Incorporating Misperception into the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-21)A flexible hypergame methodology is designed and implemented for modeling misperceptions by participating decision makers (DMs) in a conflict having two or more DMs within the framework of the Graph Model for Conflict ... -
Incorporating Musculoskeletal Disorder Prevention into Organizations’ Management Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-09)Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) – for example, low back pain or shoulder tendinitis -are prevalent disorders with significant economic burdens to organizations and personal costs to workers. The approaches to prevent these ... -
Incorporating Physical Information into Clustering for FPGAs
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-03)The traditional approach to FPGA clustering and CLB-level placement has been shown to yield significantly worse overall placement quality than approaches which allow BLEs to move during placement. In practice, however, ... -
Incorporation of 3-Dimensional ZnO Nanowire Arrays in Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-27)Organic solar cells have poor charge transport, with carrier mobilities and lifetimes of 3.9×10−4 cm2/Vs and 10-4 seconds in P3HT:PCBM devices. This poor mobility leads to higher recombination and lower short circuit ... -
Incorporation of Pressure Insoles into Inverse Dynamic Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-27)Estimation of body loads during industrial tasks, such as lifting and weight bearing, is central to workplace ergonomics and the study of the safety and risk factors in work techniques. Evaluating those loads requires data ... -
Increased Formability and the Effects of the Tool/Sheet Interaction in Electromagnetic Forming of Aluminum Alloy Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2005)This thesis presents the results of experimental and numerical work carried out to determine if electromagnetic forming (EMF) increases the formability of aluminum alloy sheet and, if so, to determine the mechanisms that ... -
Increasing Efficiency of Hybrid Electric Vehicles Using Advanced Controls
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-19)The drive to improve and optimize hybrid vehicle performance is increasing with the growing market of hybrids. This research is conducted on a student developed parallel split hybrid architecture. The architecture features ... -
Increasing Passersby Engagement with Public Large Interactive Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-17)Despite the proliferation of Public Large Interactive Surfaces (PLISs), and their potential to provide a more engaging and interactive user experience, these surfaces often go unnoticed by passersby, or not immediately ... -
Increasing the Efficiency of High-Recall Information Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)The goal of high-recall information retrieval (HRIR) is to find all, or nearly all, relevant documents while maintaining reasonable assessment effort. Achieving high recall is a key problem in the use of applications ... -
Increasing the Semantic Similarity of Object-Oriented Domain Models by Performing Behavioral Analysis First
(University of Waterloo, 2006)The main goal of any object-oriented analysis (OOA) method is to produce a model that aids in understanding and communicating knowledge about a modeled domain. A higher degree of similarity among independently produced ... -
The Incremental Constraint of k-Server
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-19)Online algorithms are characterized by operating on an input sequence revealed over time versus a single static input. Instead of generating a single solution, they produce a sequence of incremental solutions corresponding ... -
Incremental machine learning-based accelerator for computational fluid dynamics simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-16)The simulation of physicochemical processes with computational methods is key for engineering design, with applications in a variety of industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals to aerodynamics. Despite its importance and ... -
Incremental Model Synchronization
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-02)Changing artifacts is intrinsic to the development and maintenance of software projects. The changes made to one artifact, however, do not come about in isolation. Software models are often vastly entangled. As such, a ... -
Incremental Timing-Driven Placement with Displacement Constraint
(University of Waterloo, 2015-07-10)In the modern deep-submicron Very Large Integrated Circuit(VLSI) design flow intercon- nect delays are becoming major limiting factor for timing closure. Traditional placement algorithms such as routability-driven placement ... -
Incremental Urban Intensification: Managing the Re-Urbanization of Toronto's Avenues
(University of Waterloo, 2019-03-13)This thesis proposes facilitating the re-urbanization of Toronto’s avenues to support the future growth of Toronto. The current guidelines for avenues buildings set out in the Avenues and Mid-Rise Buildings Study is not ... -
Incremental Urban Vernacular: Portraits of Transitional Spaces in Taipei's Xinwei Building
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-17)This thesis investigates creative appropriation of the spaces within the Xinwei Building, a half century post-war walk-up apartment in the Da’an District of Taipei, Taiwan. The thesis expresses the ephemeral, liminal, and ... -
Independent Sets and Eigenspaces
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The problems we study in this thesis arise in computer science, extremal set theory and quantum computing. The first common feature of these problems is that each can be reduced to characterizing the independent sets ... -
An Index of Groundworks and Bearings: Architectural lessons on foundation building in Vuntut Gwitchin traditional territory
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)The foundation mediates the relationship between a building and the land. It is a connection that is particularly challenging to ground in frozen soils. Bridging the Arctic Circle in the Northern Yukon, Vuntut Gwitchin ... -
Indexing Compressed Text
(University of Waterloo, 2003)As a result of the rapid growth of the volume of electronic data, text compression and indexing techniques are receiving more and more attention. These two issues are usually treated as independent problems, but approaches ... -
Indications of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage recovery following wastewater treatment upgrades in the central Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-28)Treated effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a source of substantial nutrient and contaminant loading, altering water chemistry and ecological conditions in receiving waters. To meet new regulations and ...
