(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-05)In her book, "Indian Classical dance", Kapila Vatsyayan describes dance as the highest order of spiritual discipline, the enactment of which is symbolic of a ritual sacrifice of one's being to a transcendental order. The ... -
Dancing to the Desert: A Proposal for Self-Help Reconstruction of Post-Earthquake Cities in Hot-Arid Climates
(University of Waterloo, 2012-01-23)Natural hazards kill 82,500 people globally in a typical year, with earthquakes as the largest cause of death amongst all natural hazards in Central and Southern America, East Asia, Europe, and the Near East. Damages are ... -
Darkness Encountered in Light
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-15)The old axiom that history is doomed to repeat itself seems to be true in the contemporary world. Ideologies of hate and division are having something of a resurgence, despite our common cries of ‘never again.’ We can trace ... -
Darkness with Shards of Light
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-23)Realities of the world are often difficult to face. We dream of a world devoid of social ills. In the notion of 'utopia', we imagine such an environment - sparkling and full of light, but this perfect world is a delusion. ... -
DASE: Document-Assisted Symbolic Execution for Improving Automated Test Generation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-06-17)Software testing is crucial for uncovering software defects and ensuring software reliability. Symbolic execution has been utilized for automatic test generation to improve testing effectiveness. However, existing test ... -
Data Balancing and Hyper-parameter Optimization for Machine Learning Algorithms for Secure IoT Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Nowadays, many industries rely on Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and their ability to learn from existing data to make inferences about new unlabeled data. Applying ML algorithms to the network security domain is not ... -
Data Driven Efficiency for E-Warehousing: Descriptive and Prescriptive Analytics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-18)Based on data provided by a warehouse logistics management company, we analyze the warehousing operation and its major processes of order picking and order consolidation. Without access to the actual layouts and process ... -
Data Driven Modelling and Optimization of MEA Absorption Process for CO2 Capture
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-27)Global warming is a rising issue and there are many research studies aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon capture and storage technologies improved throughout the years to contribute as a solution to this ... -
Data Envelopment Analysis may Obfuscate Corporate Financial Data: Using Support Vector Machine and Data Envelopment Analysis to Predict Corporate Failure for Nonmanufacturing Firms
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Corporate failure prediction has drawn numerous scholars’ attention because of its usefulness in corporate risk management, as well as in regulating corporate operational status. Most research on this topic focuses on ... -
Data Fusion for Materials Location Estimation in Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-29)Effective automated tracking and locating of the thousands of materials on construction sites improves material distribution and project performance and thus has a significant positive impact on construction productivity. ... -
Data Reduction Algorithms in Machine Learning and Data Science
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-19)Raw data are usually required to be pre-processed for better representation or discrimination of classes. This pre-processing can be done by data reduction, i.e., either reduction in dimensionality or numerosity (cardinality). ... -
