Localization and Counting of Indoor Populations on a University Campus using Wi-Fi Connection Logs and Floor Plans
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-17)The localization and counting of persons in indoor spaces is an area of extensive research. Indoor population metrics can inform energy conservation, health and safety, security, resource optimization, and location-aware ... -
Localization and possible functions of Arabidopsis HOTHEAD protein
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)Molecular analyses using sixteen insertion-deletion polymorphic markers revealed that somatic sectoring occurs relatively frequently during the course of normal vegetative development. This is the first report that documents ... -
Localization of cortical potentials evoked by balance disturbances
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-26)The ability to correct balance disturbances is essential for maintaining upright stability. Recent literature highlights a potentially important role for the cerebral cortex in controlling compensatory balance reactions. ... -
Localized-Based Control Algorithm For Passenger Ride Comfort
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)In this thesis, a new localized-based suspension control strategy is developed, simulated and validated with experimental results. Basic concepts of mathematical vehicle models, suspension systems, and conventional control ... -
LOCATE/DISLOCATE: An Exhibition of Haiku Videos
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-06)My work is concerned with perception and presentness. Using digital video I am employing a notion of “perceptualism” put forward by artist Jack Chambers. Acknowledging HD television and high speed internet, this work ... -
Locating Instability in the Lumbar Spine: Characterizing the Eigenvector
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Overloading of the back can cause instability such that buttressing the instability is a primary objective of many of the leading edge therapeutic approaches. However, a challenge lies in determining the location of the ... -
Locating Self through Adoption Homeland Tours: A Phenomenological Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-01)Tourism and adoption are separate subjects, which are both well-studied. Studies that look at adoption and tourism together are hard to find. Generally, these studies are written from a social work perspective rather than ... -
Location Choice of the Micro-Creative Enterprises (MCEs): Case Study of Local Creative Clusters in Shanghai, China
(University of Waterloo, 2020-03-19)As the creative industries have become some of the fastest-growing sectors in the post-industrial era, their location choice has been focused by both academics and policymakers. Empirical research state that creative ... -
Location-Routing Problems with Economies of Scale
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)The purpose of the location-routing problem is to select facility locations, assign customers to facilities, and design routes between facilities and customers. The most common objective is to achieve minimal cost. In ... -
Log Event Filtering Using Clustering Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-01)Large software systems are composed of various different run-time components, partner applications and, processes. When such systems operate they are monitored so that audits can be performed once a failure occurs or ... -
The Logarithmic Derivative and Model-Theoretic Analysability in Differentially Closed Fields
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-22)This thesis deals with internal and analysable types, mainly in the context of the stable theory of differentially closed fields. Two main problems are dealt with: the construction of types analysable in the constants with ... -
Logging Statements Analysis and Automation in Software Systems with Data Mining and Machine Learning Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-19)Log files are widely used to record runtime information of software systems, such as the timestamp of an event, the name or ID of the component that generated the log, and parts of the state of a task execution. The rich ... -
Logic In Context: An essay on the contextual foundations of logical pluralism
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-02)The core pluralist thesis about logic, broadly construed, is the claim that two or more logics are correct. In this thesis I discuss a uniquely interesting variant of logical pluralism that I call logical contextualism. ... -
Logic in Pictures: An Examination of Diagrammatic Representations, Graph Theory and Logic
(University of Waterloo, 1994)This thesis explores the various forms of reasoning that are associated with diagrams. It does this by a logical analysis of diagrammatic symbols. The thesis is divided into three sections dealing with different aspects ... -
The Logic of Imagination in Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-19)Spaces are determined not only by their physical qualities, but also by the narratives created during their occupation. These persistent yet ephemeral stories infuse our experience of space with meaning and can be the ... -
Logical Superposition Coded Modulation for Wireless Video Multicasting
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-23)This thesis documents the design of logical superposition coded (SPC) modulation for implementation in wireless video multicast systems, to tackle the issues caused by multi-user channel diversity, one of the legacy problems ... -
Lognormal Mixture Model for Option Pricing with Applications to Exotic Options
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-23)The Black-Scholes option pricing model has several well recognized deficiencies, one of which is its assumption of a constant and time-homogeneous stock return volatility term. The implied volatility smile has been studied ... -
London Layover: Impermanent dwelling in a nomad's city
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-19)Presently, 190 million people live outside of their countries of origin. Almost all have moved in search of a better life: higher wages, or an escape from war or persecution. However, a small but growing demographic is ... -
