optimizations such ... -
A Type System With Containers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)In this thesis, we will introduce the concept of containers as they apply to programming languages. Encapsulation is a common topic in programming languages with well understood benefits. Here, we will investigate its ... -
Typologies of Nitrogen Surplus Across Continental US: Shifting Hotspots and Dominant Controls
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-17)Flows of reactive nitrogen (N) have significantly increased over the last century, corresponding to increases in the global population. The pressures on the N cycle include human waste, fossil fuel combustion as well as ... -
