Edge Estimation and Community Detection in Time-varying Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-30)In modern statistics and data science, there is a growing focus on network data that indicate interactions among a group of items in a complex system. Scientists are interested in these data as they can reveal important ... -
Edge Modes and Carrollian Hydrodynamics on Stretched Horizons
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-27)The first part of this thesis is aimed at investigating the crucial role played by emergent boundary degrees of freedom, called edge modes, in gauge theories defined in spacetimes with boundaries. We propose a simple and ... -
Edge of Field Phosphorus Export via Tile Drainage and Overland Flow from Reduced Tillage Systems in Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-17)This study examined the role of tile drainage and overland flow in field-scale phosphorus (P) export from reduced tillage systems, as well as the influence of event type and antecedent conditions on P export during major ... -
Edge of Field Vegetated Buffers as a Potential Source of Dissolved Phosphorus over the Non-Growing Season in Cold Climates
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-26)Phosphorus (P) rich runoff from agricultural landscapes are a major contributor to freshwater eutrophication issues. To intercept this runoff before it reaches waterways, vegetated buffer strips (VBS) are often employed ... -
Edge State Transfer
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-11)Let G be a graph and let t be a positive real number. Then the evolution of the continuous quantum walk defined on G is described by the transition matrix U(t)=exp(itH).The matrix H is called Hamiltonian. So far the most ... -
Edge-disjoint Linkages in Infinite Graphs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)The main subject of this thesis is the infinite graph version of the weak linkage conjecture by Thomassen [24]. We first prove results about the structure of the lifting graph; Theorems 2.2.8, 2.2.24, and 2.3.1. As an ... -
EdgeX: Edge Replication for Web Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-13)Global web applications face the problem of high network latency due to their need to communicate with distant data centers. Many applications use edge networks for caching images, CSS, javascript, and other static content ... -
Edible Films from Starch and Chitosan: Formulation and Gas Permeabilities
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-12)Starch and chitosan films are both known to be effective barriers to gas permeation. Being naturally abundant, renewable, and biodegradable, starch and chitosan films have the potential to replace petroleum-based materials ... -
Editing Fluid Flows with Divergence-Free Biharmonic Vector Field Interpolation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-16)Achieving satisfying fluid animation through numerical simulation can be time-consuming because such simulations are computationally expensive to perform and there are few practical post-processing tools for editing of ... -
The Edmonds-Giles Conjecture and its Relaxations
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-23)Given a directed graph, a directed cut is a cut with all arcs oriented in the same direction, and a directed join is a set of arcs which intersects every directed cut at least once. Edmonds and Giles conjectured for all ... -
EDUCATION AND MORTALITY IN INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER NEUROPATHOLOGY: A TEST OF THE COGNITIVE RESERVE HYPOTHESIS
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-17)Background: The cognitive reserve hypothesis describes a hypothetical mechanism to cope with brain damage: individuals with high reserve are thought to tolerate more Alzheimer neuropathology before symptom onset, show ... -
Education in the 21st Century: Human Rights and Individual Actions
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-09)This dissertation has three goals. The first goal is to outline how twentieth century advocates qualify education as a human right. The second goal is to offer an integrative account which argues that, to defend a right ... -
The Education of Demea in Terence’s Adelphi
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-07)The aim of this thesis was to gather an in-depth understanding of the changes in the role of the Roman father during the Middle Roman Republic by analyzing a play called The Adelphi by Terence. A literature review was ... -
Effcient Simulation of Message-Passing in Distributed-Memory Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 1996)In this thesis we propose a distributed-memory parallel-computer simulation system called PUPPET (Performance Under a Pseudo-Parallel EnvironmenT). It allows the evaluation of parallel programs run in a pseudo-parallel ... -
The effect of a protein-restricted diet during pregnancy on the expression of the amino acid transporter System B0,+ in early rat embryos
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-04)Epidemiological studies have shown that human adults have a higher chance of developing various metabolic disorders, such as type II diabetes and hypertension, due to maternal under nutrition. The concept that conditions ... -
The Effect of a Source Change for an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) or Excipient on the Finished Drug Product
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-10)The global cost of health care is increasing year after year, and one of the ways governments and health care providers are looking to reduce cost is by reducing the cost of drug products. The generic industry is under ... -
The Effect of Acute Aerobic Exercise on the Consolidation of Motor Memories
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-22)Previous research has shown that acute aerobic exercise performed prior to motor training can assist with motor skill acquisition through enhancement of motor cortical plasticity. Recently, studies using high intensity ... -
The Effect of Acute Docosahexaenoic Acid Intake on Left Ventricular Function and Susceptibility to Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in the Isolated Rat Heart
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-01)The chronic intake and myocardial incorporation of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA), is believed to protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury, possibly through ... -
The Effect of Acute Exercise on Femoral Artery Vasoconstriction: Involvement of Local Vascular Wall Renin-Angiotensin Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-02)During a single bout of aerobic exercise, blood flow is shunted to exercising tissues while blood flow is maintained or reduced to less metabolically active areas (i.e. splanchnic area and non-working muscles). Although ... -
