Iterated Function Systems with Place-Dependent Probabilities and the Inverse Problem of Measure Approximation Using Moments
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-25)The study of iterated function systems has close ties with the subject of fractal-based analysis. One important application is the approximation of a target object by the fixed point of a contractive iterated function ... -
Iterative Coupled Shell/Tube Simulation of Waste Heat Boilers using Computational Multiphysics
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-02)Removal of sulphur from fossil fuels is important in order to avoid the emission of sulphur oxides into the atmosphere, exposure to which has negative health and environ- mental effects. Sulphur is removed from refinery ... -
Iterative Edit-based Unsupervised Sentence Simplification
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-28)We present a new iterative approach towards unsupervised edit-based sentence simplification. Our approach is guided by a scoring function to select simplified sentences generated after iteratively performing word and ... -
Iterative Rounding Approximation Algorithms in Network Design
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)Iterative rounding has been an increasingly popular approach to solving network design optimization problems ever since Jain introduced the concept in his revolutionary 2-approximation for the Survivable Network Design ... -
An Itinerant Architect
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-22)An itinerant architect—one who learns, teaches, and practices architecture on the road—has the ability to improve spaces that would otherwise never reach their fullest potential. The profession of architecture as it stands ... -
iTRAQ-based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Mammalian Cell Lines
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)High-throughput proteomics approaches have been successfully employed in the inclusive and unbiased characterization of cellular proteome. In this thesis, we are aiming to comprehensively compare changes in proteome ... -
It’s About Time (for the Next Task): Time Available and Next Task Valence Interact to Explain Velocity’s Influence on Affect
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-14)Over the course of a typical day, employees often face a seemingly never-ending sequence of goals. Given the omnipresence and importance of goals in the workplace, a keen understanding of the goal pursuit process is ... -
I’ll Share With You But Only If… The influence of context, communication, and perspective taking on preschoolers’ social behaviours
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)A key aspect of children’s development is learning how to navigate the social world. To do so successfully, children must be able to adapt their social behaviours to the diverse social contexts and demands that they encounter ... -
"J'y Suis. Pour de Bon." Montreal Jewish Education and the Social Construction of Diaspora Identity
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-25)This work examines the meaning of the State of Israel in diaspora Jewish education in contemporary Montreal, Canada. It does so by asking three central questions: “Is there a common idea of the nation?” “How is the idea ... -

The Jackalope in the Room
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-29)The Jackalope in the Room is an installation of sculptural and found objects that have been altered or contextualized in a way that conflates strangeness with normality. Many of the items in the installation were given as ... -
Jaeger’s Strong 3-Flow Conjecture for Graphs in Low Genus Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-05)In 1972, Tutte posed the 3-Flow Conjecture: that all 4-edge-connected graphs have a nowhere zero 3-flow. This was extended by Jaeger et al. (1992) to allow vertices to have a prescribed, possibly non-zero difference (modulo ... -
