(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Informal settlements located on river edges in impoverished Brazilian urban peripheries, such as the Roncador River region in Duque de Caxias city, have been increasingly suffering from the effects of more intense urban ... -
3D Silicone Whipping Additive Manufacturing (SWAM): Technology, Applications, and Research Needs.
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Additive manufacturing has become increasingly popular and is developing in many technologies. This thesis focusses on the additive manufacturing with paste technology, more specifically the goal is to further develop a ... -
A Data-Driven Approach for Generating Vortex Shedding Regime Maps for an Oscillating Cylinder
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Recent developments in wind energy extraction methods from vortex-induced vibration (VIV) have fueled the research into vortex shedding behaviour. The vortex shedding map is vital for the consistent use of normalized ... -
Vision-based Driver State Monitoring Using Deep Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-20)Road accidents cause thousands of injuries and losses of lives every year, ranking among the top lifetime odds of death causes. More than 90% of the traffic accidents are caused by human errors [1], including sight ... -
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 ... -
The Fading Village: An Archive of Exile and Errantry
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-19)Institutional archives—our hegemonic repositories of cultural memory—are in the midst of an identity crisis. They are no longer seen as neutral sites of knowledge retrieval, but rather as instruments of knowledge production. ... -
Age-Sensitive Features for Detection of Muscle Fatigue using the High-Density Electromyogram
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)The processes behind fatigue development within the muscles have been a topic of interest for exercise scientists for decades. This is because fatigue is one of the primary reasons for a decrease in performance and increase ... -
3D Mesh and Pose Recovery of a Foot from Single Image
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)The pandemic and the major shift to online shopping has highlighted the current difficulties in getting proper sizing for clothing and shoes. Being able to accurately measure shoes using readily available smartphones would ... -
Environmental taxation: The impact of carbon tax policy commitment on technology choice and social welfare
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Motivated by multiple real-world settings, we determine a social welfare-maximizing regulator's tax policies that induce a profit-maximizing polluting firm to make green technology choices. Using a game-theoretic approach ... -
Worst-Case Latency Analysis for the Versal Network-on-Chip
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)The recent line of Versal FPGA devices from Xilinx Inc. includes a hard Network-On-Chip (NoC) embedded in the programmable logic, designed to be a high-performance system-level interconnect. While the target markets for ... -
Managing HBM’s bandwidth in Multi-Die FPGAs using Overlay NoCs
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)We can improve HBM bandwidth distribution and utilization on a multi-die FPGA like Xilinx Alveo U280 by using Overlay Network-on-Chips (NoCs). HBM in Xilinx Alveo U280 offers 8GBs of memory capacity with a theoretical ... -
An Intelligent Ambulatory Fall Risk Assessment Method Based on the Detection of Compensatory Balance Reactions and Environmental Factors
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)Falls in older adults are a critical public health problem worldwide and impact one in three older adults at least once each year. In addition to physical consequences (e.g., hip fracture) falls can lead to negative ... -
