JunkDrawerPhantomDressUpSoirée
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)This exhibition analyzes the archive as a malleable tool for art making through the creation of a personal archive comprised of concepts for images that were then used to construct various projects over a two-year period. ... -
Jury Decision-Making Study
(University of Waterloo, 2006)In this thesis I combine the social network analysis approach with the traditional experimental approach to study the phenomena of jury decision-making. I examine whether with each trial a social network is formed. The ... -
Just and Unjust Sanctions: The Case Study of Iran
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)This dissertation aims to accomplish two major goals: 1. To provide a theoretical framework for studying and evaluating justice in sanctions by modifying and expanding the Just War Tradition (JWT); 2. To apply this ... -
Just Resilience? Evaluating Equity and Justice in a Sample of 100 Resilient Cities Plans
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-22)Resilience has become an increasingly prominent discourse within urban planning to address the sustainability challenges faced by many urban areas. Resilience offers a framework to holistically approach environmental, ... -
Just-In-Time Push Prefetching: Accelerating the Mobile Web
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-19)Web pages take noticeably longer to load when accessing the Internet using high-latency wide-area wireless networks like 3G. This delay can result in lower user satisfaction and lost revenue for web site operators. By ... -
The k-best paths in Hidden Markov Models. Algorithms and Applications to Transmembrane Protein Topology Recognition.
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)Traditional algorithms for hidden Markov model decoding seek to maximize either the probability of a state path or the number of positions of a sequence assigned to the correct state. These algorithms provide only a ... -
A k-Conjugacy Class Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-07)In any group G, we may extend the definition of the conjugacy class of an element to the conjugacy class of a k-tuple, for a positive integer k. When k = 2, we are forming the conjugacy classes of ordered pairs, when k ... -
k-Connectedness and k-Factors in the Semi-Random Graph Process
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-20)The semi-random graph process is a single-player graph game where the player is initially presented an edgeless graph with n vertices. In each round, the player is offered a vertex u uniformly at random and subsequently ... -
K-theory for C*-Algebras and for Topological Spaces
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-27)K-theory is the study of a collection of abelian groups that are invariant to C*-algebras or to locally compact Hausdorff spaces. These groups are useful for distinguishing C*-algebras and topological spaces, and they are ... -
Kalman Filter Based Sensor Placement For Burgers Equation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-03)The algorithm used for determining sensor placement in this thesis will be based on the Kalman filter. This filter is very famous and its application are numerous - some examples include aircraft navigation, finance and ... -
Kampung Resilience: Mitigating threats of eviction in Kampung Muara Baru
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-25)The following research investigates the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) master plan within the context of Muara Baru, Jakarta, as a neo-colonial practice that threatens to displace marginalized urban ... -
Keeping it simple. Short stories written by the young generation in post-war Germany.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)This thesis deals with selected short stories written by the so-called “young generation” in post-war Germany. To emphasize the importance of the historical, social and political background for the popularity of the short ... -
Keeping Up With the Joneses: Electricity Consumption, Publicity and Social Network Influence in Milton, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)Abstract This study used an exploratory research focus to investigate if making electricity consumption public and subject to social norms and networks resulted in consumption decreases for households in Milton, Ontario. ... -
Kernel Methods and Measures for Classification with Transparency, Interpretability and Accuracy in Health Care
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)Support vector machines are a popular method in machine learning. They learn from data about a subject, for example, lung tumors in a set of patients, to classify new data, such as, a new patient’s tumor. The new tumor is ... -
Kernel Methods in Computer-Aided Constructive Drug Design
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-14)A drug is typically a small molecule that interacts with the binding site of some target protein. Drug design involves the optimization of this interaction so that the drug effectively binds with the target protein while ... -
Kernelized Supervised Dictionary Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)The representation of a signal using a learned dictionary instead of predefined operators, such as wavelets, has led to state-of-the-art results in various applications such as denoising, texture analysis, and face ... -
Key Agreement over Wiretap Models with Non-Causal Side Information
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-20)The security of information is an indispensable element of a communication system when transmitted signals are vulnerable to eavesdropping. This issue is a challenging problem in a wireless network as propagated signals ... -
Key Compression for Isogeny-Based Cryptosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-21)We present a method for key compression in quantum-resistant isogeny-based cryptosystems, which reduces storage and transmission costs of per-party public information by a factor of two, with no effect on the security level ... -
